I think that the defensive coaches, in general, are more capable of coaching up players than the offensive side of the ball. Historically (recent history) with this team, developing defensive players has been the strength of the coaching staff, while a weakness appears to be developing the offensive players.

With this thinking, I would prefer picking up an offensive player that has already matured enough to be able to play at a high level rather than relying on developing Heyer. That would mean picking up a proven free agent (which the redskins still may do) or pick one of the top 4 OTs in draft. I would think the lesser of the 2 evils is going into the season with a weakness at LB rather than OT because -

1. The defense is the stronger of the 2 units.
2. The defense is better at developing players.
3. The strength of a offensive line is measured by it's weakest link IMO.
