Ruhskins:

Good thread. Thank you.

The Redskins' OL will not be reconstructed in a single off-season unless there is another miraculous draft event like the one that brought in Mark May, Russ Grimm and Joe Jacoby in a single year. (I think that was 1981 but it could have been 1982.) It could happen again; it just isn't likely...

The key for this offseason seems to me to acquire at least one - - and prefereably two - - young offensive lineman who will be the anchors of the reconstructed OL in the future. I really don't care what position(s) the new anchor(s) take up on the OL, but having two young studs there would be a real positive sign for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Waiting to see how "the young guys on the roster" develop is frought with danger. Waiting to see how they might play is what put the Skins in the position of having to sign Levi Jones at the last minute - - actually in mid-season - - last year. Other eleventh-hour tinkering with the OL produced other players who just couldn't play all that well.

If the Skins do not have new bodies on the roster before training camp starts, they will be looking for culls later on down the line. And what is on the roster now is "too many culls"...
