Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Would it be practical to just (mostly) draft o-line this upcoming year

There are too many holes. They need to fix the offensive line and get the right personnell for the 3-4. They are either going to have to half ass fill needs on both sides of the ball or neglect one side entirely. I cannot see them neglecting one side entirely so I believe that they will try to put some duct tape on both sides of the ball rather than making either side elite.

Honestly the production from the WR's hasn't been that bad this season. McNabb just doesn't have time to throw.

Personally I believe that they could get away with drafting nothing but offensive lineman next season and waiting another year to fix the defensive front seven as long as the guys that they draft can open holes and pass protect better than what we have now. If the offense could manage 4 touchdowns a game next season then this defense is good enough to hold most victories with the personnel that they have. Sadly, you cannot guarentee that type of production out of a brand new unit.
