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

We only have 2 picks of players that we can expect to start for us in the future considering we traded our 3rd and 4th.

I think It would be a mistake to not draft a QB in the 1st, but if that is not available then OL would be a good place to go next. IMO our DL is actually looking worse than our OL next year, but I would by no means complain if we address the o-line. The reason being that we will need to draft a QB of the future very soon considering McNabb's age. I want that QB to have a solid group of guys he can be protected by in his first couple of years he takes the field. I think that a young qb protected by a poor o-line could potentially ruin him. I don't know this for a fact because who is to say that the young qbs that had poor o-lines weren't just terrible from the start, but I think it is a possibility I would feel alot better if our future young qb was well protected.
