For me, I think we get RT in FA, then draft the top C/G available with our first pick. Typically, it's all LTs that go in the first round (mostly) so it's likely we could get either the top or second best prospect.
We'll have to see who we can get in FA before the draft plan is finalized. But I get what you're saying. We must upgrade our OL in the off-season. I would love to add a couple of big, nasty OL's .
I suppose that what we do about the OL in the draft depends on who we can get that is worth signing in FA. I doubt that the Skins would sign a FA RT when they could sign an OG or C who is a much better player.
But I think you're right that it is possible to get a highly rated OG or C in the second round. Probably a RT candidate, as well.
Also, our TE's and RB's didn't block worth a dam in pass-pro last season, either. I don't know what we can do about that.

Honestly, I'd be OK if Monty and Lichtensisneirneitneterger stayed around, but the right side of the line needs to be replaced. There are a ton of potential RTs we could get in FA and as I said, we could get at least a blue chip prospect at G/C. As EARTHQUAKE reminded me in another thread, it's been far too many years since the Randy Thomas/John Jansen/Chris Samuels years. Not to mention how many years since those guys were in their primes?

Redskins’ Joshua Morgan says Mike Shanahan wouldn’t meet with him (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2014/01/15/redskins-joshua-morgan-says-mike-shanahan-wouldnt-meet-with-him/?tid=pm_sports_pop)
I'll post this here. I think Josh Morgan fell out of favor because he didn't want to play special teams. I'd bring him back at a reduced price.
Shanny is just a strange dude.

Good read.
It will make you want to bring him back, being that he is one of us at heart. But after some of the things I read about his rehab last offseason and how he had gotten some explosiveness back I was hoping for a big year. I don't have any idea what coaches tape will say about this season all I know is he was a non factor early.
I still see #2 and a slot guy as a need. Maybe we have a slot receiver that is on the team but I don't see a game changer currently here. As far as a 2 we have some hopefuls but the none of the guys have yet to seperate themselves.

A guy like Julian Edelman could be a great slot guy. He will have a higher price tag.
Decker, I don't know if I trust him to be as good post playing in the Broncos offense.

Yeah I mean is he good because of manning? That's a tough call
Decker was decent even with Tebow 44-612-8. I'd take him.

That would be one for a nfl scout/coach who can watch the all 22 and get a decent idea of what the guy is doing.
He has two better options at WR on his own team.. Maybe three if you count J Thomas

Hey now that's like taking a jab at Tebow.
