I don't agree that WR is more of a concern than our lines.

OL & DL have been neglected for some time now. I personally have been clamoring for DE's since the 2005 season where it was five in a row or we don't go. That season we had the same problem that we do now where our defense was stout but we'd give their QB tons of time in the pocket.

Andre Carter was a nice pickup but it shouldn't have stopped there. We needed 2 or 3 guys like him in our ranks. That position much like OL was neglected in part, I believe, because they are unglamorous positions. Washington loves it's skill players and seems to solve their superficial issues by overcompensating our weaknesses with the respective skill player.

I believe if you want to build competitive consistency you have to have a great OL & DL. If we had that we could've consistently dominated the teams that we were supposed to, like the Lions, Rams and the Bengals.
