So what do you rebuild first? A lot of teams start with the passing offense, but that's a weird situation for us because few teams that lose as consistently as we do have been able to have a source of passing offense each of the last five years (well, 2007 is debatable). So, do we start by tearing up the defense? The offensive line? The running game?

If we choose to rebuild, which seems like a reasonable option, I'm not even sure where we would begin. We don't have a lot of money tied up in our passing game, but that's been our only bright spot this year. And our receivers are, if nothing else, young.
I think you have to start up front. Problem is we never have enough draft picks to really begin an infusion of youth. I've always believed that a great offensive line will allow you to get RBs on the cheap. Timmy Smith, Terrell Davis, and Stephen Davis come to mind. Get some good blockers up front, now your QB has time and bargain running backs can find running lanes.

If you have to start somewhere, start at the O-line.
