As far as who goes, you'd hope that whoever they draft will easily replace any of our current backups who weren't able to break into a starting position this year.
It's also important to point out that drafting linemen shouldn't just be a one or two-year action plan. You have to layer your picks, and find a way to take two or three every other draft or so no matter what.

We agree on the bolded part. A long term commitment to the OL is in order.
If the OL gets it figured out before the end of the year though, I'm not sure we should use one of our first two picks on an offensive line player. This is different from suggesting we shouldn't add any lineman in the draft.
I think our biggest single offensive need is RB, and I would not pass up a chance to use one of the top two picks in the draft next year on a RB. Then we have to decide whether the other one should be used on the offensive line, or the defensive back seven. And you have to admit, the defensive back seven is making a pretty darn strong case for itself.
Either way, I'm picking up at least two lineman in the draft if I'm in charge of the Skins.
