What I care about is whether or not either of these folks can play on the offensive line - - nothing else.
The Redskins' O-Line was very bad last year mainly due to Jansen's injury. It should be better this year barring a lot of injuries. But let's not get carried away and begin to categorize this crew as having three or four Hall of Fame candidates in there. Jansen is the best offensive lineman and he is coming back off an injury. There are several good players there but no great ones.
And if the OL has a bad year, an immobile Patrick Ramsey will be a sitting duck back there and may not make it though a full 16 game schedule. So, that's why the OL needs as much upgrading as is humanly possible.

The same point could be made about any position. EVERY position could use an upgrade if it is possible. Even with a future Hall of Fame type player (not saying any of these guys are), you still need quality depth in case of injury.
My opinion is that with Rabach and the return of Jansen, the line will be much improved.
