The skins have waited to address the O-line through the draft.
Take a look at the success rate of recent first round Offensive linemen in their rookie season.

2008
Jake Long - Miami
Ryan Clady - Denver
Branden Albert - KC
Jeff Otah - Carolina
Duane Brown - Houston

2007
Joe Thomas - Cleveland
Levi Brown - Arizona
Joe Staley - San Francisco
Ben Grubbs - Baltimore

2006
D'Brickishaw Ferguson - New York Jets
Davin Joeseph - Tampa Bay

All of these players made a big impact in their rookie seasons. I think the redskins are hoping to plug in a high profile rookie to boost the OL in a position that historically rookies are able to step in and play at a high level sooner then most positions.
