Oklahoma OT Trent Williams

It's going to be one thing if we draft a jersey-selling QB with pick number 4, knowing his college offensive line might be just as effective as the Squirtbags, but if the Dallas Cowboys start picking all the best available offensive linemen before we get around to it, it's going to be a sad day in Redskins management history. What's the point of getting a brand name GM if the Cowboys get what we need most?

Perhaps Bruce Allen has a trick up his sleeves, we pull off trading the 4th overall pick for two later picks, one used late 1st round for a quality QB and the other in the early 2nd round for a quality lineman. Surely someone out there wants the next Mark Sanchez at number 4. Maybe we dangle the pick in front of someone for their coveted proven [and low on mileage!] offensive tackle, though that happens as much as teams trade their star QBs. Then again, there are some linemen out there who may not be mouth-watering, but won't leave a bad taste in our mouths like some of our current offensive linemen.

I really try not to toss our line under the bus, but when Jason Campbell is lying on his back and walking into press conferences with a black eye, I just don't think the issue is that he forgot to tie his shoes. Yes, if Clinton Portis was back there, have mercy on the souls of any blitzing LB who thinks Portis' blocking is overrated. Sometimes I wonder if Portis encourages Jason to audible when there's a blitz to max protect so CP can continue building his highlight reel [since he's not breaking many 20+ yard runs anymore]. Wait a minute. No audibles for professional QBs in a Jim Zorn offense. Just stand there and pray what's-his-name can block.

Listen, if we don't draft offensive linemen because we are in desperate need for them, let's at least draft them so the Cowboys don't get them.
