I think the o-line matters more than the QB or RB. 

A good QB only helps you on passing plays. 

A good RB only helps you on running plays.

But a good o-line will give the QB enough time to find an open receiver and a running back the holes to run thru.  I would rather have the leagues best o-line and a mediocre QB and RB, then the leagues best QB and RB and a mediocre o-line.

^^ However finding a QB only takes one pick as does a RB.  Putting together an offensive line requires 5 players.  Probably easier to find a QB or a RB than an entire offensive line in a draft.

You talk about the Patriots and their retread RB's but they have one of the best O-lines in the league.  And have for years.  Not to mention the endless stream of trade-downs, value picks, and accumulating future picks.  I don't know why more teams don't learn from this.

Look at the great rb's. How many had a mediocre line? The best rb who did not have a great line is Sanders.

So, if there's no quality QB available at #15, but say, a Mark Ingram is, you'd rather take another position over him? This makes no sense to me. Of course, our drafting in the past few years also doesn't make sense. Ginn, passing on Ryan and Flacco, then trading down so we could pass on Dez Bryant and Tim Tebow (don't start with the hate there either- he looked better in his two games this year than anyone WE had under center). If Ingram is available, no reason he should stay on the board. -EK

Short term thinking, that will result in fans getting excited about the new flashy offensive weapon, but will do little to actually win.  Championship teams aren't built in one draft.

Agreed.  I'm just saying that if you're gonna get lucky, it's easier to get lucky on 1 pick then several.
