I agree with most of the what people have said so far, but I'd hold off on quarterback until 2009.

Long term draft strategy:

2008: 1st round LT, 2nd round WR/BPA, 3rd round BPA
2009: 1st round QB, 2nd/3rd round BPA
2010: 1st/2nd round RB, 1st/2nd/3rd round BPA

I hire a tough defensive minded headcoach and the most aggressive offensive and defensive coordinators I can find, wanting an aggressive, hard-nosed team that will knock you on your ass and then put their collective boot on your throat, in all phases of the game.

I'd focus heavily initially on the offensive roster, working first on building the best line possible, and putting a veteran quarterback behind them for the first season to season-and-a-half. My line (and my 2nd round WR from '08) should be solid and productive before my '09 Franchise QB ever sees the field. The last thing I want to do is give him the David Carr treatment.

I go with a focus on offense first because I think it's the more difficult unit to build, and takes longer. It's also better in terms of entertaining my new fanbase.

Personnel focus begins to shift towards bolstering the defense (which would be about league average at this point, 15-20) in the latter half of the '09 draft and then into 2010, although I acquire the final piece of the offense that year, my franchise back.

The defense would come together in a season to a season and a half, and I have the team I want on the field by 2011.
