I tried to break this down scientifically. Here's how I'd rank the list:

1) Charles Mann (had all best years as a Redskin, only one year in SF. #71 would be highly recognizable as a Charles Mann jersey and would also be unique).
2) Gary Clark (Also had all best years as Redskin. If you happened to be affiliated with JMU in some way that would be an added bonus. #84 also would be fairly recognizable to most fans as Gary Clark and not, say, Taylor Jacobs).
3) Wilbur Marshall (Awesome player, loved him as a kid, like when Madden talked about him de-pantsing Keith McKellar in SB XXVI - because he just just nasty on the field. Also love #58, but the downside here would be a slightly less iconic Redskins player who made 2 Pro Bowls as a Chicago Bear).
4) Art Monk (Enough said, only reason I'd avoid is because it is less unique than the above players, though it would give you better re-sale value).
5) Darrell Green (see Art Monk)
6) Ricky Sanders (Would be even more unique than Clark, but he was not as good a player).
7) Monte Coleman (Played a long long time, but I don't really remember him as a dominant force, more of a consistent presence. Played longer than Marshall, obviously, but did not wreak the same kind of havoc).
8) Earnest Byner (Also had good years elsewhere, though Cleveland Browns fans only remember one thing. Too many other #21's in DC).
9) Joe Jacoby (Just wouldn't look right on such a small jersey. Also don't like the way 60's numbers look that much).
10) Russ Grimm (see above)
11) Brian Mitchell (On second thought, I'd move him above Ricky Sanders but don't want to renumber my list).
12) Jeff Bostic (Not a big fan of the guy. That might come more from his TV work than his playing, but still wouldn't want a Bostic jersey).
13) Daryl Grant (Great play to score against Dallas - though Dexter Manley made the hit to knock the ball lose...why isn't Dexter on the list? - but not sure I'd say he was a great player. Of course I never watched him play so take that with a grain of salt).
14) Gerald Riggs (Scored touchdowns in the 'Heavy Jumbo' package, but best years were in Atlanta).
