However, the WORST Redskins' pick ever was Heath Shuler in 1994. Skins fans, myself included, thought this guy would be the greatest QB ever...he sucked horribly. Even worse than Patrick Ramsey. In 1995, we drafted Michael Westbrook, who was great for a year, then beat up Stephen Davis in practice and failed miserably after that. Desmond Howard in 1992 was a lot better AFTER he left Washington.
But, look at the last few drafts, very solid. |
If memory serves those successful picks are slanted toward the top half of the first round, my 12 yr old nephew who is a mega football fan could be successful in the top half of the first round. What amazes me is that Skins fans have to talk about how DS, the owner, has done in the draft. You dont hear Steeler fans talk about how Rooney did in the draft because Rooney doesnt draft, his football people do. The first step toward the Skins becomming a successful organization again will be when the owner stops making talent evaluations and draft decisions.
