an interesting article on the past drafts. We have a lot of discussions about this topic so it was an interesting read.

This is interesting. Redskins are really a unique situation though because they've used the draft as a tool to get proven players.

It does kinda take into account that the Redskins traded picks for players, it does that for all the teams. However, the way he does it means that Coles counts as a starter/pro bowler for the Jets and not the Redskins.

yeah, it really doesn't take that into account... but you can see that the bengals and the dolphins haven't had much luck, whereas baltimore and tampa bay have been consistant in scouting...

trading picks, like the dolphins did for ricky williams, or the redskins have done isn't counted, which limits the usefulness of the study a bit... but including trades would give the study babylonian complexity i'm sure

This is done by Dr. Z. The same guy that assured us Randy Moss would be a bust in his mock draft a few years back.

everyone hits and misses i guess... we just have a habit of remembering the misses.

Heath Schuler...one of the worst picks ever, almost at the level of Ryan Leaf.

Heath was a bad pick. We should of just drafted someone else and got Gus later. At the time you would to belive he was the future. What a dissapointment. But that is the risk you take in the draft.

Interesting to see the Skins aren't the horrible drafters that some people would like to think they are.

No not horrible, but this only looks at the first three rounds and he says that it shows that the teams are all about even. The line that got me was "lifeblood of their future." You've got to admit, with our front office trading draft picks for proven players, the message sent is "the future is now." Not that I mind, right now, but soon we'll miss having those cheap young stars on hand.
