I agree wholeheartedly.

Landing a quality first or second round pick isn't rocket science. You just have to evaluate properly.

Landing a quality 5th or 6th round draft pick IS rocket science, and some would argue that it's flat out luck. I'm not sure which one it is, but the point is you can't f up on the early picks. The Redskins do not.

Obviously Carlos Rogers is never going to be an elite player, but he can be a solid CB for us in the future. Gregg Williams decided that Antrel Rolle and Pacman had too many red flags around that, and had CR as the number one rated CB on our board.

Arizona had Antrel Rolle No. 1 at CB on their board, but Arizona had a propensity to do that. For a long time, leading all the way up to this season.
