The Real Problem of the Redskins ...

Samuels - 1st Rounder
Jansen - early 2nd rounder
Rabach - 3rd rounder, FA pick-up
Thomas - 2nd rounder, FA pick-up
Kendall - 1st rounder, FA pick-up

Also to dispell any misconceptions, the Hogs were built by Bethard/Gibbs/Bugel through the later rounds and from Bugel's great coaching, not high draft picks. Lachey and May were the exceptions:

Lachey - 1st
May - 1st
Jacoby - Undrafted
Grimm - 3rd
McKenzie - 11th
Schlereth - 10th
Simmons - 6th
Bostic - Undrafted
Starke - 11th

I've tried addressing this latter point on multiple occassions and it constantly falls on deaf ears (or I guess blind eyes in our world). People think that Jacoby, Starke, etc. walked in as The Hogs. Not true, they became The Hogs.
