That was a great trade. On draft day in 1999, Casserly acquired all of the New Orleans Saints 1999 selections, plus their first and third-round picks in 2000 by swapping the Redskins' fifth selection (RB Ricky Williams) in the first round for the Saints' 12th choice. He still managed to obtain the player that Washington wanted, Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey.
Casserly was also credited for putting together the 87 strike team that went undefeated and helped propel us to the super bowl.
While Casserly didn't alwyas draft well, he did draft Brian Mitchell in the fifth-round in 1990l. In 1996, Casserly picked Auburn University running back Stephen Davis in the fourth round. Davis paced the NFC in rushing in 1999 with 1,450 yards. Casserly also drafted future Pro Bowlers in wide receiver Keenan McCardell (12th round, 1991) and tight end Frank Wycheck (sixth round, 1993). During the 1999 off-season, Casserly acquired veteran quarterback Brad Johnson who responded with a Pro Bowl season and then won a super bowl with TB after Snyder got rid of them.
You can find almost any GM has picked poorly in the draft from time to time.
But one thing I can say is Casserly was a million times better than Cerratto .
