ChampSkinsFanatic Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6688022 Washington Redskins :point2sky Best overall pick: DB Darrell Green, Round 1, Pick 28, 1983 Will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2008; again, much like Slater, guys who spend forever playing for the team that drafted them are infinitely valuable and special for a variety of reasons. :helmet: Best value pick: QB Mark Rypien, Round 6, Pick 146, 1986 While Mark Schlereth was a little more valuable than Rypien, 45 percent of his career was with Denver, 45 percent was with Washington, and 10 percent will be as a cadaver. :doh: Worst pick: T Andre Johnson, Round 1, Pick 30, 1997 Johnson never played for the Redskins, instead appearing in four games as a Lions player before vanishing. Here's a line of busted first-rounders: Desmond Howard (No. 4 overall), Tom Carter (No. 17), Heath Shuler (No. 3), Michael Westbrook (No. 4), and Johnson.

Riggo-toni Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Shuler and Howard both did more long term damage to the franchise than Johnson. A late first round bust isn't as devastating as a 3rd overall QB, or trading two #1s for a #4 overall and using it on a career special teamer, whose career on special teams didn't even start until after he left.

rumpshakers Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Nice Article, In my mind its a tie between Westbrook and Shuler as worst pick. It also shows that we have bad luck also, we had alot of failures compared to other teams. Dang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang... Luck, nothing. 1st round busts were Casserly's trademark when he was GM here. Every single one was a bust or a disappointment until Bailey. Every single one. His best 1st rounder before 99? Kenard Lang. He's the only one still on an NFL roster, and he's no world-beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta put Westbrook over Howard. The guy was not only a bust, but one of the worst teammates our team ever had. He could bring a playoff contending team down with his attitude. The most famous shot of him is ground pounding one of our own players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
