texasthunder Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I thought this was an interesting article in regards to how teams have done in the last 5 years of the draft. Its rather lenghthy but some key points are: We started by accepting the premise that no draft class should be evaluated for at least two years, allowing the necessary time for young players to develop. And about the Redskins: Thirteen teams had 38 or fewer total choices, and only the Steelers (38), Giants (37) and Redskins (24) made the playoffs. It is interesting to note that the Redskins actually had nine fewer picks than the 31st-ranked club, Arizona, but Washington actually ranks fifth on a percentage basis with 30.8 percent of its picks between 2003-05 becoming starters in ’07.

CM916 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 We have always been able to do more with less and find quality guys in the later rounds like Horton and Cartwright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 All the draft buzz last April made us notice that we're actually quite good at drafting. We just don't seem to like doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
