CNNSI.com - SI Online - Peter King - Monday Morning QB - Peter King's Monday Morning QB: Scaling the NFL Draft - Monday April 22, 2002 02:24 PM (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/peter_king/news/2002/04/22/mmqb/)
2. Washington. We all knew Dan Snyder needed to do something starry in this draft. He couldn't get the receiver he coveted, Tennessee sprinter Donte' Stallworth (Steve Spurrier would have turned him into a legend). So Washington traded down twice for the player it might have taken at 18, Tulane quarterback Patrick Ramsey, and picked up three extra picks in the process. Ramsey had become a hot prospect since the scouting combine for his incredibly tireless arm -- one scout told me he threw to receiver after receiver for their workouts in Indianapolis and estimated he threw 2,000 passes while at the combine -- and what-do-you-want-me-to-do-next work ethic. One quibble: Ladell Betts in the second round? They could have used that pick more wisely.
Seems Peter King was right on in his analysis again.
