Did we get him in the first or something and when did we get him??
Yeah we drafted him in 1996 with the #30 pick in the first round.
He spent his first year inactive and then they cut him in his second training camp.
What idiot GM made that pick I can't remember? Maybe Casserly.

I think it would probably be smart for the Redskins to never draft an o lineman from Penn State ever again.

Oh yeah the best part was that we traded up to get the guy.
I just checked and it was Casserly. If you look at Casserly's draft record for the Skins you will cry it's an utter trainwreck.

Sadly, if we stopped drafting from a school every time we got a bust like Andre Johnson, we'd have almost no one left to draft from outside of Millsaps College.
:laughing2 Has anyone checked to see if there are any prospects from Millsaps?

Chad Rinehart is Andre Johnson reincarnated (Just not drafted quite as high).

Me too...we took Rinehart way before others teams would have as he was set to go in the 5th or 6th rd. If he really busts there should be a major overhaul to the FO cuz a totally wasted 3rd pick is inexcusable.
...btw I see the Rinehart situation as a reason for actually trying to trade up from our later rd picks (and keeping our 13 overall). Vinny drafts projects mostly beyond round 2, and those projects usually don't become anything.

In Vinny's defense (a position I rarely take), I think this is true for most teams. Put differently, if you are not a project in some way, you almost always go in the first two rounds. And projects often fail.

I know you're right but Rinehart was slated as a 5th or 6th round project until Vinny went full retard and decided to use our 3rd round pick. We could have got a center to groom or a legit DE project...something worth writing home about eh.
