Hmmm, you are making a good point about looking at the past drafts.

the only problem is that each year teams draft players that the coaching staff thinks fits their systems, the redskins have drafted for several systems in the last 5 years. so thats were we run into problems talent wise, we dont have players that fit our system.

but regardless lets look at a few years.

1999 turner draft
1. Champ Bailey, CB, Georgia **great pick- too bad things didnt work out
2. Jon Jansen, T, Michigan **great pick
4. Nate Stimson, LB, Georgia Tech **who?
5. Derek Smith, OL, Virginia Tech *pretty solid pick considering the round, we got alot of playing time out of him.
6. Jeff Hall, K, Tennessee
7. Tim Alexander, WR, Oregon St.

2001 schottenheimer draft
1. Rod Gardner, WR, Clemson **decent rookie year, good second year. probably a good pick if schottenheimer would've stayed.
2. Fred Smoot, CB, Mississippi St. ** great pick too bad he wasnt a career redskin
4. Sage Rosenfels, QB, Iowa St. ** stil in the league somewhere
5. Darnerien McCants, WR, Delaware St. ** at one point looked like a very good player
6. Mario Monds, DT, Cincinnati **not much out of him.

2002 spurrier draft
1. Patrick Ramsey, QB, Tulane ** IMHO a good pick.
2. Ladell Betts, RB, Iowa ** a good pick, could start for several teams.
3. Rashad Bauman, CB, Oregon **decent corner with another team
3. Cliff Russell, WR, Utah *bust do to injuries
5. Andre Lott, S, Tennessee **great value from the 5th round
5. Robert Royal, TE, LSU **good value anytime a 5th rounder is a starter.
6. Reggie Coleman, T, Tennessee **nothing from him
7. Jeff Grau, LS, UCLA **nothing
7. Greg Scott, DE, Hampton **nothing.
7. Rock Cartwright, FB, Kansas St. **great value. started several games and plays his heart out.

schotty went for the big WR's gardner and mccants dumping the smaller faster guys like albert connell.

then spurrier goes for the small faster guys like jacobs, has trouble using gardner and mccants properly.

now a new system with new WRs.

the yearly coaching change has affected the draft continuity.
