1982 No first-round draft pick
1983 28 Darrell Green CB Texas A&I
1984 No first-round draft pick
1985 No first-round draft pick
1986 No first-round draft pick
1987 No first-round draft pick
1988 No first-round draft pick
1989 No first-round draft pick
1990 No first-round draft pick
1991 17 Bobby Wilson DT Michigan State
1992 4 Desmond Howard WR Michigan
If you look at the above with the way Allen and Shanny have drafted in terms of both adding picks during the draft and getting guys that can contribute - I think we will be fine without the two 1st rounders we gave up

Wow. That's surprising.
There was that whole Plan B free agency thing that Beatherd and the Skins excelled at though; it was a way to build depth and character, and with Gibbs at the helm that was all the team really needed.
