The Washington pick was the first for Marty Schottenheimer, who took over the team after last season's disappointments. He was given complete control by owner Daniel Snyder, who spent a lot of time in the locker room in his first two years.

''Dan and I discussed before the draft a number of scenarios,'' Schottenheimer said. ''We talked about what Gardner gives us. He said, 'Do what you think is best.'''

Schottenheimer, short on receivers, obviously did. Snyder's choice was Moss, who went a pick later

Snyder reportedly preferred Moss over Gardner in the 2001 draft. But then-coach Marty Schottenheimer, who had the final say on personnel, selected Gardner with Washington's first-round pick.
