Redskins Secondary: Four First Round Picks!

I believe it was when we had Bruce Smith, Marco Coleman, Big Daddy and Stubby. I think Lang was still on the roster too making 5 first round d-lineman.


Technically in 2001 didnt we have four number 1 overall picks?

Bruce Smith
Kijanna Carter
Dan Wilkinson
Jeff George

Did we sign Courtney Brown too? cant remember, but definitly had four of the first overall picks of the last 15 years and still sucked...this kind of history stat doesnt really mean anything.

Yeah I thought we were talking about first rounders at one position though.

We didn't have Brown.

Thanks for breaking down the picks, it's good to see where each player was drafted. But, Taylor was drafted 5th overall, Rogers was drafted 9th overall, and Landry was drafted 6th overall.

Sheriff Got Me - I dorked that all up. I misread the draft position when I looked it up. I thought it looked wierd... Good catch Sheriff. Please let me out on bail...

Goes to show you pretty much anything after the 2nd round is almost cannon fodder. Camp opens up rough for all of these low rounders we picked up. Bums won't be on the 53 man roster come September. All we drafted after Landry was practice squad bodies.

You never know, I think we'll have a couple of keepers this year besides Landry.

We've actually had pretty good success since Gibbs' arrival in the lower rounds.

Let's hope that Sartz & Blades turn out like Golston & Montgomery, 6th & 5th rnd. picks respecitively. I disagree w/your post 2nd round comment. There's always big talent in the 3rd-5th, and then a few gems that come out of the 6-7th.
today's skins insider in the post mentions that GW was getting after Sartz & Blades. Hopefully both of these kids will respond to his berating rather than sulking.

A number of people, including Peter King, applauded the Skins as getting these two as steals in such late rounds. In 2 years we might need em to start.

right now Springs is the only dback we have that can cover anyone. this is a make or break season for Rogers. and hopefully Smoot will rebound from a horrible -06/07 season

Yeah, but those guys were all at the ends of their careers. Our secondary is still very young and not washed up. It's tough to compare the two...different circumstances.
