It's usually pretty easy to diagnose the crappy prospects from the good prospects pre draft. It's MUCH harder to seperate the great players from the good players.
I don't give teams a free pass for reaching for crappy players. The Redskins have too good of a college personnel department to do that. The teams that draft busts are the same teams every year.
Now we can give the Saints a pass for taking Reggie Bush, who is looking to be a good offensive weapon, not one who would revolutionize the game. But I can't write the Lions a pass for taking players in 2002, 2003, and 2005 with college production that did not match up with their pre draft reputation. That was easy, and they f'ed it up.
The Redskins have a college personnel department which doesn't do that.
