Than it came to the Redskins - Steve hutchinson was right there for them - all the announcers were saying the Redskins lucked out and the annoucner came up and said the Washigton Redskins select Rod Gardner, wide reciever, Clemson. I throw my drink down in disgust saying how could the Redskins pass on the best guard available when they needed one so bad. We all know that Steve Hutchinson is an all pro guard who would have been a perfect new hog - but no the Skins had to go wide receiver and get one from my Gamecocks arch rival of all places - double whammy. I remember watching Gardner in a lot of games and he was infamous for pushing off on defenders to get open so I was so unimpressed with this pick - especially when Steve Hutchinson feel into our laps if our FO had only had a brain back than.

I'm not defending it. I didn't like 50/50. But Marty's one year could not be half as bad as Cerrato's decade or more.
