That was my point with SirClintonPortis.
Beathard would find players from any source. There is no one good source
Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders Kelvin Bryant came from the USFL.
How about trade for Jim Lachey for Jay Schroeder?
Key players like FA or trades for Dave Butz, NFL MVP Mark Mosley, Earnest Byner, Gerald Riggs, Joe Washington, Jumpy Geathers, Danny Copeland, Brad Edwards, Tim zjohnson and Eric Williams just to name few. But the biggest surprise was Doug Williams superbowl MVP.
So 2/3 of our SB winning qb's were not drafted by Redskins (JTheisman and DWilliams)
2/3 of our SB winning Rb's were not drafted by Skins (Riggins and Byner/Riggs). The one that was drafted Timmy Smith? Wow!
2/3 of our famed dynamic receiving trio Monk, Clark and Sanders came from the USFL.
Of the "Original" 1982-83 starting Hogs only May and Grimm were drafted. Starke was left over of George Allen class of 1971.
That was a lot of good treading water.:cheeky-sm
