We practically have given our draft away the last few years from mostly poor decisions.

Sure there are some fa busts around the league, but other teams busts aren't the highest paid FA's on the market. At least i can't think of any.

How about Darren Howard and Jevon Kearse? The Eagles fans are about to lynch Kearse, Bang cartoons made a skit about Kearse being a bust, and Howard can't crack the starting lineup. Or how about the 49ers free agent spending spree? How is that working out?

If you create a list of all Redskins free agents since 2001 who got $5M+ in bonus money, our track record is suprisingly good. As for draft picks, the results have been mixed and we've given too many away. But, I don't think the media's perception (i.e., conventional wisdom) of the Redskins front office is exactly 20/20. In discussing the Redskins moves they still talk about 2000. We made some boneheaded moves in 2000, but that was 7 years ago. I had a b----h of a girlfriend 7 years ago, but I've let that go. Apparently, the media has some sort of love/hate affair with us.....they just can't let stuff go.
