Armstrong bad choice?

I have been a Redskin fan for many years and for some odd reason we have not had much success drafting wide receivers. The most successful WR we have drafted that I can remember was Art Monk ( Hall Of Famer ). We have drafted over the years at wr people like Desmond Howard ( Michigan) , Michael Westbrook ( Colorado) , Taylor Jacobs ( Florida), Rod Gardener (Clemson) Darnerian McCants, James Thrash (Missouri Southern), Albert Connel ( Texas AM). We have traded for such wr as L. Coles, and S. Moss. We have signed free agents wr Brandon LLoyd , ARE, Andre Reed, Keenan McCardell, Irving Fryer, Gary Clark, Henry Ellard, players at the end of their careers. I did not include Ricky Sanders , Virgil Seay , Charlie Brown, Charlie Taylor just to name a few more because that was so long ago.

Like I was saying we have not done well drafting wr such as more recent Malcom Kelly, Devon Thomas, Marko Mitchell. When will this curse end? So now we have fans looking to trade for another teams wr Vincent Jackson , I guess it maybe wiser to trade for VJ than to waste another pick on a WR.

Actually we drafted Keenan McCardell out of college. One of the rare good picks by Charlie Casserly.

You're correct though, our track record at drafting wideouts has been about as good as our track record for drafting quarterbacks.

I agree with you on wr's and qb's, but Casserly had a lot of great picks. Probably more with Houston than Skins (Mario Williams, Andre Johnson, Demarco Ryans, etc...) but when he drafted Champ Bailey and still got all of the Saints picks so they could get Ricky Williams he did an outstanding job.

Your right we had McCardell but we did not see his potential so we released him.
