In the run-up to the 2021 NFL draft, let’s take a look at the Washington Football Team has fared over the past twenty years by picking a best, worst, and best value picks from each draft.

2001 NFL Draft (Marty Schottenheimer)

This was Marty Schottenheimer’s one year in charge and the team only had five total picks.

  • BEST: Fred Smoot (2)
  • WORST: Rod Gardner (1)
  • VALUE: None

Smoot had a good career. Gardner did not, especially when you consider that Santana Moss was chosen one pick later.
