Washington Redskins: A brief first-round draft history

Yep, it’s that time of year again. Draft day each year brings hope to franchises and fans alike; it serves annually as a reminder that the future is now and the season is underway. For every team there’s much to look forward to. The best NFL talent is often procured throughout the entirety of the draft (see all-time greats Jerry Rice, Tom Brady, and Brett Favre), and the Washington Redskins have Hall of Fame notables picked up outside the first round including Russ Grimm and Chris Hanburger.

Bottom line

There’s many diamonds in the rough every year.
