Redskins draft history has Hall of Famers, big-time busts
BEST FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: Darrell Green. Washington celebrated its first Super Bowl victory by taking a building block for its next two with the final first-round pick in 1983. Selected immediately after Miami got Dan Marino, Green started right away and was a mainstay in the Redskins secondary for almost two decades. He was an All-Pro on the 1991 championship team and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008. Sammy Baugh (sixth overall in 1937), Charley Taylor (third in 1964), Art Monk (18th in 1980) and Champ Bailey (seventh in 1999) also became Hall of Famers.
