The entire 1992 and 1993 draft classes

(Yes, the whole lot of 21 players.) Let's review the highlights of Washington's '92-'93 drafts: Frank Wychek (sixth round, '93). What a solid tight end. He caught 505 passes, except 482 of them were with the Oilers/Titans. OK, how about Reggie Brooks (2nd round, 1993)? He ran for 1,063 yards as a rookie. And then proceeded to run for 663 yards the the rest of his career. Lastly, Tom Carter. OK, no sarcasm here, as the former Notre Dame teammate of Brooks' had a nice four-year run as a complement to Darrell Green at corner. He would get beat on occasion, but made up for it with 18 picks during that span. Still, it should be noted that the Redskins chose not to match the Bears offer sheet in 1997 when Carter was a restricted free agent, partially because he was the second most-thrown-at corner in the league. So the team didn't really get enough return on its first-round investment. And those are the "highlights" of the 1992 and 1993 drafts. Really, the Redskins got almost no return on two entire draft classes. This was a team that had only one losing season in Joe Gibbs' 12-year tenure as coach. Washington had won the Super Bowl following the 1982, 1987, and 1991 seasons, and with a little help from the '92 and '93 draft classes, might have given those early '90s Cowboys some trouble in the NFC East. Forget it. Of the 21 draft picks, NONE played more than four seasons in Washington. In fact, six never played a snap in the NFL. The combined number of years played in a Redskins uniform by the guys selected in the 1992 and 1993 drafts? 33. Total. You have to feel for the fans, who had to endure campaigns of 4-12, 3-13, and 6-10 in the mid-90s.
