If you read yesterday's first-round version, then you already know the drill. Here's a quick primer for those that didn't.
Below you will find a list of every Redskins' second and third-round pick, every 38th and 69th overall pick and all of the instances in which the 38th and 69th selections were traded in the last 20 years. Each player's number of years as his team's primary starter, number of Pro Bowls and number of All Pro selections are listed.
Here are the averages for all of the Redskins' second-round picks dating back to the first draft in 1936.
2nd Round Averages | Starter Years | Pro Bowls | All Pros | Career AV |
All Players Average | 2.7 |
0.4 | 0.1 |
17.7 |
The numbers and percentages in the table below reflect the number of players that achieved these accolades and not the total number produced by the entire population of Redskins round-one picks.
2nd Round Percentages | 4-Year Starters | Pro Bowlers | All Pros | Hall of Famers |
Group Total | 18 | 9 | 1 | 1 |
All Players % | 34.6% | 17.3% | 1.9% | 1.9% |
The Redskins don't really have a great track record in the second round of the draft. The only All Pro and Hall of Famer that the team ever acquired with their 52 all-time second-round selections was defensive back Paul Krause (1964). Washington foolishly parted ways with Krause after just four seasons.
The 38th overall pick also hasn't been very kind to the Redskins either, despite the fact that they always seem to end up with it.
Of the draft's 79 selections made with the number 38 pick, the Redskins have made ten of them (13%). No other team has used this pick more than Washington has. The only one that the Redskins have used more frequently themselves is the 148th overall selection, which they've drafted players with 11 times.
Unfortunately, they' have not had much success at 38, despite numerous chances to get it right. Their picks of Dick Todd (1939) and Tom Roussel (1968) are the only picks that can be considered relatively quality selections at number 38 overall.
38th Pick Averages | Starter Years | Pro Bowls | All Pros | Career AV |
All Players Average | 2.6 | 0.5 | 0.2 | 22.7 |
38th Pick Percentages | 4-Year Starters | Pro Bowlers | All Pros | Hall of Famers |
All Player Totals | 27 | 15 | 6 | 1 |
All Players % | 34.2% | 19.0% | 7.6% | 1.3% |
Yesterday, we saw that the four-year starter and Pro Bowl percentages for the number five overall pick were about 55% and 45% respectively. It should come as no surprise that the hit rate drops considerably when we look at the results over 30 picks later into the draft.
Mike Singletary was the only Hall of Famer to ever be selected with the number 38 overall pick in the draft.
The 3rd Round, the #69 Pick and the King of the Hogs
Look at the number 69 selection in the 1981 draft and you will see how one of the greatest Redskins of all-time was acquired. In what was likely the best draft in Redskins' history, Bobby Beathard selected future Hall of Famer and the leader of Hogs, Russ Grimm.
3rd Round Averages | Starter Years | Pro Bowls | All Pros | Career AV |
All Players Average | 1.9 | 0.4 | 0.1 | 15.9 |
3rd Round Percentages | 4-Year Starters | Pro Bowlers | All Pros | Hall of Famers |
Group Total | 16 | 10 | 4 | 1 |
All Players % | 26.2% | 16.4% | 6.6% | 1.6% |
The Redskins arguably have had more success in the third round than in the second, at least relative to expectations. They selected three more All Pros in the third round, only one less Pro Bowler and they actually held onto the Hall of Famer that they drafted in this round.
However, it should be noted that the team has had nine more picks in the third round than in the second (61 vs. 52 selections).
Coincidentally, the 69th pick is the one that the team used to select Grimm with. If only they could be so lucky again this year.
The team's other four picks at 69 didn't fare nearly as well however. Running Back Skip Hicks was the best of the four, and he only had a modest career as a backup.
69th Pick Averages | Start Years | Pro Bowls | All Pros | Career AV |
All Players Average | 1.7 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 13.1 |
69th Pick Percentages | 4-Year Starters | Pro Bowlers | All Pros | Hall of Famers |
All Player Totals | 12 | 8 | 4 | 3 |
All Players % | 15.2% | 10.1% | 5.1% | 3.8% |

4/17/1997 | New Orleans Saints | 1997 5th round pick (132nd overall, Jamel Williams) | Washington Redskins | Heath Shuler |
1998 3rd round pick (69th overall, Skip Hicks) |
The last time the Redskins possessed the 69th overall selection was in 2012, when they traded down with the Bills and used their newly acquired picks to select Josh LeRibeus and Jordan Bernstine. The Bills ended up with receiver T.J. Graham. So far, it appears that Buffalo may have gotten the slightly better end of that deal.
Finally, we see where the Redskins attempted to salvage whatever perceived value still remained for the former number three overall pick Heath Shuler by trading him to the Saints. Shuler's career only lasted ten more games, so it was definitely a decent deal for Washington.
