Re-grading the Washington Redskins 2012 NFL Draft

As we continue looking at the Washington Redskins drafts from 2010 to 2019, the first two years were not encouraging as they struggled to last place finishes in the NFC East. Rumors began to swirl that centered on trying to land one of the perceived franchise quarterbacks, but that would certainly require a trade. Andrew Luck of Stanford and Robert Griffin of Baylor were generally considered to be the best quarterback prospects in many years.

The Redskins were slated to pick sixth overall in the first round, and that would place them outside of the opportunity to draft Luck or Griffin.
