Darrell Green was a great player for the Washington Redskins and helped transform their defense during their Super Bowl runs of the 1980s and early 1990s. Green played 20 seasons and was a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But even he has a hard time topping Sammy Baugh when it comes to being the best Redskins draft pick ever.
Why Baugh is best draft pick in Redskins history: Obviously the NFL was much different in 1937 than it is now, but Baugh was a dominant force for many seasons and became an early passing force. When he was drafted, the NFL was much more about the run than the forward pass.
