No. 6 — 2011 Draft Class
Best Picks: Ryan Kerrigan (16), Jarvis Jenkins (41), Leonard Hankerson (79), Roy Helu (105)
Worst Picks: DeJon Gomes (146), Evan Royster (177), Brandyn Thompson (213)
Analysis: There’s a lot to like about this draft class, but there’s also a lot of mediocrity as well. In total, the Redskins had a total of 12 picks in this draft, but they only really hit on three or four of them; that’s why it ranks in the bottom five for me. Still, Kerrigan is one of the best picks Washington made during this decade, which boosts it up the ranks. Jenkins, Hankerson, and Helu were also solid contributors for several years.
Still, at the bottom, there’s not much to love. If you were to take away those top four picks, the final eight guys added to the roster in this draft played a total of 37 games in Washington. That’s not going to get the job done.
