Who is Washington's worst draft pick since 2006?
The Washington Football Team has had some bad draft selections over the last 15 years. One move that stands out is when Washington sent three first-round picks and a second-round selection to the St. Louis Rams for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. The Football Team would select Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. At first, it appeared to be a home run for Washington as Griffin led the Football Team to the playoffs and was named 2012 NFL offensive rookie of the year. However, that one magical year proved to be the highlight of Griffins four seasons in Washington. While Griffins selection hurt Washington, he isnt Washingtons worst draft pick since 2006, according to Pro Football Focus. That distinction belongs to another quarterback, Dwayne Haskins. A first-round pick out of Ohio State in 2019, Haskins didnt even finish his second year with Washington as he was released in Dec. 2020 with one game remaining in the regular season. Yet another first-round bust at the quarterback position who wont be forgotten anytime soon. Haskins was benched for Kyle Allen then released in only his second season, having recorded more turnover-worthy plays (15) than big-time throws (14). While Haskins struggled on the field for the WFT, it was his decisions off the field and apparent lack of dedication that doomed him. Haskins broke COVID-19 protocols on two occasions last season. Washington received a total of 16 games played, 13 of which were starts  from Haskins, with 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. So, while Haskins didnt cost Washington additional draft capital as the Griffin deal did, his play on the field was worse, at times not looking like an NFL quarterback. Ryan Fitzpatrick is under center for the Football Team in 2021, but theyll be back in the market for a young passer in 2022  a direct result of Haskins struggles.
