During Dan Snyder’s first eight drafts as Washington’s owner (not counting 2001 when coach Marty Schottenheimer was in control), the Redskins didn’t fare as well as their NFC East rivals: the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles. Washington had the fewest picks (52) and starting seasons (43). The Eagles had the most picks (68) and second-most starting seasons (60). The Cowboys were at 59 and 55, the Giants at 58 and 52.
