18. Art Monk, 1980, Redskins

Between Monk and Marvin Harrison, we have two former Syracuse wide receivers going back-to-back, which is an oddity, especially since they were separated by 16 years. Monk was undoubtedly the best wide receiver in Redskins history, and arguably the best player of any position in franchise history.

Somehow, Monk was only selected to three Pro Bowls during his career. However, he made the 1980s All-Decade Team and was an important part of three Washington teams that won the Super Bowl, so it’s safe to say the Redskins got their money’s worth with this pick.
