PFW Blog: The more things change, the more they stay the same...Skins draft of '72

The more things change, the more they stay the same

So Mike Wilkening was reading the 1972 NFL draft story from the New York Times — ok, that's classic Wilkey, but don't ask me to explain why — and he came across this fine nugget in the final paragraph of the story by William Wallace (not Longshanks, who is rumored to be a distant relative of mine, I should add):

"Washington, which traded its choices for proven players in a 'now' program, will make its first choice today when the eighth round comes up."

I thought that was funny.
