If we're willing to bash Snyderato, then Gibbs deserves his share too. Letting Ryan Clark walk for peanuts while shelling out record money for Archuletta might have been the worst moves under Gibbs, but trading two 3's and two 4's for B. Lloyd and Duckett are almost as egregious since those 4 picks could have been used to address O-line depth.

Yeah, I said this somewhere else, but with Gibbs, it was 'win right now' and to hell with the future. It's a big role of the dice, because if you're wrong, and the high-priced, cap-eating free agents that are often paid for with draft picks don't get you a championship, your team will be set even further back.
