I was under the impression that Gibbs conceeded all defensive acquisitions to Williams. If I remember correctly Gibbs wanted KWII but Williams pleaded for Taylor. Of all of those people you mentioned Gibbs got the offensive guys.
Drafted the nations leading TE in yards (Not a huge reach), Got Clinton Portis (A Denver stud who had a down year, by his standards, in Gibbs system), and Mark Brunell, an obvious miss.
I don't think it's fair to call him a good talent evaluator in the least if it's true that Williams picks his defensive guys. Cooley was a great TE in college and Portis was a proven pro. We'll see about the other pickups from this year.
