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.

Daseal, whether you're giving the credit to Gibbs or Williams is splitting hairs. No matter which one of them get's the credit, the bottom line is together they have made good player-personnel decisions, and a GM isn't needed to help out.
Would you want a GM making decisions on defensive players after the record Gregg Williams posted last year? I'd take Gregg Williams over Charley Casserly any day when it comes to evaluating who to put in a Gregg Williams defense.
If you get Charley to help with just offense, fine, that makes sense to me, but only because Casserly is good. I wouldn't go adding just any old GM to the mix.
