We're all fooling ourselves if we think that Gibbs doesn't have final (and probably first) say in all of these trades of draft picks for players. I'm on record repeatedly saying that the Philly / New England approach of stock piling and building thru the draft first, then filling holes via free agency is the only way to LONG-TERM success. It provides a team with quality depth for far less than signing free agents left and right. We make Snyder a convenient target, but I believe Gibbs has caught the "instant gratification" bug from Snyder when it comes to feeding our lust for big FA signings. I was hoping that Gibbs would bring a more mature approach by building a winner patiently. Look at Lovey Smith and the Bears, another prime example of a team that had the patience to take their knocks while drafting/developing young talent.
