Uhh ..... most 7th rounder dont even make the team. Hes been here 3 years. How can you even judge Gibbs picks just 2 years after he took over. Also it not easy even to get good players at the top of the draft. Plus Gibbs brings in rookies the right way.... slowly and doesn't expect them to be a quick fix....cause he remembers Desmond Howard lol.

Well most of them aren't on our roster, or sitting the bench or practice squad somewhere's else.

I remember Desmond to, that's another reason I worry about Gibbs ability to judge talent. lol

Your anaylsis proves what some on this site dont seem to understand, the draft is an inexact science. A team needs to have as many draft picks as possible in order to minimize the 'risk' of this unproven talent and maximize the chance of getting a future star. Unfortunately (I've said this a million time before on this site) the skins have a coach and front office that likes to give away their draft picks so the organization never realizes the full potential of the draft and is constantly stuck plugging holes with high priced free agents. This is not how successful teams are run.

dude, something else we agree on. I have said it for a long time now, this organization will not win consistantly if they do not draft well. We do not have the right people in place to make personel decisions. I mean people that can go out and find that diamond in the rough. I think our scouting group goes to USC games and scouts Reggie Bush! that is stupid, or Texan to scout Vince Young. These things are rediculous. They need to be able to go out and find these guys in 4th to 7th rounds, or undrafted players that have football talent. Patriots do it every year, Philly the good organizations do it year in and year out. They plug holes with draft picks.

You are Both wrong! I remember back about The Howard pick. Gibbs didn't want him. The facts are when Desmond was timed after he was picked Gibbs said "is that all he has"? That pick was all the FO!!! As for Gibbs picking talent we will see!!! That first round pick we gave up on top of others for Campbell will come due in april!!!
