So, each and every person who was involved in the Skins' draft that year who pushed for Gardner ought to be BANNED from the scouting and drafting meetings for a decade. And that should include Danny Boy and Vinnie Boombatz if either of them even said "Boo" on the subject!

I thought Marty was the sole guy making the calls that year? Could be wrong though.

"Hey guys...here's a good idea! Let's draft a tall, slow possession WR with questionable hands in the first round. We'll be on our way then!"

You are correct Gardner was Martys guy, and yes Snyder wanted Moss.

Although I saw an interview with Cerratto because he was doing commentary for the draft after we fired him, and his pick for the Skins before the draft started was Gardner, he felt Gardner was the best fit for us, and said thats who he would pick if he was still our GM, so we can include Vinnie in that pick as far as talent evaluation goes.
