Disappointed with Gardner

I wish we had come away with Moss that day. I remember thinking why the heck would you pass up Moss for Rod Gardner that day. I suppose the allure of Gardner's size was appealing; but at some point you just need to take the guy who gets it done. I'm glad Gibbs has the team on the right track when it comes to drafts now.

Funny you mention that because as I recall Dan Snyder was very high on Moss and if it was up to him we'd probably have him right now.

Instead Marty had the power in that draft and made the Rod Gardner selection, opting for the bigger and more physical target.
