If Winslow is drafted could we be #1 in offense?

Gibbs won three super bowls with (what you folks call) "the critical position" manned by the likes of Clint Didier.
Clint Didier was drafted in the 12th and final round of the 1981 draft. There is no longer a 12th round in the draft. So he basically would be an undrafted free agent if drafted this Saturday.
I think you guys have overstated the importance of the H-back position in Gibbs system. He just needs to be smart, a great blocker and catch an occasional pass.

Excellent point. No one is doubting the ability of Winslow. As this offense has been configured, though, putting him in the H-back slot is like sending the Marines to get a cat out of a tree. O-V-E-R-K-I-L-L.

I agree. But on the other hand, Gibbs is the type of coach that will adapt his system to the players he has. Remember, he first came to the Skins with a vertical passing offense, but adjusted to the players he had. If he has someone like Winslow at the H-back spot, he will do whatever he can to use his talent.
That said, I still think Taylor is the better choice at #5...
