He easily would have been somebody else's mistake that year. He was a projected first round pick, the Skins moved up to grab him, so what? Are we just going to hang this on Gibbs for the rest of his life? Please, get over it already. That one mistake doesn't mean the man can't evaluate talent. Even top picks are a crapshoot at times. Look at Taylor, they did all the homework they could on him, and he still ends up being a pain in the ass and got himself into legal troubles. Stuff like that happens. The most sure thing can end up a bust and it happens to every team, every GM and every coach if you're around long enough.

Well we know it keep's happening to gibbs.
Byner worked out much better than Riggs, Icky blew his knee out the next season but he was playing his games on turf as well, who knows if that happens if he's a skin, the problem was in the philosophy between the 2, Beathard had it right you build teams through the draft not by signing veteran estabished players, and that theory applies to today's NFL more drastically with the salary cap now instituded.
