I think at this point, gibbs and his personnel staff should put more focus on the draft with the few choices that they have (if they haven't already). They seem to haven't been successful at rounds 4 and later. Part of that is not having many picks because I believe the success of draft picks at any round is more about chance than anything else - the more picks that you have, the better chances of success, statistically (sp?) and logically (sp?) thinking.

The draft-related results that have encouraged me about gibbs and co. are the high success rate of rounds 1 - 3 with the few they've had. If they can be consistent and translate some of that success of the earlier rounds to the later rounds, they would be the best personnel staff in the nfl in my opinion. I believe that this could be done by spending (a lot) more time and energy of evaluating draft talent - it's easier to evaluate talent in the early rounds - less players to evaluate and more control with the draft picks. This is easier said than done I know, but I believe this is part of the reason Saunders is on board now - to free up Gibbs to be able to do this stuff.
