How many are or will be busts you'll see a high percentage of players that didn't turn out to be what you plan that's why having more pics gives you a better chance 2 succed ( also selecting good players but thats another topic).
I agree Joe isn't afraid of innovating and yo usee it with the size and type of receivers his bringing this year but what his doing i nthe draft isn't innovating and has written dissaster all over the place we can talk about it in 4 years when gibbs is no longer in the team.

Gibbs is defining his own style of personnel decisions. Because of his style, nfl experts cannot evaluate the redskins draft on its own anymore, they must evaluate the entire offseason as a whole without separating any part of it (draft, free agency, trades, cuts, salary cap based decisions, coaching staff additions/changes). All of these areas of personnel decision-making affects each other as a whole. He is an innovator in these decisions, this approach, and (don't forget) the role and responsibilities he has set for himself as head coach and team president.
I don't want to talk about how he is doing when he is gone, that doesn't make any sense to me; let's discuss his ability and performance now. How he has improved the team and created stability with an openness to positive change. I will not forget the past decade or so without gibbs, and to me this is the best position the redskins have been in, in years. And the organization is still moving upward. To me, there is nothing to support that the draft for the redskins has disaster "written all over" it; and it seems to be just wishful thinking (and hating). Redskins last year: 10-6, playoff birth, won 6 games in a row (including playoff win)... and we have upgraded the team (especially in positions of need). I don't think that's a recipe for disaster.
