I agree with all comments about not overhauling the entire team. Here are a few ideas for improving the team:

1. Unless Samuels accepts a major pay cut, trade him for a decent veteran qb. We don't need someone with an incredible arm or scrambling ability. Just a smart player with good accuracy and leadership skills. If Gibbs could turn Mark Rypien into a Super Bowl MVP and a Pro Bowler, he can certainly do it with a decent quarterback.

2. Use Gardner as part of the Samuels trade; we already have Thrash, McCants, and Jacobs. We have more than enough depth at that position, especially for a Gibbs offense.

3. Draft an offensive lineman or receiver in the first round (it depends on which position has the most talented player available). Use the second round to pick up the next position. Take a pash rushing de in the third round, someone we can send in on third and long. Use the final rounds to add depth at necessary positions.
