Good research and info. I know we've heard a LOT over the past week about the FO "not addressing the OL". Actually for FO did address the OL, however it was through FA and resignings, not the draft (the only caveat on this post at this point is that Dock isn't performing up to speed).

Obviously we're in a tough situation now because the health of the 3 guys the FO expected to be the core of our OL for another couple of years succumbed to injuries. When these guys were re-signed they had all been pretty durable throughout their careers.

While I agree we need a GM and Vinny needs to move into the background, any moves prior to the 2008 off-season can't be pinned on Vinny. From '03-'07 Gibbs needs to shoulder the blame as he held the final say-so (he got real bad personnel advice from GW and Saunders).
