Gibb's did a nice job in last year's draft as far as evaluation of talent on the college level, I can even live with giving up a second rd. pick for Portis even though I was against it, the Brunell situation is the 1 thing that is killing him right now, I am also watching how he's handled thing's this year, and it seem's to me he's learned a lesson from that deal as well, he's starting to realize that if your going to shell out big buck's for a player you better make sure you can't replace him reasonably for a much lower salary, I defiently believe that is what happened with Smoot, we all know he wanted Pierce but I still believe that they feel they can replace him at a minimum cost, if your going to pay out the big buck's to certain player's than you better find bargain's at other position's.
