Who's The Best Draft Pick In The Gibbs 2.0 Era

[LaRon + Sean = Hell 4 U]

Of course we know that there is a lot of Gibbs bashing. But he has made some pretty good draft picks with the few he has had to form this team. He picked some good players but I have to go with the heart & soul of our defense Sean Taylor & we will see this Sunday how big of a loss he will be against Big D.

Yup, definitely Sean Taylor.. But not only him, we got Rocky too.. Even LaRon.. I think only one high draft that did not really work out like we wanted it to, and it's Rogers.. However he has been stable this yr until his injury.. So

The only reason I didn't pick LaRon & Rocky is b/c LaRon is a rookie hasn't done it year after year like Taylor. The same with Rocky this is his first year as a starter is doing great but Sean has years under his belt has a playmaker.

I'll give two - Taylor on defense and Campbell on offense. It scares me to think what Romo might do the the Skins secondary without Taylor taking away the deep ball.

Anybody that even remotely follows college football can make a good pick in the 1st round, what the Skins dont have is that core of 2nd, 3rd & 4th round pick that really make up the foundation and depth of a successful team.

So you could not just have picked someone and said why instead of finding a way to criticize the team?

Jury's still out a bit on him, but I'd keep my eye on Anthony Montgomery. He's having what I'd consider to be a quality, but not dominant, season on the D-Line. Basically, a solid DT, disruptive to the run game, gets to the passer every once in a while, keeps bodies off Fletcher.

Even if he gets no better and plays like this for the next 10 years, I think he's a $5 million per-year player. That's pretty huge out of a 6th round pick.

Campbell and Taylor are bigger contributors and probably will be, but considering draft value, I'd say keep an eye on Monty.

He just stole Kedric Golston job out the blue he has made a great contribute to this team too.

I agree that the Redskins need to build more depth through mid round picks. However, to say that "anybody that even remotely follows college football can make a good pick in the first round" is kind of overstating things, don't you think? How do you explain that every organization has 1st round busts? Do you think that no team has the slightest clue what college football is about? Come on now.

Blades looked like the real deal in the preseason at least.

There sure are a lot of first round busts around the league though

[SFREDSKIN]

He's made some solid picks, but the one the stands out most because he plays offense and produces #'s, COOLEY. I think the others mentioned are also great but when you play offense TD's are you count.

Cooley was a 3rd rounder and McIntosh was a 2nd rounder. They're both solid. Unfortunately, Gibbs traded a 3rd and a 4th for Lloyd, and the same for Duckett. I agree that you must hold onto those middle picks and draft well to provide solid, inexpensive depth.

As for 1st round picks, there are huge busts every year.

I guess a lot of NFL execs don't watch college ball, because your take certainly doesn't take into account first round busts which there are always a few per each draft.

[GTripp0012]

Captain Chaos-#47 was the best pick in the Gibbs era.

[MTK]

Cooley was a great pick, as was Taylor and Landry.

The jury is still out on Campbell just a bit, but he certainly looks like he is well on his way to being a quality pick.
