Chris Cooley would be mine Taylor was a no brainer pick for me he is a special kid you could see that in him in college. Cooley was pretty much a no name pick that has blossom into a pro bowl cailber player.

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

In order:

Cooley
Taylor
Landry (even though he's only played 9 games)
Golston/Montgomery
Macintosh

Overwhelmingly, the picks that have worked out have been on defense, with the offensive picks (O-linemen, backs) being largely useless. Not sure whom to credit and whom to blame for that.

If he continues to perform like he has I would agree with you, especially when you consider that the entire world howled like a stuck pig when Gibbs made this pick instead of trading down. It was a gutsy call and so far it seems to be paying off.

The only offensive players we drafted in the first 4 rounds of any Gibbs draft were:

1) Cooley
2) Campbell

Hard to blame anything for that except the lack of picks.

Can't believe I omitted Campbell from that list. I'd rank him in between Taylor and Landry.
