BUT ... he is a terrible gambler. Terrible! The fact that he has never drafted a bonafide, franchise, all-pro caliber center, is a cardinal sin of being a GM. Scott Wells? 7th round pick and adequate, at best. Getting Jeff Saturday at 37 years old? A gamble and ... he lost. ED-S? Well ... it's too early for a verdict, but he clearly is a gamble. That's the difference between TT and Ron Wolf. Wolf drafted some clunkers in the 1st round, but he covered his bets in later rounds AND he used free agency, when the price was right and it helped the team. Robert Brooks out for the year in mid-'96. Wolf gets Andre Rison. TT would never do this. It wouldn't hurt to think outside the box once in a while, no?</p></blockquote><p></p>
