It'll likely depend on how the rest of this draft goes. I've never believed that a guy who was content to sit in Belichick's shadow for so long has an ego in the sense that it was being portrayed. But ego has little to do with poor decisions.
The rest of this draft will probably let us know whether or not last year could at least in part be attributed to the guy not having his own personnel people in place and not really knowing as much about the players on the roster as he does today.
I found it interesting that Gretz mentioned today that Gibbs in Seattle was talking about how badly Bill Muir wanted Russell Okung. Guess he was overruled...
