We had a different type of free agency back then. I think it was called something like Plan B free agency. I don't remember all the details about it. He drafted Mark Rypien, Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders to name a few. I think Art Monk arrived in 1980, so even though Gibbs didn't draft him, we know how much Art Monk was used. So yeah, he used drafts picks and his coaching staff helped develop them quite well.
