again based board cardboard create depth draft drafting fill filled name next options pick piece players putting soon spot start taking truly year
You can?t create players. You have to draft the board based on what your options are. As soon as you start taking players truly based on need, if they can?t fill that need, then you have to come back the next year or the next pick and you?re drafting again for the same spot and you haven?t filled anything other than putting a name on a piece of cardboard and putting it up on the depth chart.

certainly couple draft extra far full gives move picks third top
This year, we have an extra third and an extra fourth. Having those extra mid-round picks in a full draft certainly gives you flexibility to move up, but there's only so far you can go in the first round. From 21st, you're not going to be able to get into the top 10, but you could move up a couple of spots.
amount bring familiar game guy hard picked short street system time tough worked
For the short amount of time he was here, he worked hard and picked up things pretty well, assignments and all that. It's tough to bring a guy in here off the street who's not familiar with your system and then put him in the game for a significant amount of plays. To his credit, I thought he was competitive.

against bay best bit decisions evaluation final friday game giants green players quite sure win
I'm sure that we'll look at some of the players that didn't play as much in the Green Bay game (last Friday night's 27-3 win at Lambeau Field) a little bit more against the Giants and try to get the best evaluation that we can as we make our final decisions at the end of the week. I'm sure that the players who didn't play as much against Green Bay will play more than the ones who did play quite a bit against Green Bay. Let's put it that way.

I'm sure our younger players will play a bit more than they did in the Green Bay game,
anybody beats somebody until
I mean, they're 7-0, ... They're undefeated. Until somebody beats them, I don't see how you can say anybody is any better than them.

I knew we could play better than we did early in the season. It's a credit to the players that they've turned things around.
