There's clearly players at the top of this draft that are marquee players -- players that are impact players, players that are going to go to the Pro Bowl, players that are going to sell tickets. We're going to get offers for this pick.
areas evaluate five four mean number process ways weight
The number really doesn't mean anything to us because we go through a process of four or five other ways to evaluate it. The number's insignificant to us in the end. It's the other areas that we put more weight on.
areas best contribute free good hard job pick player players
We're going to take the best player available. We have enough needs. We did a good job I thought in free agency. But we still have areas where we can use depth. It won't be hard for players that we pick to come in and contribute this year.

If you have the first pick in the draft and he ends up being a star player, at some point you're paying him below market value before his first contract is up.

If you're a team, how do you take a running back that doesn't run a 40-yard dash? At some point you gotta find out how fast somebody is, so I hope this young man realizes before the draft he needs to run or I hope he has made a deal with a team that's gonna take him in the first round.
clear clearly coach draft gary good offense personnel picture scouts thorough tremendous work worked
Gary was tremendous to work with. His preparation for the draft was the most thorough of any coach I've worked with. Gary had a good feel for personnel on offense and defense. He communicated clearly what he wanted at each position. The scouts had a clear picture of what he wanted, and don't underestimate how important that is going into a draft.

We didn't feel it was appropriate for him to be playing for the league minimum. This shows that if a player comes in and performs better than expected, we're willing to tear up the contract and pay him what he's worth. This puts him up there with the good starting running backs in the league.

We asked him and his attorney the different allegations and both of the denied them. Both of them said that Reggie didn't do anything wrong so we obviously took him at his word which is what we should do. But none of that had anything to do with that. We told them this was strictly a football decision. We wanted to get a defensive end.

We arrived at this decision a short time back that these are the two players that we would pick from to make our first round pick.

The player is one of the better receivers in the league. He got market. Obviously, everyone knows the issues with the guy, but if he goes out and plays on the field and shows up every day, he is one of the top receivers in football.
