add ahead begun best draft football gone interested nobody pick picks player players potential premier process shop team
The best thing for this football team was to use the first pick in this draft to add a premier player at another position. Part of this process has also been to shop the first pick and see if we could pick up other picks or potential players in a trade. Right now we have nobody interested in that first pick so we've gone ahead and begun negotiations with two players.
auction bit deal difference good players price teams value whether worth year
It's kind of an auction where you have to see what price you get and do it a little bit on feel whether you think the deal is worth it. Every year is different because of the difference in players and how good they are. I know that a lot of teams go by the value chart. We don't.

deal draft hope man needs team
I hope this young man realizes before the draft that he needs to run. Or I hope he's made a deal with a team that's going to take him in the first round.

confident deal decision defense needed offense pass rush sign worked
On Thursday, we made a decision to go with Mario, and we said that if we could get him, then let's sign him. We were confident we could have worked a deal with Bush, too, but we made the decision to go with defense over offense because our pass rush hasn't been what it needed to be.

You focus nothing on the media coverage of the ups and downs. You make your own evaluation. It's totally ignored.

There's no gloom and doom here. All of us have been through tough times before.
