hard ray string
It's just too hard to find a quarterback. When you think you've got one, if there was any ray of hope, we were going to play the string out.
colleges generating tough
It's a tough position. It's a supply-and-demand business, and the colleges just aren't generating enough of them.
calling locker message pick player sending talent toughest type
It's really the toughest pick because this is the calling card. This is the message we're sending to our locker room, the type of player we want, not only in talent but in personality and character.
contract few line next offensive
Do I see us doing something with the offensive line on the first day? No, because I like what we have, and for the most part they're all under contract as well for the next few years.
guys
You try to get guys with versatility and that's real important.
great minimize personal
You can't minimize great quarterback play in great games, so he's probably my personal pick.
coached college filter football identify maybe objective played
There wasn't a filter that a lot of us who maybe coached or played college football identify with. Maybe we aren't as objective as we should be.
deals few heard normal teams
There will be a few teams that'll come out (fast). I know I've heard of some things going on right now. So there will be some pretty big deals that will come out like in normal years.
bulk ends few fit gone good obviously round run second sure third tight
There probably could be two tight ends that go in the first round for sure one we know that. You're going to see probably a pretty good run in the second and obviously the third round. I think the bulk of them will be gone by then. And there will be a few if they fit with what you want scheme-wise that you may like in the fourth.
absolutely dynamics fit good matter whether
There's absolutely no misunderstanding. We made that very clear. He understands the dynamics of it, and now it's just a matter of whether this is as good a fit for him as it is for us.
agreed common couple created found ground longer point quite
This did take a lot longer than what we had anticipated, ... We never really found that common ground. Usually, you find that common ground at some point the first couple weeks. We didn't really find anything that we agreed upon for quite some time. That created the long holdout.
guy impressive
Probably the most impressive guy who I've interviewed.
areas experience gained game improve needs rookie
Orton's got to take another step. He needs to take the experience that he gained as a rookie and take another step. There are areas of his game that he has to improve before I feel really comfortable with him.
agency colleges expansion facilitate football free generating offensive position teams
The one position I think ? not think, but know ? has been undervalued with free agency and expansion with 32 teams now is the offensive line. The colleges just aren't generating enough offensive linemen to facilitate all 32 football teams.
