agency drafted felt free good gotten players wallace
I thought Day would have gotten drafted and Wallace could have gotten drafted, so we felt in free agency those were probably as good of players as you could get.
both drafted gotten happy looked situation wallace
I thought Day would have gotten drafted and Wallace could have been drafted. They looked at our situation and they jumped on it, so we were real happy to get both of them signed.
draft family foundation happy strong terms
He's got a strong foundation in terms of his family and very grounded, and we're very happy to have him as our No. 1 draft pick.
antithesis certain drafted mike needed playing third year
When we drafted Mike we were in a different scheme. We were the antithesis of what we are now. Now is that to exonerate him not playing because of the scheme? No. Part of it, he needed to get better at certain things, but he didn't. He's got the tools. We got into the third year and we didn't see a big advance.
draft history learning partly position rookie
We feel that the history of (Benson's) position as a rookie bodes well (for learning fast), and that was partly why we did what we did on draft day, too.
certain draft investment irrelevant needed pick player sure terms time
We wanted to make sure any time we draft a player we've made an investment in him and we're going to play the investment out. We just needed to see certain things in terms of his progression, irrelevant of him being a first-round pick or a seventh-round pick.
both few guys happy looked somehow
There are always a few guys that you think are going to get drafted, and somehow they don't. They looked at our situation, and they jumped on it. We were real happy to get both of them signed.
good
We do have a plan. But we have a good nucleus, so we're going to be very selective.
corner seem
We would like to get another corner in here. It doesn't seem like you can have too many corners.
pressure putting
We're not putting any pressure on him to do what LaDainian Tomlinson did. We're going to wean him into the offense.
couple eight guys picks prepared seven work
We had a couple guys in mind. Unfortunately it didn't work out. One went about seven or eight picks before we were prepared to take him.
best competition create hard
We want to create the best competition we can, really, at every position, but we're going to look hard at the punter this year.
players value valued willing
To get valued players you have to be willing to give value.
lucky maybe
With Ruben, that was an aberration. Maybe we got a little lucky there.
