competition create guys players taken tight veteran
We could have taken a tight end earlier. We want to create competition at that position. There will be some veteran players flushed out, with all the guys who were drafted, and we will look at those.
players value valued willing
To get valued players you have to be willing to give value.
bit jump patient players sure until
Until we know for sure all that's out there, we're just not going to jump the gun, and we have to be a little bit more patient and make sure we know what players are out there.

Probably the most impressive guy who I've interviewed.

job period safeguard
We like what we have, but we've got to see it over a period of time. We haven't been able to do that. So my job is to safeguard the position.
best everybody guy looks mind mindful obvious though
Even though there's a guy out there that looks obvious to everybody here, it's not necessarily in his mind his best option. We have to be mindful of that, as well.
behind everybody featured money role saw stood
Everybody else saw him as a role back. But we saw him as a featured back and our money stood behind that assessment.
