ball colleges effects less maybe position running says seeing throwing truth
Maybe what it all says is that with colleges throwing the ball so much, the running back position has become less important. There's some truth to that, and maybe we're seeing the effects of it in the draft.
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.
bit blocking colleges game gone helped impact late looked people position running skill tight today using
I think (Tony) Gonzalez was the first tight end as of late where people look at him a little bit differently. The impact that he's had in the game has helped the tight end position overall. They're looked at as a skill position. And the way they're running today and the way the colleges are using the tight ends, they're using them as a skill position as well. What's gone away from the tight end position is the blocking. Blocking isn't as important with the tight end.
evaluate obviously offense receiver running team unique value
That's a lot of money, but that's a unique offense. A receiver in that offense is obviously of more value than, maybe, a running back is. That's what each team has to do. They have to evaluate the positions.
jerry looking position
With Jerry potentially not being with us, we'll be looking at that position very hard.
build contingent dealt football good hand obviously team
We're going in with the hand we dealt ourselves. We said that going in and we're comfortable with it. We feel good about our football team. If we're contingent on just one player, then obviously we didn't build this team to win.
couple tampa
It would be something you'd want to think about. We did it in Tampa a couple times. It would be something we'd entertain.
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.
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.
certainly fits quality rewards time whether wonder worth
At the end of the day when you're making any decision, you wonder whether the rewards are worth the risk. And in this case, they certainly were. We got a quality quarterback that really fits into what we do offensively and makes us better. And that's our job. We feel good. Now time will tell.
best bit everybody latitude player says stay true
We have a little bit more latitude this year. We want to stay with the best player available. Everybody says it, but we really want to stay true to that.
