late middle rounds spend standpoint time
We are going to spend as much time on the middle and late rounds as we do on the first-round guys. From our standpoint there is really not a lot of difference.
champion game helped move players sign win
We're not going to sign everyone. We may have to move on without some of the players who helped us win a championship. That's the way the game is today.
bigger chance coming dramatic good helped kid leap playoff small throughout win
We feel good about Nate. Nate was a kid coming out of small college, and he had to adapt. He had to make a more dramatic leap than a kid coming from a bigger school. Throughout the year, he got better and better and better, to where he helped us win a playoff game. You look at him and say, OK, this kid's got a chance to develop.
both larry thinking worked worth
We were unanimous in thinking Troy was worth the 16th pick. It worked out well for both teams. They got (running back) Larry Johnson.

When it's this late in the year, you want someone who knows what it's all about. We knew him and knew he'd give us a good look in practice.

advantage anybody attention crazy evasive information league pay reason saying teams thinking throughout time tip trick year
I don't really pay attention to what other teams are saying publicly. I don't know how much you really can say. There's no reason to tip your hand. You put that much time into it, it's kind of crazy to kind of just give the information away. Much like ourselves, everybody's evasive at this point. There's no advantage to doing that. You're not going to trick anybody into thinking you're going to do something. ... You have a lot of friends throughout the league but at this time of year you don't really have too many friends.
bowl certainly definitely enhances himself interest keeping level super time win
I don't know if he's priced himself out. We don't know the interest level out there. Certainly we have an interest in keeping him, and we definitely want to keep him. I think any time you win a Super Bowl it enhances your value, sometimes artificially, too.
group inside kids second seen strongest
Inside linebacker is probably the strongest group I've seen in the 20 years I've been doing this. It's strong at the top, strong in the middle, and there are some kids on the second day that will be contributors, if not starters.

I just hope that everybody sees the benefits on both sides to continue the success of this league.

It's to their benefit to work out here. They'll never have a captive audience like they have here. Virtually every head coach, general manager and even some owners are in the stands.

This kid put up some amazing statistics in productivity at Bowling Green. We still think he has some improvement that can really come upon him at the pro level.
