confident definitely help looking lose pick players
We are not going to lose in the first round. That is the way we are looking at it. I'm confident there are 32 players we can take as a first pick that will definitely help this team.

We were unanimous in thinking Troy was worth the 16th pick. It worked out well for both teams. They got (running back) Larry Johnson.
good knew knows late
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.
