admit bad guy happens mistakes sets turns waiting
If you have a bad draft, I don't think it sets you back a whole lot. If it's a quarterback or a top-10 pick, then it's going to put you back a little bit. I think probably what happens is that if you don't admit your mistakes and you keep waiting for a guy to develop, that's when it potentially turns into a problem.
bad board feeling guess guys last lines sure taken
You can guess all you want, but you can't know for sure if one of the guys you want is going to be there at 14. It would be a bad feeling to see one of the last guys you really like being taken at No. 13. But, luckily, I think the way our board lines up right now, there should be a guy we want with that 14th pick.
biggest drafting guy work
The biggest thing is, if you're drafting for a need and that guy doesn't work out, then you have to go and do the same thing over again.
three
It's very open. It could go any of the three ways.
good last players year
We got some good players out of that draft... but I really don't know what else we can take out of that draft. It's not like we did anything differently than we'll do this year or we did last year.
explained talked
We talked to him at the combine. We talked to him here. He explained everything. That's all I can say about that.
guess guys hope might side top turn
The top 32 guys we have on our board, I'd guess that about 28 of them will be taken. There might be 15 of them that don't turn out that good. You hope that you're not on that side of it.
college defensive earlier ends football guys projected wash
The way college football has been going, most of our strong-side linebackers are projected as defensive ends in the draft. Those guys are going to go a lot earlier than they have in the past. We see them as linebackers, but by the same token, they're not a wash at defensive end.
good group groups guys
This is a pretty good group of linebackers, actually. One of the first groups in a while where there are guys with size.
guys might second training
The second day of training camp, these guys might have to come in and play.
tough
Realistically, it would be pretty tough to get up there.
good guys turned wish
Obviously, we wish all of these guys turned out to be really good players. Some do, some don't.
leaving u2
I feel like I'm leaving a U2 concert,
miss
You can't miss on Bush. He's everything you want.
