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.
guys might second training
The second day of training camp, these guys might have to come in and play.
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.
tough
Realistically, it would be pretty tough to get up there.
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.
chance guys helps leave
We had a lot of contributors, and that helps the whole process. Some guys just never get a chance to play and sometimes they leave before they get a chance to develop.
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.
ability feelings players somebody sooner system value
We put a value on everybody, and we look at a player's ability and what players are going to be doing down the road. The system we use - sooner or later, somebody is going to get their feelings hurt.
answer football heck matt until wait
I think Matt McCoy is going to be a heck of a football player. I really do. Right now, it's just wait and see until we answer that question.
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,
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.
dog guy hour miles per realistic stretch
To me, that's not one of his issues. We all want the guy that's going to play 100 miles per hour every snap. I don't know how realistic that is. He's not by any stretch a dog or anything like that.
