“They've been aggressive with Andy Reid. Maybe they move up a couple of spots. I can't speak for them, but at 14 if they feel insecure at getting Justice at that point, then they could jump ahead of either Detroit or Minnesota.”
“I think this is a pretty good draft class overall. It's really shaping up that way because of the underclassmen. Usually, they're the key factor in whether a draft is good or not. It's very deep at a lot of positions.”
“Workout numbers for offensive linemen historically have been very overrated. That's when you get back to who can sustain a block and stay on his feet and give you the fire you need. You always look at who is a true football player in this draft. You throw out the workout numbers, and Jason Spitz from Louisville will be one of those guys.”
“If this was a year where you didn't have a Reggie Bush or the quarterbacks, he would be No. 1. At [No. 2], nobody is going to question the pick of Mario Williams.”
“I decided in my junior year that there was a market for this type of thing. I love the analytical and scouting aspect of it. Back in those days before full-fledged free agency, the draft was the only way a team could improve from one year to the next.”
“He's very much like a Shannon Sharpe-type of player. When you look at his pass-catching ability, it's unbelievable. But now, blocking is something that he needs to develop.”
“At one point in time, I thought he'd be a first-round pick. He's not productive enough, he's up and down, he flashes. He's got that huge frame. I put him in the second round to Oakland. Somebody in the second round is rolling the dice. If you ask me where he grades out, he doesn't grade out that high. Because you want that guy inside that makes more plays, makes more of an impact and maximizes that ability on a game-to-game basis. That's not a Gabe Watson. I'd say second round and a roll of the dice pick.”
“Teams still prioritize corner. When you think of all the wide receivers drafted, like Detroit taking a wide receiver (in the first round) three years in a row, you need corners to match up and not just one or two, you need three.”
