RECAP:
So basically the draft is deep at the positions we need.
Green spoke VERY highly of Derrick Johnson just now for what it's worth.
No one ruled out at starting QB.
Now he's talking about how well prepared the "group" of 2005 draft prospects is. I "think" he's praising them but I'm not sure he's not being sarcastic about all the trainers for the combine stuff.
Keeps saying best player, don't rule anybody out, "you can always use a guy who can play."
He also mentioned Justin Miller in the CB mix with the top 3. Looking at possible trade down scenerios maybe.
When asked if he could come out of the draft w/o an OLB, he said certainly. The question is "Is this player going to help us be better?"
"We want to be a significant entity."
"I would never make a move that I didnt believe would make us better"
"every man has to carry his own water"
"Travis Henry is the best second-stringer in the NFL."
"Deal still possible"
Henry deal still on the table for the right trade scenerio.
Called Henry the best backup RB in the league, posturing?
"Travis Henry is probably the best backup RB in the National Football League" right now. Said he hopes the trade can be resolved because he's a good football league. Also says he thinks that Henry has long felt he was drafted too low, didn't make as much money as he should have, and is looking for a new home now.
Seems to genuinely like Henry but clearly doesn't want to imply he's going to bend over for Buffalo.
Carlos Dansby was 25th best player on his board last year, taken at 32. It can happen again.
Benson and Brown more workhorse style backs.
Bennett is fast and DG raves about him.
Caddy is a combo.
Said Dansby was the 25th ranked player on their board last year and was the highest player left on our baord when we picked him up. Same thing will happen with the #44 pick and so on.
Talked about successful redzone running being the difference in 4 losses last year.
Talking about Matt Jones now, seen him play WR in the Senior Bowl, could move to TE. DG says "I'll predict he could even be a safety."
Matt Jones might outgrow WR, we've seen him play lots of positions. Maybe TE. Might outgrow S.
Keeps bringing up how teams that have been succesfull dont have 1st round CBs or how a lot of the good CB's in the league were not 1st round draft picks. I keep getting the feeling that the RB's and or DJ are at the top of his board ahead of the CB's.
