I haven't heard anything about this from anyone in the league office, but that doesn't mean there's not something to it. Right now, we're scheduled to sit down and meet after the draft and evaluate everything. When we do that, we'll see where everything's headed.

I don't think there's anything special about where we've taken them or haven't taken them. It just worked out that way. It's not with any intent to take them or not take them. It's kind of how the draft falls, in that particular year, in that particular round.

Having those extra mid-round picks in a full draft does certainly give you flexibility to move up in rounds. There's only so far you can move in that first round. From 21 you're not going to be able to get into the top 10, but you could move up a couple of spots.

- Brad Barber Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

It was a loophole, and I slipped through it, didn't I (The new provision) sucks. We get screwed in the draft and go in the second round, and if we develop our game within the first two years, why do we get penalized We're getting penalized twice for getting drafted in the second round.

- Gilbert Arenas Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

I figured the way the draft would break down, and I wanted to start with a running back, and McAllister was still the best guy out there. I thought about Jamal Lewis and Domanick Davis, but the bottom line is that (McAllister) is still going to be the focus of their offense, and he was the best back to take at that spot. The fact is, they're still going to play 16 games.

- Paul Harris Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

We're trying to blend these two things so they're working in unison, so they're not working against each other. It's hard to draft the type of players you want if you're not positive in the development plan, and it's not an indicator to have success to have a development plan that doesn't mirror the type of players that you get attracted to you.

- Barham Saleh Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

I believe that every source possible is important but I still think the backbone of the league is the draft. I'd give the largest percentage to the draft, but it isn't a percentage large enough to win the election. You need more than that.

- Marv Levy Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

I can't tell you how many times you sit in a draft room and people say 'what kind of tight end is he' because there are very few guys that can block and catch. You can count them on one hand.

- Charlie Weis Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

It's a position where a lot of times they say they don't want to draft people too high because they think 'How much impact can a linebacker have' I guess it's understandable. Obviously we're not big defensive ends who are going to get 15 to 18 sacks a year. We're not going to be a running back who's going to rush for 1,500 yards. But all I want's a chance, regardless of where I'm taken.
