At this point, you don't rule anything out. There's good players out there. If there are good players and we have an interest in them, we'll try and get them in here.

I would give full credit to ownership, because they provided us with the resources necessary to accomplish what we did. They were committed to a successful free-agency period.

I know there's a lot of speculation, but we have good linebackers. If you look at our team, you'll see that we have good players at a lot of positions. So luckily for us, we've put ourselves in a position where we don't have to do anything.

We have flexibility. The philosophy of a personnel staff would be to take the best player available, regardless of position. If you have that, you will generally draft, in the long run, better.

Part of the plan from the beginning was to take pressure off the draft. The plan is coming together.

There's an abundance of linebackers in this draft. There are a number of good first-day linebackers.
