I think it's pretty good, but the best ones will go early.
I think there's some truth to that. I don't agree with him, but he may very well feel that way.
I think the thing to remember is that they weren't that close to the Super Bowl. But they have the core to be a better team. The rookie class is not going to have a huge impact this year because off-season workouts are cancelled. We don't even know how much of a pre-season there will be or whether there will be a complete regular season.
The improvement has to come mostly from within. I thought the only player who could have had an impact based on where they were with the 30th pick was Kenneth Murray. They got outbid for him.
I don't know the answer to that, but I wouldn't be surprised if New England was considering him. I think Indianapolis and Jacksonville were thinking QB. That's my guess.
They would not have been able to take advantage of the WR class if they had done that. They would have needed to give away their second, third and a sixth probably.
They are no one of significance. Long shots to make the team.
I thought they do OK. The receiver position struggled. Then they fired the coach. I doubt he was that bad. Wisconsin hired him almost immediately. I think the jury is out on how they develop players.
You think they were better than New Orleans, New England, Baltimore and Tennessee? I'm not sure.
He had three offensive coordinators in three years and a terrible offensive line, too.
I would certainly inquire.
What makes you think they've thrown in the towel? Who do you think would have turned them into a Super Bowl team at No. 30? Just asking.
We don't know that. And it has been well-publicized that both Indy and Jacksonville need QBs. I mean, you don't have to be a genius to know they were in the market.
OK, I'm just getting ready for Gutekunst. I will start transcribing as soon as he gets on. Excuse the typos and fragmented sentences please.
Jordan Love will be on the conference call after that.
Courage to make this pick: No, I don't think so. We go through the same process. We build our board and try to take the best player available. It was just one of those things, he was the best player left. We feel he'll have a big future. I htink we're
Did you take into ac count the season? It did not come into play at all.
Moving up? We went through our normal process. We talked to a lot of teams just to find out what it was going to cost us. I had a conversation with Miami and it seemed like the right hting to do. It was just a fourth round pick. and felt it was the right pick.
Any teams competing for Love? You never really know. You hear chatter. You never really know for sure. We thought that was a possibility.
