TT's comments on draft

quote:

# We had some guys we targeted and those guys fell down to where we thought they would go. All things considered we feel pretty good about what we did."
# "Since we were picking in the fourth round, we always talked about getting T.J. Lang. He's got good feet, is a good technician. He's a good player."
# "I've never said need doesn't factor in. It wasn't like we had to do something. In the draft you would like to balance it out. We targeted guys. I think it worked out pretty well."
# "I was happy that we were able to get the players we got. Hopefully they will come in and help us. But our success will depend on the players we already have."
# Mark Tauscher is still a possibility according to Thompson. It's a question of timing and the medical thing.
# Brad Jones is a very interesting player. We started watching a lot of tape on him. The more you watch the more you like. He lines up everywhere. He can rush from the end with his hand down. He can rush on the inside. I've seen him play away, a lot like what Clay did at USC.
# Underwood is a very versatile player. Thought he played both positions pretty well. He's got good size, runs well. Very athletic. We were pretty keen on him.
# On Johnson: We thought it was a great value pick. SEC football is a physical game. He's a very, very effective lead blocker. He's a big, physical. That was a value pick.
# We'd like them all to pitch in and do their part.
# I think Raji and Matthews can come in and help right away.
# We didn't feel like there were any gaping holes. I don't necessarily think we have any gaping holes moving forward.
# Packers didn't try to move up today. Once we spent those picks yesterday, I was pretty much done dealing picks.
