Draft Quotations | Page 3

When the consultants complied the first draft for the traffic impact fee model, they used a larger city model which we felt was inappropriate for Red Bluff, ... The new proposed fees are a better fit for our community.

You can get booed on draft day and loved on the parade.

You'll definitely see some changes in the lineup. We had some good draft picks.

We draft mostly high school kids and we have one of the finest, if not the finest, player development programs and coaching staffs and we teach our players the right way to play. We also have a game plan in scouting, and there are certain types of players that we look for.

We're all professionals. They went through the same draft process to get to where they are as I did, so I'm going to make plays, they're going to make plays.

We provide information service delivery to those hard to reach areas, conduct workshops whereby rural youths learn how to use PCs, draft CVs and business plans, as well as give them advice on how to start up their own businesses.

We don't ever feel like we want to go into a draft and, particularly early in the draft, go after need. I think that's something you look at more on the second day, if you haven't been able to have it line up the way you'd like it to the first day.

We had a lot of stuff going on. I don't stress about the draft at all. That's the best part -- we had all those guys drafted.

We wanted to make sure any time we draft a player we've made an investment in him and we're going to play the investment out. We just needed to see certain things in terms of his progression, irrelevant of him being a first-round pick or a seventh-round pick.

Usually the first day of the draft is on the day of the spring game, so you miss it. But we have some equipment people keep an eye on it and they will come and let us know.

We have also explained that the government has submitted the new tax bill and customs and excise draft law to the House of Representatives to support law enforcement,

We could have had potentially seven or eight first-round draft picks in our league right now.

We believe the draft continues to serve the purpose of supporting competitive balance,

We can still prepare the draft without the Sunnis. All the groups elected in the national assembly can come together and prepare the draft by Monday evening.

We'll release the first discussion draft very late this year or very early next year. We'll provide an extensive rationale as to why we made the choices we made and, in a limited way, why we didn't include some other suggestions.

Today's releases represent the initial step towards some of our larger prize competitions. We want to know what adjustments we should make to draft rules and what collaborations we should use to ensure these competitions are challenging, achievable, and valuable to both NASA and the competing teams.

While we have not yet reviewed the draft in detail, we are encouraged by its overall direction, particularly in promoting investment and competition in advanced services." ()

Understanding how important slotting is to top draft picks in terms of who got what . . . and how they fall into place, this is really a timing issue,

We can always find creative ways to do things. But I hope by draft time we will be beyond that. As teams peer into the abyss, as they peer into the apocalypse, sanity will return. When the NFLPA and management truly recognize the nature of no agreement, their intelligence and rationality will force them into making a deal.

We have a veteran line in terms of guys playing in the league, but at some point in time it's an area that has to be addressed with younger players. I'd love for us to be able to draft somebody of significance for the offensive line. I think it would be a step in the right direction. That's something that we would certainly consider. It may or may not happen.

We anticipate someday water will flow down Long Pond Road to Cedarville and that's part of our water master plan, which is in draft form right now and scheduled to be ready by Christmas.

Well, obviously you don't like cutting a third-round draft choice,

You'd like to put yourself in a position, if you have a flexibility to do it, to take a particular player that you'd like to get. Obviously if you have multiple draft picks, that gives you a little bit more flexibility. That's not a luxury that we have right now.

Though we don't have any strong problems with the fourth draft, how the DPRK react to the fourth draft is something we have to see today.

Thus far, there has not been a real sentiment to move players for draft picks. People want bodies back.

We are not doing this under a set time frame, so we will continue negotiations to coordinate each party's interest given the draft we have now,

We had a plan and that was that all of the orange and white cars were going to stay together and hopefully use the draft and stay quick, ... I was catching Eric (Curran) by quite a bit and I thought that it wasn't going to be as good of a lap but it turned out it was excellent.

When David has time to throw, he does a good job. Offensive tackle is a hard position to solve unless you use a high draft pick, and we've used those picks on other positions. Good tackles aren't sitting there in free agency.

We're not going into the draft with any one area of need, and I think that was very important. And so we pretty much brought a lot of the pieces back. The only place we're a little bit depleted right now is at receiver.

We actually have a second draft coming in.

Yeah, a little slicker. I've got it working in the draft now.

We are glad we got him and you think 'yeah that is a good draft choice'.

We're elated to get him with a sixth-round draft pick.

to try to prepare for another round of six-party talks, including preparing a draft document that might be used at those talks.

This staff draft is a very useful starting point in the process,

We do feel confident and really feel for the first time in five years that our starting pitching depth is coming from original draft choices of the Indians. What goes along with that is youth and physical durability. It's encouraging.

Writing the first draft of a new story is incredibly difficult for me. I will happily do revisions, because once I can see the words on the page, I can go about ripping them up and moving scenes around. A blank page, though? Terrifying. I'm always angsty when I'm working my way through a first draft.

We have considered both of those, but we're going to weigh that against draft considerations as well, and see where we come out. There's certainly no opposition to looking at Joey Harrington.

There are a lot of people in this business who believe that part of our job is to reassure the public every night, ... I subscribe to leaving people with essentially a rough draft of history. Some days it is reassuring, some days it is absolutely destructive.

We believe that we are under no legal obligation to give out the draft license application. Once the license application is submitted to the (Nuclear Regulatory Commission), it will be made public.

While no member state has got everything it argued for, the text before you is balanced, strong and workable. I also hope that, after reviewing the text as a whole and after assessing the larger issues at stake, you will be ready to move to a decision on this draft resolution as soon as possible, preferably before the end of next week.

We were second quick on the board in practice (Thursday), but it's hard to tell because with others on the track it can affect the draft and it makes your time a little better than it was. I think we are going to do fairly good.

We consider the fourth draft to be an very excellent basis for reaching the goals of principles that will guide us to the eventual agreement.

We consider the fourth draft to be an excellent basis for reaching goals and principles that will guide us to reach agreements, ... How did the DPRK react to the fourth draft is something we have to see today.

We consider draft picks to be really big assets. We just felt like our teams would be better prepared and have more information on players if they were able to see them on a little higher-level competition. Picking guys out of high school was a very difficult thing.

We will draft a letter to the D-O-T stating that we've agreed to it. They will make the necessary cost adjustments.

We will do our best to make sure this draft fails at the referendum.

We will continue to investigate our options in free agency and look forward to next month's draft to build the best roster we can.

We would like to solve everything that we could on our football team in free agency. That way you go into the draft and you're freewheeling.

When Brandon called me on the phone and said he was going to put his name in the draft -- and he couldn't come back, since he had tested the waters a year ago -- the first call I made was to Glen Davis, ... And I told Glen, 'Brandon's putting his name in the draft' -- and Glen had kind of suspected that already -- 'and now it's on you.' I said, 'You wanted to be the man -- now you are the man.'

We're trying to find six or seven No. 1 draft picks every class. We'd like to have that many every year. Every recruit out of state, we're trying to find a No. 1 pick. That's the criteria. We primarily recruit in California.

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.

We think this draft is deeper than 27 players. We think we can get a good and talented player there, who can come in and help us.

This year, we have an extra third and an extra fourth. Having those extra mid-round picks in a full draft certainly gives you flexibility to move up, but there's only so far you can go in the first round. From 21st, you're not going to be able to get into the top 10, but you could move up a couple of spots.

We believe that any bank seeking to conduct new financial activities should be required to achieve and maintain a satisfactory CRA record, ... The draft bill fails to include this requirement.

True partisans draft legislation that gives themselves everything and their enemies nothing. They love bills that repulse and even disgust the other side. Today's politics have become an all-or-nothing, black-or-white, zero-sum game - it's not a contact sport but a blood sport.

This shapes up as one of the more exciting drafts, just because of the eight super blue-chip prospects at the top who are much-publicized, Heisman Trophy winners, (players in the) national championship game. Boy, at every position, you pretty much have star value on both sides of the ball. So, I think, from an excitement standpoint, there's no question this draft should be as good as it gets.

There are guys who may have bigger numbers, and guys who may be bigger and faster, but Bruce has all of that. He may be one of the safest picks in the draft this year.

When you have the No. 1 pick in the draft . . . there can't be any doubts, there can't be any questions and in our mind there were no questions with this young man. There's no flaws in this guy's abilities as a player and a person.

When you draft a player you draft a human being and you get to know these guys and you know how passionate they are and how badly they want to play. It tugs on you pretty hard. It's probably one of the toughest things I've had on the job.

When you draft a player and you see him play a year in the league, you have an idea of whether he has a chance of being a special player,

When you draft a guy and you see him develop and you watch him grow and he becomes a really good player, you clearly don't want to let him go. But that's the system.

We've got three pedals in these cars and the middle one is the brake, ... As many times as he's been drafting here, he knows that you always stack up at the end of every straightaway. It's the way the draft works.

We've just completed a draft recommendation for a common communication protocol for settlement and clearing in the EU. The final version will be published in March 2006, and we're looking for infrastructure to be compliant with the terms of that protocol within two years.

With our pre-draft camp in town and with our draft taking place less than 24 hours after an NCAA national champion is crowned, Boston will be the Mecca of women's basketball during the first week of April.

When you are picking at 53, it is hard because there are 52 picks in front of you and a lot of teams are picking twice. You will have a better feel what is going to be at 53 once you get through the first round because we put down everyone's needs so once they draft in the first round you can focus in on what is going to happen in the second.

When I went there it wasn't like I knew who came out of where, ... I wasn't into the draft stuff. I wasn't really paying attention to it. But now looking at it, it really is a league for quarterbacks. They keep coming out like Leftwich and Rotherlisberger and Frye. It's a QB league.

to discuss wording and take on board constructive suggestions as to how the process set out in the draft resolution could be improved, and that is exactly what we are doing.

You can?t create players. You have to draft the board based on what your options are. As soon as you start taking players truly based on need, if they can?t fill that need, then you have to come back the next year or the next pick and you?re drafting again for the same spot and you haven?t filled anything other than putting a name on a piece of cardboard and putting it up on the depth chart.

You can't come in as a seventh-round draft choice, or any kind of draft choice, never practice and expect to make this football team. It's too bad, but he's got to get himself back out here in a hurry.

We had a special group, but it's hard to bring everybody back. That happens every year. You hope to keep a good nucleus, draft well and maybe pick up some free agents. It's going to be a challenge, but I like where we're starting and the players we're starting with.

We've had some phone calls, my family and I have talked about it, and we'll just wait and see what happens. If the draft doesn't work out, UNC is a great option to have. It's a win-win situation.

We all know how things work: he's a second-round draft pick, so people want to see him play, ... He will get some playing time or he will start, you never know. I just take it a day at a time. I don't look at it as a disadvantage or an advantage. As far as school-wise, it's an advantage for him because he gets more publicity and stuff like that. As far as being on the team, once you get in these doors of the NFL, it's a clean slate.

we all know how it works -- he's a second-round draft pick, people want to see him play.

The original draft had originally ended with our conversation at table,

Theoretically, our writers will come to us with nothing. And they will leave with the first draft of a novel, a portfolio of poems or even the first act of a play. The biggest monster of writing is the first blank 250 pages and the program is here to help confront those challenges.

There is no such thing as a draft exception.

There could be more activity for him after the draft than through it.

We have a draft of the proposals in hand which we're going through. A vote this week is possible, but there are still some areas where we don't have agreement.

This was in the late 1950s, and we held the draft in Philadelphia because that's where the commissioner, Bert Bell, had his office.

This was an initial draft of an idea. There's nothing cast in stone. We expected them to refer it to their solicitors and come back with comments to it. I don't look at it as a rejection. This is the start of a dialogue.

What's been done in the past I really have no control over. Frankly, I like the fact that we have kind of a blank canvas with some young talent, some very good draft picks and a chance to really build.

What rookies expect to start? I mean, the first pick of the draft may start. It's just turned out to be a great fit for me.

We found the original draft of the scientific paper, which said, 'secondhand smoke increases the risk of sudden infant death,' in Phillip Morris's corporate files along with their suggestions to Sullivan to change it.

We can not endorse a working document, a draft that has not been discussed nor had a final edit.

We knew going into the draft we weren't going to get all of them to come in. If we can get 50 percent of the draft picks to training camp, we will be doing extremely well.

You hit panic mode if you don't like the first draft at all.

To get off to a good start, we needed everybody in, including our draft picks. We wanted to get the new guys and the young guys familiar with what we are doing, ... Really, we wanted the enthusiasm taking off from where it was last year, so it was a key thing that we got everybody into camp on time.

This (the China deal) is an example of how things should not be done. We have been told that the draft agreement will work to the advantage of China and be bad for us.

What Cadillac has done being the third back taken in the draft there's a lot to be said about that along with the other young guys we're counting on to continue to make plays for us. If you can build on that, this offense can do some pretty good things.

We had the first pick in the draft and there were kids and parents telling me not to pick their kid because they wouldn't play for Snider.

We are carefully studying the draft resolution on Iraq presented by the United States and Britain.

We certainly would like to have him back on our basketball team. But we have to take a look at everything when the season ends, that gets into money situations, roster spots, draft picks. We have to look at all the different things, so it's too early to tell anything.

We continue to work with leadership to draft a bill that will provide the necessary borrowing authority as expeditiously as possible.

We are very disappointed with the draft that was produced last Thursday. We don't think it's acceptable.

We think it's a serious problem; we don't have a solution to recommend. We regard today's draft as simply serving notice that this is a problem that can no longer be ignored.

We're going to attempt to get as many people as we can signed to extensions and hopefully get our draft picks in on time.

We feel pretty confident. We feel like we can be in the top 10 in qualifying. The good things about it is I think we've got a car that can qualify in the top 10 and draft well at the same time. That's important.

You have to proceed as if you are not going to have him. That's the only way you can proceed. We signed two veteran corners, obviously, to protect ourselves. But I think when you get into the draft you can never make a decision that is based on another player's medical uncertainty. You are really taking too much of a risk there.

To be honest with you, I had never heard of him until it started getting close to the draft last year. Being where I was from, we never heard or saw too much from the West Coast, but then when they drafted both of us, I thought, 'Hmmm, I guess I'm going to have to beat this guy out to play.' I thought that's what they had in mind.
