If it's a real talented guy and we like the guy and we think he is going to help us win, is going to upgrade team speed, then you consider it, you talk about it.

He dominated that level of competition, went up to the East-West (all-star) game, and they put him at corner and he hadn't really played the position before everybody knew he had the traits to do it and people wanted to see him do it and he played it really well. So you know he can play corner, he can play safety, he can return kicks.

Last year, I don't know if it was an aberration or not, but you had 19 or 20 guys we rated as solid corners who went on the first day of the draft. I watch how many guys at each position go. Generally speaking, you would see in the first day 12 to 15 corners go.

Our tight end has got to be able to block. This is Chicago. We've got to run the ball, especially when the weather is bad. If he can't block, he's not a fit.

The tight ends are gone. You can't create one.

You're looking for athletic ability more than anything, but some tackles might be a little too slow to be on the outside.

That killed him with a lot of teams. I mean, he ran slow.

If you can get a guy who can do both real well, that's a bonus, but then he's going real high in the draft.

In the past, we had made up our mind that if Alex or Kyle was still there, they were the guy. Will we be able to do that this year? Maybe not. We'll have a list and hope that somebody sticks there.
