Seemed to indicate that Pacman was a bigger signing than George. Called Pacman the "man we had to get" and refered to George as a "starting Safety"
Said we lost MLJ by a whisker and only because he wanted to be a #1; the only thing we didn't offer.
Took LeFell because of versatility (slot and outside)
Called LaFell and Dansby "Bridge players"
Feels one of Dansby's roles is to mentor PJ Lawson, Says team is high om PJ
Doesn't think the team believes WR is a must need
Honestly thinks we will go BPA at a premiere position at RD 1; even mentioned Zeke if he is there
Apparently a big Syracuse fan.
Well if they consider LaFell to be a bridge or stop-gap, but they don't view WR as a priority, then then all that means is they probably won't be going WR in round 1 unless they're really impressed with someone. I don't see any way they don't draft a WR, but it looks like LaFell will have a more prominent role in '16 than some people thought.
It's good to hear that the Bengals think LaFell can play slot and outside, as many people here seem to think LaFell is useless on the outside for whatever reason. As for the rest, it's good to hear that the coaches still like Dawson. I'll join others in saying I'd be disappointed if RB is our first round pick.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
