How to start?
Well this is what the man said today:
Question:
(Will you always take the best player, or are there times need overrides that?)
TT's response:
Need factors in if you have what you consider, certainly the way they are on the board, identical players, Position A and Position B, and you feel like you might have more of a pressing need right at this moment, you might go for Position B. But if there's a difference in those players, if Position A is truly a better player, then we feel like you have to take Position A. Because a draft is not let's get ready for mini-camp, or let's get ready for the 2007 season. A draft is an investment in a player that's going to be here for a number of years, and when you don't take the best player, it'll just come back and bite you every time. And we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I've taken players based off need, or what I perceived to be a need, and passed on another player that was really a better player. But we try not to do that, and I have people that keep reminding me of that all day long.
That's what he said and how could TT do the most (his way) after ignoring our needs on 'O'?
If he's there at #16 TT will pick this guy (an outstanding athlete and good guy):
CB Darrelle Revis, Pittsburgh (5-11½, 204; 4.40)
Revis did not work out at the NFL Scouting Combine. He worked out March 16 at Pitt's Pro Day. He ran his 40s in 4.41 and 4.39 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.08 and the three-cone drill in 6.56. He also had a 38-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot-5 broad jump and 15 bench presses. He also weighed eight pounds less than he did at the Combine. He played quarterback, running back, receiver and cornerback in high school. He also was an outstanding basketball player and ran track. At Pittsburgh, he started 11 games as a true freshman in 2004, and ended up starting 23 games over the next two seasons. He is smart and a very good person. He has the size you want for the position, and he's strong. He will support the run and plays with lots of confidence. He ran faster than people thought he could; he is somewhat of a long strider. He could be a safety, and he can return kicks. He has Pro Bowl-like ability.
otherwise:
He'll run under the radar, trade down and pick his best available
I guessing that his first pick (on his board) will be WR Tedd Ginn Jr. if he trades down.
This fella gives us the deep threat ( heir apparant to Donald Driver ) and the help we need on ST's. . KR and PR.
