Is your philosophy different this year compared to last year?“You have to be fluid to a point. You can’t be so stringent that you can’t bend a little bit. Obviously, I’m in a way different place than I was last year withthis whole process. Chuck (Pagano) and I have looked at the whole landscape as compared to last year after free agency, and it looks a lot different.We’ve solidified some areas and also have created, I feel, competition in the position groups that we always really wanted to do, Chuck and I, since westarted this thing. We’re just getting closer to that goal. I’d say we still have the same philosophy, but it’s a little bit different than last year where we kindof had gaping holes in a lot of spots that needed to be addressed, a new defense and so forth. We feel like we’re in a better position.”Will you be more need-oriented in this draft?“I would never want to ever say that. Truthfully, if you have a player at a spot where there’s a position group you feel really strongly about is here (motions)and then you have the guy who’s in a spot who’s just right here (motions lower), you’re going to go with the need. If there’s a stud who’s just staring atyou and staring holes through you from your board and he’s at a spot you feel strongly going forward in the draft process and that guy can substantiallymake you better, you have to at least have that discussion. We’re willing to have those discussions. At the end of the day, we want the best footballplayers who are going to get us where we want to go, and that’s to win Super Bowls.”Do you have a cluster of players that you like at the No. 24 pick and are you willing to trade down for a second-round pick?“It’s really going to be a case-by-case basis. We’ll see how that board starts falling. Of course, if there’s not a player sitting there at 24 that the room isnot excited and we’re not high-fiving and things like that and we’re not even doing a little fist bump, we probably shouldn’t take that guy. We’re going toprobably look to trade out if there’s a player there we feel is just okay. We want players at that spot, especially in the first round, that are going to sub-stantially help us get to our goal.”Is there a certain position group that has good depth in the draft?“In our little cocoon, I feel like through this process the defensive line, offensive line and the secondary, that’s including safeties and corners, I feel likeit’s better than last year.” Is there are area that has talent that can be found later in the draft?“You hope. It’s not necessarily where you have the guys at the bottom of your board. Those are the guys you want to go grab. You want to go grab theguys who are still sitting up there like the board’s been picked through like a three-day turkey, that’s what my old boss used to say, those guys who arejust sitting out there just staring at you. Those are the guys you want to get late. The guys you had the second-round grades or third-round grades on andyou take them down there at sixth, that’s the hope. Again, we don’t want to ever reach down in the bowels of our board for need or just to pick a player.We want to get someone we are excited about who can help us.”How many players are on your draft board?“300 or so, you know? I was talking yesterday about it, there’s quite a difference between the 12,000 or so seniors you start out with, 850 or so you getwhen you’re in meetings in the spring and you whittle those down to 300 or 400, and then you whittle it down to six. You shouldn’t make any mistakes,right?”What’s it like to have the Mr. Irrelevant pick for the second-straight year?“It’s funny you say that. We found out that (Chandler) Harnish can also play basketball too. I like having that pick. I feel like that’s still a spot in the draft.It’s very relevant to us, that pick. We hope to get a player there who has starter traits, just like we would at any other spot.”Are there areas on the team that you will avoid in the draft?“I think you look at each position group and if someone dynamic comes along, if you have guys who can do their job at a high level, of course you say,‘We don’t really need to focus in that area.’ Again, this league is a tough league to win in. If someone comes along who is special in any way, then youwant to have that discussion. The more great, dynamic players you have, the more a guy can do for you, is obviously the more he can do for your won-loss column. I’d say yes. I’d say regardless of position, there’s always going to be a conversation if a great player is sitting there, someone we think isspecial.”Is Dwight Freeney’s replacement on the roster right now?“I’d say right now we’re still finding that out. Dwight was a great, great player here. I think also he was a great pass rusher. I feel having Robert (Mathis)and Dwight sometimes for them being here so long, maybe we’re a little spoiled. You had two such elite pass rushers. How many teams have two?They’re sometimes looking just for one. They’re lucky if they can find one elite guy. Right now, I don’t feel like as an organization, Chuck (Pagano) I knowdoesn’t feel from his defensive standpoint that he wants people to run the ball down our throat anymore. I don’t want to be sitting there having someonedrop 300-plus yards on us, and I sure as heck know our head coach doesn’t want that. We have implemented players that have a mentality of stoppingthe run, getting off blocks, getting to the football, setting the edge. I know you’ve heard that a lot, but that’s something that when we signed Erik Waldenthat he did right off the bat. We feel like we do have some younger guys that you might not know their names yet who are developing in the shadows aspass rushers. Lawrence Sidbury is one who has some sack production since college, and has some length. There are some young guys too who are inthe mix that have shown they can really rush the passer, play with a high rate of energy and motor. We want 11 Colts helmets flying to the ball to whereit looks like there are 30. We want blurs out there. That’s the mindset that Chuck wants and we all want. That’s how defenses (become) great – everyoneis on the same page, everybody goes lights out. Now we’re getting some more guys throughout the process that fit our defense in a better way now thanlast year.”Are the defensive line and linebacker positions still a priority and can a player in the draft fit there?“Sure, sure. I’m not going to discount anything. We always look at the best players, the best talent. Those big bodies that have any type of dynamic ability,there’s only a handful ever in the draft. If we’re fortunate enough to be sitting there staring at one, we’d have to talk about it.” Are there any positions that you don’t look at, I assume quarterback is one?“I mean quarterback obviously is one. We feel pretty darn good about our quarterback position right now. Aside from that, I’d say no. We are alwayslooking, even now, up until an hour ago, uncovering some players. It’s pretty late in the process but if there’s anybody that flashes something, again aspecial quality, that we don’t have a great feel for yet, we feel that, even in the midnight hour, we have to get those guys at least in our wheelhouse fordraft or afterwards.”How big are smokescreens this time of year? “I feel like that’s wasted energy. I’m just not big on smokescreens. I feel it takes your eye off the ball. Since I’ve started this process, I just don’t feel theneed for cloak and dagger because I need to focus on my job and doing my job 100 percent of the time. To start doing all that, sometimes by not doinganything you trip people up.”

Do you have to be aware of smokescreens from other organizations?“That’s why I’m not a big phone guy. The people in the league know that. I’m not going to show my hand in this process by having conversations withpeople, trying to pull information from them because obviously they are going to try and pull information from us and the minute that happens then theyknow you are full of baloney. There’s no productivity to it. The whole thing is a big charade so why even waste my time? Anybody that has half a brainisn’t going to give me information that’s going to hurt their organization and I’m not going to be able to pull out anything from them if they have a brainthat’s going to help us. At the end of the day, it still might be B.S. It’s wasted time. I’d rather focus on watching film and getting players ready.” Do you pay attention to mock drafts? “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t look at it. It’s kind of like reading my morning paper. When I get in here early in the morning and I go through my routine, drinkmy coffee and put on the music and I go through the e-mails, I like having one of my assistants give me the latest mock drafts just to see the groupingsof players because those guys talk to people in the NFL. They talk to NFL personnel. There has to be some merit to it. Believe me, I don’t sit there andget scared or it doesn’t affect our process in any way, shape or form. Every once in a while, you’ll see someone creep into one that you thought maybehad first-round value but you didn’t think anyone else really did and now maybe the cat’s out of the bag because everyone is seeing just his name in thatlight now. There’s something to be said of that.”How would you characterize this draft without any glamorous names? “Really it’s so hard to say that it’s not a glamorous draft or whatever because we are not going to know for a few years what these guys are anyway, notfor the most part, except for how we were last year with playing guys and everything like that. For the most part, you are not going to know for a littlewhile. But I would say, the game is won and lost in the trenches and this is a really good trench draft. I think there’s a lot of good players on both sides ofthe ball in terms of linemen. I’d say that.”What do you look for when the schedule is released tonight?“How long am I going to have to sit on a plane? That’s pretty much the first thing I think about it. No, obviously you want to think about the environmentyou’re going to be playing in. Every opponent in the NFL is obviously a worthy opponent. Coming from where we came from last year, I felt the coachesdid a great job with was we had a respect from everyone that we played. We never looked past anyone obviously and we have to keep that mindset. Interms of getting the schedule, it’s kind of nice to know where you’re going to be. We are kind of the team that will play anybody anywhere. We don’t lookmuch more into it than that.”Are you curious to see when Peyton Manning comes to town?“It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be a great game. He’s a great player. Andrew (Luck) is a great player. Two great organizations. Just like any gamethough, we’ll be trying to win, he’ll be trying to win, and at the end of the day, whoever has the most points goes home the winner. That’s the beauty ofour staff, our organization, is just a simplistic way we look at everyone. I had such a great moment of clarity, I was talking yesterday to a group of people.It was probably a couple of months after the draft and someone mentioned to me that we never lost two games in a row. I never even realized that. That’sjust the nature of the beast in this job. I just felt like that spoke to our resiliency with our head coach out of the building but not his message. I just feel likewe have to maintain that mindset, that simple mindset. Don’t read into things, don’t look up to the scoreboard when you’re playing and those are the typeof things that Chuck (Pagano) has really driven home. If we hold onto those things, then we have a chance.”What is the best part about the draft and is this the best time of year for you?“It’s fun. It’s a lot of work. It’s fun being around the scouts and just getting kind of a feel for what they did on the road this year, guys they liked, guys theydidn’t like, their personalities and passions come out in those meetings. It’s fun just getting everyone’s opinion and then formulating it. Chuck (Pagano)and I have these discussions every day and every day you just kind of narrow it more and more. Like I said, you start with all those names and it’s just anarrowing process. I love casting a wide net and just narrowing it down. The staff I have and the communication we have and the mutual respect wehave, with the coaches and the scouts, it’s a great synergy. As long as we maintain that, I think we are going to have really good drafts. We all know whatwe want. Like even today our new special teams coach (Tom McMahon) went through a great dissertation and I was all ears on the nuances of eachspot. How a punter drops a ball, how he holds his hand, the angle of his wrist and his palm, all these little intricacies that I felt like this was great that weall buy into that. If we know what they need to be successful and we can go out there and earmark it and we have a bevy of those guys, from rounds onethrough college free agency, then it gives us a great chance.”Are you getting the players you need from a defensive standpoint?“Of course. Players like Ricky Jean (Francois), I’ve been a 4-3 as a scout, player and executive my whole life but even as a staff now, and we even havethese discussions right now with the coaches in our meetings. When you watch the film now, you can tell a 4-3 type player just by their mannerisms thana 3-4. We recognize that quickly right now. Playing square, setting the edge, being strong and stout at the point of attack, having the mindset of whereyou are going to stop the run, people are not going to run on us, it’s a pride thing. We’ve always spoken about that since day one. Where we’ve comefrom, from the far end of the spectrum after a 4-3 that’s really just a credit to our staff. I’ve told them that to (Greg) Manusky, Chuck (Pagano) and ourwhole defensive staff, for the personnel playing with small tackles, playing them at three and five-technique when they are so undersized, they got it doneon grit and determination to them. Again, we are trying to have the right body type so we can be successful. That’s not always the case. Sometimes theguy who’s smaller ends up out-playing the big guy. That happens.”Any of the mock drafts done a good job of nailing your needs?“No (laughs).”Do you feel a blue-chip player will be there at No. 24?“Well, if you look back at the last 10 years, when you guys leave here and google it, there’s usually a pretty good player there. I’m optimistic but again Ialways talk to you guys about doomsday scenarios and we’ll be prepared. If there’s a player there, you hope it’s a blue but if there’s a sure-fire starter orat least an eventual starter that’s going to strengthen this team and fit the vision of winning championships than we’ll pluck him, we’ll take him. But ifthere’s just a guy there and we feel like if we had a two than we can get this guy. That’s bad business. We aren’t going to do that. We are going to tradeback.”Is that just an aberration for the players that are at 24? Ed Reed and Steven Jackson, is that just an aberration for that spot? Maybe those guysaren’t there at 22 or 26?“That was one of the first things I did when we got the draft order was to see who has been there. I said, ‘Oh this might not be such a bad spot.’ I meanone is something else but like we said last year, we hoped we wouldn’t be picking anywhere near that spot and thank heavens we’re not. But you shouldbe able to find, out of all those numbers, starting with 12,000 you should be able to find a good player when you have 24 from the top of that 12,000.”

How much of this process is psychological testing? “You know, I’ll totally be honest with you guys, I look at all of it. We pay for it, it’s part of the process but you know at the end of the day it’s like if someoneis doing surgery on your knee you want the best knee guy. How do I know that the person I’m getting information from is a great psychologist? So I takeeverything with a grain of salt. That’s why the top 30 visits, the interviews at the combine, the school visits by the scouts, all the people involved in thisprocess that bring the information to Chuck (Pagano) and I mean it just has to be assimilated and we just have to make decisions. You factor in how theguy plays, you factor in what people say about him as a citizen, as a teammate, as a student, you hear what his teachers say, you get as much information.You might have a scout go have dinner with his high school coach out of the blue. I like shock value, I like doing things out of the blue where there’s nochance to prepare because at the combine a lot of that is rehearsed. But I love the top 30 because these guys come in and they sit across from you andyou have them in here all day and sometimes they’re beat up from being at 15 different places on the road and their guard is down because they’re justdog tired so they open up and you get to see what they really are made of and you get a feel for do they love the game, will they work at it, do they wantto be a pro, do they see themselves playing next year. Sometimes you’ll have a guy sitting in front of you that you have completely pegged wrong. Youthink this guy is a go getter, he’s one of those guys that’s champing at the bit to be out there and you say, ‘What are you going to do next year?’ and hesays, ‘Well I just hope to make the team,’ and here’s a guy you’re thinking is going to be a high pick. That’s not the kind of mindset you want in the firstround, a guy who is satisfied getting a paycheck waiting in the wings for three years. You want the guy that’s hungry. So it’s a great way to gauge players.We’re not always going to hit on them 100 percent because they’re human beings. You don’t know what you’re getting from one day to the next but theprocess in general is a big process. We take into account if a guy has mental issues, mental concerns, if those are going to be concerns for us. Can weget him the right help and support system that will get him to be where he can function on this team and be a good teammate and a player? So we takeall those things into account.”Would you draft a Tyrann Mathieu?“We consider all those guys. We do our due diligence on everyone. There were players in the draft last year that had multiple things in their backgroundbut if they would have slipped to a certain spot we would have taken them because we felt comfortable. At the end of the day, if players have made nu-merous mistakes but they’ve shown that they can nip it in the bud and have considerable time moving forward where they are at least showing that theyare going in the right direction, we’ve been a place of second chances, we’ve proven that. I told an agent a long time ago when I was trying to bring aplayer here, this is the house of Lazarus. We want to help people resurrect their lives and their careers if they have talent, obviously. You don’t want todo it for just anybody but these guys that had had issues you’ve got to be careful, it’s a risk, it’s obviously a risk, but you have to calculate how big of arisk it is. Usually they’re guys that if they fall to you, you feel a lot better than you going up there and nabbing them early because they haven’t had thetrack record to say that they’re not going to mess up again. That’s what these visits do. You point to them and you look them in the eye and you say, ‘Whyshould we trust you if you’ve done all these things? We’re rolling the dice on you.’ Sometimes you can get a really heartfelt contrite, these are youngguys, you’re talking everybody in this room thinks about when you’re 15 to 22 years old, I’m sure there’s a lot of things we’d all take back. So I take thatinto account that people make mistakes. But we also will make sure that we don’t miss out on a great player because we’re being judgmental. If a guylooks like he’s going in the right direction, we’ll take a hard look at him.” What’s a bigger red flag for you, a guy with a PED past or a guy with a marijuana past? “Both. They both are. He’s using an illegal substance, an illegal drug, in society and in our league. I think that they both are serious concerns.” Has either league trend or rule change to the crown of the helmet rule devalued the run game so much that it’s reprioritized what you look for?“No. In owners meetings and Chuck (Pagano) and I had numerous discussions on it because you don’t ever want to take the physicality out of this league.But I don’t think it’s going to do that. It’s just going to be a deterrent for players in terms of muscle memory and trying to make the game safer. Theseplayers leave this game, I had a cup of coffee and I have a reminder every day when I get out of bed with my back so it’s just about making the gamesafer for these players to have a greater longevity once they get out. Not taking the physicality out but we’re not talking about no more hitting. If youwould have seen some of these hits, some of these blows, people who don’t even know the game would say that looks scary right there. So I think it’sgood the league has identified it and everyone is following suit and we voted accordingly.” Does Pep Hamilton’s college history balance more towards running than passing and does that impact how you view your needs there or doyou feel like you have need in that area? “Of course we want to achieve balance throughout. Pep, he’s thrown the ball vertically at Stanford, he’s had a power running game, and he’s had somehorses. But when Chuck (Pagano) and I get together and we talk about how things are going to move forward in terms of offense and defense, we alwayslike we’ve even said from the beginning we want to remain versatile enough, fluid enough, pliable enough to play the best players. If all you do is put incookie cutter guys regardless of whether their dynamic or what they bring to the table in terms of true talent I think you sell yourself short if you’re astringenton your scheme. Obviously with a 3-4 you can’t play with a 240-pound nose guard but there’s got to be a balance because you want to play the bestplayers and you want to draft the best players.” How important is the draft to the overall success of a franchise?“You know, it’s as it was told to me once when I was first starting out, it’s the lifeblood to an organization. And I feel it is. They’re the players that you haveunder contract for four or five years. They grow together. I think it’s such a great thing that those guys who played for us last year did such a great joband they’re like brothers. They came in together, they had great success together and they create a bond. You want a family here. You can’t do it if it’s alltransient. You want your core to be from the draft and successful teams in the league have done that. But I also feel like you still have to make moves ifthey’re there to make if you can get better in the offseason. But those players all have to be cut from a collective cloth. I feel like that’s what we did. Guysthat love to play the game, guys that are physical and guys that aren’t just looking for that next paycheck, guys that want to win championships. That’swhy I feel like free agency should be used as a tool but your foundation is the draft.”Is the synergy between personnel and coaching better in the NFL now than it was 10 years ago, and on a scale from 1-10 how is the synergyhere?“I mean I’m biased, obviously I‘ve been other places. But I feel like the synergy between personnel and coaching staff I know with Chuck (Pagano) beingill that obviously helped galvanize us football-wise and from a personnel standpoint so maybe that had something to do with how great our synergy is.But I feel like we are a family and that was the goal from the beginning. The trust, loyalty and respect words didn’t just fall on deaf ears. Those were in-ternalized and guys actually lived by those this year, otherwise this thing would have fallen apart I’m convinced of that. How does a team with no headcoach, a rookie quarterback, 55 new faces, a new defense without the personnel for that defense get to win 11 games when their skipper is gone? Ob-viously the message and the foundation that he laid stuck and meant something because it brought us all together. So I’d say it’s a 10.” Any thoughts on the two Purdue guys? “They have talent. There’s no doubt about that. Obviously on the Purdue guys we’re going to do that and IU. Yes, they’re talented players and it’s nice tohave some Big 10 coaches on our staff that give us some good unique perspective on those guys from Illinois and Purdue so a lot of times your informationcould be different from team to team if you have some inside info.”
