This draft class has ordsprog

This draft class has been really helpful, not just the physical talent, but also the character of these rookies. And I don't know how they managed to sign these free agents. We didn't have much room under the cap, but they made things happen.

When I was in the pros, I compared the situation to college football. Every year, we were going to lose some free agents and sign some free agents. So it was like having a graduating class and a new recruiting class.

We've got the draft, and we'll find some college free agents and sign a veteran free agent in a spot where we think we need help.

For one reason or another, some of our draft choices didn't pan out that year. But some of these other [free-agent] guys did. In some cases, we kept the free agents over the draft choices. We could have kept the draft picks just to save face. But we really liked a lot of these guys, and they've helped us.

We've struggled playing defense, ... We really have. Not that we haven't tried to draft or sign free agents over the years. We've had problems with injuries. Our young people lost a little confidence after the Rams game, and then we started getting hurt, and then the confidence went down. And that can happen. But I like our guys.

[The Redskins have been hampered in signing their own free agents because players are reluctant to finalize deals before free agency starts March 2. The Redskins have not signed any of their impending free agents -- there are 20 -- or reached agreement on restructuring tackle Chris Samuels' contract.] The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now, ... They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.

We did consider that alternative, but in the totality, that wasn't for us. We made a decision that as far as Curtis Joseph and the other free agents available, the right option was to sign Burke.

This process will be very important, ... The first steps are very important. His behavior, his habits and then getting to the basketball aspects of it. The physical nature of the game, the quickness of the game, the pace of the game. All of it is going to hit him at once and this is just the first level. When you talk about [summer league] you're talking about free agents and rookies and guys who are just trying to make teams. The intensity level is going to be greater than anything he's experienced.

We still haven't decided yet who will play where. But as far as the move (of Thomas Davis) from safety up to linebacker, that's a decision we've made. Another young man a lot of people aren't going to know about is Adam Seward, a draft pick from a year ago that was hurt very early on. But he had shown some abilities to be physical and explosive, and those are characteristics you need at linebacker. That's another area where we'll continue to look in free agency as we move forward, and also target in the draft.

Free agency right now is the focus; our own free agents first, and then we'll move toward what could help us at certain positions. We'll rank them and put together our priority list. We'll try to address some needs. And then we'll focus on the draft.

That was a great class. A lot of great players came out of that draft. I don't think people are fully aware of the talent that came out of that draft.

The Steelers do it a little different. They like the guys they go with in the draft. I feel a little honored I was one of the free agents.

He was choosing agents and we got together and talked about that and the draft and the NFL and things like that, ... I didn't really advise him. We just talked. He's a good kid.

I have made a good faith gesture toward the organization by offering to move my roster bonus around if it will help clear more cap space to sign free agents. If I am not traded, I want to help coach (Brad) Childress make a serious run for the championship this year.

We've never been a big free-agency team because we don't believe that's the way to put a team together, exclusively. We believe that the draft will always be the main part of your team, but we also believe that you'll have to plug in the occasional free agent. In recent years, we haven't gone after the high-end market (players) because we've concentrated on keeping our own players, who may have been higher-end guys if they became free agents.
