1.  Does he think Lawrence is the best player?

If the answer is "yes" then proceed to question 2.

If the answer us "No" then end interview.

2.  What is his track record on drafting offensive linemen?

He's proven he can identify star caliber players at many positions  WR, RB, DL, LB?  Check.  But to the best of my recollection, he's never been able to build a strong OL.

I think being able to properly draft all positions is extremely difficult.

Belicheck is the absolutely worst drafter when it comes to WRs. By a long shot.

If Rick can draft all those other ones well, I’m good with it.

Having done a little research, I am reminded that he DID manage to draft Duane Brown at LT.  I didn't see many noteworthy guards acquired during his Houston tenure, but generallt he hit on a LT-the most important position, and he found Brown at pick 26, which is around the spot where our Rams pick will likely fall.  He seems to be the opposite of Caldwell.

He has hit really big on first round picks, though not every one, and for that matter, he hit on players at premium positions-QB Watson, LT Brown, Edge Clowney, Whitney Mercilus, J.J. Watt, Mario Williams, LB DeMeco Ryans).

But not so much with guards, CBs, and mid to late round picks.
