*On whether a quarterback is worth a top-five pick this year: “That’s what we’re [examining] now. Dave [Caldwell] and the scouts have taken a hard look at it and our coaches are extremely involved in it. We’re still gathering a bunch of information and the evaluation is never over – it will go up to draft day.”


*On Johnny Manziel: “You know me -- I love spirit. We drafted guys last year like Ace Sanders and Denard Robinson and Johnathan Cyprien, guys who have a lot of energy and spirit. And when I went to see Johnny work out and watched his tape, he plays with that same sense of spirit and he showed it off at his Pro Day. To talk to him and visit with him one-on-one, he’s very passionate about the game, very competitive and very unique.”


*On Khalil Mack: “We had a chance to visit with him … and just put on the Ohio State film and watch him compete and watch the energy level he plays at. He’s one of those guys you feel is going to play for a long time. Just extremely talented. There are so many different positions you can plug him into.”


*On Jadeveon Clowney: “First of all, when he walks into the room, you take notice of who he is as a person but physically and his appearance, you don’t see many guys built like him with that size, speed and agility. To sit down and talk to him and find out his passion for the game and how good he wants to be, you’re always looking for that guy who wants to be great. That comes through from him when you talk to him. He may need direction, but that’s our job as a coaching staff. He’s very hungry for that direction.”


*On Sammy Watkins: “Anytime you get an opportunity to draft somebody that can help put points on the board, you take a strong look at him and that’s what he does. Just a great person – he really lights up a room when he comes in. The quarterbacks, when they have an individual like Sammy to throw to, they light up and it affects the whole team.”
