Quote:I wouldn't read anything into comments about personnel needs this close to the draft.  There's nothing to gain by divulging it and draft strategy to jeopardize. 

 

I just find it odd that Marrone, Coughlin and Caldwell have all painted a very positive picture about the work they've put into evaluating this roster together, but you think they somehow weren't able to walk away from that on the same page? 

 

These are three professionals with a common goal. They are perfectly capable of coming to a consensus agreement on the team's top needs.  It's not some mysterious riddle floating out there in the ether.  They created a value system for every player on the roster and then computed the results.
