Moving the Cleveland Browns was just unheard of,

I'm where I wanted to be. Not taking anything away from the Cleveland Browns ... but I'm a Bengal, and I like staying in Cincinnati. It turns out that I got my wish.

It's too early to really give you much of an assessment. I think he carries his pads well and has got real good balance. But that's just TV scouting. Those things are things you can see by just watching him play. But he's not even the best sophomore in our opinion.

I'm dealing with some guys of my vintage. Rod Woodson was a friend of mine before he became a player of mine. That's the part of this that will always be uncomfortable.

Darrell Jackson is one hell of a receiver, and he was a third. You can't make blanket observations in the draft. You're not doing your work the right way when you do. Does Florida's track record force you to focus in even harder to make sure you're making the right decision? Yes. But that's what we're getting paid for.

It's long been said if somebody every challenged [the draft eligibility rule], they probably would win it. But I knew the league would fight it tooth and nail. The company line that I hear is that the league feels it has a good chance on appeal.
