We felt very good about him. You try and work through the different scenarios. We saw him at the combine with the medical staff and we felt very good about where he is. I think he bench pressed 24 times even though he couldn’t lift much. We felt pretty strongly about taking Justin. (When asked if he considered Brady Quinn) We consider everybody I think he (Justin) will fit in very good with our guys We like having a lot of good defensive line men We wanted to add another guy to our group Good citizen, great man (said with a laugh) People in the atrium booed me (when talking about drafting Justin) we had calls from 5 different teams to trade down but none were good enough hes a spread out defensive line man we feel very good that he can play in any facet of the game hes a tough guy, now, hes a country kid, I think hes a tough guy That’s what the green bay packers is all about, about the fans and they care If they (fans) disagree with the decision that’s ok, if we believe we are doing the right thing we can take a few shots We’re gonna keep drafting here, whether theyre offensive players or defensive we’re gonna keep to our plan I have a defensive background, and I think you win championships with defense but certainly we pay attention to the offensive side of the ball Justin is a man’s man, hes a country kid from a town Great guy, humble, wants to play, wants to be good, understand what it takes in terms of hard work. We went back and did a lot of study from the 2005 season (for Justin) He’s kind of a long spread out guy but I think primarily he’ll be a tackle I was trying to quit them (the fans) booing me, I think he has the potential to be a single digit pick (what set him apart) we liked the way he played, good human being, good guy in the locker room, best football ahead of him We don’t draft based on needs, we don’t think that’s the best policy, the more good football players regardless of position the better off you are as a team Our doctors laid their hands on him, did the xrays and all those type of things, and he looked good"</blockquote>
