So really said nothing. God I love NFL GMs
 
And in other news, the world is round and the sky is blue. A lot of nothing here. Hopefully, he is right about being confident, prepared, and ready to go...that will be really great to behold.

Exactly we all could have said all that- TBH if he said anything else I might be a little worried. He said the WR's that are injured are progressing well and won't be a factor so that probably translates into we are looking at the WR position!
 
Did anyone really think Hickey was going to give away the teams draft plans at the presser today ?
He said what we expected him to say .

I'm with Albert on the WR's. i like what we have but if one of the top guys falls to #19 and the guy they wanted is not there I would not be surprised if they took one. We can still get a O lineman and LB is the next two rounds.
 
Obviously results are yet to be determined, but I really like how confident Hickey seems with his process and approach. It seems like he's done this way longer than Ireland ever did, even though actual GM experience would say otherwise.
 
i don't even know why they have those things frankly...they're nothing but fluff
 
He said what I expected him to say which it nothing. I'm ready for the draft right now.

I would have rather had the strength & conditioning coach tellin us how Jordan, Thomas, Brenner, and Taylor are doing.

Why? Those coaches would lie to us just as much as Hickey did. They teach this to these guys in college. Coach Speak 101.

It's one of those, damned if you do, damned if you don't situations. If they don't do these pressers then there would be a bunch of people up in arms because they are not vocal enough.
 
I think one of Hickey's best traits is that he seems like a nice guy. I think that can go a long way when it comes to signing and dealing with players and with getting deals done with other teams in the league when it comes to trades. I think he is a breath of fresh air when you compare his style with Ireland. I do have to hand it to Ireland though, when it came to making trades he did a great job of getting the better end of the deal value wise. What Ireland paid to move up in last year's draft was highway robbery. He also got great value in the trade up for Daniel Thomas and for what he paid to acquire Reggie Bush.
 
Pretty happy with this press conference. Said absolutely nothing days before the draft.
