Andy Reid's Press Conference

Bryan Smith:

Defensive end.  Great speed.  Rushing the passer.  Great fit for what we're trying to do defensively.  "Fastballs."

Mike McGlynn:

OT at Pittsburgh but also could play G or C.  Andy interested because he could play all three.  "Same mode" as Jon Runyan.  "Nasty streak" and will fit in well here.

Quintin Demps:

Played S and CB.  More INTs than anyone in this draft.  Has a knack for making INTs and a play on the football (BALL SKILLS).  Last UTEP guy who played for the Eagles was pretty good.  (Seth Joyner)

Jack Ikegwuonu:

Would have been a #1 pick if he hadn't torn up his knee.  Won't play this year.  Did have a legal incident that I checked out and we think that will pass and we'll see how that works out.

Questions/Answers:

Reid is "counting Booker" as one of yesterday's "three picks" who all are "smart guys" and "classroom smart" and "they love to play the game."

May or may not use all draft picks.  Doesn't know yet.

Is Smith too small: "I don't worry about that."  Linemen have a tendency to gain weight, especially guys from smaller schools who are a little bit lighter.  I care about how they play, heckuva motor and great instincts.
