On drafting “bigger” cornerbacks:
“There are bigger receivers, and so you want guys who can match up physically. But we always try to evaluate a cornerback with, 'Could he cover Antonio Brown?' So size is not necessary to cover Antonio Brown, but superior athletic ability and skill is what’s required. That’s the standard we try to use. Could this guy cover Antonio? If the answer is negative, and while there are a lot of guys who might fall into that category, that’s more of what we’re looking for than just stereotyping and saying, ‘We need length.’”
