Bill is very analytical. Bill is all about not falling in love with a player. Bill is looking at value. He wants the correct definition of the player and the correct value of the player. When he determines that, then he understands where he can move around in the draft [with trades]. … His whole approach is value – ‘if I trade down, I get better value.’ But the key component as to why he’s traded down all these years was the rising cost of rookie draft picks. He did not want to bring somebody into his locker room that was going to be in the top 5 payroll of his team.

Great stuff from Big Vince via:

Vince Wilfork Unfiltered

Vince on who he would start (Mark Sanchez or Tim Tebow) if he were Rex Ryan.

“Tebow. He’s a winner. He’s proven. I mean, I’ll tell you what, both have positives and negatives. You really can’t go wrong. I’m glad I’m not in that boat. Put it like that.” 

Vince on what part of the NFL he would like to change if he could.

“One thing I’d get rid of is the penalties, certain penalties. I can do without them. You have a guy that’s making $30 million a year (the quarterback), but you can’t touch him. C’mon, let’s be for real now. Me as a defensive lineman, it’s OK for somebody to hold me up, and another guy to come and chop my legs, and I can’t protect myself. I can do without that. That’s probably the main thing. Being able to hit a quarterback good. We need that. We need that back right there.

“But you hurt the franchise of your team if you’re allowed to tee off on the quarterback. Cuz you know, quarterbacks are wimpy.” 

Ladies and gentlemen, Vince Wilfork.

I really like Shea McClellin, and I put out there on Twitter and wrote about it as well – as he develops in the NFL, there will be similarities to Clay Matthews. He’s a great pass rusher, but he’s just scratching the surface of his potential. He’s got really great lateral movement, and he’s naturally athletic. He was used as a moveable chess piece in a lot of sub packages at Boise State. I think Shea McClellin will be a better pass rusher in the NFL.
