2010, Thompson on OT Bryan Bulaga

Q: Was it a startling development that he was available?
Startling? No, I mean I've been through a lot of drafts, as most of you guys have and there are always surprises. We were a little surprised when Bryan was still available, and we felt like it was a very good value pick for us.

Q: Are you going to look at starting him inside or at the tackle position?
We'll let the coaches do that. But it's my understanding we're going to put him at tackle and whether it's left or right or whatever, we'll figure that out as we go along, but he's going to be a good guy to add to our group.

Q: What do you like about his makeup and the way he plays the game?
I like his makeup very much. He's a finisher, he's a tough guy. He's athletic, he's got great size. Loves football, real gung-ho type attitude. He's the real deal, I think.
