Guenther: "We draft cover guys and rushers. That’s real important. That’s always been our philosophy."
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 29, 2016
DBs coach Coyle: Put him on the board and went through things. Tried to give him some of the more complex things. He did a good job with it.

WJ3: Says he definitely thought the Steelers were coming for him. By all accounts, #Bengals swiped him from the rival.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) April 29, 2016
WJ3 didn't go to Chicago for draft: "Wanted to be around my family, people that love me."
