Eric Williams writes about Mora's tough draft decisions to come. Mora defines who is an impact player.
“What’s important is that we don’t reach for a need necessarily – that we draft the best player for our team that we think can make an impact,” Mora said. “And impact doesn’t necessarily mean scoring touchdowns or breaking up passes. It might mean, you know, who would ever argue that (star offensive tackle) Walter Jones hasn’t made an impact?

“You typically wouldn’t say that’s an impact type of pick, but history says it is. So I think we just have a lot of things we have to think about. And hopefully we make the right decision.”
