Going on my seventh year in the league and just looking at the roster, the opportunity was there for me to be able to come in and add something to this defense.”'

'Day 3 picks of note beyond that: G/T Dion Dawkins, who will have a chance to win a job in camp; and QB Nathan Peterman, who slid into Round 5 but could be groomed as a possible Tyrod Taylor replacement down the line.‚Äã McDermott will love LB Matt Milano(No. 163)—he’s a throwback-type linebacker.'

'“He is sharp. He is in the channel, I think, of success. I think he’s going to be a real good pro quarterback,” Gruden said of Peterman. “I think any team in the league, you can cater your offense for Peterman. He’s a lot more athletic than people think. And he can handle an extensive amount of football, so the teams that are really ambitious with deep, thick playbooks, those are the teams that Peterman would fit in with. But I hope he gets with one of those guys that can really stretch him and challenge him.”'
