He's obviously one of the best centers to ever play the game. At the Dec. 15 news conference, Raiola said he hadn't even inquired about what his status in the draft might be. Sunday, Solich confirmed that he has delivered some information to Raiola from NFL contacts. I told him that we would get him in touch with some people in the NFL that he could visit with directly on the phone. Some scouts have reportedly projected Raiola as a first-round draft pick, but Solich said he wanted to make sure that Raiola received the best information possible.
All players can definitely get a lot of inaccurate information.
You just hope that the information a player goes with is probably the most accurate he can get. Solich said he's not making any plans for next year's line until Raiola announces his decision. Whether that be in either in a recruiting class or a junior college lineman to bring in or whether we'll move somebody, it's probably still a little bit early to think about that. As for Crouch, Solich said that there is a possibility his quarterback will have surgery on his shoulder, although he said he'd like to have one more discussion with Crouch before a final decision is made. If anything is to be done, it will be in the very near future, Solich said.
