00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Alrighty, we uh as an organization really excited about about

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: the draft.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: It's been a really cool process. As it is every year.

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: You don't want to take the opportunity to thank a

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: few people, you know, our scouts were We've got tremendous

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,040

00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: their work ethic. You know, those guys are led by

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: Adam Peters and our college Scouting director, Director Tarakaman, have

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: just been fabulous this this process and and ever since

Speaker 1: And uh, I want to really commend those guys for

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: their leadership and their example for our staff. And uh

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: we we are extremely I put our college staff against

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: anyone and along the same lines, h R and D Department,

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: we lost a couple of key guys a couple of

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: years ago with Quasi leaving and Demetrious Washington, and we're

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: we're really fortunate that that we haven't skipped to beat.

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Matt Plonsky leads there our R and D department in

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: a really cool way. And then of course our coaches,

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: Kyle and our coaches, they're very integral to our process.

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: And uh, you.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Know this year, Uh, it's it's kind of cool because

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: it's a seamless process, that's a well oiled machine now.

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: So when guys like Steve Wilkes come in, they learn

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: real quick the way we do things. And it's been

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: awesome to have some some new set l eyes and

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: and uh, in a couple of different instances with Steve

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: and Clint Kubiak, some some different perspectives in.

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: The in the meetings as well.

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, Frankie g h Frank Gore sat and

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of meetings, didn't say much, but you know,

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: sat back and took a lot of a lot of

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: mental notes and and uh, that's been cool to share

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the process with him. And uh, I think we're ready

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna have much to do on Thursday,

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, but we'll continue to work right up till

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: we first pick.

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: And you know, I've said this many times, and I'm always.

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: An optimist the way I look things, but I think

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: this isn't just being optimistic.

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: I think it's a reality.

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: The if you ask kind of what the themes of

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: this draft, I think one of them is the quality

48
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: of depth in this draft, and so I think that

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: sets up well for you know, our first pick being

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: at ninety nine, then having eleven of them. The quality

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: of depth is really a signature of this draft.

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 2: For me.

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good football players and a lot

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: that we like, and so that excites me and that

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: excites everybody, and we've got to have a productive draft.

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: You always have to be infusing youth into your team,

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: and quality youth, and you know, we're we're excited about

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: the prospects of being able to do that.

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: And with that, I'll open it up for questions.

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: This is.

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: Not necessarily a draft question, but I guess it is

62
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: as far as the timing. What's been your level of

63
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: transparency with Trey, as far as what's transpired, as far

64
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: as teams reaching out to you, what have you told them?

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: Where's a stand?

66
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know, generally, Matt, you know our policy,

67
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: my policy if we're actively trying to trade a player

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: not trying to, or or if we're having discussions, for instance,

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: last year with Mike McGlinchey, it became a parent that

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: a year away from that, it was going to be

71
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: tough to re sign with Trent Williams in the building

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: and the reality of our roster. You know, I brought

73
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Mike McGlinchey up and said, hey, Mike, I never you know,

74
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: from being a player myself, I never want you to

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: hear from anyone else that you're being shopped. So I'm

76
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: telling you we are going to talk to some teams

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: if we're if we're fielding inbound calls. You know, I

78
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: think I'd be doing that every single day if I'm

79
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: if I'm telling every single player, I do think with

80
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: the sensitivity of of Trey's position, maybe a little different.

81
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: So Trey and I have talked and we're on the

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: same page, and Trey knows exactly where the situation is.

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: His mindset is all about competing, and I think that's

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: exactly where his mindset should be. We're excited about the

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: position he's put himself in, with the work he's done

86
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: this offseason to number one, get healthy, number two improve

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: upon some things that he really wanted to improve upon.

88
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: And you know, we don't get to to watch all

89
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: of his workouts. I've got a good, good view, and

90
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: he's definitely excited and I think he has reason to be.

91
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: And you know, so, yes, there has been good communication

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: and we're excited about you know, Trey's ability to go

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: compete for a job and.

94
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 3: Characterized the calls that you get about him. Is it

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: offers made or is it just kind of feeling you

96
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: guys out?

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: You know, I think there's there's a lot of smoke.

98
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: Really, it hasn't been extremely active and it's not like

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: we've put it out there that hey, we're taking offers

100
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: for Call one eight hundred, you know, like it's that's

101
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: not been the process. You know, people's job in this

102
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: is to ask questions. Has that been Has that happened

103
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: on a couple occasions, sure, but hasn't been that sub substantive.

104
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: And and you know, like I.

105
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: Said, we're focused as his Trey on his ability to

106
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: compete and play an integral role on this team. Last

107
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: year we needed we needed five, and so we value

108
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: every single one of those guys and we're excited about

109
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 1: our group.

110
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: We really are.

111
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 5: It's reached out to you about potentially moving him if

112
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: he doesn't get an opportunity to play No.

113
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: Frank Corps I mean, is that sort of laying the

114
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: groundwork for him joining the front office or the scouting

115
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: staff at some point. And then you also mentioned Turk

116
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: and Justin.

117
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: Have any of one of those guys.

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: Sort of filled the role that Ran had been playing

119
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: in previous.

120
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Tracks, really, I mean they're more focused on the on

121
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: the college side of things. Now, Rand did did play

122
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: a part in our college. Rand's a really solid evaluator

123
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: and had a good feel I think one of Rand's

124
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: most unique talents. He's got a great feel for people.

125
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: And so Rand was tremendous with the thirty visits with

126
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: the combine just getting to know people and having a

127
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: great feel for that. So we collectively those guys are

128
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: skilled at that as well, but different roles, Matt, but

129
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: they're they're both incredibly valuable to to our organization. And

130
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: you know we've kind of, you know, made may do

131
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: without Rand, but you're gonna you're gonna feel it when

132
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: you lose a guy like that and just misshapping around here.

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: He's one of the one of the good people that

134
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: I've worked with, So you know, they're Oh and then Frank,

135
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years ago we had stay

136
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: in here. Uh, Frank showed an interest in coming in here,

137
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, like I said, somebody had made

138
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: made me, made that opportunity available to me years ago,

139
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: and I was really grateful for it. And so if

140
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: someone's willing to put the time in and as given

141
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: as much as he has to the organization, then absolutely

142
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: we're going to open our arms. And and you know, Frank,

143
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: I think he learned a lot through the process the.

144
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 6: Owners of meetings that you would know more about Brock

145
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 6: after about twelve weeks.

146
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: I know we're not quite there yet, but just having

147
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: him in the building the last week, kind of what

148
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: is his mindset bit and what have you know?

149
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: See so far?

150
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Well, you know, he just what we expected. He's attacking

151
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: each day. I think he's focused on each day.

152
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: You know.

153
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Doctor Meister had said that like an inflection point will

154
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: be twelve weeks because that's when he's supposed to start throwing.

155
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: So but right now he's just really focused on Max

156
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: and each day. I think with rehab, having gone through

157
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: it myself, there's a physical component to it. There's also

158
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: a psychological and emotional and mental component, and part of

159
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: that is just waking up and get you know, really

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: being where you're at. And I think that that's what

161
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Brock has done a really good job of. And you know,

162
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of people reaching out saying, you know,

163
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: the fives at the Giants game were really encouraging, and

164
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, but I think what's more encouraging is what

165
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm hearing every day from our people from Brock. He's

166
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: making great progress. You know, we're we're you know, as

167
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I have it, we're six weeks out, just finished that

168
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: six weeks and really doing a good job with it.

169
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 5: So he is saying that he wasn't really sure, honestly,

170
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: if you'll be able to play this year?

171
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: Is that on the table or is it guys taking

172
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: it one day at a time.

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's more so Brock being Brock

174
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: and understanding that he's got to be exactly where he's at.

175
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Where he's at, and it doesn't do him or anyone

176
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: else a lot of good to be speculating about what's

177
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: to come. And Brock's just jumping in each and every

178
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: day and really doing well.

179
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: Go ahead, is he on schedule?

180
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: As far as.

181
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: He's doing really well, He's doing really well. And as

182
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I understand it, he's he's definitely on schedule, hitting all

183
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: the checkpoints and doing very very We're very encouraged by

184
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: his rehab.

185
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 7: Eric, if you already covered this in your initial answer,

186
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 7: but is it accurate to say your expectation Islands is

187
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 7: going to be on the roster threat.

188
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, absolutely, I expect Trey to be here.

189
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: And you know, we're excited about Trey's ability to compete

190
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: and what he can do for our franchise, just as

191
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: we were when we drafted Trey.

192
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: And and you know, I think the.

193
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Only thing that's changed this offseason is that Trey's gone

194
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: and got himself healthy. He was injured last year. He's

195
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: done a really good job of doing that. He's done

196
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: some different things in terms of his training this offseason.

197
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: He's very encouraged by that.

198
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: And we'll see when we get an opportunity to get

199
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: out there on the field with him. But we have

200
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: every reason to be encouraged as well.

201
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 8: You're looking at that position in the drafts, till John

202
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 8: in terms of bringing in another maybe low round draft

203
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 8: pick to see what he can do.

204
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: We'll do our due diligence.

205
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: I know a lot's been made about who we've met

206
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: with and you know, the only thing I'd say to you,

207
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: some of those things are true, some of those are

208
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: ours just doing our job.

209
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: We're always going to be thorough.

210
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: We're always going to study sometimes that's for three four

211
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: years down the line. We want to get to know

212
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: each and every position and quarterbacks.

213
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: No different teams are calling on.

214
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 9: Trey, Obviously, something would have to be substantial, fair to say,

215
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 9: to change your stance on then. And how does it

216
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 9: factor in kind of with the uncertainty of.

217
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 8: Brock that you have to take that into account when.

218
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 9: Having those discussions.

219
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Well, I think you definitely have to take that into account.

220
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: And you know, we, uh, we've.

221
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: Approached it that way.

222
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: As good as we feel about Brox rehab, I think

223
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: we have to prepare for every scenario. But more so,

224
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: we're just excited about having three really quality quarterbacks in

225
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: our room and letting those guys go out and compete

226
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: and buy for a job. And uh, you know, we're

227
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: we're excited about that.

228
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: Reached out to you about potentially treating for Brandon Ayuk

229
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: and is that something you would consider?

230
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: You know, there's I'm not going to get into specifics

231
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: on people. We love Brandon Ayuk and Uh, you know,

232
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: excited about Brandon being a part of this team.

233
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: So I'll just leave it at that.

234
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 7: Regarding are you, I mean with his if you pick

235
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 7: up as with your option, what that number will be

236
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 7: next year? And Deebo's number you talked about you can't

237
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 7: keep the Lynchet Andrew Onney. Is it DeForest Buckner Ark

238
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 7: Armstead situation?

239
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

240
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 2: How do you do that?

241
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 7: Like, I know we're talking about this play four, but

242
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 7: is that something you can creatively navigate having both those

243
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 7: guys remain.

244
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: On the roster next season? Yeah, it's a good question.

245
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: It's a fair question because I understand the line of

246
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: thinking you can't keep everyone. You know, we're trying to

247
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: do something special this year, and Brandon's going to be

248
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: a big part of that, you know, and and beyond

249
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: it as well, And so yes, you always have to

250
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: think out a few years. But we're really excited about Brandon.

251
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Feel like he made another big step next year, and

252
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: I think the best is yet to come, and so

253
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: we want them being a part of it. And at

254
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: some point, yeah, you have to figure things out, and

255
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I guess we'll take that as it comes.

256
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: But as of right now and into the.

257
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Future, We're really excited about Brandon Aiyuk and where he's

258
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: at as a pro, the work he's done to develop

259
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: as a pro and and become, you know, one of

260
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: our core players here.

261
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 9: You don't have to make those officials till next week,

262
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 9: but have you made the fifth year decisions on on Brandon?

263
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: And you know you always like to get through a draft,

264
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, I want to publicly before I publicly disclose

265
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: that which will happen.

266
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: I mean, we have to buy Monday, right after the draft.

267
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk with each one of those guys

268
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: individually before I do that, so that will be forthcoming.

269
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 8: While doing as ever, like coming back in the season.

270
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: JK is doing great. He uh, this is it. He's

271
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: really in a good spot.

272
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean he looks like a h he.

273
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: Looks tremendous, you know, uh he Uh, he's preparing.

274
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: He's excited about his preparation.

275
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a good feeling when you've battled injuries

276
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: year after year and you're in a healthy spot, and

277
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: you can see it in the way he's walking around here.

278
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: He's he's just very encouraged and in a really good

279
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: place and and I think he's earned that right He's

280
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: worked really hard to be here, and I'm I think

281
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: we're all really encouraged by it and excited to see

282
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: what can come the.

283
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 6: Interior A line at the owners meetings at Feliciano.

284
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 4: Is he going to be competing for a starting spot,

285
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 4: maybe that right guard spot.

286
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: I think that's open to him.

287
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: You know, we rotated Spencer and Brunskill last year. John's

288
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: a guy who started a lot of games here in

289
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: the last few years. I think he gives us tremendous

290
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: versatility at guard and center.

291
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: Around the league.

292
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: It's kind of known he's one of those glue guys,

293
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys you want in your room, and

294
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: so he became a priority for us in free agency.

295
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: I felt very fortunate that we were able to come

296
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: out of free agency with John a part of our team,

297
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: especially once we lost Danny. Those guys are incredibly valuable. Now,

298
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: haven't said that. I thought Spencer acquitted himself really well.

299
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: He's a really talented young man, and I think it's

300
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: only going to get better, and it's always great to

301
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: have competition and know you have someone there that if

302
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: something were to happen at either spot, and I mean

303
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: all three really you've got a guy who's tested, who's

304
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: battle tested, who has done it, and so John was

305
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: really a nice addition for us, and and you know,

306
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: really really cool to have added him to our group,

307
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: into the team.

308
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: It's doing well.

309
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're you know this phase, they can

310
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: meet and I think they're having great meetings.

311
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: He's out there throwing with our guys and doing really well.

312
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 9: The last few years, you've been able to kind of

313
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 9: plan for the future, you know, with banks who find

314
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 9: the guys that maybe they don't have to play right

315
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 9: away and.

316
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: Then the next year can can step in.

317
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 9: Does that change at all how you evaluate guys in

318
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 9: terms of, you know, maybe this guy's learning curve is

319
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 9: a little longer, but we have that LEAs to do that,

320
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 9: or how does that kind of maybe any.

321
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: You know what I think in both those instances, I

322
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: don't I don't believe looking back that we said, hey,

323
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: this is a guy who we see starting two years

324
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: from now, you know, but we're not going to put

325
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: guys out there until we feel like they're ready and

326
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: they've earned that job. And so those are two occasions

327
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: with those guys who've turned into a really good play

328
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: Aaron had to do some things kind of rework in

329
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: his body, and he took on that challenge and and

330
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: did a tremendous job of it and uh, really had

331
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: a solid year, Huff. We've known this guy as a playmaker.

332
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: He had a couple of people in front of him.

333
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: This year he earned it and you know, had an

334
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: All Pro year, and so we're excited to know that.

335
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there are.

336
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Times sometimes, especially with this roster, this roster, a lot

337
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: of spots are are filled. We're always going to add

338
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: to that and add competition, and sometimes it is Yeah,

339
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: we could we could see this guy being a starter

340
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: in year two. But we like drafting players we believe

341
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: can go play right now. And is that more difficult

342
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: when you're when your first picks at ninety nine?

343
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: Sure?

344
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: And is that more difficult with a roster that's constructed

345
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: like ours where a lot of the spots are somewhat

346
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: spoken for sure? But we want to continue to add

347
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: players who add to the competition and uh, you know,

348
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: make us a better.

349
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 6: Football team to the end of the draft that it's

350
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 6: open to you to take four or five of them,

351
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 6: you know, and go get someone you really want. How

352
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 6: do you balance that with also wanting just a lot

353
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 6: of picks just so you.

354
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 10: Can hit some more.

355
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's something you have to you have

356
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: to take. You know, we've had drafts where we're incredibly active,

357
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: and last year we didn't make one move that wasn't

358
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: for lack of try. And you know, we tried to

359
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: move around, nothing came to fruition. I think a lot

360
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: of that's just sitting there and it's it's kind of

361
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: painful to do when you're sitting there, just as it

362
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: was last year we picked at sixty one. It's a

363
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: lot of sitting and waiting and seeing names go off

364
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: that you really like, and then you know, I think

365
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: what you start doing is saying, hey, if all the

366
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: players we like are starting to go okay, now, is

367
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: this an opportunity for us to move up and go

368
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: get one of the one of the last few that

369
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: we really have a high grade on. Those things can

370
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: factor in, But you know, I mentioned the quality of

371
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: depth on this draft.

372
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: I really believe at ninety nine, at one oh one,

373
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: one oh.

374
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: Two one, there's gonna be players we really like and

375
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: want to add to our team. And that has me encouraged.

376
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: Someone who could compete it right tackle.

377
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 5: Do you see more as.

378
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: An interior off Probably more as an interior. But he

379
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: is a guy.

380
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: When we speak of him, we talk about five five

381
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: position flex.

382
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Nick has that in him.

383
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: Nick, just talking to our strength coaches, he's a guy

384
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: really having a having a great offseason. He's just been

385
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: here the entire time, making a lot of progress in

386
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: terms of his strength, his explosion. He's the right type

387
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: of mindset, and he's a really good talent. I'm excited

388
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: about his future offense.

389
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 8: Love one and signing the other Nick in the next

390
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 8: three months. And is it a non starter the team's

391
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 8: call to ask about his trade availability.

392
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: That hotline's closed. That that never opened.

393
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: So you know, as for the other thing, we're gonna

394
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: focus on this draft and then you know, I've stated

395
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: many times that's a priority for this offseason.

396
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: History says that that.

397
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: You know, we have a really good, you know, track

398
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: record of doing that and making that come to come

399
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: to uh fruition. And you know, I'm excited about working

400
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: on that when the when the time comes.

401
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 3: As usual, still training hand, yes.

402
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, doing what the boss do.

403
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 9: Your track record of finding talent in the kind of

404
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 9: middle rounds third through seventh. Can you shed light on

405
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 9: what it is that has made you guys so successful

406
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 9: finding guys who are you know, starters and even stars.

407
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think, uh, you know, I really

408
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: believe it's it's collaboration.

409
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 2: I believe it's.

410
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: When you're when you're personnel and your coaching staff are

411
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: in lockstep and there's constant communication, there's constant challenging of

412
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: each other's views. Hey, we really like this guy. Okay,

413
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: we didn't see it like that. Let's see if we

414
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: can get there. I think we really take pride in

415
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: doing that, and we do it from the top up,

416
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: bond down. Kyl and myself spend a ton of time

417
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: watching players together, and so I think when you do that,

418
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: and you do that throughout the draft, that gives you

419
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity to really hit throughout the draft at any pick.

420
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's something we've done. I think one

421
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: of the things too, we forced ourselves to do early

422
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: on is really not just be vague about what we

423
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: wanted each and every position, but really talk about the

424
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: traits we want at each position, both physically and mentally,

425
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: and in the spirit we call it, you know, of

426
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: each position, and so I think we've done a nice

427
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: job of defining that so that when you're in those meetings,

428
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: everyone knows who's a Niner. And when you have that

429
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: as a starting point, I think you can start finding

430
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: those guys.

431
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: So we aren't perfect.

432
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: We've had our share of misses, but I do I'm

433
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: proud of our track record and hopefully that continues because

434
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: we got a lot of lot right there this year.

435
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 7: Figure back, you know that, like what's a Niner? Sevent

436
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 7: and you guys took Joe Williams and you were like,

437
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 7: he wasn't initially on your draft board, Jamie Keller Wills

438
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 7: there and just you personally were like aggressiveness as far

439
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 7: as tackling I mean, just speaking for you, have you

440
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 7: identified more like as far as football character and what

441
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 7: you believe in? I mean, whether you've had the seventeen

442
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 7: did it and you've kind of established since then?

443
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's I do think it's an evolving deal

444
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: as to as to exactly what we are and who

445
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: we want. But I can tell you that the bedrock

446
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: of those things we want tough, dependable, fast, You know,

447
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: we don't we don't need rocket scientists, but we need smart,

448
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: smart football players. We want people that are contagiously competitive,

449
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, do you make people around you better because

450
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: you're so darned intent upon getting better and competing each

451
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: every day. Those are the kind of guys that play well.

452
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: And then we like Phis players and I think such

453
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: that we play with such a physical mentality. I think

454
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: our mentality is a lot about attacking on both sides

455
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: of the ball and on special teams, such that when

456
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: you have someone who's not a fit, it stands out

457
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: you don't you don't really have to. So I do

458
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: think that when we've missed, uh, it's been more that

459
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: spirit part than it has been the talent. The talent

460
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: we're pretty good and identifying. I think it's probably the spirit,

461
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: and so we spend a lot of our focus on

462
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: trying to learn as much.

463
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: And that's where the scouts. You really have to rely

464
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: on the scouts.

465
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: To get to know these players over a course of time,

466
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: and then sometimes you have the opportunity to meet them

467
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: yourself and you put as much time as you can there.

468
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 10: So, yeah, we're look at two how do you weigh

469
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 10: you know, the best player you've got, you know on

470
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 10: the board. And also relation to you know where you

471
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 10: guys need immediate help, where you need help a year

472
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 10: from now. What's the organizational philosophy I guess, not just

473
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 10: on those picks, but just realm the draft.

474
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've certainly identified. I think as a starting point,

475
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: you have to be incredibly thorough because you just don't

476
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: know who who might fall for whatever reason. So you

477
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: can't just to scount all the people you think are

478
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: going to be gone by ninety nine, and we haven't.

479
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: We've been in very thorough.

480
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: And then you know, Matt, what I talked about, you know,

481
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 1: the things that we covet from multiple different perspectives, and

482
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: then a lot of it is who's going to be there.

483
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: You know, last year, I can tell you we never

484
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: thought Drake Jackson would be there when we picked. There

485
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: was another guy who we liked along with with Drake,

486
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: and both of them were there, and we never would

487
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: have thought that both of them would have been there

488
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: at sixty one. So that's another great lesson that you

489
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: just have to prepare for everything.

490
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: Some of it's about, you know, you know, position needs

491
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: as we see it.

492
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have priorities on what we've identified, but ultimately

493
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: you want to take football players that are gonna make

494
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: your team, going to be around here for years to

495
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: come and make you a better team. And so kind

496
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: of a combination of all those things is how we

497
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: take it as as it comes and gonna be a

498
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: long wait watching a lot.

499
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 2: Of players that you really appreciate go.

500
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: But I am I keep saying it because I am

501
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: truly confident that that we'll come up with some players

502
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: that we really like there and that are going to

503
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: help us right away and into the future.

504
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 8: One more quarterback question, Yeah, how throw were you guys?

505
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 8: Did you look into Lamar Jackson? And is that a possibility?

506
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: And also, you know you you look into everything, and

507
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: we seem to be linked to each and everything.

508
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: I can tell you.

509
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a how convicted we are on brock

510
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: on this current group of guys that you know, why

511
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: you're not doing your job if you don't look into

512
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: things a lot of those things, I think you're limited

513
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: by the way our rosters set up, you know. And

514
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: the other thing is you're you know, what's your motivation?

515
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: And while those those players, there's there's more than that

516
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: than just Lamar. There's tremendous players, MVP type players. We

517
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: really like our guys, and we like where we're at.

518
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: We like our complete roster and how they fit for

519
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: multiple reasons, and we're excited about that group.

520
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: So I'll just leave it at that. Yeah, all right,

521
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: we'll see you this weekend. Thank you, guys,
