1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Scoring offense this year didn't have a lot of good

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: moments stretches during the stretch. How much the draft of

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas an.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: Anecdote to that.

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: I think that's a better question for coach.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: But you know, I think when you go into the draft,

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: you try to identify players that can help you, you know,

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: on on either side of the ball. You know, Brian's

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: a young man that I think he had twenty two

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: targets over twenty plus yards and on and scored fifteen

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: touchdowns on those, you know, so he's an explosive athlete.

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: He can help open up the field a little bit,

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: certainly for a younger receiver for Trevor to build around

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: in our offense to build around. So there were a

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: lot of positives to the pick. You know, a lot

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: of time and energy went into it. So feel good

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: about where we're at.

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Doug, you love to talk about that. How let you

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: hope that you will add juice this?

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's the you know, that's the the idea

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 4: right when you when you when you select good players,

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: you know in the draft, I mean that's that's you know,

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: you're adding you're adding a skilled receiver, you're adding depth,

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: you're adding a guy that you know, has an element

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 4: of speed that that we we haven't had, you know,

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 4: and and probably since Calvin you know, last year. And

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: it really you know, once he once we get him

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 4: in here too, and and you know, really get our

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: hands on him, get him into the playbook, you know,

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: in a couple of weeks and and.

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 5: Really see how we can use him.

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: I think it can only be a great asset for

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: us on offense to uh, you know, uh not only

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: open up the field, but I think open up some

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 4: other elements of the offense. Great size, I mean great size,

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: you know big, he's tall, has a really good route tree.

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: I can run all the routes definitely, as you've seen,

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: you know, he can take take the top off.

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: I mean he's gonna see some different coverages too.

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: You know, he's gonna see you know, a little bit

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: better secondary guys. I mean the SEC has you know,

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: good good coverage coverage guys. But he's gonna see you know,

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 4: more defenses, different defenses, and so those are those are

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: things as coaches we.

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 5: You know, we'll scheme up for him.

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 6: Can you talk about the processing further back?

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: Well again you you go into it and I've always said,

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: you listen to the board, and we were sitting at

49
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: sixteen I think around pick fifteen sixteen, we started getting

50
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: some calls, you know, and the board was looked good.

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: You know, we were in good shape with the needs

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: that we had and the players that we had targeted.

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: Taking a look at the teams that were between seventeen

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: and twenty three what their needs were.

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: We just felt the board was solid.

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: You know, it was well worth picking up three extra

57
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: picks and really getting one of you know, one of

58
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: the players that we covered it in the draft.

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: For.

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 6: How much was going into this process identifying that number

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 6: one wide receiver.

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: A priorities for you Well, again, we we don't look

63
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: at it as far as needs until we get to

64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: this stage later in the process. We just try to

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: stack the board as natural as we can, regardless of

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: what our needs are. You know, we don't try to

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: overinflate valuable player just because it's a position of need.

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: You know, you just recognize if you're going to take a.

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: Need and it's it's not that the value that some

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: of the other players are that you're reaching for it.

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: And this was a situation, like I said, the board

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: the board really looked good for us at seven at sixteen,

73
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: and we kind of knew what Seattle was gonna do.

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: We had a good beat on what they would where

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: they were leaning, you know, so when we got the

76
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: call to move back to twenty three, we were just

77
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: He looked at me, I looked at him, and we said, yeah,

78
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: let's do it.

79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: It was kind of like last year him.

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: As the missing piece of this offense. Big tall guy

81
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: can use you know, red zone day that kind of stuff,

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: and a big play guy down the field and you

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: stretches things a little bit more.

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, those are all things I think we'll

85
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: we'll we'll figure out when we get him here too.

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 4: But what we've seen on film, I think that's you know,

87
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 4: I think that's the the reality of what he can do.

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: But as soon as we get him in here and

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 4: and get him get him in our system, you know,

90
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a different offense obviously than than he

91
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: had at LSU, and a different route. He can be

92
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: running some different routes you know, that'll utilize his his

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: speed and of uh, you know, athleticism.

94
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 5: So I think it's it's early to tell.

95
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 4: But at the same time, We're excited to get him

96
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: in here in a couple of weeks and and get

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: him working with the with the offense, which Trevor, if

98
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: he was the.

99
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: Ticket seventeen, he was going to be the pick at seventeen.

100
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: You know.

101
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: So, like we said, now, there were other players involved,

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: and we just felt, you know that the way the

103
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: board looked and where the needs were the teams in

104
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: between us, we felt we had a chance. Uh and

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: you know, there's risk, there's reward, you know, you make

106
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: the move back. But we we felt we were gonna

107
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: get a really good football player that we had high

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: on our board with the move back. But fortunate that

109
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: you know, Brian was still there, the process.

110
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: Working out like that back in back years, still being

111
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: able to get the guy you want.

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: They just kind of, I guess how rare.

113
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: It is that to happen, you know, in your experience.

114
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know what the other thirty two,

115
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: the other thirty one teams.

116
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 3: Look at, you know, so I have no idea.

117
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: You know, again, we we had a group of players

118
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: that we were really you know, coveting, you know, so

119
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: it wasn't just one guy. But he's certainly a guy

120
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: that we had targeted for a while. And again you

121
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: just you let the board speak and you follow, you

122
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: follow your gut.

123
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: Was there a moment in the process, maybe on the

124
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: top thirty visit, where you two guys kind of looked

125
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: at each other said, you really want Bryan Thomas and Jacksonville?

126
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: Well, I think throughout the process. You know, Coach has

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: been a big supporter from day one, you know, when

128
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: he when he put on the film, you know, and

129
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: he's a guy that you know, we are scouts identified

130
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: early in the process.

131
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: This isn't a guy that climbed up the board late.

132
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: He's he's always been somebody that we had a lot

133
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: of appreciation for his skill set. And like Coach mentioned earlier,

134
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: he's a guy that brings a skill set that we

135
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: haven't necessarily had to the level that he brings in

136
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: terms of he's forty six oh two seven, he's he's

137
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: uh two hundred nine pounds and he runs sub four

138
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: four you know, mid four threes. So and he's got

139
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: the production to back it up. Like I said earlier,

140
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: I think twenty two targets over twenty yards and fifteen

141
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: of them ended up in touch stones, uh, and a

142
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: seventeen plus average, So you know, we're just looking forward

143
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: to getting them in here and getting our hands out

144
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: and going to work.

145
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: How important is it to continue building around Trevor?

146
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously Mitch.

147
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 5: Morris and Anton last year, Gay Davis like just giving

148
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: him as many potential pieces.

149
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: Around him to get this thing role. Oh, I think

150
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: it's important, you know. I mean, you're trying to always

151
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: improve every year. And you know, we we went out

152
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 4: and obviously through free agency of our own players, and

153
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: then of course you know, outside the building we've talked

154
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: about this and then obviously you know, tonight's another step.

155
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: We've got two more days obviously, but I think the

156
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: more opportunities and more you know, weapons you can surround

157
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: your quarterback with, I think the the the better your

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 4: chances are gonna be. Now, you know, we have to

159
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: coach them and then we got to play, and there's

160
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: a lot of things that go into that, but but

161
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: it does help your uh, it does help your.

162
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: Chances any any serious spot for consideration to trying to treat.

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: Though to get one of the top three receivers.

164
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 5: So that sh was the price just too.

165
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we had a good beat on where those

166
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: guys were gonna go, and they pretty much went where

167
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: we felt they were gonna go, and the price to

168
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: move up into that territory would have been really steep,

169
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: So it wasn't an option. You know, if one of

170
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: them would have slipped a little further, maybe you do it.

171
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: But we just didn't feel they were gonna get into

172
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: our range, and they didn't get into our range.

173
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the value of getting the picks.

174
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five rather than perhaps.

175
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: If there was a way to get more picks this year?

176
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: You know, what's the difference between this this year's driving.

177
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: The next year's DFT potentially, Yeah, that I don't know.

178
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not I'll work on next year's draft

179
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: and in about a week, but you know, you take

180
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: what they give you, right, There wasn't an option for

181
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: this year's picks. We did get one extra pick in

182
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: this year, a fifth round pick. I believe it's one

183
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: sixty seven, so late in the fifth round. But the

184
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: value of those picks next year are solid. You know,

185
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: it's a third round pick, it's the top one under player.

186
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: The other one's going to be in the top one

187
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: twenty Those are good football players. So you know, the

188
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: value was good for us.

189
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: It's probably if Calvin had come back. Is this to

190
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: mean you still would have identified for going forward?

191
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: You know, probably not not at that, not with that pick.

192
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: You when you look at a trade like that, do

193
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: you think we're fleecing them from a number? No?

194
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: No, No, I think it. I think it was a

195
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: fair trade.

196
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 2: You know. You know, I have a lot of respect

197
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: for Quasi and he's, uh, he's one of the bright

198
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: minds in this business when it comes to numbers and

199
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: analytics and everything else.

200
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: He's not gonna get fleeced. You know. He did a

201
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 3: good job.

202
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: They got the player they wanted, they and they gave

203
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: us what they were willing to give up. It's it's

204
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: not about fleecing one another. No one's gonna wa get

205
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 2: one over on another one. It's just what are they

206
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: willing to give and are you willing to accept it?

207
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: That simple as that. How well, I'm not going to

208
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: get into how the board fell for us, because uh,

209
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: you know, it kind of tips our hand on what

210
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: players we were looking at and how we built our boards.

211
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: So there's no value in saying that.

212
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of good football players that

213
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: went off the board, A lot of guys that we

214
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: had value, you know, very good value on uh no,

215
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: real surprises, you know, all the players that got picked,

216
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: I think we're deserving of getting picked, you know.

217
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: And again it only takes one team, you know, to.

218
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 2: To fall in love with the players. You got to

219
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: build the board based on what you believe. Because there's

220
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 2: thirty two teams and thirty two boards out there. None

221
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: of them are identical and a lot of times not

222
00:10:59,320 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: even close.

223
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: Brian at the combine, Brian had the fastest flying twenty times.

224
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: How much of that metric do you pay attention to

225
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: and how important is that?

226
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Ethan was Ethan Waard, assistant general manager,

227
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: was sitting down by the forties, you know, and that

228
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: one first thing he said when he came back is wow,

229
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: can that guy.

230
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: Run power out of the blox? You know?

231
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: And you can feel those guys that run like that.

232
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: So we pay a lot of attention to a lot

233
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: of the analytics, you know, we crunch the numbers. I

234
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: think we got one of the best, if not the best,

235
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: a group of people that just churn the numbers and

236
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: give us great insight into the physical ability of these players,

237
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: whether it's in game stuff or combine metrics or whatever. Uh,

238
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: So you pay attention to everything.

239
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: You guys have talked about culture fits and how players,

240
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: what you guys are building here. How much of that

241
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: played into the decision to Bryan?

242
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: He seems like a really nice kid. Yeah.

243
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: I think we've said for this since we've got together.

244
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: You know, that's important to us, right. We we want

245
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: guys that are available. We want guys that take care

246
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: of themselves, Uh, prepare hard for the game, take care

247
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: of the people in the community. They're just good people,

248
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: you know. And he's certainly one.

249
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 3: Of those, y'all, and he's kept there or we may have.

250
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 3: We may have.

251
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: We we got here at the end of the draft,

252
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: so we may have read into that what you want.

253
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: But the six.

254
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 6: Quarterbacks that went in the first fourteen six as a

255
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 6: former quarterback yourself, your reaction to the fact that that.

256
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: Is the world all now, Well, you're exactly right. It

257
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 5: is the world we live in.

258
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 4: We're in a we're in a passing league, and and

259
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: all these guys are very very talented and and and

260
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 4: can throw the football.

261
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 5: They've had great college.

262
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: Careers and and they've they've had a lot of snaps.

263
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 4: You know, these are these are guys that have had

264
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 4: a lot of football. They've played a ton of football,

265
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 4: so you know, these aren't you know, you know guys

266
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: that are like just one one hit wonder type guys.

267
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 5: They're there's there's there's an investment there.

268
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 4: So uh, it's it's pretty impressive, you know that this

269
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: amount of you know, qbs went you know.

270
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 5: As early as they did.

271
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: But but again it's the league that we're that we're in,

272
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: and and uh, you know, we'll see how everything everything

273
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: plays out.

274
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: Any quarterback pushing guys down for und.

275
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we we felt there was gonna be

276
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: a good number. I can't say we felt there would

277
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: be six that went that high, but we certainly felt

278
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: it was a good class, a good group of eyes.

279
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: And and you're never surprised when a quarterback comes off

280
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 2: the board because if you don't have one, you need one.

281
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: You got to go get one because you can't play

282
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: the game without one.

283
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: You got
