You know, 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: we just wrapped up two and a half weeks of 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: draft meetings with the scouts and the coaches of course, 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: with with their input, we're going to continue to study 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: the players and uh, we'll be ready to go a 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: week from today. So let the games begin and duggan 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: the athletic. Hey guys, I got a question for each 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: of you, Um, Dave, you obviously went through one draft 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: process now with Joe, just cause how involved to see 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: in the evaluation process and what is he brought just 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: to the entire draft process. Well, you know, you know Dan, 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean he's very involved. He was very involved last year. 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: I have this crazy idea that we should collaborate and 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: and and this crazy idea we should bring in players 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: that fit coaches schemes. So he's, you know, obviously very involved. 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: You know, this year obviously was different because you're touching 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: each other, you know, you're in the you're in the 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: same spot, and it's it's really helpful and the best 20 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: the best part is the direction and and and him 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: and his staff explaining the type of player they're looking for, 22 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: really and truly, at the end of the day, it's 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: the biggest The biggest direction is with the linebackers. Very frankly, 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: offensive players are off you know, lineman, a lot of 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, defensive lineman, back end guys, front end, and 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: they're all it's all the same. It's really the linebacker 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: fit and the and the versatility we're looking for at 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: certain positions with certain players. You know, so you know 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: you you know, you'd like to have a talented two 30 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: way go guys, the guy that could do a couple 31 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 1: of things. You know, so you know, you take away, 32 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: you turn around, you take a look at what Julian 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: Love has developed into. You know where he's a connor, 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: he's the safety's here, he's there, and he's got he 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: gives you. What it does is dan is It gives 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you the coordinator a lot of flexibility. So that's you know, 37 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: that's um where that's at. Ask your question? Yeah, absolutely, Um, 38 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: what's like the biggest us A few, but like some 39 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: of the biggest changes you have to make. You can 40 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: go back to the end of last draft process. Is 41 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: there anything that you found actually beneficial that you might 42 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: stick with going forward? When we get you back to 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: quote unquote normal through the draft process that you know, 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: obviously the hardest part was not being on the road, um, 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: being on campus with the players, UM, you know, the 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: zoom doing. Getting the zoom background went well that the 47 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: colleges were great about, you know, offering those to us 48 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: so we can gather. But it was different. You're in 49 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: a room with thirty two you know, other clubs and UM, 50 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: so you didn't get maybe the intimate information you get 51 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: you know on campus. UM. I hope we don't do 52 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: that next of all. I hope we're back on on 53 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: campus again. UM. I think the you know, something that 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: will take from it, you know, maybe is the the 55 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: ability to you know, get with our scouts use the 56 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: zoom piece, like more meat throughout the fall, maybe more 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: UM as a group. But other than that, you know, 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: I think, you know, getting back to normal business will 59 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: will benefit this. Thanks guys, Tom Rock news Day, I 60 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: have one for each of you to Chris. I'd like 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: just to follow up on that. What what were some 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: of the challenges of trying to evaluate players who weren't 63 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: on the field, Guys who either opted out or their 64 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: schools didn't play a full slate of games. Uh, you 65 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: know what how did you go into that? And how 66 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: did how did you come out of that? Well? With 67 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: the opt out guys specifically, you know, we treated we 68 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: watched all their film you know that they did play 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: in nineteen and you know, and going back, we went 70 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: over and over it again as many times as possible that, 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, because that was it. That's all we had. 72 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: And really it was sit back and wait and and 73 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: see that get them at their pro days. I mean, 74 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: that was it. That was our opportunity. So we made it. 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: You know, point myself, especially like anyone that opted out, 76 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: I try to get to that pro day should you 77 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: get my eyes on them? You know, some of these 78 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: guys you know you watch them, you know as they 79 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: come up, you know who they are. You know. Um, 80 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: but that that was it. It really just had to 81 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: sit and wait on these opt out guys. You couldn't 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, lead were and allowed to talk to him 83 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: until the you know, we talked to everybody and you know, 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: you ask your sources and just and build, you know, 85 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: build your character piece you know throughout the fall like 86 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: any other player was. That was that hard because some 87 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: of these guys, you know, they were they were teenagers 88 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: and the last time they played football. Yeah, that's that's 89 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: a big that's a big development area. Right. Yeah, you 90 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: gotta you you gotta do a lot of projecting. You know, 91 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: that's what this business is. But you know you had 92 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: some the benefit of sum showed up the Senior Bowl. 93 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: You got down there, you got to watch them work, 94 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: see what kind of shape they were in. And again, yeah, 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: you're you know, it's hard some of these guys haven't 96 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: had pads on twenty months when that we're going to 97 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: get him, and you know that's part of be part 98 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: of the piece that we have to take into consideration. 99 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: And then for Dave, if I could, um, just I 100 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: guess what's your take on on Kyle Pitts. You know, 101 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: people talk about him as a unicorn and and the 102 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: best tight end that that they've ever seen. What what 103 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: what do you what do you see from him? He's 104 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: he's a uniquely talented player, played it simple. Um, you know, 105 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: you you can't character rise him as just a receiving 106 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: tight end because he's got a lot you know, you 107 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: watch him block. He's got a lot of blocking grit 108 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's he's got some nice fundamentals 109 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: down and he's certainly big enough. So he's he's really 110 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: he's he's he's a different breed of cat. Now he's 111 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: very talented. Ryan. I leave New York close. Hey, Dave, 112 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to get your thoughts on what Tom just 113 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: asked Chris about the opt out guys. How do you 114 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: view them? Are you more likely to you know, if 115 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: it's a tie to go with somebody who didn't opt 116 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: out of last season because there's fresher tape, how do 117 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: you view them? Is there anything you can compare to 118 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: your scouting career too, to all these guys, dozens of 119 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: guys who didn't play last year. No, I definitely, Ryan 120 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: is nothing I can compare this too. You know, you're 121 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: you're almost with a with a handful of these guys. 122 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: It's almost like the NBA one and done. You know, 123 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: they go to they go to college for a year, 124 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: and now bang there in the NBA. Hey, So you 125 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: know it's you have to do it on a case 126 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: by case basis. You know it listened, they made a 127 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: decision to opt out. Who am I to judge? And 128 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, you watch things haven't changed. It's what you 129 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: do between the white lines that that give you your 130 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: value as as a player, and then obviously you're judging 131 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: the character piece as well. But no, I don't I 132 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: don't have any preconceived notions. We've we've discussed um with 133 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: amongst each other, you know, in the room for the 134 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: reason that the reasons that a guy opted out when 135 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: I get on the zoom calls, we're still doing it. 136 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: We're still in the interview process with the players. So 137 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: for you know, I've been doing to two guys a night, 138 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: and like tomorrow, I'll do six guys in the afternoon. Um. 139 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: And we asked them specifically to you know, tell me 140 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: your story about the opt out. What what's your journey, like, 141 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: why did you I'm glad you did it. You know, 142 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: you go through that process, Ryan, But and it's it's 143 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: hot because especially you know, um, you know Tom said 144 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: it before.

And oh, by the way, 147 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: this is gonna be twenty months before they put it. 148 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: There will be twenty months between when the last time 149 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: they had pads on. Okay, and I you know, you guys, 150 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: know how I kind of you know, talk about the 151 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: underwear Olympics.

Now we weren't, 169 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, the league did not allow us to do that, 170 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: so you know that was a big chunk of our 171 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, character building piece that we didn't have this year, 172 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: so we weren't allowed to meet with them in the protest, 173 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: So it was just they're observing and you know we 174 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: met with you know, we met with all these guys 175 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: through zooms beforehand. You know. We what we did was 176 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: really leading up to the protests, we kind of simulated 177 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: what we would normally do with the comment our formal interviews. 178 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: We did that with you know, with the coaching staff 179 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: and the personnel staff. We zoomed them. So that's where 180 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, that's where you really get the information where 181 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: I got to meet them. The the other another thing 182 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: about the evaluations injury data, I know there were some 183 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: guys who didn't even get to Indianapolis, like Phillips from Miami. 184 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: There's some noted name guys. Are you still waiting on 185 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: some injury data and evaluations on players or do you 186 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: have all of that at your disposal at this moment? Yeah, 187 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: we're you know, that's that part is done with. You know, uh, 188 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: Ronnie Barnes and his staff has done a great job. 189 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: Yeahthering that information. Um is it is thorough probably you know, 190 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: because you're doing it, you're not getting your hands on 191 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: these guys. You know, we had three plus guys normally 192 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: go to combine. You know, we had about a hundred 193 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: fifty this year, so you're looking at half people you 194 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: don't have. Our doctors have their hands on so you're 195 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: you're you know, you're relying on you know, they were 196 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: all adapting like to everything, and during this pandemic sover 197 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: you're relying on phone calls and and getting that information. 198 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: But Ronnie and his staff have done that, so we 199 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: have medical grades on everybody going forward. Just one more, 200 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: if you don't mind, Dave, are you trading up or 201 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: trading back? I'm going to involve you in the trade. 202 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: Sounds good, You're just a good return there. What does 203 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: the market look like for trades? Though? You know it's crazy, 204 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: you know it's the quarterbacks are affecting it. Um, you know, 205 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: who knows? If you know, I don't think it's gonna 206 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: be any different than any any other year in terms 207 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: of trading. The opportunities to trade up of trade back. 208 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: It's above value. You know that. And uh um, you 209 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: know I have you know, you you go into the 210 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: draft with you know, you have an idea of who 211 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: you'd like to take at that slot. What what group 212 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: of players? And then if you if if it's if 213 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: there's someone sitting there, you have an opportunity to trade up, 214 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: trade up, if you have an opportunity, if you don't 215 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: like what you're looking at and you feel the value 216 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: is better at the you know, back end of that round, 217 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: your trade back. So you know, I don't I really 218 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be that different, you know, to 219 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: answer your question, I really don't. Thanks at you try 220 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: to Giants Country. Hi guys, thank you for taking this UM. 221 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: I have a question for whoever wants to take this UM. 222 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm curious how much do you factor into your decision 223 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: when you set up your board contracts of current veterans 224 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: and did use a specific example looking at your offensive one. 225 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: I think you have about four guys who are in 226 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: contract years and they may be resigned, they may not 227 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: be resigned. So when you set up your board, do 228 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: you take a look at that factor that in and say, okay, 229 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: look we gotta keep the pipeline refreshed as far as 230 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: offensive line depth or does that not matter when you 231 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: ultimately put the board together. Well, you know, Patty, you're 232 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: always looking at that kind of stuff all right, So 233 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, just as a for example, um, you know, 234 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: you if you know you've got a guy that's gonna 235 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: be a you know, the contract up and and because 236 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: of the financial aspect, you may not. You may decide 237 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: you're not gonna do it. Sure you may draft a guy. Uh, 238 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, you may draft a player to event to 239 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: fill the need that you know you're gonna have. So 240 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: you absolutely take that into consideration. You take the contracts. 241 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: People always talk about, you know, the draft guys obviously 242 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, cheaper labor so to speak. You know, so 243 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: you're gonna do that. I mean that you make that 244 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: part of your that's part of the big picture look 245 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: that you have to take when you're drafting. You have 246 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: to look at you know, what you got, what you're 247 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: eventually who who are you gonna Who's gonna you know, uh, 248 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: go out the door and how do you replenish? So 249 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: that's really hope that answers your question. It does. And 250 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: then if I could just follow up real quick. You 251 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: know you've said in the past that you can never 252 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: have too many good players at a specific position. Right 253 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: that said, can you have a situation or run into 254 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: a situation where maybe you have too many players at 255 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: one spot, let's say quarterback, and maybe not enough at 256 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: another spot, and then how do you kind of weigh 257 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: and balance? Okay, do we take a quarnerback here or 258 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: do we take a player at a position where maybe 259 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: we're a little thing. Well, you know, it's one of 260 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,599 Speaker 1: those you want to always take value, Okay, Patty, And 261 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: I think really and truly, you know, just because you 262 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: take a guy, you know, it's you know, there's no 263 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: law against maybe flipping him, flipping the guy you already 264 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: have in your roster. So it's it's an asset, so 265 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: that you don't want to pass up good assets. You 266 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: really don't. Okay, thank you, You're welcome. Ruschwartz, New York. Plus, Hey, guys, 267 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: I got one for each of you. For Dave. Dave, 268 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: you talked a lot about playmakers this offseason, playmakers for offense. 269 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: Um you signed, you got a few of them in 270 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: free agency. Kenny Golladay obviously was a big fish that 271 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: you um hooked. Um is your receiver corps done or 272 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: I know you know things are never done. I guess 273 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: when you look at the two Alabama receivers sitting there 274 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: at eleven, do you think your receiver corps needs more 275 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: or did God that kind of satisfy that? Well, No, 276 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: you're always looking to upgrade every position, Paul, doesn't make 277 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: a difference. Whether it's why I receive it, attack whatever, 278 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: You're always looking to upgrade. So, yeah, it's kind of 279 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: the same. I'm gonna give you the same response I 280 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: just gave the Patty Frankly. You know, it's it's about value, 281 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: and it's you know how you how are you building 282 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: your team, what you're looking to do? And you can 283 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: never have too many good players in one position. The 284 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: two Alabama receivers, they're not the biggest guys, um are they? 285 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: Does that concern you? Or if they can run by you? 286 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: Does it? Is it? Okay? Well, you know you evaluate 287 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: the film, okay, and and the college film suggests that 288 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: they're very good college I'm sorry, they're very good players. 289 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: You know there there there are plenty of smaller guys 290 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: that have been very successful in this league, just like 291 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: there are plenty of huge guys that have been successful 292 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: and everyone in the middle. So you know, okay, you 293 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: have one more quickly for Chris, Chris, there are no 294 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: um um you know, the edge rusher guys, you know, 295 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: the Chase Young's or the Miles Garretts. You know, they 296 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: don't seem to be there in this draft. We say 297 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: the first two or three picks, they're gonna be gone. 298 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: How do you look at the EDG rush situation and 299 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: um um at eleven to some of the warts on 300 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: these guys, can you kind of look over them? Or 301 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: is eleven a little too rich for the add rushers 302 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: this year? I wouldn't say there's too rich for add 303 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: rushers anywhere. I mean there's ad drushers or how you win, 304 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, you win guys to rush the pass or um. 305 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: You know where they are on the board. You know, 306 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: we'll see how it shakes out. You know a lot 307 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: of factors do it. But I wouldn't say this. You 308 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: know there aren't guys available. Jones, NFL Network, Hey, guys, 309 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate your time for the second time this week, 310 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: Dave in particular, and Chris, it's nice to see you. Um, 311 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: Dave at number eleven, do you envision getting a guy 312 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: who will contribute right away? It's an interesting question, Jim. Yes. 313 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: The cliff note answer on it is yes. Um, it's 314 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: really had to take a guy at eleven that you're 315 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: you're betting on the potential. He's got all the pqs. 316 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's you know, it's it's it's it's just 317 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: you know what, you know what it comes down to. 318 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: I look at it this way. So I'm a Celtics fan. 319 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: Don't be angry, but I'm a Boston Celtics fan. So, 320 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years ago, the Celtics drafted 321 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: Robert Williams out of Kentucky. He was a one and 322 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: done guy and all kinds of potential. Well now it's 323 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: year three and he's finally starting to play to his abilities. Okay, 324 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: in in the NFL. You know, I've got to be 325 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, Kim, I gotta be really cognizant of the 326 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: coaches there under the pressure to win all the time. 327 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: Every Sunday is a referendum on their skills as coaches, 328 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: and you've gotta be really careful when you start taking 329 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: guys that high, that have that much. You know, you 330 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: love the physical skills, the potential, but it's but how 331 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: long is it gonna take for it to show on 332 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: the field. So that's kind of like the balance I 333 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: have to I have to get to and Dave. I 334 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: would have been a Celtics fan if len Bias had lived, 335 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: so we actually would have had something in common. It's 336 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: not for that trash. We can we can share that, Chris, 337 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: I have one for you if I may. When you 338 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: talk about hard to get to know guys, Um, it's 339 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: it's inconceivable to me that you couldnot meet these guys 340 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: face to face. That's a question in a topic probably 341 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: for a different time in our lives. But are you 342 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: confident you know these guys well enough? Yeah? I am, 343 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: I am, And that's due to the work of our staff, 344 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: scouting staff, the coaching staff. I mean, we've done endless 345 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: amount of zooms. You know, you're allowed five, you know, 346 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: the league allowed to do five zooms, but you know 347 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: that's just a zoom. We've talked to these guys all 348 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: all season. You know, when we can once we're allowed 349 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: to meet scouting season, but it's it's every day. You know. 350 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: The scouts have been awesome. They and Um, they've been 351 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: working the phone lines just to get to know him 352 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: so we can sit there and we really truly know it. 353 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: And then also our coaches doing it. But we're having 354 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: reaching out to the college coaches as well, going back 355 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: being thorough, So you do you get to the I've 356 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: gotten to the point, Kim, where I feel like we 357 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: do know these guys as we would and a normally 358 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: or do we have the physical contact with him that 359 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: we would like? No? Um, But so I'm trusting that 360 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: that our staff has really worked hard enough to get 361 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: that where we feel like we know. So Chris, real quick, 362 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: you know these guys better than the media does, right, 363 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: I hope. So thank you Zach Rose and Black and 364 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: j dot Com for for Chris kind of jumping off 365 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: that a little bit. Um. You obviously have a lot 366 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: of coaching staff members on your staff that have ties 367 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: to a lot of these big time college programs. I'm 368 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: scuriously how much, especially in a year like this, when 369 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: you know you have guys that opted out and all 370 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: the uniqueness of this situation, how how valuable has that 371 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: been to kind of get inside from some like Sean 372 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: Spencer on Penn State or Jeremy pruittt on Tennessee like 373 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Very helpful, very helpful, very helpful. Zack. 374 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's you know and and and they've 375 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: known these you know, these guys you know, have had 376 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: they've touched these guys, which is you know, which we 377 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: unfortunately haven't been able to do and uh as much so, UM, 378 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: it's it's it's quite helpful. Yeah, it provides a third 379 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: like because we go back like some of these guys recruited. 380 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: They might not have gone to, you know, a certain college, 381 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: but they recruited them, so they give us another look, 382 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: another view of saying when they were in high schools 383 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: in the recruiting process. But again that the scouts also 384 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: can get work the coaches from another angle. So you 385 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: get all different opinions and we finally get to a 386 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: group decisions. Hey, guys, how you doing. I got one 387 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: preach of it, David, I'm I'm just curious. Uh, they're 388 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: supposed to be you know, the projection and a lot 389 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: of people are making and even you you're probably making 390 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: them inside your own you know war room. Uh, is 391 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a bunch of quarterbacks that go 392 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: early in this draft. What does that mean for you 393 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: guys of the kind of player that you expect to 394 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: get at pick eleven. Well, you know, the more quarterbacks 395 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: that go, the you know, the more players that pushes 396 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: to us Jordan's and you know, it's it's uh, obviously helpful. 397 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean, i'd like to see, you know, frankly, i'd 398 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: like to see ten quarterbacks go in front of us, 399 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, but you know, basically, you know, the more 400 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks would go, the better it is for us. Have 401 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: you seen your pick be potentially more valuable at eleven 402 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: that it would in a normal year in regards to 403 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: people calling you and trading and that kind of stuff 404 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: it could cross as a result. It's it's possible. It's possible, yes, 405 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: and maybe I guess it's for both of you. I'm 406 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: just curious, in a general sense, what do you think 407 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: of that Edge Rusher group as a whole. I think 408 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: it's a good group, Jordan, I do. It's, um, you know, 409 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: there's a good group. There's there's a bunch of them. 410 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: There's different ones, different types which we like, there's ones 411 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: that fit our system. So I think it's a good group. 412 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, it's an obviously an important 413 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: position we look to fill every year, not this year 414 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: over any other year. So we're gonna, you know, we're 415 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: going through it and we're gonna, hopefully if we decided 416 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: to address that the ones they're at a certain time 417 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: and he fits what we do, we take them, We'll 418 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: take two more. Are stay within, Tom Cannavan our staples 419 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: in the record, and guys tell you doing um. Going 420 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: back a little bit to the to the opt out question, 421 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: but also just how how difficult it is the challenges 422 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: you guys have faced in the evaluation this year? Is 423 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: it position specific? Do you feel more comfortable or confident 424 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: that you can get a better read on an opt 425 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: out at a different position when you compare an offensive 426 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: lineman versus a wide receiver or a linebacker. Does that 427 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: factor in as well for you guys? Do you have 428 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: to treat it almost like a player by player, position 429 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: by position thing or is it really a broad stroke? 430 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: You know? And I think it's a rod stroke, I 431 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: really do. I don't think that, you know, listen, the 432 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: wide receiver ops out. He can get a jug machine, 433 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, offensive lambent ops out. I'm not so sure 434 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: you know what you know, it's it's different, but I 435 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: think it's it's a broader. It's the broader question for 436 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: me is what did he do? And you know, for 437 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: us right now, what what you know? What kind of 438 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: a college career did he have? And the next pieces 439 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: what what you know, the next pieces what did he 440 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: do while he was while he had you know, things 441 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: were going on, you know, he wasn't playing, And then 442 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: what does he do with his pro day? You know, 443 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: so you've got kind of three pieces to it, and uh, 444 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's a you know, it's really 445 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: a broader question. I don't think that it's necessarily positions 446 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: position specific. Thank you, Don Kenneman. A Hey, Dave, does 447 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: having only six picks is that that is that's simply 448 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: a fact of life or did you address that in 449 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: free agency? Or does it put more pressure on you 450 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: in the draft or what? No? I you know, I'm 451 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: very comfortable with the six picks. The the we don't 452 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: have the fifth round and we got this guy Leo 453 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: Williams instead, and the seventh round was like gettum who's 454 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: on our roster and a Conna so um, that's where 455 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: they went. You know, we moved back to Scolden to 456 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: get an extra six. I'm fine with with with with 457 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: with with the number of picks we have in this 458 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: draft going in, you don't know what's gonna happen. I 459 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen. So I'm fine with the 460 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: six um and uh, you know it's okay with me. 461 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: Would you be influenced to make a deal to get 462 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: more again, it depends upon the deal. It depends upon 463 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: the deal. Tom. That'st one here, Dan Graziano ESPN. Something 464 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: that gets attention around this time of the year is 465 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: your history of not trading down. Your predecessor in this 466 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: job never did it. What do you think the reason 467 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: is for that? Either from your standpoint for the organizations, Dan, 468 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: you know you guys don't believe me. Meanwhile, Jeremiah had 469 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: a great line NASCO will have right right terms before 470 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: DJ trades back. I mean, hell of the line had 471 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: a good laugh. Um we have. I've tried in the past, 472 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: I honestly, honest, I've tried to trade back, but it's 473 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: gonna be value. I'm not getting fleeced. I refused to 474 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: do it. And if you know somebody wants to make 475 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: a bad trade back, god bless him. But you know, 476 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:49,479 Speaker 1: we've had opportunities. I've tried, you know, And there you 477 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: have to understand the other piece of this, Dan, is 478 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: sometimes you have a trade and the guy that the 479 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: team is trading up for gets picked in front of you. 480 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: I've had, We've had that happened to us. We gotta trade, 481 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: we gotta trade, and the and so and so selects 482 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: no trade, Dave, goodbye, hang the phone up on me. 483 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: So that happens to I mean, it's really it's it's 484 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: like it's almost becoming urban myth. I've tried, I really have. 485 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: How unusual is it a circumstance where you have three 486 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: division teams drafting right in a row like this, and 487 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: how does that affect either the trade landscape or the 488 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: need for subterfuge. Well, it's, you know, it is what 489 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: it is. We're drafting.
