How much potential do you see with 56 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 4: this pick and what does the team have to do 57 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 4: and what does Kayshawn have to do to realize that 58 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 4: potential that a lot of people saw, you know a 59 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: few years ago. 60 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: Just got off the phone with you know, some of 61 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: these undrafted guys who you know we're looking to sign, 62 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: and you know, had the message for them that really 63 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: goes for everybody.

But 80 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: last year we talked a lot about the speed in 81 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: that draft class. Seem to target a lot of speed 82 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: in athleticism this year too. Just at first look overall, 83 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: how would you characterize this class and what you're able 84 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: to do this weekend in terms of players drafted and 85 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 3: maneuvering around the board. 86 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: A lot of movement, always trying to put ourselves in 87 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: position to get a player that we want, and then 88 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: you know, try and move you know, kind of like 89 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: a roadmap from position to position. You know, I would 90 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: characterize it as very diverse, just given from you know, 91 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: some of some of the schools that we're looking at, 92 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 2: you know, from Oregon and UCLA out west to you know, 93 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: Troy and Jackson State. You know, a couple you know, 94 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: maybe not household names in footballs. You know, down in 95 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: the Southeast. A lot of good programs down there. Obviously 96 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: the the national champions with coach Smart and Georgia, but 97 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: there's a lot of good players down there and they 98 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: can't all go to the SEC, you know, so just 99 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: trying to find as many good players as we can 100 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: all across the country. And then you know, we really 101 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: kind of run the gamut here position wise, interior offensive 102 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 2: line to tackle, to a corner, to wide receiver, so 103 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: and then you know, with a kicker and a punter. 104 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 2: You know, it's a it's a pretty diverse group of 105 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: positions and players from all around the country. Big school, 106 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: small schools, PAC twelve, Big ten. You know, so we 107 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: got them covered here. 108 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 5: Thank you. 109 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: Next question Zach Cox, followed by Mike Riese, Hey man, 110 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I think you touched on the versatility of some of 111 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: these old linemen off the top with. 112 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: Cities specifically, is he's somebody that you think could maybe 113 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: play some some tackle for you guys or all three 114 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: of those players more interior life. 115 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: These guys will we'll move around, Coach Clem, you know, 116 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: we'll give them opportunities. We'll we'll try and fit them 117 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: in the best spot possible. City does have some background 118 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 2: at left tackle, h you know, he's been at guard 119 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: here the last couple of years. He's not a little guy. Uh, 120 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: He's got plenty of athleticism, he's got plenty of power. 121 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: So we'll see how it goes and try and find 122 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: the best spot for him, you know. And the same 123 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: thing with with Jake, who's got some versatility you know, 124 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: playing center and guard. As the saying another saying goes 125 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: around here, the more you can do. So looking forward 126 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: to having those guys and seeing what they can do 127 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: at multiple spots. 128 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 6: Great night. 129 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Next question, Mike, please follow by Andrew kellyan Man just. 130 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 7: To follow up on that. You you know, in the 131 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 7: pre draft press conference, we were talking about your visit 132 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 7: with Anwenu and how he was a different body type, 133 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 7: right than than maybe we've been accustomed to with the guards. 134 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 7: These two guys look similar, right, like six I'm seeing 135 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 7: six four, three twenty three for City if I have 136 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 7: it right, six two, maybe three point thirty eight in 137 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 7: that range. 138 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 8: For Antonio, I'm wondering, is this at all? And I 139 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 8: might be overthinking it tied to like, hey, the quarterback 140 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 8: we have, like we gotta we gotta keep this thing, 141 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 8: you know, big guys in there, or am I overthinking that? 142 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 8: Is there any thought process there? 143 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: You know? 144 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: With with that, Uh, Antonio certainly bears a resemblance to Mike. 145 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: You know, Mike's a little bit bigger than Antonio. But 146 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: you know, I think I can see how you can 147 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: make that comparison just just looking at the two. Uh, 148 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: Antonio's had a little bit of a you know, different 149 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: background and playing on both sides of the ball. So 150 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: if you really want to get in the diversity of 151 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: some of the players, you know, that's another guy who's 152 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: done a lot of different things for for coach Kelly. 153 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 9: Out at U c l A. 154 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, setting the depth of the pocket. 155 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: I don't think that there's a team in the league 156 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: that's not going to tell you that that's not important. 157 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 2: So that's something that we want to do. But you 158 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: can't just have a bunch of slugs in there. You've 159 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: got to be able to find some guys who can bend, 160 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 2: move latterly, you know, redirect and look, we're we're going 161 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 2: to face all sorts of different kinds of pressure from 162 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: the interior. But number one, if you're getting run through, uh, 163 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: it's it's going to be a real long day. So 164 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: you know, I think you can say that just about 165 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: any any team that's trying to put together a big, 166 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: strong team up front, and that's certainly something that we 167 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: want to do. Along with having the right kind of 168 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: play style. You know, we want these guys to have 169 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 2: a real toughness and grit to them and that doesn't 170 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: just like I said in the pre draft press conference, 171 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 2: that just doesn't come from a magic wand so a 172 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 2: lot of these guys have that innate and looking forward 173 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: to to seeing them get after it. 174 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 10: Here and just a quick follow up, different topic, Isaiah 175 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 10: Bolden was talking about just having a little bit of 176 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 10: pride being the only HBCU player drafted. 177 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: Just as a personal director, could you comment on. 178 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 10: What you're seeing from the HBCUs and just sort of 179 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 10: maybe Isaiah himself too. 180 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Isaiah coming from maybe the most high profile EACHBCU 181 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: here right now with coach coach Prime spending his time 182 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: down there. Again, Isaiah, you know Florida Ka. I went 183 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: to Florida State, ended up at Jackson State. So this 184 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: is a kid who Southeast kid grown up down in 185 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: Florida football is in a lot of those guys. Veins 186 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 2: was able to spend some time with Isaiah here in 187 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: the pre draft process and certainly looking forward to getting 188 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: to know him better, and you know, congratulate him on 189 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 2: representing the HBCU. I think that's a great thing. 190 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: Next question and you're calling here, followed by Greg Bnard. 191 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 9: Hey Man, we spoke to you last year and I 192 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 9: know was noted the pre jraft press conference, the idea 193 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 9: of emphasizing speed. It was something you wanted to get 194 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 9: faster last year entering this draft and now afterwards, do 195 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 9: you feel like you went in with any specific goal 196 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 9: similar to last year and did you accomplish that? 197 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 198 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: It seems to be my most well used quote is 199 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 2: if you want speed, draft fast guys. So you know, 200 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 2: thought we would just hammer that home here with a 201 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: mere speed. So you guys can keep having fun with 202 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 2: that one. But you want ask guys you better draft them. 203 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: Uh So with Isaiah with the mirror, you know a 204 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 2: bunch of these guys, you know, even the guys we 205 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: took in the in the earlier rounds. You know, our 206 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: strength staff does a great job and is going to 207 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: try and get everything out of these guys. But you 208 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: got to have just naturally fast guys. And and that's 209 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: what a lot of these these players are. And we're 210 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: always looking to upgrade. 211 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: Uh. 212 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: You know our team across the board, you know, for 213 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: with all their skill sets. But you know there's this 214 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: is the league's only getting faster and faster, So we 215 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: don't want to just you know, try and keep up. 216 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 2: We want to push the pace. 217 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 9: Here and then a quick follow up just to stick 218 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 9: with the mic on winning theme. Uh because of course, 219 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 9: does the team still envision him to starting your right 220 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 9: guard considering a lot of the old linement you you know, 221 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 9: drafted today are on the interior. 222 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 10: Yeah. 223 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: You know a great thing about Mike is you know 224 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: he came in here, he did what was asked of him. 225 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: But you know he's really kind of settled in at guard. 226 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: You know, like I talked about, you can say we 227 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 2: draft did three guards. Well, you know, Jake's got a 228 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: lot of experience at center, said, he's got some experience 229 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 2: at tackle. 230 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 231 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: And you know one thing, you look at a lot 232 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: of the good teams that we've had around here, and 233 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: and certainly if you look at those two teams who 234 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: are playing on the final weekend this year, you can't 235 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 2: have enough good offensive lineman. So it's just something that 236 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: you can never have enough of. And if you don't 237 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: have enough, it's it's gonna be really hard on you. 238 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 2: So looking forward to getting these guys in the mix, 239 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: and they're just gonna have to come in here and 240 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: compete with the rest of the crew, you know, Mike 241 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: and David and Cole and all the other guys you 242 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: know out to the tackle position as well. 243 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: Thanks Bet, Yeah, it looks like the last question here, 244 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: Greig Madark knows anybody else praises our him? 245 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 8: Greg. 246 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 6: Hey, Matt, I jumped on a little light, so apologies 247 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 6: if you already addressed this, but to further the offensive 248 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 6: line discussion, you know, you guys added a bunch of 249 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 6: guys who have versatility, but you didn't really add anybody 250 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 6: who has you know, quote unquote tackle traits? Is that 251 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 6: did it just not present itself that opportunity? Do you do? 252 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 6: You know, do you really like what you have? And 253 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 6: Reef and Anderson and you got Stuber coming back. We 254 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 6: didn't see a lot of like can you just address 255 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 6: like where you guys think you are right now at tackle? 256 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 9: Right? 257 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: So you know, signed three guys in free agency, uh 258 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: at the position. You know, re signed Connor, re signed, 259 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: signed Calvin Anderson, kind of resigned him since we had 260 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: him for a short spell here before. Uh, but you know, 261 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: signed Calvin Anderson and then with Riley, so you know, 262 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: we we we got a lot of bodies there right now. Again, 263 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: wouldn't really want to take any of the guys that 264 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: we got, Uh, you know, do I want to take 265 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez off this team? And you know had a tackle? 266 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: You know, those are the decisions you got to make. 267 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: So you know, we we could have drafted a tackle 268 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: in the first round, and I'm sure the question would be, 269 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: well did you address corner? So you know, there's only 270 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: so many picks, and certainly only so many picks up front, 271 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: So I think we've definitely got a lot of you know, 272 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: good guys there to work with. Again, you mentioned Andrew Stuber, 273 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: drafted him last year. You know, he's kind of new 274 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: to the mix. So again, I don't want to say 275 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: he's an extra draft pick, but he's kind of an 276 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: unknown just like some of these draft picks are coming in. 277 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: So you know, we do our research, we know what 278 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: the player is in college, but it's a whole new 279 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: game here now. So we'll see what all these guys 280 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: can do to to mix in with the free agent crowd. 281 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: And you know, we we do have some some good 282 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: solid depth there and we'll just see, you know, let 283 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: these guys go in and compete. Just like at any 284 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: other position, these guys are going to have to come 285 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: come in and compete and earn that time. 286 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: Thanks man, The threat of the last question inspired three more, 287 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: so we're going to go with Andrew Callaghan original. 288 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 9: Matt I also jumped in just lay so apologies for 289 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 9: you've been asked this, but with respect to the tight 290 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 9: end position, you don't have anyone under contract past this 291 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 9: upcoming season, didn't draft one here today? What's a thought 292 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 9: process at that position? 293 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: Thought process was those guys went really fast and they 294 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: just kept coming off, you know, so uh that that 295 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: was just the way the draft, you know, unfolded. There 296 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: were some guys up top, there was some good depth 297 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: in the middle of the draft, and those players came 298 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: off really really fast. I don't know all the history 299 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: of the position and the drafts, you know, but sometimes 300 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: a guy goes just like I you know I mentioned before, 301 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: a guy goes, and then it's it's like an avalanche, 302 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: and that position just kind of keeps keeps falling and 303 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: falling and falling. And so you got to still, you know, 304 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: trust your board, and you want to not just draft 305 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: a guy to say, hey, we drafted a tight end. Well, 306 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 2: if he's not the right if he's not what you're 307 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: looking for, then you don't want to waste a draft 308 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: just to say, Okay, well now we feel good we drafted. 309 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 6: A tight end. 310 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 2: You know, we had a couple of guys that we 311 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: really liked. They just went and that's just kind of 312 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: the way it's going to go at any position in 313 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: the draft. Just got to kind of take them as 314 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: they come. 315 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 9: It seemed like there are a couple of guys that 316 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 9: that fell at least in the late third round or 317 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 9: maybe really fourth.

The last question is Mikes and. 358 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 5: I was curious about the trade with the Jets and 359 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 5: just I know we've seen it before, but where it's 360 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 5: a division rival, is that an awkward call for your 361 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 5: guys or how does that work? 362 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 10: And just the trades in general. Just three I think 363 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 10: for the Patriots, which I would say most people would say, oh, 364 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 10: that was. 365 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 5: Expected more, you know, given how many picks you went 366 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 5: in with. 367 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 8: Was it just sort of quiet this year in terms 368 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 8: of the market overall. 369 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: Pat Steorge did a great job again working the phones 370 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: with the Jets, and you know, we've got good relationships 371 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: with the Jets. Joe Douglas a great job, you know, 372 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: Rex Hogan, those guys, you know, we're we're competitors certainly 373 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 2: on the field, but you get to know a lot 374 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: of these guys, whether you're working with them like Pat 375 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 2: was able to do with with Joe in the past, 376 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 2: or you know, when you're on the road as an 377 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 2: area scout sometimes you know those other area scouts in 378 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 2: your area from other teams there as much your co 379 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 2: workers as you know, the people who are wearing the 380 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 2: same logo as you are. So you know, we we 381 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 2: all have relationships throughout the league and and those relationships 382 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: help certainly when it comes to to draft day and trades. 383 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: And look, Pat and Elliott Wolf and Cam Williams, those 384 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 2: guys you know myself, you know, but principally those three guys, 385 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 2: especially Pat and Elliott, you know, really really work the 386 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: lines hard and constantly making calls and the amount of 387 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 2: offers that get made either to us or two other teams, 388 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: you know, pay in comparison to the actual amount of 389 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 2: trades that get done. So you know, that's just again 390 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 2: kind of with how the draft ball draft board falls 391 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: at a certain position, you know, it takes two to tango, 392 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: and look, there's other teams that are trying to trying 393 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 2: to get in as well, and if you don't have 394 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: the best offer, then you know, obviously you're going to 395 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: lose out on that spot or you're not going to 396 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 2: be able to move back or move up. So but 397 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 2: I would say those guys really really worked. The line's hard. 398 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: I there's certainly spots where we were trying to move 399 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: up and it didn't work out, and be able to 400 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 2: rest really easy knowing, hey we did everything we could 401 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: to try and out get up and get that player, 402 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: or hey, I'm really glad that we had patience here 403 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: in that situation and let things come to us. So 404 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: it's a delicate balancing act trying to put yourself in 405 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 2: position for a player. 406 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike, thanks Man, Thanks everybody.
