1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: All right. I like to first off start by thanking 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: my scouting staff along with many people in the building 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: through these thirty visits, the scouting process, the All Star Games, 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: the combine. You know, the coaches are heavily involved in 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: the process. A lot of zooms, they zoomed with a 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: lot of these prospects. I've been to a lot of dinners, 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of meetings in the facility with 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: some of the prospects that came through pro days, private 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: workouts also, whether it's you know, strength and conditioning coaches, uh, 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the cafeteria pat beyond, you know, their staff, Lannie, doctor Lannie. 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: You know, we put these these kids through, you know, 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: quite a process when they come through the building, and 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of people involved that are 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 1: critical in you know, our decision making. So I want 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: to thank them for that. With that being said, you know, 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: we feel like we're in a pretty good spot, you know, 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: with the draft coming up in eight days and you know, 18 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: there's still some work to do and some loose sins 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: that we're going to tie up meetings with coaches, you know, 20 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: some zooms. We can still do zooms with prospects, so 21 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: we're not there yet, but we're getting close, but you know, 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: feel good about where we are, So that open up 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: to two questions. 24 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: Still work to get that there's you guys are doing 25 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: some private workouts with quarterbacks. 26 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: Explain why the timing of it to do it's so 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 3: late in the process now maybe rather than sometime earlier. 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a unique calendar year. I think the draft 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: is as early as it can be, that Thursday in 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: April being the twenty fourth, you know, if you're speaking 31 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: specifically of Colorado, like their pro day was April fourth, 32 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: that was the last one. Two to three weeks after 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: the draft, we make our calendar for the next year, 34 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: and we have we have a process is that that's 35 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: in place that we believe in terms of how many 36 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: days we need for our meetings and medical, psychological, some 37 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: of the third party vendors that we use in terms 38 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: of how the calendar goes. So with the April fourth 39 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: pro day of Colorado, we were already in meetings. So 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: when I left you guys at the owners meetings, we 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: started that Wednesday, and that's how the calendar is for 42 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: us every year. So it was unique that a pro 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: day was that late and we had to stop meetings 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: to go out to Boulder. But these private workouts have 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: been in place, and what happens Jordan is a lot 46 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: of times these prospects won't do privates before their pro days. 47 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: So if we could have done a private workout with 48 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Shador before his pro day, we probably would have. But 49 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: the concern there is they also have receivers, and there's 50 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: a lot of receivers at Colorado, so you don't want 51 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: to be that team that does a private workout with 52 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: a prospect and then they pulled a muscle. Or one 53 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: year I was in Miami, there was a tight end 54 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: at Nebraska Omaha when they had football and he broke 55 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: his wrist at the private private workout and the pro 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: day was the next day, and all the scouts were 57 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: pissed off, So you got to be conscious of that. 58 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: You don't want these guys get injured before their pro 59 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: day when all thirty two teams can can watch them perform. 60 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: So there's nothing unique about this other than the calendar 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: is what it is this year, and we were in meetings. 62 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: Some of these prospects have had thirty visits, so you're 63 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: trying to connect the schedules. They're busy. We're busy, and 64 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: you know this was you know, the week where you 65 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: know we could get out there and you know, do 66 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: some of these other private workouts. And we're not just 67 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: doing this with quarterbacks. There's there's a couple of other 68 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: positions that we have private workouts that are coming up 69 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: as well. So it's just when you're trying to put 70 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: the big puzzle together and you know players are coming in, 71 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: they're at thirty visits, you know, the off season program. 72 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: You know, it takes takes two to be on the 73 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: same page, and you know, have openings where you can 74 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: get together put especially. Yeah, we have a process in 75 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: place that we've we've had. I mean this dates back 76 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: to when Daves and I worked together in Miami. You know, 77 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: I remember the Andy Andy Dalton outlet, you know some 78 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: of those guys. So it's a pretty thorough process in 79 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: place that we believe in and we've seen the results 80 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: play out at the position. So I'm not gonna getting 81 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: the specifics with that, but it's been tested, it's true, 82 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and you know it's a lot of times it's it's 83 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: panned out, know, whether we liked didn't like a prospect 84 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: and how they projected to the next level. 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: You discussed right from the beginning about the importance of 86 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: improving the quarterback position. You've signed a couple of veterans 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: and Russell Wilson James Winston. How important is it for 88 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: the Giants to select a quarterback at some point in 89 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: this draft. 90 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: With the signing of those two players, I think we 91 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: put our position ourselves in a position where, you know, 92 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that's mandatory or something that we're our 93 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: feet of the fire and we have to do. You know, 94 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: I think the two guys we signed have played a 95 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: lot of ball, They've got a lot of skins on 96 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: the wall, and I do think we've upgraded that room, 97 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, compared to where it was a year ago. 98 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: I like the two guys that we have, and you know, 99 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: Tommy's still in there, and he's won games for us too, 100 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: and he's still developing, you know, So we're happy with 101 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: the makeup of the room right now. 102 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 4: When you look at the league white trends, how much 103 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 4: does that effect or tweet or cause you to tweet 104 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 4: your processes When you look at, you know, some of 105 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 4: the things that the successful teams have last year, maybe 106 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: we're able to do in terms. 107 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: Of personnel, what trend are you like, for example. 108 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 4: You know, more defensive line rotation or running back emphasis, 109 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: you know that sort of thing. Does that you know 110 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 4: what your uh. 111 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Y y yeah, I mean I don't know if it's 112 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: a trends, but you look around like you look at 113 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, division and your matchups within the division, or 114 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: your opponents or or what's coming up, and ultimately you're 115 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: trying to build the best team. But I know, again 116 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: talking about Miami again with Miami and they had two 117 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: really ya New England had two really good tight ends. Well, 118 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: how are we gonna match up against these guys? So 119 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: if you have a weakness first you know, a certain 120 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: opponent that you gotta play a couple times a year. Y, 121 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, you look at that and how you're gonna 122 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: build your team because ultimately you wanna win your division. 123 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: So not so much trends around the league, but you 124 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: know it is a copycat lead. So coaches are looking 125 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: at that from from a personnel standpoint. It's really good 126 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: collaboration with with the coaching staff and what they're looking 127 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: for and what they need in order to put the 128 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: best product on the field and win games. 129 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 5: Sure, you go to a draft now obviously going to 130 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 5: the fourth draft that you've had, how much do you 131 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 5: have your current depth chart, your current roster, but also 132 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 5: project two three years down the road as to what 133 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 5: you have in the building, but also what you're going 134 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 5: to be drafting position wise where you look for Can 135 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 5: it be in two different silos? Is the current over 136 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 5: here and draft separate or you have to mention together. 137 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're always looking at that. Are that's that's that's 138 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: a good question. And Okay, here's where we are salary 139 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: cap wise going into twenty twenty six. Here's our players 140 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: that are going to be UFA's. If there's a guy 141 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: there in the second round that could maybe a backup 142 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: here one, but then we don't have to pay somebody 143 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. You know, you're looking at it that way. 144 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: Really good player, eventual starter. You know where you are 145 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: salary cap wise, whose contracts are coming up, So you're 146 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: always looking into the future. Hey, this eventual success or 147 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: to player X, if we don't get a deal done 148 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: or can't extend them, you're always looking into that. Yeah, 149 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I was talking about the other 150 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: day with our secondary Now like geez, like three years 151 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: from now, they're all up at the same time, and 152 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: Dexter is up at the same time, so I'm already 153 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, you're projecting down there a rookie class last 154 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: year if they want a first round or so three 155 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: years from now, there's there's a lot of guys core 156 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: guys right now that are you know, the contracts are 157 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: up at the same time, so you try to prevent 158 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: that when you're doing some deals here and there, and 159 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, but we're always conscious of that the you know, 160 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: the financial aspect of it, and then how are we 161 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: going to replace these players? 162 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 6: You know, a quarterback position different than almost andy when 163 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 6: you look at the draft as far as I mean, 164 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 6: the draft is seven rounds, so you don't take every 165 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 6: guy that you want to be a gold jacket, you know, 166 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 6: Hall of Fame star.

There's no reason to 169 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 6: take a quarterback anywhere in the draft, and unless you 170 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 6: think he can start for you and be a really 171 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 6: good player, or you take a guy in a different 172 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 6: round that he can be a he might make our team. 173 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 6: And be a depth guy would be a you know 174 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 6: what I'm saying, I mean, is that different You took 175 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 6: the quarterbacks differently than. 176 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: The other spots. 177 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's a little bit ties into arts question. 178 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: Just you know, backup quarterbacks are between four and say 179 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: ten million dollars, right, you know, I mean, whatever whatever 180 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: number you want to throw out. But so yeah, if 181 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: you can get a quarterback in the third fourth, whoever 182 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: it is, and he can be her backup quarterback, you know, 183 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: now you're open up financial resources that you don't have 184 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: to spend on a backup quarterback and he can be 185 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: a cost controlled player for four years that's not expensive 186 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: compared to what's on the open market. So yeah, like 187 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be Hey, this guy's got to 188 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: be a starter. Like, it'd be nice to have a 189 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: if it's a young backup quarterback on a rookie contract too, 190 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: because when you look at what we've paid for backup quarterbacks, 191 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: whether it was ty Rod Drew to where we're now, 192 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: that's now that's money you can spend elsewhere. So yeah, 193 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: and you know, to sign a guy with upside at 194 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: that position that can develop and you know, maybe Winnie 195 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: Games or maybe they develop into a number one. You know, 196 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: you're always looking at those scenarios. 197 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 2: This year's quarterback class, I. 198 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: Mean there's some depth to it. I mean there's there's 199 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: good players for various reasons, different ages, different playtime experience. 200 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: There's there's there's quarterbacks in this draft that'll that'll go 201 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: on and play and be starters in the League of 202 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: the future. To speak, yeah, I would say so. 203 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 5: I know you said you don't think it's mandatory to 204 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 5: get a quarterback indership, but how surprised. 205 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 2: Would you be if you got through the entirety of. 206 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 5: The drift and didn't have a didn't take a quarterback. 207 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: How surprised like a percentage or perc. 208 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 5: Going in in your head? 209 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: Do you think it's a likelies if you might end. 210 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 5: Up with a quarterback or do you think, yeah, where 211 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 5: do you stand on that? 212 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: At this point? 213 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: I don't know whatever else is that you're dealing with, 214 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, thirty one other teams and how they see 215 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: their boards. So yeah, if the value matches up with 216 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: with what we have on a player, and there's an 217 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to take any position, we'll do it. But I'm 218 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: not going to force it if it's not the right value. 219 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: And again, if if the board lines up when we're 220 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: on the clock and that's the position that that that 221 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: we want to go with, we'll go with it. But 222 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to be back into a 223 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: corner on that. How do you decide when to play? 224 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 7: Is worth a risk taking it where you might have 225 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 7: reservations on him, but you know it's worth the gamble 226 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 7: because there's other attributes that maybe he maybe he does hit. 227 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question too, And it's that the 228 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: issue doesn't change whatever it is depending on what it 229 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: is now. It could if it's medical. So if if 230 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: this guy has a you know it's coming off a 231 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: shoulder surgery, he's not gonna be ready till October, do 232 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: you drop that player a little bit since you're not 233 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: going to get into a week eight that's going to 234 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: get better. If a guy's not very smart or can't 235 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: do something that you're going to ask him to do, 236 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: or there's something that's not going to get better that 237 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: maybe you're not comfortable with. Maybe it's the kid has 238 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: some background issues or something like that. If you drop 239 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: them and say, okay, we can't pass on this guy, 240 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: the issues are still the issues, So that that's that's 241 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: what we we're wrestling with, depending what the issue is 242 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: and the support system and ecosystem that we have in 243 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: place here with player development and the coaching staff and 244 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: in the locker room, can we handle a player with 245 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: maybe an off field issue or maybe they're immature, or 246 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, whatever it may be. We're weighing the pros 247 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: and cons and you know, can we fix what you 248 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: know may cause them to fall? Is the risk worth 249 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: the reward? And then you know, is that what we 250 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: want to bring in our locker room? 251 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: How comfortable. 252 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: Up? 253 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 2: And have you made the decision? 254 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't. We're gonna we'll probably wait to have 255 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: for the draft on that and. 256 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: Next week program starts. 257 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 6: Have discussions continue with Evan as falls maybe sliding over 258 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 6: the golf. 259 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't talked to Evan. Again. I'll echo what 260 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: I said two weeks ago at the owners meetings, like 261 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: he's gonna do whatever he can do, uh to help 262 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: the organization and do what's best for the Giants. So 263 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, he's motivated, He's had a good off season, 264 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 1: he's been working hard, so you know, we're excited to 265 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: get him back in here and he's gonna do whatever 266 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: he can to help us. 267 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 8: Speaking about what. 268 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: Have you heard, I guess the most recent update on 269 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: where Audol Carter is. Yeah, we have that meeting tomorrow 270 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: with with Ronnie and his crew, so we'll have some 271 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: more information. We've been in contact with. He was here 272 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: on Friday. I think that was pretty well reported. So 273 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: it feels good. He's working out, he's running. Didn't even 274 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: know he had it, you know, he went to the combine. 275 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: It was news to him. So I don't think there's 276 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: gonna be much room for pause there with with the. 277 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: Drafts huner, who has said this week that he wants 278 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 3: to play both positions. When you meet with the player, 279 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 3: just how often do you discuss your fit, how you 280 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: want them to fit in with the universus, just kind 281 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: of what they envision their fit is. 282 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, the players ask us that all the time. You know, 283 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: how do you see me fit with your organization? So 284 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: Travis is a unique individual, you know, again Dave said 285 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: it at the Owners means you got to watch a 286 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: lot of plays on him, So he's he's fun to watch. 287 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: It's it's unique that you know the ball skills, the 288 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: route ability, and then also the ability to go to 289 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: the other side and you know, play corner like you 290 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: just don't see that very often. You know, a lot 291 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: of times if these guys can't catch or they can't 292 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: play receiver, then they get moved to dB. But you know, 293 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: this guy can do it all. So he's also you know, 294 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: he's a great kid, so it'd be hard to keep 295 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: him off the field. And you know he's motivated to 296 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: play both ways. So you know, again you're always worried 297 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: about the length of the season. You know, at the 298 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: NFL seventeen games and training camp, and you're just if 299 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: he gets hurt doing something that he's not doing full time, 300 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: you know, you're going to kick yourself. But he's he's 301 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: a unique athlete that I think we'll be able to 302 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: do both. What do you do as his primary position? Jeez, 303 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: we're in a position. We're in a unique position that 304 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, we have three good receivers and you know 305 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: we like our secondary right now, so that'd be our 306 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: situation will be unique. So you know, would not be 307 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: afraid to play them on both sides of the ball. 308 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 5: That is, for a player to do it on both 309 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 5: sides full time. 310 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: I think it would be difficult, but he's proven that 311 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: he can do it and be available, So you know 312 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: that's the unique part. But you know, you're always concerned 313 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: with these guys. We're looking at the the workloads and 314 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: the yardage each day and then you know, to me, 315 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: what will what will have to be settled? Is the 316 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: mental part of it, because you know, the offense is 317 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: very hard to learn, and then the defense on a 318 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: weekly basis, like you're it's not college anymore, where hey, 319 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: these are these are basic plays. This is our basic defense. 320 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: And we're gonna go play cover three against Kansas, We're 321 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: gonna play cover three against Nebraska. There's a lot more 322 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: week to week, you know, matchup type stuff that our 323 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: coaches are doing. So just how much can you handle 324 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: mentally where you can go out there and execute and 325 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: they can trust you to do your job. So physically, 326 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt the kid. 327 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 7: When you look at Trevor, most people around the league 328 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 7: seem to say like he has all world potential a corner. 329 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 7: He also has all world potential at receiver. I mean, 330 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 7: do you share that boat where he can be that 331 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 7: good at both spots? 332 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't doubt the kid. 333 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's that type of athlete and he's 334 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: had that type of I mean, it's it's insane the 335 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: amount of Snapsy played, amount of snapsy plays a game, 336 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: doesn't sit down, You goes over, gets a drink of water, 337 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: and gets back out on the field. So he's got 338 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: that type of athleticism, he's got the right mindset. He's 339 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: a great kid. So I wouldn't doubt him. 340 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 9: The future in terms of you know, looking ahead, signing 341 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 9: guys in the salary. 342 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: Cap and all of that. When you think about. 343 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 9: Potentially trading assets, you know, to move around in the draft, 344 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 9: do you sort of take the long view as far 345 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 9: as not only what assets you might have in the future, 346 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 9: but but what the drafts might look like long term. 347 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Yeah, yeah, we take all that into account. 348 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: Usually if you're gonna it depends, so like if you're 349 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: looking long term, it's you know, you got to make 350 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: sure it's a player that you really like if you're 351 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: talking about trading future future assets. But but yeah, we 352 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: take all that into account. 353 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 4: Is that you know, set up like he is for 354 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 4: you as to where he might fit in, is you're 355 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: such a thing as too many pass rushers in your mind. 356 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean everybody watched the Super Bowl, right, 357 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: Philly rushed with how many for the whole game? So 358 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: that was that's that's one way to do it. So yeah, 359 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean if you think about any of these players, 360 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: you know that you know may or may not be 361 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: in the mix. Uh, you know, as a unique player 362 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: like him that played off the ball for two years 363 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: and then he's only played one season, you know, off 364 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: off the edge and you know, had a really good season. 365 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: You know, then you you got cave on and you 366 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: got burns, you got decks inside, you got I mean 367 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: there's just he gives you a lot of options, you know, 368 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: as a versatile player. He's young, just you know, it's 369 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: twenty one years old and you know, exciting player to watch. 370 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, you can't you can't have enough. You have 371 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: have enough pass rushers. 372 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: Would you spot for him. 373 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 4: Given that you know primarily he's I think once up 374 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 4: the same spots as. 375 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 6: The other best. 376 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, we would find a way. You know, we find 377 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: it's no different than with Travis Hunter. Like we could 378 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: and you got a first round corner and we just 379 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: brought in Paulson, and you know, we got three. Like 380 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: you figure it out, Like you've got good football players, 381 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: you figure out find a way to get them on 382 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: get them on the field, and utilize. 383 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 2: Them as the best player available. Line with the most 384 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: important player to your organization. Like the need that you have. 385 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: Do you have to kind of balance that year? Yeah, 386 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: you're always doing that. You're always you're always balancing that. 387 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: But again, I've tried to set it up each year 388 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: that we can go into the draft and we can 389 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: play a game and you know, the hope is that 390 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: you're you're better than you were the year before as 391 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: of today or you know, next Thursday when we go 392 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: to play the game. So if there is a blue 393 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: chip or generational type talent or something you just can't 394 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: pass on, even if you maybe already have starters of 395 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: that position, you just you don't pass on that type 396 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: of player. So you know, again then if if you 397 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: go need base, that's when you know, I think sometimes 398 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: you know you can make you know, you can make 399 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: mistakes at times, So you know, again, I like to 400 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: go in so you're not backed into a corner where 401 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: you have to take a certain position and you could 402 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: take the best player available. 403 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 7: I don't expect you to literally he answer this question directly, 404 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 7: But do you have a pretty good idea or do 405 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 7: you know what's going to happen at one and two 406 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 7: at this point or are you still in the information 407 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 7: gathering process waiting to try to figure out what's going 408 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 7: to happen. 409 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still in the information gathering process. I mean, again, 410 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: we sell my guys when we look at our board 411 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: or free agency or values that we assume everybody sees 412 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: it like us, and that's not always the case. So 413 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: still gathering information. I mean there's rumors of what what 414 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: teams may or may not do. But you know what 415 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: we can control is, hey, come up with three players 416 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: we're happy with and rank those guys and if they 417 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: don't go in that order, they go in a different order, 418 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: knowing who we like best of those three players, and 419 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: you know that that's what we can control. But yeah, still, 420 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: you know there's still a rumor mill. It's it's that 421 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: time of year, it's you know, rumors everywhere. So have 422 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: somewhat of a sense that I think will happen, But 423 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, obviously I don't know that for a fact, Like. 424 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 6: I'm sure every year when you guys come together for 425 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 6: your meetings that people have different ideas. 426 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: About one, two, three, four. 427 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 6: You know, were there a lot more divergent ideas this 428 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 6: time or or was we just kind of walking in the. 429 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: Room, say, everybody's got. 430 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 6: Hid number one. 431 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. So we have the horizontal board, which is you know, 432 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: it's a quarterback running back, you know, all the way 433 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: across offense versus defense. And then we do a vertical stack. 434 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: So that's where we just did it this past weekend 435 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: with the scouts. They just left last night or actually 436 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: this morning, the scouts left, but we were finished up 437 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: our meetings last night. And that's where you get into 438 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: the you know, the the hard conversations because if these 439 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: two players are there, which is a reality like they 440 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: may be there, who are going to take and why? 441 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of respectful debates in the draft 442 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: room when when it comes down to and a lot 443 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: of times it's two good players or two players we 444 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: really like. That's where there's discrepancies in the room. And 445 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: ultimately I'm tasked with making the final decision. But you know, 446 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: we'll we'll phone in the coaches and you know, get 447 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: their opinion if those guys are there, or if it's 448 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: two positions and we love both players, which which position 449 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: you know best helps the New York Giants? Like we 450 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: love both players, it's the same value. You know, who's 451 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: going to help us the best? So, you know it 452 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: is it's a it's a collaborative process. You know, scouts 453 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: do a great job. They're on the road one hundred 454 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: and fifty days a year and they know these players 455 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: inside it out. And then we bring the coaches in 456 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: and get their opinion and if if there's discrepancies, which 457 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: that's what this week and early in the next week is, 458 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: we'll we'll work through or we'll we'll get the film 459 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: and watch it together and okay, let me see if 460 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: we can see what you see or you know, we 461 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: try to coherse them into you know, seeing them how 462 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: how we like them. So it's a good process. It's 463 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: a good group of people, a lot of good professionals, 464 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: and you know, the collaboration and communication has been is 465 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: very good. 466 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: Is John Marra going to Boulder tomorrow. 467 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: With you guys? John Mason? What does what. 468 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 5: Does leadership look like to you at the quarterback position? 469 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: You know, to me, probably one of the best I've 470 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: seen is you know I've been around are the ones 471 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: that I've been around, or you know, the ability to 472 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: to motivate and get people to follow, you know, to 473 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: to bring the team up when things are down and 474 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: and motivate the rest of the group. And we we 475 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: talk about a lot. You know, you're you're the face 476 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: of the franchise, so like people are watching you, all 477 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: eyes are on you, and you know your work ethic, 478 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: how you approach the game. You know your ability to 479 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: interact and connect teammates, and you know, across both sides 480 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: of the ball, offense, defense. You know, I think that's 481 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: all that's all really important. You know at that position specifically, 482 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, trying to get on. 483 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 9: The same page. 484 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 8: Is it especially important that the organization that everybody's on 485 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 8: the same page. If you're looking at a quarterback and 486 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 8: if there is a discrepancy, how do you break that 487 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 8: tie or do you just pass on that on that player? 488 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? Know, ultimately decision falls on me. So you go 489 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: through the whole process and there are describing there's there's 490 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: been discrepancies in all different rounds, all different positions and 491 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: in minia drafts, and ultimately you know, final say typically 492 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: goes with the general manager, so you ultimately got if 493 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: there's a discrepancy and at the end of the day, 494 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm convicted, you know, that's the decision has to be made. 495 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: So that's that's how we do it. Training down, Yeah, 496 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: well we'll be open to all options. I mean, those 497 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: type of strategy sessions have been ongoing and you know, 498 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: talking through different scenarios. So yeah, well we're always going 499 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: to be open to you know, either or those scenarios 500 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: of interest from teams looking to train up. We we've 501 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: received some calls. Yeah, we've received some calls. 502 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 6: Well, obviously don't want to be three in the future, 503 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 6: but in this position, do you feel you can't miss 504 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 6: on a player at this point? I mean pretty much 505 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 6: a lot of rankings have can't forward. Going one, you 506 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 6: have a quality of to have Travis on Germany. That 507 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 6: seems to be a pretty consensus. One, two, three You 508 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 6: may different with that. I don't know, but I mean 509 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 6: do you think at number three, if you just sit 510 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 6: there and you say we have top three players rank 511 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 6: whoever is there, you feel like it's almost as. 512 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: Much of a campus players is possible in a drift. 513 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: We like we like our options. We like who will 514 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: be there? Would like who'll be there? 515 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 2: As is your fourth drift? Right? 516 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: You haven't had a chance. 517 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 2: To put in the car for a quarterback yet? Is that? 518 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: Is that an inch? 519 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 5: Is that something that gems you know you want to do? 520 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: You want? 521 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? Where we are? Yeah, I mean it's you would 522 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: like to have, you know, a young franchise quarterback. I 523 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: think every general manager would be you know, everybody wants that, 524 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, so, but the value has to be right 525 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: or it's not. It doesn't matter. I mean, you get 526 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: that one wrong, you know, you just got to get 527 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: that right. So when in a position to get the 528 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: right one at the right time, that's when you pull 529 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: the trigger, Joe. 530 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: More lose the ability you want right now? Could that 531 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 2: change the worrow? Could that change on Thursday? 532 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still working again. We're gonna run out the 533 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: shot clock here. We have until next Thursday. So we're 534 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: going to continue to keep doing our due diligence. And 535 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of teams around the 536 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: league are doing the same thing we're doing right now. 537 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: They're in meetings. So the phone calls usually pick up, 538 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, early next week when guys are out of 539 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: meetings and you're you're getting close to the draft, and 540 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, we'll continue to make our calls to whether 541 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: it's college coaches, high school coaches, you know, whatever research 542 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: we need to continue to do. And you again, that's 543 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,239 Speaker 1: that's been our process. And you know, uh, what are 544 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: good on Thursday? 545 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: What's your urgency to find a young franchise quarterback industry? 546 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, like again, everybody wants one of those. You know, 547 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: yeah Land won this year. No, I mean if there's 548 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: not if there's not one, or you don't perceive there 549 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: to be one, or it's not available when you pick, 550 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's out of your control. So I mean, yeah, 551 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: we we would love to have one. If if there's 552 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: one available, we will definitely take. 553 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 5: One's strength of the drafts and defensive line is very strong. 554 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 3: Running back you've used this draft as a whole with 555 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: the quarterback position. 556 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 4: Aside for a second. 557 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the D line group and the edge 558 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: group for us, you know, the outside backers and D 559 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: line is a really deep group. I would say running 560 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: backs is a deep group. Corners, you know, there's some 561 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: depth a corners, So I mean those would be the 562 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: ones where you know. I think there's some good depth. 563 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: There's some high end guys at other positions, just maybe 564 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: not as much depth
