And you have two of the top ten picks in the draft and a chance to reset with your types of guys.

Yeah, I had someone, I had a GM of another team say to me yesterday, and this is like verbatim, Duke had to do this for Joe.

Duke is their vice president player personnel, basically their GM, Duke Tobin, right?

And so, you know, like I think there was, there is that urgency, like we have to compete in the here and the now.

But this wasn't haphazard for them either.

You know, this is something that,

It was looking at the draft class.

It was looking at the value of the pick.

And I think they were looking at what might be available to them there at 10.

It probably would have been a Caleb Downs or a Mansoor Delane.

And what they found was, as they did their simulations, the guys they were picking at 10, for them at least, had mid to late first round grades.

That's the sort of draft it is.

So yeah, you're trading the 10th pick, but they didn't really value it that way this year.

and it was an opportunity to get a guy who can be a true difference maker for them and a force multiplier.

And so they effectively have taken a room, the defensive tackle room, that was a weakness last year and turned it into one of the strongest in the NFL.

They got Jonathan Allen, who's coming over from Minnesota, who's a great player for a lot of years in Washington.

They've got T.J.

Slayton, who's a good depth piece.

B.J.

Hill has been a really good player for them, former teammate of Lawrence's from New York.
