They viewed him as the difference maker in this year's class.

And I think for Floor and his staff...

It's like, how can we be functional offensively?

How can we set up something?

So, you know, whenever we plug our young quarterback in, there's something for that young quarterback to work with.

You know, I kind of equate it to like when the Rams took Todd Gurley in 2015, a year ahead of getting Jared Goff and how much Gurley meant for Goff's development.

You know, you get a guy in there, you don't have to wear him out in year one because you have Tyler Algier, who you signed from Atlanta and James Conner,

And, you know, you now have a piece that you can build around.

Now, my question will be whether or not the timelines match up, you know, and like, are you going to be able to get good fast enough that there's going to be enough of the guys prime left based on the track record of that position?

But I think, you know, a lot of people view them as the best player in the draft.

Like I tell you, the Giants had him right there, him and Arvel Reese with even grades, number one in the draft.

And so, like, it's a middle-of-the-fairway pick for the general manager, Monty Austin Ford, who I think also was looking at the idea of taking an offensive lineman.

It's safe in the top five, the same way Marvin Harrison and Paris Johnson were seen as safe when he was picking in the top five the last few years.

And look, like, I don't want to ignore this part of it, but I think there's an ownership element of it, too.

I mean, they're down near the bottom of the league in ticket revenue and that sort of stuff, and I know those things can...

Can be a factor, you know, and maybe the owner influencing people to go one way or the other.

So the idea that you can sell tickets and jerseys and all that stuff with an offensive skill player shouldn't be ignored.

Yeah, I was.

I had somebody there tell me...

Well, like you said, we're going to take a Buckeye, which like this year made it like a little complicated.
