And the report back to the GM was it's a fail.

And obviously it gets a lot of attention, but these kind of things happen all the time in sports.

I mean, we don't know all the details, and we don't know the...

You know, some of these things are not black and white.

There could be some gray there.

And maybe if this was a trade for a six round pick, you pass them.

You know, it's all related.

Like the magnitude of the trade is related to the importance of the physical.

And maybe if it's a fifth round pick, you're like, OK, we know he's not ready till July or whatever it's going to be.

Yeah, for that risk, we'll do it.

But it's all related.

You know, so would Eric DaCosta be doing this if it was a low-level player for a future seventh-round pick?

Probably not.

But I don't think they're sitting there saying, Jesus, you know, two first-round picks, we really want to get rid of those, even if the player is healthy.

No, I don't think that.

So they're getting some slam out there.

But I think...

If I'm in the Ravens' front office, I'm saying, okay, we can go through with this and keep our reputation clean out there, but maybe have thrown away two first-round picks for damaged goods.

Or we can take whatever PR hit it's going to be and feel good about failing the physical on them.

Well, it's a massive investment and we've seen two this year already.
