Maybe there weren't the surefire home runs at the top.

I think that's kind of what dragged this class down a little bit, but I still think there were plenty of good players, and I don't think it should be like, oh, this is a weak draft class.

Like, we don't really know for a couple years.

Yeah, for sure.

I think just the upside, right.

And, and, you know, just because there are the worries, like we saw the, the, the poor play this year, whether that was the wrong scheme fit, whatever it was, um,

if he becomes a nothing, like obviously it's a first round pick that, that you got nothing out of, but the, the upside is just tremendous.

And you get a guy who could, who easily could have went in the top 10.

If we were talking about this six, seven months ago.

So, you know, that's, that's, I like the, like, again, my draft rates were purely, you know, the, the big board and everything, but I do like if, if I take a step back and have context, like the woods pick is probably higher graded than I would have expected.

done just because he has that like we know that there was upside and i tend to think a lot of times guys maybe fall a little bit too much clemson's whole season was a disaster there's a lot of guys that fell down draft boards that that were going to be first round picks so i i do love that pick i think that's not love the pick but i do love the upside of the pick uh and i do think that's one that you're probably looking back in three years or so and being like hey i mean two first round picks and that one

you know, he didn't fall far enough or it was like he shouldn't have fell.

Like that's where I feel like it's going to be one of those two things.

And that's probably going to make or break the draft class.

Yeah, it's definitely there.

There's path forward.

Like I said, the roster rankings are there.

Their schedule is not exactly easy, so that's something that schedule does matter in the NFL.

It doesn't really get talked about too much, but you can get some pretty big swings from a team that has a top 10 schedule versus a team that has a bottom 10.

But like I said, it's hard to do.
