And it kind of just...
gives people an inside look of just how important football is to Pennsylvania and those steel towns.
I'm from central Pennsylvania, so I'm from the coal region, Pat.
So, you know, that's in our blood.
That's in our DNA.
But what a cool story and what a cool production that was.
That was awesome.
Is it throughout the whole draft as far as top 30 visits and stuff where you kind of keep your interests hidden?
Yeah, I did see the interview with Les, and I was kind of thinking in my mind, that's how we approach that, where we kind of looked at the draft, pick a nine.
We have a lot of needs on our team, but we also โ
We're picking nine.
We typically don't pick this high.
We want to take advantage of this opportunity.
And I think the way we approached it was we kind of had two things that we knew.
One being Mendoza, Love, Bailey, and Reese would be gone by six.
And the other thing we knew is that more than likely Cleveland wouldn't be picking at six.
Andrew Berry did a great job all weekend moving around the draft board, but it was known really at the owner's meeting right around that time that they had a lot of interest in moving down.
So, again, we kind of knew those four guys would be gone, and we knew that Cleveland wouldn't be picking at six.
And so to your point, I think the commanders at seven we thought โ
They'll be the first team in line for one of those guys, and it happened to be Stiles that snuck through.
