I didn't.

But I just thought it made sense.

Eagles have a very big need for safeties just the way the Bears did.

So when they got Thieneman, I thought that was great.

But, you know, they lost Drew Dahlman.

They signed Garrett Bradbury.

I mean, there's Logan Jones all the way down.

You know, they drafted, I thought, good players, but almost as important, you know, players in positions of need after the departures they had.

Well, there was a run on tackles that was occurring right at that stretch.

It started at nine when Fano went to Cleveland.

And then, you know, so I thought tackle was a possibility.

But a lot of good tackles had already been taken.

Caden Proctor had already left.

I think maybe he went to Miami right after that.

But regardless, was he the best player?

He was as good as anybody else that was available at 25, I thought.

I thought they'd be interested in Gabe Atkins, who went to New England in the second round.

You know, he went to Illinois.

They signed Josh Krutz from Illinois.

I know he's right in their backyard.
