because of that pass rush.

And so, I mean, I think the Bears are not at a place where they don't have a functional working edge group, and they can go out tomorrow and win a football game with those edges, but just building depth, it felt like there would be a little more urgency to do that.

But I also think you can't force things.

You have to let the board fall to you.

And so with a Dylan Thieneman there at 25, I don't blame them at all for not passing up at that point in the draft.

And then once you get to day two,

I think it's, again, you don't want to reach for a position just because it's a need.

You want to let the board fall to you.

And I think that's kind of what they did.

I think day two kind of revealed just how they want to build, especially on offense, a couple of those key guys that they wanted to get that really the finishing touches of what they feel like that offense can be.

Sam Rosh, I wasn't surprised that he went that early.

I was a little surprised that the Bears wanted to get that third tight end that early in the draft.

But it's also, we went into the draft knowing there was going to be a run on tight ends.

We just weren't sure where.

And it started in the late second round.

And so I think when you look at it through that prism of, hey, if we don't get our guy now, we might get shut out of these, especially the wide tight ends, the guys that are big enough that are going to win at the point of attack as blockers, but can also go out, run routes and, you know, be.

some type of presence in the passing game.

So it really, again, like I said before, letting the board dictate which direction you go, that run starting where it did, I think helped inform their decision that, hey, we better go get Sam Roush now.

I mean, when you watch Roush on tape,

The only thing you don't love about him is the lack of length.
