Yeah, something right around there. The thing I like about the Pats, what they've done in free agency, is it's kind of like the perfect example of what teams should do in free agency, which is... You're hedging against what you're going to potentially have to do in the draft.

So the Pats can go any direction now with their pick in the first round and all their picks, really, because they they address the interior defensive line. You know, they added linebacker. They added a starting corner. they added a right tackle. I think the one thing they still really need is a receiver. Yeah.

Game breaking a guy who can make a big play every once in a while, but they don't have to take that with, you know, their first round or they can usually, they could, they couldn't go for a second round guy. And I think he could still be a contributor. That's the kind of class this is. So they've, they've hedged. So they're not being, they're not being painted into a corner at any one position.

Like we said just before, you know, having to be desperate at any position is just, it's a bad play to make. So yeah, That's the one really, I think, just smart thing that they've done in free agency is they've addressed basically all their big needs other than receiver so far.
