And if I'm making the sales pitch, right, if I'm if I'm making the sales pitch as Washington at the press conference, why did you take a guy like this in the top 10?
I'm saying turn on the tape of what we were asking Jaden Daniels to do for the last year and a half or for the first year and a half of his career before injuries really kind of ended his campaign last season.
And we can't do that to a guy that we genuinely believe can be an MVP.
Right.
We look at Lamar Jackson and what it did.
what was done for his career after they brought in Derrick Henry.
And he wasn't asked to do so much as the lead runner.
You look at what we've had to ask Jaden Daniels to do as a scrambler and in the design run game.
And then I'm going to show you Jeremiah Love's tape and say, I can get this guy the ball at any spot at any time of the game.
And he can turn six yards into 65 yards.
right?
This is a guy who can make people miss.
He can run between the tackles.
You can split him out as a wide receiver.
This is as close as we can get to a B. John Robinson, to a B. John Robinson level impact player.
And we're getting that right where B. John was picked, right?
Right in that same range of where B. John Robinson was picked.
You should be happy for us.
And I think that ultimately that is, I think that that is a persuasive enough argument to me to make this pick and not feel terrible about it, given what else is available on the board.
I mean, if you tell me that the lineup could be Jeremiah Love, Jaden Daniels, a combination of Terry McLaurin and a healthy Brandon Ayuk, I'm willing to listen.
