Yeah, that's probably hard to say.
I think the good part is, based off of where we're mapping things out, there's a lot of deficit positions that we feel like we're going to address.
Beyond that, as it always seems to be the case, is when it comes to the rush,
There's a good chunk of defensive ends in this crop in comparison to maybe some of the others, which I think will make for an exciting first round, because typically when you can rush the passer, there's going to be a priority, a premium gets placed off that.
You know, I think it's always, there's no reason to think that guys that we might label as incomplete become complete by the time their NFL career is over.
There is development that occurs and surprises people.
It's why day three and undrafted college free agents become pro bowlers and all pros.
uh so to cap that as a concrete sort of outlook is hard to hard to do i think there will be plenty of people that four or five years from now surprise a lot of the remarks or counter a lot of the remarks that can be said but
To that end, it's typically the case that the guys on the inside, they tend to do a pretty good job at holding up against the run more than they would rush the passer.
That's typically the case.
So it's actually more abnormal to be somebody that's sacking the QB at a regular tick on the interior.
So by default, it's typically going to be the way you describe the inside of the
So I think there's plenty of reason to think that over the course of the next four years, some of these guys are going to surprise the narrative.
That's not something we've gone into, and obviously he's under contract with them, so not at liberty necessarily to even talk about it.
You know, I'd like to think that we're in a spot where everybody's in that bucket.
I do.
We cultivate the water cooler conversations, right, to make it less a boardroom style, more of, hey, if you were just catching me at the water cooler, what would you...
What would you bring to the surface?
What would you talk about and make it sound like that, not a buttoned-up report reading?
Because I do think it's very important to get to the actual sentiment and the root of how you're feeling about a player, a dynamic position conversation, all those types of things without trying to work around your real feelings.
