James Palmer

And then this past year, with the entire world just talking about Nicky Manwari, has really made the position a little bit more attractive in terms of teams' aggressiveness towards it, specifically in the draft, too.

But I do think it's one of those situations, because of the relationship and the age,

that you can continue to probably keep tabs and see if there's a possibility to bring him back.

Because you're right, having both those guys back there, I think Kobe Bryant was a really, really good pick.

It's not a scheme fit entirely for him, but he's just enough of a player and brings that Super Bowl mentality.

And those guys are oftentimes coveted to teams that feel like they're on the cusp.

It happens, certainly, and that's why we have the comp pick system put in place lately.

Is that a touchy subject in Chicago, trying to bring up compensatory picks?

Yeah, it is interesting that within the bylaws, within the written aspect of it, Leila, yeah, it says, you know, a decision-making role, i.e.

general manager.

Essentially, when you use the term general manager in your description of it, it makes it, I think, completely insane.

But...

That's why when you draft that way, again, the salary cap infringes on your ability to keep everybody.

Seattle's going through this because John Snyder drafts really, really well, and everybody wants your players after you win a Super Bowl.

I remember that happened in 2015 in Denver with an unbelievable defense that got torn apart because of salary cap constraints, and you draft all these guys really, really well.

The player that I look at, and a direct example of what this is, is like Rasheed Walker, still available out there as a left tackle, who's a serviceable left tackle.

Is he a great left tackle?

No.

But they drafted him in the seventh round.

He's probably going to get paid in the next 48 hours here, and then they're going to get probably a third round pick in return.
