Well, it...

It's funny Brian, we've been talking about this for 30 years, best available player need, and it's never in a vacuum.

The best way to describe how this really works is every GM would love ideally to always pick best available.

So you wind up picking best available with sort of a percentage of your need involved

So every GM's goal during free agency is to enter the draft looking at a big white board, it's probably not a white board anymore, it's probably AI, it's probably a robot, and seeing there to be a starter at every, they say, can we get lined up?

And they can line up.

They can start a team right now with the possible exception of maybe outside linebacker.

But they're okay there with Ventrell Miller.

If he starts, they're fine and good with that.

Maybe defensive tackle.

But Eric Armstead, Devon Hamilton, you can start there and feel good on opening day.

So, yes.

James Gladstone said at his most recent availability that he likes the fact that they're in a position to draft without much regard to need.

You always have a little bit of that, but as much as you can, they're in good shape to go BAP.

Yeah, typically on something like this, it depends on the circumstance.

Sometimes it depends on how well the GM knows the agent, exactly how it looks.

But it's typically sort of as you would expect.

Both sides sort of have an idea of where numbers are out there.

The team usually makes an initial volley offer.

People, I think my answer when I answered this is...
