But, you know, again, I think what you were kind of getting to there with,

Maybe it's not a Joe Alt or maybe it's not a Panay Sewell I think is also incredibly important because there are still offensive linemen that are not making all pro teams on an annual basis that

are worth taking in the first round.

I mean, if you can take a quality player and plug him in at one side of the offensive line and just not have to worry about that position for the next decade, that's worthy of a first round pick to me.

You know, he may not have the same upside as a Joe Walt or someone of that nature, but there's so few of those linemen that walk this earth anyway.

You know, you're kind of chasing a ghost in that regard if that's kind of your standard.

So if you have a need at the position, I certainly think there's going to be

players in this draft class that kind of check that box.

You know, whether it's Blake Miller from Clemson or Maxi Anachor from Arizona State, some of those guys that we've already mentioned, Utah's Caleb Lomu, Monroe Friedling from Georgia, Caden Proctor from Alabama.

I think there's a strong chance that each of those guys are taken in the first round because

there's always going to be a need for quality offensive linemen, even if they're not the true blue chip that we're accustomed to seeing.

Yeah, I think in today's NIL landscape, that's one of the benefits.

is that the picture changes on an annual basis for better or worse.

You know, they may also bring in more competition at your position, but at least you have some clarity on your situation each year.

And if you don't like what you see, you can just go somewhere else and chase that playing time.

So I do think that's one of the benefits of NIL.

I think what you're kind of missing there potentially, if you do that is, you know, the consistency, the, you know, just the growth that you would experience having maybe one coach over,

and playing in one scheme over multiple years.

But, you know, I'd like to think that linemen are taking that into consideration when making those decisions.

But with Freeling, you know, it's, it's so interesting.
