If you didn't have the quarterback and didn't have the optimism going into every season the way this team does, there'd be more of a panic and more pressure for all of these guys to really hit.
But because you got the quarterback, now the pressure becomes, how do we keep it rolling?
And they must feel pretty good about the LSU cornerback and to move up the way they did.
They saw something there and they knew what they were looking for.
And the track record of this personnel department with the Chiefs has been pretty much on point with anybody they've drafted, whether it's in the first round or later in the rounds at that position in the secondary.
They've had very good success.
And remember, you're drafting into a system as well.
It's not just what the kid and the raw ability where you play.
And I need the 32 teams possesses.
It's how does he fit in this particular system?
So whether this kid would fit in the green Bay system, the Indianapolis Colts system, the defensive system of the giants or the dolphins, I don't know if the same fit is there, but the way he fits in this is appealed to Brett and Andy and Steve.
They knew exactly what they were looking for.
They had done the due diligence.
The price was heavy, but the position is important as we know.
So let's, um, let's watch this kind of evolve here over the next couple of months, OTAs camp and how all that goes about.
I think they feel like he's, and listen, he's played in a gigantic stage at LSU in a terrific SEC.
He's played in big games before he knows what the pressure's like.
If they believe in him, I guess I go into it believing him as well.
