No, you're good.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Last time they took a pass rusher, 2016.

So here's the thing.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

If I were to get focused on an edge rusher at 25, what am I looking at?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Conceptually, Alex Kuhn, as you've been diving into the tape, much to the annoyance of your girlfriend...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

What are your thoughts on edge rushers who might be at 25?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Well, luckily I had about six hours of flights the last four days to catch up on the edge rusher position.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

You're looking at a lot of guys with flaws.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

You're not judging based on who has the least amount of flaws.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

You're judging based on which profile are you most willing to take a chance on at pick 25.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

And that's kind of the, to get back to your point, Speaks, the idea of if you are at a position of need, do you take risk inside of the position of need?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Do you take the steadiest guy or do you take the guy with upside?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Now, I feel like, and it's a very short draft profile that has been built by Ben Johnson plus Ryan Poles.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

I feel like early on, they might take risk on the guy with the most upside at the position of need, even though they have said they are on the record and have said, we are going to draft the best player available.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

The best player available allows for them to take risk, too.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

As a statement, it allows for them to be like, no, no, no, that guy is really, really good.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

We don't care that he's a wide receiver.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Yeah, I mean, God, wide receiver would be freaky.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

I'd be fine with it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

I would not.
