I would not feel good about that.
But look, if they think there's a wide out who they're like, man, God, we love this guy, it would feel so gluttonous.
I don't think, to your description, Alex...
Probably can't get an elite edge at 25.
Can they get an elite defensive tackle at 25?
I don't know.
I think they can get an elite safety because of the way the position is valued.
You're going to be looking at one of the very best safeties at 25.
Yeah, to your point about the edge class, there's a lot of specialists here.
You either have pure pass rushers who struggle against the run, or guys who are good against the run with limited athletic traits.
And a guy like Keldrick Falk, who Brad Biggs brought up, more on him in a second, but he brought him up as a guy that could go to the Bears.
That is the archetype profile of what a Dennis Allen player
coach team is looking for in an edge rusher and you may have to trade up a little bit to get him and i know that will make a lot of people uh people's skin crawl but um the safety position seems like if they don't trade up that is a prime position at 25 to take one of the better safeties in this class because
it always seems like that position is falling too late in that round.
Think about Malachi Starks last year going to the Ravens at pick 27.
So it feels like that is just going to be there, whether it's Thienemann or McNeil Warren, if they don't trade up.
Would you guys like to know the best players...
That were drafted No.
25?
Or at least over the last 10 years, who's been picked No.
