He's the one who extended Montez Sweat.

He's the one who signed Dio Odengbo.

He's the one who gave DJ Moore another contract.

I don't criticize all of those decisions to that extent, but the big money deals, which is what I'm trying to illustrate, including extending Jalen Johnson, who wasn't his player.

These are Ryan Pohl's front office decisions.

You know, when you consider all of that together and knowing how important this draft is, you don't have the same kind of capital and the room for error that you did previously to make these big swings and make big mistakes.

You don't have the room for error to trade a second round pick that was higher than the pick where he was drafted in Chase Claypool and be able to make that big of a mistake.

You don't have the capital to spend a lot of money on a guy who you hope can change into something you want, who already had one torn Achilles and die a dang bow and expect him to turn out.

And whatever rubric you are measuring or whatever process do you think you have or you think that you have uncovered all these diamonds that are sometimes just themselves?

It makes me wonder about all of it when I hear something like this, because who's telling you who to draft?

And I think, Ray, you brought it up.

We don't give the Tyler Dunn piece a lot of discussion when it comes to various factors in the piece.

But one of the parts of the story that was pretty critical was the discussion about Ryan Poles and reportedly, according to the Tyler Dunn piece, take with it what you will.

The part where the sources said, the media will kill me if I don't draft Caleb Williams.

Do I think he has a better group around him now?

Yes.

But at the same time, Ben Johnson was in Detroit's building for a lot of who they were probably scouting for the NFL draft just based on the timing.

You don't have the Brad Holmes knowledge for this next draft class.

So how is that going to affect things?

And it's funny that you bring up, Marshall, the decisions regarding free agency, for example.
