And, you know, if you look at it, Joe, we talked about this at the top.
They still don't have their future franchise quarterback.
And, you know, there's Arch Manning next year.
you know, Lenora sellers, there's, you know, potentially five or six guys who could end up being first round picks.
And you want to have as much ammunition as you can to move up.
Let's say the Steelers are 10 and seven again, and they're picking around the same spot in the draft, you know, between 20 and 24, you're going to need a lot of ammunition to go out and to move up and get a quarterback.
So that's why it's topical.
You know, the Steelers would probably have to trade, you know,
their first round pick next year and probably a future first round pick and, you know, maybe a second or a third, you know, in some other year.
So they would have to have the ammunition to get that done.
They were set up to do that this year with all the picks that they accumulated, but it just turns out that this is very, you know, very average to below average quarterback draft.
And they did all that work and now they have all these extra picks and they got to figure out what they're going to do with them.
Yeah, I like the word toggle back and forth because I think they view Jalen Ramsey as kind of like a positionless player who is going to line up in a different spot
play-to-play, game-to-game, week-to-week.
I just don't think he's going to be locked into safety, slot corner.
His days as an outside corner are probably over.
So I think they're going to move him around.
If they're facing a big-time pass-catching tight end one week, he might be the guy who matches up on that guy in the slot.
If it's a different kind of a matchup, maybe he's back in deep center field.
To answer your question about a safety, yes.
