I'm doing great, although I usually feel like I'm the exact opposite of that song.
I make nothing out of everything.
That's an interesting question.
And I think they would still take Delane.
Taking them at their word that,
they felt that Delane was the best corner in this draft.
I think they would absolutely still have him on the board at that spot.
Question is, would they take another receiver?
And I think it would be more likely that they might consider a receiver later, you know, either in the Peter Woods spot or maybe in the R. Mason Thomas spot, because I get the sense at the end of the day that they just didn't think that any of those receivers in the draft, for the most part,
were worth the six or the nine pick.
Otherwise, I think that, hey, there wouldn't have been necessarily any reason not to stand pat and wait for one of those guys and see what happened.
I mean, maybe they would have settled for one of them, but they felt like Delane was the guy, and that was a...
just as big of a need, I think, as receiver after the Trent McDuffie trade.
And remember, I mean, in the grand calculus, you know, what were they really putting at risk, you know, as far as Rasheed Rice on draft day that was any different?
I mean, you know, you have the exact same room.
The only thing, your only calculation is that you have one year of Rasheed Rice, and that's it.
I mean, otherwise, I mean, I think you almost just assume, if you're the Chiefs, that Rasheed Rice is not going to be on your team going forward.
So I don't know if it would have really changed, even if you had just said, hey, Rasheed Rice is going to be out.
You're not going to have him at all in 2026.
