Matt Miller

Are you forcing a pick because you think you have a need there?

Are you forcing a trade-up because you think you have a need?

Or are you going to stay put?

and save your draft capital and invest in players you have a really high grade on who think would be a really good fit for your football team regardless of need and also understand we have an offensive head coach in this football town now okay so when you have an offensive head coach what are they going to draft offensive football players so i would expect up in house hall when they're having these discussions that ben johnson is a very

very loud voiceless, as you should as the head football coach.

Remember what I talked about when I hired Ben Johnson, that when you hire the right head coach, he's the most important person in that building.

I think that's what Ben Johnson is.

So I think at times, from a fan perspective, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Look what he did with his football team last year and understand what he's drafting for.

It's not automatically to win in September.

It's to have consistency winning in Chicago for a long time.

And that's why you look at a player like Logan Jones and say he can be the future quarterback

at one of the most critical positions on our offensive line.

It is because Iowa football now is under Tim Lester.

the offensive coordinator.

And Tim Lester and I grew up together.

We played baseball since we were six years old.

So I've known Tim for a long time.

And Tim, in between college stops, was in green band with Matt LaFleur.

So basically he is running the LaFleur, McVay, Shanahan style coaching tree, that coaching offense out in Iowa City.
