But so much... This is why quarterback rankings change so much from now until April.

Because it's not like there's more games happening.

Why are we changing these things?

Because that...

Understanding the processing speed, aptitude, football IQ, those things matter so much for these guys that the private workouts, the interviews, the pro days actually do matter.

They actually do affect draft stock because it's coaches and scouts getting around those players in a one-on-one setting and saying, okay, maybe Mendoza ran a ton of RPO.

But he knows what he's doing.

He can process, he can break things down.

Now we've got time to go back and watch the cut-ups of his throws where he is making plays on time, and that makes you either more or less comfortable with the player.

I know I'm asking you to fix a lot of things in this segment, Matt, but I want to ask you to...

to at least give me your perspective on something else that's been going on.

And Speaks and I have been talking about it over the last couple of days.

It's the hiring practices that have gone on in this cycle of the NFL.

You talk to all sorts of assistants from every level.

How are candidates for promotion feeling about the way NFL jobs are going?

Well, no one feels great.

I can tell you that.

And I think there's always going to be that idea of it's so much about what's hot right now instead of what works.

Because I think what works is you have your Ben Johnsons, right?

Great on one side, innovative strategy.
