But in this class, yes, because I'd much rather have, especially with downs and we just shoot, we're just talking about what Kobe Bryant going to the Bears.

If he's in the right, the hands of the right defensive coordinator, he can do what like a center does.

On offense, like just calm everyone else down, kind of get everyone lined up.

And it's kind of he's kind of his own thing, but there's more safeties playing like this.

He has a lot of Buda Baker to his game and his usage where they kind of do this rover where it's a it's it's hard to describe, but it's in between the linebackers and the safeties.

essentially it's and then he kind of uh it's old school they used to call it a monster back which is signed c ball get ball um but they like he wants because why they do that is you're letting him use his football iq to read the game out and close and more safeties are getting used this like even uh uh dylan teeneman uh teeneman from oregon gets used this way a little bit as well it's a good safety class uh a man emmanuel mcneil from um

toledo is very exciting he's got some cam chancellor to him uh but i do think that with with caleb downs is that he can again provide that kind of boost effect for everybody else he just has to get in the hands of the right guy but i do think he has some positional versatility or um scheme versatility like if it's a quarter safety or quarters defense or something like that but again in this draft class i would much rather have that kind of what i consider quote-unquote safer i can envision how this guy's going to play for me as opposed to

depends on what team you are but as opposed to maybe like Keldrick Falk who I really like but it's like hey that's projection yeah you know that's that's a lot of like hey hopefully this works or you know I probably deferred offensive lineman more but there's some offensive lineman more projecty type of guys so I think the sure thing of him is has some appeal in this type of draft class

Yes, but not as much as I think he's asking for.

Yeah.

Because, again, age.

If you see who's getting paid right now, younger guys.

You know, obviously, you want to get guys...

for their 30, which every year I get older than 30, I'm like, Oh man, this hurts.

But I do think too, is he has some limitations.

He's an excellent pass rusher.

Like no one ever doubts that is that he's a weakness against the run.

So it's not just like I'm trading for Khalil Mack or I'm paying that or fricking Reggie white, you know, guys that are just dominant.

Every snap Hendrickson is a specific player.

You know, he has to be used in certain ways and it has to be kind of hidden at some time.
