With Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.
It's my pleasure.
Thanks for having me today.
Honestly, you know, like, I thought Ryan Poles did a good job.
Most general managers will tell you that they draft the best players available.
I don't think that was anywhere near the case.
I think they drafted because of the needs of a lot of, you know, departures from free agency and whatnot.
And so you go through the list of all their picks, they all look like they replaced certain players.
Now, I don't know, Kevin Byard, Jaquan Brisker,
I mean, Dylan Thienemann, that's a pretty easy pick.
I mean, I didn't think he would get past Dallas at 20.
I didn't think he'd get past the Eagles, even when they traded up.
Honestly, when the Eagles traded with the Cowboys, I thought they were trading to get Thienemann.
It's not that I had inside information or anything like that.
But I just thought it made sense.
The Eagles have a very...
a very big need for safeties just the way the Bears did.
So when they got Thienemann, I thought that was great.
But, you know, they lost Drew Dallman.
