There's also an argument, and look, we've seen in the league, there was this trend toward drafting more athletic quarterbacks, right?
I'm going to go Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson.
Anthony Richardson, right?
Oh man, he's so athletic.
Combine numbers are amazing.
Look what he can do.
Guess what?
All those guys have not lived up to expectations.
All of them.
So I think for Sean, it's less about like, oh, is this guy the equivalent to the last guy in the draft?

I'm drafting a guy like this guy, especially Sean, who's such a system guy, right?
He's got his own way of doing everything and he's so smart.
