Yeah, I had them trading up in the fourth round to get an offensive lineman.
I think that's the only other one, Donnie.
And it's hard because, like, you have all these picks.
You accumulated this capital to go up and get a quarterback, and now what do you do with it?
Like, you can use it all, but you're not using it for the purpose that was really, you know, intended to use it for.
So, you know, I don't want to say they're stuck with 12 picks, but, yeah, they're going to have to get creative.
They're going to have to pick a player or two that they think is really worth it.
And the nice thing is they really have, they don't have any issues of pulling the trigger on these types of trades.
If they're really convinced that they can go up and get like a Santonio Holmes,
or a Troy Polamalu like they did back in the day with Kevin Colbert, they have the ammunition to do it, and they should do it.
You can worry about the 2027 quarterback class next year.
Use these picks now to better your team so when you do get a quarterback, you're a much better football team.
Yeah, and I had them kind of taking a risk in the third round.
And Chris Bell from Louisville said,
who had a tremendous game against Pitt.
He's a really good player, but he blew out his knee in December.
I think he blew out his knee early December or late November, and he didn't have surgery, I think, until like two or three weeks later.
So he's really going to be a guy who's probably not going to participate in training camp.
I'm guessing he would start the season on that short-term IR, and then maybe you get something out of him later on in his rookie season.
But the point is, it's probably going to be a redshirt year for him.
