Ryan Poles

You and Ryan both were pretty open all offseason about needing pass rush improvement.

The fact that you didn't sign a big name one in Braves, you didn't draft an edge rusher.

How is it going to get better with the same guys who were out there last year?

I want to thank our staff.

cool parts of a draft process is everyone's got a part.

Everyone leans into the process and and and puts in the work and on draft day you see it all come together and

Our staff is amazing at what they do, the time that they spend on it, and the ability to work together.

We found great alignment, and that created a lot of good clarity, which resulted in a good draft.

I know we got better.

As a football team, we had a competition, and usually when you add competition, good things happen.

I'll say this, this was probably the most aggressive we were in terms of the guys that we really like, like they have to play our style.

Um, they got to have the right makeup, um, in terms of our scheme fits, like all of that had to be there.

If it wasn't there, you're off the board.

Um, we were really aggressive with it.

So when you look at it, it feels really thin.

Um, but that's a good thing.

I think it's a really good thing because we're very selective of who we want.

Um,

There's some historical numbers that I have that makes me feel confident that there's going to be guys that we like still available to us.

So thankfully, the numbers are high enough where, you know, I'll be able to sleep a little bit tonight.
