I know that may not be the most popular thing because people see kind of like on my board have yellow tags where

We need to fill in.

But at the same time, I do believe, especially in early rounds like one, you really got to stick the best player available.

We saw that last year.

I know there's a lot of questions like, yeah, Cole, why would you take Colston?

I think we found out that it helped us along the way.

So we'll continue to lean in that philosophy.

Something new is, you know, we created a draft simulator that has some analytics built in based on team needs.

You're a part of that.

You don't even know.

We dump in thousands of mock drafts into this.

It is scary on how accurate it gets as you get into April.

I can rep the draft 150 times in April before we get to it.

And it's just like preparing for a game.

It's slow motion.

Nothing surprises you because you've worked some of those crazy, you know, someone picked someone right before you or a trade happened.

And your ability to adapt and adjust along the way gets really, really high.
