We were really aggressive with it.

So when you look at it, it feels really thin, but that's a good thing.

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

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.

Just confidence in our system.

And then, again, this staff is unbelievable.

We're just given clarity.

And I think as we continue to work with each other, we're going to know exactly what we're looking for.

So why mess around with those that don't fit what we're trying to do?

And then we're having conversations in the summertime and in the fall of why that guy can't play for us or it's not a fit.

So, yeah, I think both things are true, just confidence in the system.

Our scouts do an unbelievable job gathering information.

And then our coaching staff is really clear with what they're looking for.

So it's a really good marriage.

Philosophically, I feel the same.

It's going to be the best player available.

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 to the best player available.

We saw that last year.
