It constantly gets shuffled up and moved around, and it's the challenge of putting together the best puzzle you can with different pieces.

So really difficult, but that's what we signed up for.

You've got to make those tough decisions, and they are business decisions.

You kind of...

try to take your emotions out of it and do what's best for the organization.

Yeah, 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.

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.

Yeah, it's really difficult.

We spent a lot of time working through that process.

There's some unknowns there.

There's some projections, just in terms of return time.

And then you want to know, is that athlete going to return to be the same player he was before?

Could they go downhill?

So there's a lot of projections, and that makes it a little bit difficult.
