Now, I would listen to...
If you wanted to say, well, are you talking about the true first-rounders or just anybody picked in the first round?
And this year, I had 22, I think, real first-round draft picks.
A lot of people had 11 or 12.
I think Sam McDowell, when we did our Red, Gold, and Bold, Sam had 10 or 11, and Jeff had one more.
Kenyon Sadiq was where we differed.
And Sam had good reasons for not putting him at number one.
I had more because I think your job as a general manager, I've said this, I think when that was first hatched, it would be 2024, right?
that were really first-rounders, and over time that keeps getting to be less and less and less.
Every year it's less.
And it's because I think general managers want a built-in excuse for their owners, and I think it's because people who cover the draft want a built-in excuse for why they didn't get somebody right.
I just think there are more.
Really, I only had five offensive tackles, and I think the sixth one from Arizona State probably belongs in that category as well.
I mean, a 6'7 kid who's only been playing football for about four years and can play at an all-big 12 level, and he's 6'7, 300-plus pounds.
The guy that went to Pittsburgh, Gianna Jordan.
I probably would look back at him and be like, yeah, that guy should truly be a first-round pick.
