I do think in a league where everyone's complaining about all these two high shells and you have to, you know, you're taking away some of these great quarterbacks in the deep ball and all that stuff. There's a counter to it. And a lot of people, not everybody, but a lot of people complained when Detroit took Jameer Gibbs that high in the first round. Not a premium position.

Running backs being devalued. What are they doing? Well, Brad Holmes, the general manager, he knew his personnel, knew his offensive coordinator and Ben Johnson, and knew they needed to have a counter to what was going on in terms of defensive coverages and the schemes that were being played against his offensive attack. So I think Jinty, no matter where we are in the NFL, is a top 10 pick.

No matter what era it is, no matter what emphasis it is on the passing game or running, he's a top 10 pick. I do think last year, watching Saquon and watching Derrick Henry and watching some of the impact of the running game and knowing what's going on defensively, we saw more of an emphasis on the running back position. I think this year it'll play out in the draft.

There's going to be a lot of backs that go in the first three rounds.

DJ, I went back and looked last year, right? And I think this is a big difference in the two drafts, 2024 and 2025. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but I think it was 9% of the first round were non-premium position players. We talk about premium, obviously quarterback, pass rusher, cornerbacks that cover the wide receivers and the wide receivers have become...

And offensive tackles. So all the non, like interior offensive line, linebacker, safety, tight ends. It was 91% of the first round was premium positions. And then only 17% in the second round. It was the non-premium positions. And then you got to the third round where everyone's comfortable taking those guys. 54% were the non-premium position. This year is going to be different, man.

We get two guards, Zabel and Booker, who are going to probably go in the first round. We've got the two tight ends, maybe three with Mason Taylor at the very end coming out of LSU. We've got running backs.
