I just think, you know, he's a player that was always kind of in that late first round discussion. I think the way the NFL is now, with looking for long safeties, chess pieces, guys that can cover. We've seen what Hamilton's done in Baltimore. Just that versatility as an athlete. For me, he stole the show. You just don't see guys like that move and jump and participate in the way he did.

Yeah, and there was a discussion, right? Malachi Starks coming into the year, everyone was kind of mocking him or ranking him somewhere in the top 10, 12 players from Georgia. Didn't have the best year. He made some mistakes, kind of playing hero ball at times, but still a phenomenal player. So I think the question was coming into this, is one going to separate from the other?

And we knew Eamon Worry was going to have a good workout. And they're not like identical players, but they're both versatile players that can play the run, can line up in different spots, can play in some man, can play in zone. And if you're looking for a differentiator, we just got it, right? I mean, you wake up that morning. What was it, Thursday? Thursday or Friday and you're stark.

So you're like, all right, let's go out there and show the world what I got. And he doesn't have, I mean, he's six, one, almost 200 pounds runs a four, five pretty, you know, above average for safety. And then you look at across and you're like, this guy, even worry, you know, he's, he's like four inches taller, 23 pounds heavier. My 4-5 stacked against his 4-3-8.

You know, it's just like, it's not a fair fight. And I think when teams are looking for traits and looking for a player that can do different things and can make you multiple on the defensive side, I mean, he just... I don't know that any player truly helped themselves more than he did. Okay. Let's... I'm always curious.

You always, I kind of lean on you cause I get stuck in the mud and I'm in the thick of it, right? Like, and I'm talking to all these people and I've got all these interviews and the information I'm getting running through my head and I've got preconceived notions. Like as a viewer, What was your biggest takeaway? Were there a couple things that stood out to you?

Yeah, I hear you. I always view it from the lens of combo picks. When you're drafting in the first round, you've got to take into consideration, and NFL GMs I talk to do this as well. If I go this position here, if I have similar grades on this, let's say tight end, versus if you're in love with a wide receiver or an offensive tackle. Offensive tackle is the perfect example.
