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.

While I love Tyler Warren or I love Colston Loveland, this tackle group is going to dry out fast. So if I go with the offensive tackle, a Kelvin Banks or a Josh Simmons in the first round, I know I'm not going to get – I don't feel great about getting a starter, a guy I can plug and play in the second round. Second round for the tight ends, I got Mason Taylor from LSU. I've got Arroyo from Miami.

I've got Fannin Jr. from Bowling Green in probably the late second, third round. So there are other guys, and I think absolutely that's part of the process for general managers. The thing that was frustrating this year is we've got these deep classes that with all this talent, it was like the first couple of days of the combine were a bust for me.

And I was, I was worried, like, is this the new trend or is anyone going to work out? We didn't like the interior defensive line, 18 out of 40, Ryan, 18 of 40 ran. I mean, that's, and this is one of the deepest classes ever at interior defensive line, the edge, the top edge guys didn't work out. A lot of them. Not all of them, but several of those guys. The tight ends.

I just listed all those names, right? Warren doesn't work out. Loveland has the shoulder, so obviously excused. Mason Taylor didn't work out. Arroyo didn't work out. So, like, now we're down to, like, the third tier of tight ends working out with Fannin and Ferguson from Oregon. Terrence Ferguson. So... It was frustrating.

To be honest, the first couple days was really frustrating watching how few of the top-tier guys worked out. But then we got to Saturday, and it was awesome. I mean, the running backs were... You got to remember, this is the best group clearly since 2017 and may wind up going down as one of the top, if not the top running back classes to ever come out in the draft, talent-wise.

And then they all showed up. Outside of Ashton Jinty, the vast majority of everyone did at least something and most of everything. When you got guys like Travion Henderson putting up big numbers, Quinshawn Judkins putting up better all-around workout numbers than even Henderson, who's the explosive athlete. You've got...

You've got Omari and Hampton, who, by the way, I talked to people in the league who were like, it's a debate in our room between Ashton Jinty and Hampton. So Hampton taking advantage of the fact that Jinty's not working out. I mean, all of these guys, it felt like worked out. And the vast majority were like, you're like blowing your mind with some of the numbers.
