00:00 I mean, it's not ideal, obviously.
00:02 You'd love to have had a guy you can plug in two or three years ago that you knew
00:08 was gonna be there for the next 10 years.
00:10 But that's, again, part of the business, part of the league.
00:14 It's something that you know if you sign an older guy,
00:18 you're hoping to find your own guy to step up and develop as well.
00:21 So I think we're looking at all those options and
00:25 we'll see where this league offseason takes us.
00:29 >> How hard for is it to get a plug and play rookie at a tackle spot starting
00:33 right away, regardless of where you pick him, even if it is early?
00:38 >> Yeah, I think it's hard regardless of his position.
00:40 I mean, it's just in the NFL, it's an adjustment.

00:50 I mean, obviously, you get a guy somewhere in the top ten,
00:54 you're hoping it's gonna be a lot smoother transition.
00:58 But I've heard debates say after the 12th pick of the draft,
01:03 I mean, what's the difference between 13 and 32?
01:06 It's really, it's kind of that demarcation line, if you will,
01:11 of guys who have a more smoother transition regards to position.
01:16 But yeah, no, it's not a walk in the park for sure.
