00:00We, we live in interesting times where, because there's access to a ton of information, um,
00:07I think everybody thinks they are experts in everything. Um, everybody screamed to build
00:13up the old line and the D line Washington built up the old line and the D line on the
00:17first day of, uh, you know, the tampering period and folks still seem upset about it.
00:22I think the tonsil thing about skill positions, bro. Well, the tonsil thing seems like a,
00:28an absolute slam dunk. The Kinlaw deal, I think it's about more opportunity for, for
00:35Johnny Newton as well as a player. They believe they know how to better optimize in Javon
00:42Kinlaw. Um, these are, if you want to Milton Williams, he was almost double what you paid
00:51Kinlaw. Yeah. Listen, man, people, I've said it before. People talk about how much you
00:56pay somebody all the time. Then they go out and they get a player who can, who has been
01:01good the last two years. Okay. And then people just want you to go break the bank on everybody.
01:08Spending the most money on every player is not the way to go. Okay. You got to find a
01:12guy who you spend a little less on who can go and overplay that. And if you believe in,
01:19uh, in Peters and, and, and Quinn them to get the job done, we would expect him to play
01:24better. If he plays better, no one's going to be complaining about anything. But if you
01:29don't go out and you just get a big splash with Charles skill position players, nobody
01:35cares. It's all they look for. Here's what I want. Adam Peters. I thought this was a
01:40really telling quote from the combine. I believe 48 asked him this question. I tweeted this
01:46video out. Um, Jeff, you're ready to rock there, right? Adam Peters was asked about
01:52potentially what you and I keep saying B is the best players don't get to free agency.
01:57If you're counting on free agency to rebuild a roster, you're overpaying. And it generally
02:02doesn't work that great. The NFL has gotten smart. They give guys extensions, they use
02:06the tag. And so what happens is more and more players get traded for, this is Adam Peters
02:12asked about roster building, including if that means trading away draft picks, you know,
02:18I mean, you're always going to, there's always going to be trade offs if you do something
02:22like that. And, um, we have seven picks, you know, and so that that's, it's a full allotment.
02:28It's not our own seven picks, but, um, I think it just goes back to Sam, just always doing
02:33what we think is best for the team, doing what's best for the team.
