Gladstone said. I don’t think there’s a single position that we would label as being without talent. All of them can produce somebody for us that would contribute in a notable way fairly early in their rookie contract.
We prioritized addressing offensive line through pro free agency. I think we’ll continue to do that throughout the draft. I don’t think we’re limited at the fronts. That stuff should show up at all levels of our offensive and defensive operation, and clearly on special teams. That’s always going to remain at the forefront. Those two elements in tandem is really a real combination we covet. So much of the work that is done in preparation for these decisions starts years in advance,
The sourced intel from those who have lived with these individuals is likely to be more accurate than me sitting down with a prospect for a short period of time and attempting to dissect who that human being is.
I don’t view myself as having this extreme superpower of deciphering the complexity of a person in an hour. There are other mechanisms that tend to lean into to help us determine whether or not a player is, in fact, a fit for us, more than just a singular touchpoint that would be a Top 30 visit. We have a lot of additional mechanisms we deploy that don’t necessarily put us at risk for the rest of the world to know what direction we’re heading. So often those become public-facing touch points at which point you’re sacrificing some version of strategy come draft day as well.
HOOPS TRENDING…
