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.
