The pressure last year with the second overall pick, to be correct, was immense.
00:07
I honestly don't think it was a very hard decision.
00:10
There were those that liked other options.
00:12
I thought it was Jaden all day.
00:14
They took Jaden all day.
00:15
It wasn't very difficult.
00:18
Honestly, over the years for the commanders and the football team
00:22
and the Redskins as their predecessor,
00:24
there has been real pressure to nail the first-round pick
00:27
because you're coming off down seasons or you're picking eighth
00:30
or you're picking 13th, but at 29B, it's so wide open
00:36
that who the hell knows what's going to happen
00:38
because it's going to be dictated by 28 picks in front of you.
00:41
Yeah, it's wide open, but still, the person you pick
00:45
needs to be able to fit in with your squad
00:47
because I think we have picks up top so much
00:51
we don't understand about picking at the back.
00:54
And you know who's picked like that?
00:55
The Chiefs, Philly, the Ravens.
00:59
You know, teams that, but you notice what they do
01:02
when they bring a person in that's a 28, 29 pick.
01:05
They end up hitting and the guy comes out
01:07
and he's very productive.
01:09
I think the pressure may be off
01:11
because you're not looking for that one guy,
01:14
but still the pressure is on to make sure you get somebody
01:17
that comes in and fits, that can hit the ground running
01:20
and have some type of impact immediately.
01:23
Absolutely, and I think that's the goal.
01:27
My personal goal is to find a pen,
01:29
but I think the goal with really, thank you,
01:32
with really good teams is,
01:36
you think about the Ravens, I think,
01:38
are a really good example of this,
01:39
but I'd add the Packers, and like you said,
01:41
the Chiefs, the Eagles,
01:43
these teams that are perennial contenders,
01:46
yes, they have a quarterback that solves a lot of things,
01:51
but...
01:53
they hit on their draft picks.
01:57
Whether a guy's a pro bowler
01:59
or just a good player for them,
02:01
they hit on those draft picks,
02:02
and I think that's what Washington has to do.
02:05
I think it starts tonight.
02:06
I think it starts tonight.
