00:00Waddy, I'll ask you, if you're Cole Kmet, you're sitting at home, you're seeing this decision,

00:05how should Kmet feel about this position being taken at No. 10 overall?

00:09When you look at Ben Johnson, let's go back, and this is a, I think this is a check the box to Ben Johnson

00:16and what he wants to do on offense.

00:17If we would have taken another wide receiver, just think about this, and we would have said,

00:22wait a minute, I thought we were getting a guy that wanted to run the ball, that used multiple tight ends.

00:28What was that percentage that you had, Judd, from what he did?

00:31Third most 12 personnel last year, the Detroit Lions under Ben Johnson.

00:35Third most 12, which is two tight ends in the game.

00:38So that tells us, Chicago people, that with Ben Johnson, what you saw is what we're going to get,

00:45which is really exciting and really good, and it gives our quarterback, our young kid, the best chance to be successful.

00:52I've got to say, on the overall, this is a shocker.

00:55This is, I mean, not that they're going tight end, there just wasn't a lot of people thinking,

01:01like I said, until maybe the last week or so, that Colston Loveland would be that guy.

01:06This is not a bad pick by any means, and this is one of those times, too, where you have to trust the talent evaluators,

01:12and it does make you wonder now at this very moment, or maybe we're seeing just how much input Ben Johnson did have in this draft.
