00:05It's a big puzzle, you know, free agency comes first.
00:08There's a lot of unknowns in the draft in terms of who's going to be there for you.
00:13I've talked about that before.
00:14You can have philosophical beliefs in how you build a football team, how you prioritize,
00:19but the supply has to match the needs, and those opportunities have to present themselves
00:25at the right time.
00:26So we're starting to put that puzzle piece together, but what I like about really the
00:32pairing so far of free agency and the draft is I do believe that the supply of players
00:38are matching our needs.
00:40I think Brexton did a good job.
00:43Obviously, you never want guys to go through injuries, and we've got to see how he comes
00:48on the other side of this.
00:49I know everything's been progressing on schedule, and he's doing a good job with that, and he's
00:55been very active with rehabbing and getting back on his feet.
00:58So I think, again, that's another spot where it's going to be competition, and you build
01:03the best five or the line with the best five guys.
01:06So we'll see how that goes through this offseason.
01:09Yeah, we're going to take a look at, again, what's available to us.
01:12I really believe it lines up where, with the additions we're going to have over the next
01:19two kind of player acquisition periods of free agency in the draft, we'll be in a position
01:25to have a strong run game, to stay balanced, which in turn helps the quarterback.
01:32Thank you very much.
