Yeah, it's just a, it's a like a
44 or 5 week dash to try and really dot
your I's and cross your T's as far as all
the intel that you're trying to gather on all these
guys right now. You hear all the time about
general managers and personnel directors say, well, we're
not really trying to tweak our board too much right
now, because honestly, there aren't any games being
played. We should probably have most of the information
that we really need at this point. So really
what you're trying to guard against is man, people
coming into the process and that the 11th and 12th
hour, who then wanna like throw their opinion in
there and next thing you know, all hell breaks
loose and your boards all over the place because you
got people who are listening to me, listening to
chef, they're listening to whoever they're listening to going
, wait a minute, this guy's sliding, this
guy, this guy is rising, this guy,
no, actually, nobody's doing anything right now because
nobody's playing any games. So really, what you're
trying to do is really kind of hone in,
focusing on the people who you want. And then
really trying to, quite honestly, like, get
a feel for the market, meaning what prices do
you have to pay to get the people that you
want. I mean, Jimmy Johnson said it perfectly
, I believe, years ago, which is the
draft is a really an exercise and just kind of
like identifying the people who you want and then getting
yourself in position to get them. And that's really
what it is. Cause that you should know kind
of the people who you want right now unless some
kind of information comes to you that kind of throws
a monkey wrench into everything. You know, some
kind of arrest, some kind of failed test,
some kind of transgression that you just go, hey
, wait a minute, that just caught me off
guard, but you should pretty much know who you 00:01:26.799 --> want.
