00:00 Obviously the season didn't end the way that we wanted it to.
00:04 And I think after the season we sat down and we talked about what we wanted to do to the team and what we wanted to create.
00:10 We wanted to create incredible competition at all positions.
00:14 That was a position that we hadn't addressed a lot early in the draft.
00:19 We felt like that we still had some veteran guys on the roster and that we were going to get back.
00:24 You mentioned a couple guys, Isaiah and Hatsu at Slay and Bradbury.
00:28 We had a couple of young guys, but we wanted to add some youth.
00:31 It wasn't a position that we were really going to try to address in free agency.
00:34 We wanted to draft and develop those guys.
00:37 When you looked at the free agency list and maybe the strength of the early part of the draft, we thought that was something we could do.
00:44 Now you go through the process and things change.
00:46 So when you start with a list that you get in January and then you have the senior bowl and the combine, sometimes the process thins things out.
00:54 That's always a little bit risky, but I think the way that the draft fell allowed us to address those guys early, not force anything, and hopefully add competition to that group.
