Guagie as a dedicated scouting trait, a term.

0:53.5

You guys heard of Guaggy, go up and get it, guys.

2:04.5

I mean, you're the greatest partner we've ever had, and that's why we sent you. I agree. That's why we sent you a hat. It's why we'll get you whatever merchandise you want in any sort of favors you want in Chicago. Is it catching on at all? Is there anyone outside of you and me that understands Guaghi and sees the wisdom that we have found in it. I think we just got to force it. We just got to force feed it to people. You know, we keep using it enough. And there's some guys this year, Malachi Fields from Notre Dame. He's a go up and get a guy. Edge didn't catch on in a day. It wasn't, you know, people were calling defensive ends edge players. That's true. That's true. In a day. Yeah. We just got to, you know, keep driving at home. And I'll do my part to make sure that happens. God love you. If there's anybody else, anybody at PFF, I mean, I don't know. Because that ought to be something that an analytics site, I mean, maybe Quasi would have been into it if it had a number attached to it. I feel like we can get Matt doing it. we can ask Kaylin Kaler to start using it, I think. Like really just talk to our NFL peeps. Yeah. Carmen have her start saying it. That's good. I think that we can get a movement going if we do it that way. It's grassroots, guys. It's grassroots. You know, we're not, we're not buying likes over here. We're building this thing.

2:20.4

Matt, thanks so much for joining us.

2:23.2

How did you feel about the Bears' draft?

2:27.1

I liked it.

2:28.2

I did like it.

2:28.9

I think, and I posted in an article, and I got a little ahead of myself, maybe.

2:33.7

But I said, when the Bears won a Super Bowl in the next three years, this is going to be the draft that we look back and say, that's how they did it. It's Caleb Williams. It's Colson Loveland, it's Luther Burden. But this is the draft that was the final piece to the puzzle. I'm that much of a believer in Dylan the end. and I'm that much of a believer in Logan Jones, that much of a believer in just how they are continuing to build this team. Everyone's going to talk about detackle, de tackle, one doesn't go till late, but Jordan Vanderberg, I thought it was a steel in the seventh round. So this was a good draft for polls. It's hard to be, you know, it's hard to be as excited when you're picking 25 instead of 10. The household names in this draft were pretty much gone at that point. But, man, De Annaman is such a baller that I think Bears fans got to be happy. I'd start ordering the jersey. As soon as it's out there, I'd be ordering one. Oh, look at that. The Dylan, Theanman love is flowing from Matt Miller. I want to ask you about Logan Jones, though, Matt, because we haven't really talked about him in detail yet today.

3:30.8

And clearly, they loved him so much more than Jake Slaughter or Sam Hect, who doesn't even go to round five, which is crazy.

3:40.8

Like what separates Logan Jones and does Ben Johnson? or Sam Hect, who doesn't even go to round five, which is crazy.

3:47.8

Like, what separates Logan Jones, and does Ben Johnson specifically being smitten, his word with Logan Jones make sense to you?

3:51.2

It should.

3:51.9

Look what the guy did last year.
