Welcome in to another edition of the Under Center podcast here on NBC Sports Chicago.

I'm JJ Sankovic, joined by John Moon Mullen.

Moon, the draft is in the books, and everyone seems to love what Ryan Pace did.

How much does that matter?

Not at all. All right. Well, it all matters it turns out well. Yeah, I mean, it's not a, I mean, I guess if the fans were so up in arms,

they stopped coming, then the McCaskies might say, well, that's just killed our business. But I don't

think that that that hasn't happened.

So I think people are excited that they got a top 10 player, or at the top, or the number

eight pick, they got somebody that by acclimations seem to be worthy of that.

So I think there's a certain energy when a linebacker is taken in Chicago,

a linebacker being obviously a favorite position.

So I think Pace can never go wrong for having defense in Chicago.

But no, it doesn't.

Yeah, it all matters.

We'll find out starting in July down in Bourbonnet, and then, like people say,

how do you think of

the draft? I said, it has to me in December. Let's really see that. You wrote something on NBC Sports

Chicago this week that kind of touched on the idea of Pace saying, you know, you need three years

to grade a draft, right? But from the get-go, you know Eddie Goldman's a good player.

You knew that Tariq Cohen's a good player.

You don't need three years on some of these guys.

On the other hand, some guys, you don't need three years to know that they're not good players.
