Thanks so much for having me. I appreciate it. We're happy to have you. And it's great timing because we've spent a good chunk of our show today, John, talking about first we're planning on whether or not the Seahawks should entertain a trade for David Montgomery. That went out the window before we got on air. And now we're talking a bit about Max Crosby, you know, whether he'd be a fit, how much that would end up costing, where he could land. And through so many of these conversations, we keep stumbling back to, oh, God, the Seahawks have four picks. Like, great place to be in, obviously, with the first of those four being 32 overall. But tell me about the strength of this class. Are they going to miss out on some really good top-level talent? You know, I don't think so. I think this is a class we're going to see more parity throughout the different

position groups of the class now.

You know, you can certainly look at linebacker and say like there's a lot of really

good talent there.

You know, maybe you can think it's comparable down below.

That's one where I'd say the top guys in the class, I think, are really, really good. Other than that, I do feel like the other ones, is you've got to go down the other position groups. There's some more parity, and I think it depends what position group you're targeting, certainly. It's always such a broad topic when it comes to the draft, and it also depends what positions there's runs on early in the draft, I think.

So there's a lot of factors that go into it.

But I think this is going to be a class for, like, you know, prospect five and prospect

35 are probably closer in parity than most class.

I know Ty Simpson's not on our radar over here in Seattle, but everything I saw and I read

was that he elevated himself.

What makes Ty Simpson such a great prospect, but only 15 starts under his belt?

I don't know if I would say he is a great prospect.

It's a good question.

I think it's more just the class.

It's where we're at, right, with the game's most important position.

Really so few people prove themselves this season just the class. It's where we're at, right? With the game's most important position, really so few people prove themselves this season and the ones, some of the more interesting ones went back to school. And, you know, so I think that it's just the state of the class that he's going to get elevated. And there are flashes for him. I think he really struggles when the picture changes post-snap to adapt to kind of defenses are defense is throwing at him. Now that's something that could be learned. So you can
