 Exciting end to the day, you know, getting the players that we got. I'm excited about adding, you know, some more players to our organization that can help us compete and win some football games. That's really all I have to say, Coach. Cool day, fun day. Again, continue to enjoy the process. Everybody, you know, just working together to try to figure out where we are in this particular point of player acquisition. And I think at every level, you know, there was input from different people, scouting department, coaches, and then ultimately, Rand and I, you know, making decisions that we felt like helped the football team. Either you, Rand or Mike. You got to pick one, Theresa. You can't just say either. All right, well, I'm going to start with Rand then. Rand, the decision to frayed up a spots and go after Will Levis and make him your pick with Ryan under his, in the last year of his deal is why move up and is Levis going to be backing up Ryan or how are you going to play this? So to explain the move up, again, is what we talked about Monday, what we talked about yesterday is trusting our board and he was a player that was highly ranked on our board and we had the opportunity to do so. So why not do it? It was a chance to improve our football team and Ryan will start off as our third quarterback and from there it's on him. The efficiency of the passing game in his career, he's not always been the most accurate guy and he doesn't always seem to have made the best decisions. How does that translate here into the coaching that you need to do and into the efficient play that you're looking for? Well, when you look at completion percentage, 65% two years in the SEC, what we felt like was over 30 drops that probably would have led to closer to 70% completion. Every player that we bring in here is going to have a chance to improve and we'll have to improve. And again, the decision making, toughness, accuracy are obviously things that we feel are critical with quarterbacks and we think that the three that we have here are going to be able to do that. Was Levin's being available at 11 and you guys didn't take him with that trading up to get him? Was that just a value perspective or is that someone that you hear Mark as your quarterback? It's a value thing. Again, he's a player that had we wanted to choose him at 11, we most certainly could have, like we talked about last night, didn't expect for Peter to be there and he was a guy that we highly coveted so we were able to make that move and happy that we were able to move up to get a player like Will. So again, just playing the board, we were just talking on the way here. It's playing the board game. We're rolling the dice and playing the board. So that's pretty much. I mean, had Peter not been there, Will was amongst the conversation. So that's really all I can give on that right now. Like I may ask you, I think Ray and maybe Mr. Spokely said that, like you said that Will, that Ryan would start off as a three. I meant to say Will. Ryan will be the starting quarterback on Monday. Malik will be the backup. Will will be the third quarterback and what I've told them is whatever happens after that will be up to the players. That's what it's always been here. That's what we always want it to be. Good catch, Jim. Competition. Playing self-out. Is there a scenario where you keep three quarterbacks through the season? Of course. I mean, there's a million scenarios, you know, that we'll have to work through, you know, between, I mean, Ran and the staff and myself and everybody. I mean, that's, you know, we just are starting the offseason. We're two weeks into the offseason program. Looking forward to phase two with the players that come on Monday. And then when we're able to get the rookies in here with the rookie minicamp. You talked a lot about player development. How much for Tim and Charles now is Will kind of the project and something for them to have a big rolling? That would never, whether it's Will or Tajé or Peter, you know, I mean, our coaches, again, it's ad nauseam. We've been here together for going on six years. You know, they have to be great teachers. They have to be able to develop the players at their position. And then they have to be able to make a connection with them and hopefully inspire them to do their job better. That's what their job is. And they're going to put in to each player as much as that player will allow us and will coach them as hard as they'll allow us. And we're excited about the three players that we've added as well as the new players that we added in free agency to be able to get to work with them on Monday. You mentioned adding speed frequently. When you look at this, why receiver group and some of the options available to you and what's behind not picking the receiver to this point? What's behind it? I mean, just the same thing that Rand discussed is taking a look at our board and seeing where things are. We know we have needs. We come into each phase of player acquisition with needs. And it's certainly something that we're going to continue to target. And again, what the roster looks like today and what it's going to look like at the first part of September is probably a little different. What can you recently expect from a fifth round receiver given the state of your receiving? I think that there's been players throughout the history of the NFL draft that have contributed somewhat large success at every round. I mean, whatever you say reasonable, I don't know what the number is. That's not how we want to approach this. We want to take a look at the board, see where things are, try to improve our football team. And I am going to speak for myself. I'm confident that we did that tonight. This franchise seems to have diminishing feelings about receivers. You traded A.J. Brown. You drafted Desfrits Patrick. You played somebody like Cody Hollister last year. Are you dedicated to the passing game with productive players like you've talked about? Yeah, of course. We want to be able to throw the ball efficiently, be able to throw the ball down the field, be able to create X plays, and I'm confident that we'll continue to try to work on that and we'll do it. Joe, did you have a question? Oh, you did? You talk about bringing these QBs in for top 30 visits, getting them in front of you, and really diving into the person that the quarterback is. What did you see in Will when he came into this building that gives you guys confidence in moving up to grab him? Extremely smart, extremely bright. Puts a lot of time in to be a good quarterback. So you appreciate his ability to pick up concepts and things quickly. And just who he is, he's hardwired. He's tough. And his most recent offensive coordinator, Rich Gangarello, I had experience with in San Francisco, so kind of knew how he operated within that system. And then when we brought him here, our coaches and our scouting staff, we had good interactions with him, so it just made it easy for us. It's like Mike said, it's a myriad of things that you can contribute to whatever you feel was a lack of. There were the drops and things like that. So we talked about it about other players. You don't want to just put it all on one person. You have to understand the full concept of everything that was going on. So again, Will's here. Our coaches are going to work their asses off to help him improve, and we think that he will improve. I mean, I think, Gentry, I think we can obviously be transparent. Kentucky was a much different football team in 2021 than what they were in 2022. So if we protect him when he's out there at whatever point, if we don't protect him better than what it was, it's probably going to look the same, just like it is for every quarterback. So we try to look at the really good exposures, the great performances. We try to look at them, what they look like at their worst, and then just try to pull the curtain and see what it looks like. But there were some really impressive performances against some big-time defenses in the SEC. Now there are some decisions that have to be better. We can't put the ball in harm's way no matter who our quarterback is. And what did you think about Spears' skill set? You talked about this all since it was injuries and making sure that you've got a healthier football team. Spears has had some neat problems in the past. Are you convinced that his issues are past it? I think he's going to be fine. Played a lot of really productive snaps. I don't know how many didn't miss much time at all. Was a full participant throughout the week at the senior bowl. I think both of us are comfortable with where we're at with Taje and what his availability will be going forward. That may change, but feel good about where it is right now. That's where I was going with you on Taje. What stands out about his skill set when you watch him play and how do you feel like he is a compliment to Derek? He's a three-down runner. He can run between the tackles. He's elusive. He can make guys miss, as well as contribute in the passing game. He catches the ball well out of the backfield. He's a good route runner. Just another guy that can do it all for us. You can put him in the game in any situation and there will be some production there. I just want to say something real quick. Today and as yesterday, these kids are living their dreams. Having their name called, realizing a dream and being drafted. I don't want these interactions between us to always feel like we've got to take a negative turn. This should be a joyous moment for us to praise these kids. This is a moment these kids are going to see this. This is a moment for them and their families to rejoice in because it's only going to happen once. We joked earlier about, Jim and I joked earlier about me not being drafted. That's a moment in my career I can never get back. Coach was drafted in the third round. That's a moment he'll always remember. Let's keep that in mind when we're talking about these kids and where they've come from and where. A lot of these kids have overcome a lot to get to this point. Let's keep that in mind in moments like this. There will be other times to critique what they've done. These kids haven't even stepped on the NFL field yet. Let's keep that in mind. This is a moment for them and their families to have something to be proud of and enjoy this moment. Could you circle to the wide receiver topic? Is the fifth round miracle pick playing the best way to get explosive at wide receiver and to give your quarterbacks dynamic receivers to go with trailing? Rolling the dice, playing the board. That's what we're doing. We're going to take the best available player in the fifth round. We hope that it's a receiver because we're going to continue to address our needs. If we take a receiver in the fifth round, it's a player that we feel can contribute to our team. Like Coach said, it's players that have come into this league that have performed at high levels in all rounds of the draft. We don't look at it as a fifth round guy that's not going to be able to come in here and contribute. Everybody that we bring here will have the opportunity to earn it on the grass. Do you have some receivers that you maybe had eyes on that went about five or six picks before you made that ticket? Is there a specific one? Oh, well, the two contestants. I knew we were going there. Again, it's playing the board. You know, like we talked about yesterday, we're always fielding calls. We're always making calls to try to move around and do things to improve our football team. We got to take it as it comes, but we're always looking to improve our football team at every stance we get. Do you ever let need overtake the board at all? We play our board, you know, and like go back to, you know, yesterday, just so happened at a position of need, our best player was there, and so we were able to do that. So, and we're going to continue to do that. You know, again, if there was a camera full time in there, you would see the constant communication that we have going on between picks and understanding value and where, you know, different people fall on our board within picks. So it's, you know, it's isn't, we don't go in locked in in one spot, you know, and that's how we're going to be. Great, a lot of great exposure with Will, the combine, the pro day, here, you know, I think that with any player, you know, when there's a mistake, you know, one, it's how you allow them to make mistakes. Can they explain it? You know, hey, here's what I was trying to do. It was, you know, fourth down, I'm trying to, you know, feel like I've got to force the ball in there. And if they can't explain it, well then that's what you have to come in as a coach and figure out, you know, why those things happen. And we did that with a lot of different situations with every quarterback is, you know, whether it was situationally third down, red zone, interceptions, times where we felt like that was a bad decision. We did that with, with all the quarterbacks that we were, that we met with. That's our job is to bring in competition at every position. That's not, it's not a secret. I hope that by now that everybody understands that we have to prove our value to this football team each and every day. And I've said that to every player on our football team, to every coach. And that's what, that's what our goal is. And they're going to come in and compete and the players ultimately will determine their role. Probably tonight, still some work to do, look at the board and in the morning, but how you think it stacks up as far as needs to have now and maybe what's, what's left? I think, you know, coach said it as we were leaving the draft room talking to the staff, tomorrow's where the fun begins. You know, tomorrow, you know, and still what coach said, you know, our scouts in the room tomorrow is their day. You know, and our coaching staff and our scouts have put in a ton of work. I feel really confident in the work that they've done and the players that they've identified for us as, you know, future picks or future sign free agents. So I really feel really good about where we are in the process and have the utmost confidence in our coaches and scouts. And you kind of touched on both of you guys, followed your own path to the league, you know, like these guys have. What advice do you give some of these guys that are heading the league for the first time, everything's new, probably overwhelming at first? How do you try to settle, get them to settle in and get comfortable? For me, it's fairly simple. Put your head down and work, you know, and just, you know, eliminate the distractions. It's really that simple in my mind when you come in and you're young. It's all about putting in the work and learn as much as possible and take advantage of the resources. You know, prior to me coming here, coaches brought in a lot of resources for these guys, both on and off the field. They're going to make them better people, better players. You know, players not only here, you have to just take advantage of those resources, you know, and apply your work ethic to it. If the NFL draft is the best night of their NFL career, they're not going to have a very good career. I'll say him developing into that's all on him. You know, I can have all the predictions, all the comparisons, but if he doesn't come in and put in the work, which I believe he will, then all my predictions will be for naught. You know, it's just like I just said, just come in and put your head down and work. I believe he'll do that. So what he becomes in his career is totally up to him. You talked at the combine though about how important those comps were and painting that picture. Who's the picture? You tell me, Paul. I mean, I'm just saying from a standpoint, I'll say it this way, our comps that we give, you know, are usually within our draft room to kind of paint the picture for us. I think Will Leviss is Will Leviss. I think that's the best he's going to be. It's the best Will Leviss. So, you know, extremely happy for him. Had a really cool, you know, conversation with him. You know, as soon as we called, it was, you know, you could hear it. It was, it's really a cool story. He literally had just walked in his home from traveling back from Kansas City. Bags in the four-year. Bags in the four-year still, hadn't even, you know, and I just kind of told him, you know, he was telling me about his travels. I was like, hey, none of that means anything because we'll bring you to Nashville, you know. But, you know, to answer your question, you know, we can, we can say and call him everybody, you know, you want to. But I think in the grand scheme of things, you know, he's going to be the best Will Leviss. Rand, you talked about staying in contact with Ryan and communicating with him all the way through. Do you have to even let him know you're going there or have you communicated with him in any sense and how do you pick and how do you want him to approach his job moving forward? I looked, coach. Reached out to Ryan. Those things happened pretty fast. We would say that was able to reach out to him and then ultimately have a conversation with him and explain to him what I told you and some other things that obviously will remain between Rand and myself and Ryan and expect him to compete, you know. Just like Ryan has done every day since he's been here and what Ryan did was come in from another situation, put his head down, learn our playbook and probably a week pushed the starting quarterback in his own way, proved to the football team that he was ready and then when given the opportunity, took advantage of it. I would expect him to continue to do that and be the consummate pro, compete for his job and I would tell and expect Malik and Will to do the same thing.
