Takes
Will Levis cannot be considered a bust because he was not selected in the top 10 of the NFL Draft.
I actually think it's in a weird way, you can't be a bust if you go, if you don't go in the top 10. So now people won't judge [Will Levis] the same. Now he has time to flourish to be a multi-Super Bowl winner.
NFL Draft grades and predictions are meaningless; the only thing that matters is getting a player with fun highlights.
I'm a big believer of draft day means nothing. And it's fun to get excited and watch highlights—draft day's about watching highlights. That's the only thing that matters is getting a guy who has fun highlights that you can go to bed tonight watching them and get you excited for the future. But it means nothing.
Drafting Jalen Carter was a genius move for the Eagles, but he would not have worked for the Bears because they lack veteran defensive leadership.
I actually think that it was genius for the Eagles to take [Jalen Carter]. And the Bears did not take him because everything we've heard about him, he needs veteran leadership around him. The Bears do not have that. The Eagles have the opposite. They have a lot of great defensive players, a lot of older Fletcher Cox, like a lot of guys that will help him.
DeForest Buckner is a top draft prospect because his first name is a verb
If your first name is a verb, I think that's pretty solid. [DeForest Buckner] jumps up to the top of my big board.
