Introducing HB Stats!

About this episode

The offseason creates some opportunity for side projects, and I decided to play around with some analytics and unique views to help with my analysis. Over time, I hope to provide a variety of useful tools for all of you to use.

0:00Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Hawkblogger Mornings. I am Brian. I'm Howsery.

Today is a Friday. It is a Friday in the off season, kind of the dog days of the off season. And today's episode is brought to you by PricePix as we're going to hop into maybe a little bit of some geekiness. Hopefully you guys have a little geek in you or you wouldn't already be following this show. I mean, as you know, I kind of come from a tech background and spend a lot of time in that. And that has contributed to in a lot of different ways the way I look at

1:03sports and the way I ask questions about things. And and I've been doing some fun fun by my measure work the past couple off seasons on some side projects. Last year I put a fair amount of time into HB ticks, which people should know by now HB ticks is the place where you can go for free to sell your sea hawks tickets to sea hawks fans or buy sea hawks tickets from sea hawks fans. And it got pretty popular last year, especially in the playoffs. That was one of my side projects. It seems like that has done some good in the world. And I glad people like it. So I decided like sometime in the middle of last season to start doing some pretty deep analytics work on the side. And I'm I am not an analytics expert by any stretch. I I'm not even good at math necessarily. So there'll be some things I do that are mistakes, but generally speaking

2:06I'm pretty comfortable with numbers. And one of the things that I get frustrated with sometimes is I have to go to a bunch of different places to get what I'm looking for. So I started kind of aggregating, you know, data from different places. And a bunch of things have come out of that. I'm getting to the point. I promise. I promise. So one of the things that I I just really finished or got to the point where I can share a few minutes ago was a project where now that I've got a bunch of the data I'm interested in, I want to start to ask common questions that I have or maybe some uncommon ones. And one of the things I always like to do is I like to see how a team or a player has performed recently versus earlier in the season or what are the trends that we're seeing? Are they you know, is the team improving in the run game and past blocking? Are they degrading

3:07in in, you know, run defense or whatever it might be? And I do that for my game previews to kind of check where things are going, but it's very manual process. So what I've done is I've created what I'm calling for now, HB stats. And I will eventually probably share this more broadly, but there might be some things that that are not meant for public consumption based on where the data is coming from. But we'll we'll cross that bridge later. But this morning I wanted to share with you, like basically take it through its paces. Hopefully it doesn't crash and burn when we do this together. But I'll give you some examples of how this, you know, come has come to be and where it can be useful. So let's let's start just I will share my screen and you guys can see this is a view of the HB stats page. And again,

4:10right now all that's up there is I've got a way to look at team trends or player trends. And for example, if we were to look at the Seahawks in 2025, they're super bowl year, and I think this will go all the way back to 2010. But in certain numbers won't all be available back then. But essentially let's look at 2025. And we know that the last eight games of the regular season, basically after the Rams game, there was quite a difference with the Seahawks that in lose after that Rams game in week 11. So if we say we want to compare the last eight games of the Seahawks season with the first, well, actually, would that be eight games or would that be weeks? So I'm getting confused myself. So we want to be games. So if I go and make sure I'm getting the right cut of data, the Seahawks had their yes, it would be their final seven games.

5:18So their final seven games versus their first 10 games. All right. And I click execute. What you're going to see here is immediately it will draw this nice little graph and it picks a couple different data points. But below here, we get a bunch of different aspects of how the team was doing in the first 10 games this season versus the last seven. And so for example, this is the PFF pass grade. And it went down significantly over the last part of the season, which should make sense for folks that saw the Seahawks pass game really fall off. We can look at other pass metrics like offensive pass EPA. EPA went from plus point two to zero, which was a drop as well. You can look at offensive DVOA that also dropped over that period of time, right? So these are all

6:18things that track to what we already know about that part of the Seahawks season. But there's other aspects that we can kind of look at, like interesting. Let's see Hawks coverage grade actually got better. While the overall offensive grade went down by six in PFF, the defensive grade went up by almost the same amount. I find that interesting. I wouldn't have known that if I didn't have this. Also, I can look at the defensive EPA per play, right? So the offensive EPA per play dropped from point one to zero. The defense EPA per play improved from negative point one to negative point three. Now, these are all just random numbers for a lot of folks. But these are valuable ways to kind of see where things have changed for the teams. And you can come up here and see it week by week. So let's say we want to see how the offensive pass EPA changed over the

7:24course of the year versus the offensive rush EPA. And one of the things that we kind of started to see was that the rush EPA, right, beginning of the year was pretty bad, right? All pretty much and in the negative, you see over here, zero here, so all that was negative. And then over the last part of the season, it was relatively positive, right? We can look into the playoffs if we wanted to as well. We can also look into different aspects of the defense. So we could say how did coverage change versus pass rush, right? And so this is PFF looking at where the Seahawks coverage grades were over the course of the season versus where their pass rush grades were. And you can kind of see here that the Seahawks generally were rushing the passor better earlier in the year. And the

8:26coverage was not quite as good earlier in the year. And other than week 16 against the Rams, where the coverage grade was very bad. And the Rams put up a lot of good numbers. The coverage grade really stepped up over the last part of the season. And we can do this in a lot of different ways. So this is comparing the last seven games. We could actually do this looking at let's just say the last three games where it was, you know, basically where the run game really took off. If I do that, now this is still looking at the full weeks. But these numbers below are comparing the first, what would it be? 15 games of this 14 games of the regular season versus the last three. And again, you can see the passing grade still not going the right direction. But the rushing EPA, pretty big improvement there from negative point one to point two.

9:29And then also if you look at where is PFF rush, remissing PFF rush, that's a bug. We'll figure that out. We'll add that later later. But PFF rush should be there. So you can see rush EPA improved, you can see defensive EPA improved, you can see the overall defense improved over that period of time. And the other thing you can go do is it doesn't have to just be the Seahawks. So we looked at what was the Seahawks last seven games. But let's look at the Rams. Let's look at the Rams. And I find whoops. L A. Let's see. I got the wrong team abbreviation. Can we do San Francisco?

10:30Well, they're San Francisco. Let's do L A and see if that works. Is it Rams? Sorry guys, I'll figure out what the abbreviation is for the Rams. But we can look at San Francisco and we can look at kind of their trend over the course of the season. As I said, just finishing up this morning. So you can also see where things changed for the 49ers over that period of time and how they kind of were improving. But if you look at week 18, they're having this amazing offensive rise. And then you can see the precipitous fall against your Seattle Seahawks. So there's a bunch of stuff we can kind of look at here that I find valuable and interesting. So I'm going back to see what people are, if there's questions and stuff.

11:33But I find that these kinds of ways to look at numbers and trends, bring up questions. They don't answer questions. It's like, well, what happened? Like if I saw this and I didn't know, I'd be like, what happened in week 18 to get for the 49ers? Like what went on there? Similarly, we can look at like the 49ers, let's look at their coverage and their pass rush, right? Their pass rush was just atrocious for almost the entire season. Now they had Nick Bose, so week one, it still wasn't that great. It got decent in one week. But for the most part, their pass rush was not good. Their coverage grades. Okay. But but not necessarily excellent. We can also look at player trends. So let's look at Mr. Sam Darnold. Okay. Let's see what we've got here for Mr. Darnold. And this is also looking at trends. So if we look over the last seven games

12:37again, post rams versus the way his season started, this gives us a different view. So this is a Sam Darnold trend analysis. And you can see, well, you're going to have things for offensive players that might not make sense. Rush success rate, who cares? His past success rate dropped significantly over that period of time. His passing grade dropped significantly. His big time throw rate dropped significantly. Interestingly though, if you look at his turnover worthy play rates, it increased even though his turnovers for the most part dropped. So let's look at that actually, because I think this is a really interesting one to see, which is big time throw rate versus turnover worthy play rate. And in general, like you had this, even though his turnover worthy play rate

13:41was higher over his last seven games, which starts here at week 12, you could kind of say, all right, so let's look from week 14 on, right? That would be his last five games. So let's re let's re rack this. And let's look at how his last five games, I could actually include the playoffs, which I'll do in a second. I don't know if that's going to work properly, but we'll try it. And we will look at, again, turnover worthy play rate versus big time throw rate. And if you look down here, this is what's giving you the actual difference. So the big time throw rate dropped a lot, but his turnover worthy play rate improved a lot. And we know that that ended up being a very big difference for how the Seahawks got where they got across the season. And so I like a lot of these things for me are just helpful to kind of see where where they go. So like, let's take a look

14:45at let's take a look at Gray's Able. Just a random offensive player. And we can look at the trends for different data for offensive lineman granted, I have not pulled this up yet. So hopefully the offensive line data is going, but here's his past block grades versus his run block grades, right? So you can kind of see Gray's Able season in a nutshell, at least from a PFF grading perspective. And that if you look at his kind of trend, he had a pretty big increase. In the last five games of the season, his past block grade improved from 59 to 63. His run block grade improved a lot from 52 to 70.3 over that period of time. You can also check to see how many pressures were left. Let's take a look at our good friend Anthony Bradford, who is always a lightning rod among Seahawks fans.

15:52How did he do across this period of time? And I'm curious, honestly, I have not looked at this yet. So I mean, that's pretty fascinating. The past block grade for Anthony Bradford went from 46 in his first 12 games to 60.8 over his last five. That's a 14.6 improvement over where he was. His run block grade was relatively stable. Anyway, so these are all different things that we can kind of look at given this. And now I'm going to figure out what is the Rams abbreviation.

16:53So I find it kind of fascinating to see where part of the question and the question that I'm on is I think that the Seahawks team that ended the season was pretty different than the Seahawks team that started the season. And it also gives me some, I also have some questions about where are the aspects of this team that were most conducive to success and which were the ones that maybe were less important than we think. Turnovers for me are a pretty big difference in this team. Like I think that's a massive difference in how this team played over the course of the season. I'm going to have to make a difference. I'm going to have to make a fix to get LA to work unfortunately. So we might not be able to do it in this show. That's a bummer.

17:54Well, maybe, let's see, I'm not going to do code correction on while I'm on this show. I might, I might. Let's see if I can get this to work. Give me one second. So what I was saying is that I believe that when you dig into the Seahawks, there's a lot of talk that comes around the the degradation or regression of the past game, right? People really rag on Sam Darnold over that period of time that he got the jitters after the Rams game, all that kind of stuff, right? And first of all, I don't believe that's actually accurate. Second of all, second of all, let's see if that worked.

18:59Okay, we're going to see if that worked. I'm going to refresh myself. And we're going to type in LA that work. That did work. Okay. I think that one of the biggest changes in the way the Seahawks team played over the last part of the year was they protected the ball better. They ran the ball better and the defense actually played better, which was a really quiet aspect of what changed for this team over the last part of the season. Of those things, I think only the run game is the one that I have questions about whether you're in a better position to execute in 2026 than you were in 2025. The defense should be, from my perspective, every bit is good if not better than it was last year. And then you're going to have Sam Donald and the offense who has been, they've learned through

20:03experience last year how to limit turnovers and how that leads to wins. Mike McDonald still has never lost a game where his team has committed no turnovers. He's never lost a game where they've won the turnover battle. It's pretty important. It's pretty important. So let's see if my little fix actually fixed things. All right. So yes, I am fixing code while on screen and it seems to have worked. So let's compare the last seven games for the Rams to the first 10. And this is also cutting out. I want to make sure this is actually their game number might be different when it was their buy. I think that's right. So this would be their last three. Yes, their last seven. Okay, this is all correct. So this is looking at the Rams between basically including the game against the Seahawks

21:10and then every game after. And the Rams for what people may not recall, the Rams won that game against the Seahawks, but then they lost three games the rest of the way, three out of their last seven games. They were only four and three the rest of the way. What changed? What changed for the Rams? Interestingly, their coverage got significantly better over that period of time. Plus 15 coverage grade. They're overall PFF grade improved. Now, I think this might be wrong. Oh, this is wrong. This is wrong. This is LA chargers. Let's do LA Rams this way. That makes so much more sense. Okay. Is that correct? So I'm having questions looking at this. This doesn't look necessarily right to me. So

22:19me fixing the bug on screen may not have worked properly. Okay. If I put LA chargers, let's just do a quick check here. Do I get different results? I do. I do. Okay. That makes me feel better. Okay. So the coverage grade did improve. The overall grade improved. The defensive grade improved. So what didn't? What went wrong with the Rams over this period of time? Rush EPA went down. Pass EPA went down. Defensive EPA went down. It's kind of fascinating, honestly. If you look at the Rams, just defensive EPA versus offensive EPA per play, this is not good. Having your defensive EPA go up this high. So I don't understand

23:28personally. Like if we go, let's go with the last five weeks, maybe get a little bit better of a look there. Let's look offensive EPA versus defensive EPA. All right. So interesting. Pass rush degraded a little bit. The defensive EPA, defensive PASS EPA really went down. And the overall defensive EPA went down. That was mostly a product of the passing, which is interesting because the PFF coverage grade went up. You guys might listen to this like, what are you talking about? This is the way my brain works when I'm kind of investigating things and looking at things. And the hope is to provide you guys with some of these tools to be able to ask these same questions. So that actually makes me curious about Jared verse and what happened with him over the course of the season. And looking at a defensive

24:31player, we should be able to get rush defense and pass defense, sorry, and pass rush. Those kinds of things, this says it's coverage grade. Let's put his pass rush grade up there. Okay. Okay. So if we compare, this is Jared verse over his last five games of the season versus his first 12 tackling grade went way down. Miss tackle rate went way up. His pass rush grade actually improved. His pass rush win rate dropped. So you can kind of see that's another thing you can see here is pass rush win rate versus total pressures. And so you can look at where these guys were actually having success rushing the passer and where they weren't. If I look at, let's look at boy, I'm off a right. And what happened with him over the course of the season because he's

25:37no longer the sea hawks. I know, Mr. Mike Salk is very concerned about that. I listen to him yesterday. But if you look at boy, a pass rush win rate is kind of a good number for him. That's his most positive. And if you look at total pressures, whoops, not defensive touchdowns, total pressures, like boy, I'm off. I just was not a huge factor over the last part of the season, right? Like his, this is looking again, his last five games versus his first 12. Run defense improved. His pass rush win rate improved slightly from 10.5 to 13.5. His pressure is actually decreased. So I mean, this is just a different way to look at where

26:40these guys are. If we look at Derek Hall, which I'm curious about, to get a kind of apples to look, I feel like Derek Hall was someone who had a more consistent, well, let's look at a pass rush win rates and total pressures. So he dropped pretty significantly as well over the last five games. It's interesting. If we include the playoffs, let's do that. See if including the playoffs works. Testing all of these things live is always the smartest thing to do when you're building stuff. So pass rush win rates and total pressures, right? So this is the conference championship and the Super Bowl. It doesn't have the divisional game against the 49ers for some reason, but whatever. But you can see that Derek Hall and the Super Bowl,

27:45two sacks, and he had an 18.8% pass rush win rate. So as you can tell, this is something I get kind of interested in. I'm checking to see if anybody else is finding any of those interesting. Well, you know, it is what it is. But I wanted to share. I'm working on that. I'm going to work on some other things as well that hopefully you guys will benefit from and will allow us to kind of look into these things together and look into different areas. So if you have ideas, things that you think would be a useful view, let me know. I'm probably going to do some regression analysis on stuff that other people have already done, but I'm going to do it for my own sake about what are the things that correlate most with wins or with points or with positive EPA plays and all that kind of stuff that helps me deepen my understanding

28:46about for all the words that we say, the numbers generally like you can make them lie, but they generally are going to tell you something that words won't. And so I'm going to keep digging into this and having some fun over the course of the season. But other things going on here that at least I thought were worth mentioning. So Gabiakis, I was calling him Yakis, but it's akis. Gabiakis, the edge rusher, who I was talking about yesterday, someone asked about him. And honestly, I had not watched enough of him to have a strong enough opinion. And I should just say that more often, honestly, I looked at a little bit of him, but I had not remembered well enough. So I went back and I watched him a little bit more because his height and weight does fit for the Seahawks. He was, he played it around 270, but at his pro day yesterday, he was

29:53261. More interestingly, he, I mean, he ran a 46940, not fast, but he had a 1.59 10 yard split. Why does that matter? 10 yard splits a lot more important for a defensive lineman than for like a receiver or running back. Well, it's important for all of those, but a 40 yard dash is not that interesting for a defensive lineman. It's very interesting. I think generally speaking for a skill position like, you know, corner or receiver or running back, right? But 10 yard split is really important because that's about how quickly you get off the line of scrimmage, how much like speed to power you can translate in a short amount of time. And so 1.59, 10 yard split is the same that Derek Hall had when he came out. And Derek Hall did that at a lighter weight, 254 pounds when he was measured 261 for Akis yesterday. Akis is a guy that

31:01I believe ESPN mocked to the Seahawks maybe yesterday. Daniel Jeremiah had, I don't know, actually they had mocked Armace and Thomas. And I think Daniel Jeremiah talked about Akis being another name of interest. Now, I still think that's a guy that could be, I don't know that I'm comfortable with him at the 32nd pick. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not comfortable with him at the 32nd pick. But if you were to get him at 64 or you were to trade down from 32, he becomes a more interesting option. And I would put him, I haven't trouble a little bit with the knee den as sudden. I find him to be a much more, he's a much more interesting athlete. I don't know that his production or his refinement is quite as good as Akis. I also still see Zion Young as a guy that fits a lot of what the Seahawks do. But just wanted to share, I thought that was news of note. Otherwise, I just double checking to see if there are any other new things that came out that I missed.

32:10So, we got a tweet from Mr. Jimmy Doherty, who has become a coach for the Seahawks. Yesterday, he said, so grateful for this opportunity in my family. And I love this city. And I'm so excited to be part of this amazing organization and team. So cool to see him. He is Coach Jimmy D on Twitter, if you're looking for him there. We heard yesterday a little bit from John Schneider on the Bob and the the Wyman and what is it? Wyman and Bob or something like that. Show on Seattle Sports, talking about with Patrick Ward, who is their analytics guy and Patrick's a great guy, smart guy. And it was a fun show to listen to. So I highly recommend it. But they were talking about how alignment between the numbers and the scouting. Generally, they're pretty

33:11right when that happens. Good things happen when there's alignment there, which is cool to hear and see. And then he also, John Schneider talked to Fairmount about hard knocks. And it's kind of discomfort with having a hard knocks in there. But that they want to share as much as little as possible while giving, you know, entertainment as much as it's needed. So, you know, you kind of could see John Schneider was not the most comfortable with the idea of hard knocks being in there. But you're also not going to avoid hard knocks forever. So those are a couple of the other things that had come up. I want to do a, I see someone asking about updated 30 visit list. I'm going to do a different show on that. I do want to do a mock draft before we close shop today. I also though, I wanted to share this with you guys because it is finally time after a day off for the Mariners

34:27to get back to hopefully the winning ways. So looking at prize picks, I want you guys to help me here. I'm going to start hopefully being able to place some wagers, some picks here soon. And as I said, anything that I win, I'm going to donate to charity. But as I said before, prize picks actually does work in the state of Washington for team picks and for culture picks. So you can go in here. And the Mariners are 59% probability to beat the angels tonight. I will probably be choosing picking against the Mariners on a regular basis until things start going better. I mean, first inning runs, I certainly would not pick the Mariners to score a first inning run

35:28personally, given the way the offense has been going. There's also this, you can look at futures. And so they've got who's going to win the World Series? The Mariners are third. They were second before they dropped three or four to the Yankees. The Yankees are now above them as they probably should be given that. But you could get some long, long probabilities there. You can also look at awards if you want to make some guesses about who is going to win the AL MVP. Julio Rodriguez is third. How Raleigh is fifth? I'm sorry, he's six. Is that right? Yeah, he's six. That's kind of fascinating. But Julio Rodriguez is that high. I wonder why. Clearly, they have not seen April Julio Rodriguez. But as I've shown you guys before, you can also do the culture picks. And there's some fun stuff there. If we look at, let's look at movies. Let's go on with movies right

36:34now. So how many views will the number one movie on Netflix have this week? At least six million, at least nine million? Wow. I have no idea. I don't even know how to guess at that. There's just some Oscars stuff. There's all sorts of things you can play around with in here that are fun and just silly and a good way to just have a little fun. So take a look if you haven't already and use promo code HMA. If right now, if you use, there's new offers, you play five dollars. You get $50 in lineups. So download the app using the link in the description. And again, code HMA. All right. So let's do a, let's do a mock draft as we, as we are always wanting to do this time of year. And we're going to stick with the PFF mock draft. I do have some good news.

37:40If you haven't already heard, I will, we had Jared IV on earlier. I'm going to have Jamie Sheriff on next week. I'm going to have Riley Mills on I think the week after that. I'm going to keep talking to some other people. I'm going to talk to Dalton Wasserman, formerly of PFF, hopefully next week. We've got a lot of, a lot of folks coming through in the future. So looking forward to that. All right. So let's get this up here to look at. Let's do a mock draft. And today we're going to trade back. Or at least we're going to try to. So we're at pick 32. Yesterday we were talking about the things you should and shouldn't do. This is interesting. Moving all the way back to 54. Haven't moved back that far. I don't love it. But I want to try it. So if we go from 54, 54 and 68s and 114. Let's play with that. Let's play with that. Let's see how that goes.

38:48We're going to force that to be accepted. All right. This is a big move back. 32 to 54 is basically really moving back. So you're getting what's essentially like a second and a third and a fourth. So we're all the way back here and look who is available at 54. So now we have 54, 64, 68, 96. We've gone from four picks to six picks just like that. So you've got Accus available here. You got Malachi Lawrence available here. You have Jennings Dunker available. I think Chris Brazil is really interesting. But I don't think I could make the case to take him first. You've got the need and a Sutton. You've got some interesting names here. Keel and Rutledge. You could go a few different ways. In this situation, like I'm tempted to take Dunker. I haven't actually had a chance to take him yet and see what edges are left. But I actually like the Accus

39:54pick at this point either like Lawrence is a little bit more athletic, but he's not as physical and not as good of a run defender. So let's go ahead. I think it's a sign we should take Accus. And then we get to pick 64. We still could have gotten didn't you down a Sutton. We've got Traden Stukes, who essentially is a safety, Davidson and Igg Benosin. Could go running back, but I've told you guys that I want to do that this early. Could go Devon Moore here, who is a guy I really like. Let's do this. This is I'm tempted to take the need and a Sutton as well. Let's see what happens. Let's see what happens if you double up on edges. That would be interesting. So now we're at pick 68. And this is the third round, right? We have not taken an offensive line, and we have not taken a running back yet.

40:54So Keelan Rutledge is still there. That's probably the pick, but I'm just going to take a quick look. Devon Moore is there. That is also possibility of this picked Ted Hurst is there, Jonah Coleman's there. I think we're going to roll the dice on running back. We are going to look, I like Keelan Rutledge. I don't love Keelan Rutledge. Personally, Devon Moore is a guy I just really like for the Seahawks and I picked him a lot. So I think I'm going to go Devon Moore. A lot of defense have not attacked the offense yet. Now we have picked 96 114 and 188. So Jonah Coleman's sitting there. I don't think I'm going to take any more chances at the running back spot. Emmett Johnson is there. I would take him over Jonah Coleman personally. You've also got Devon Claiborne who I do

41:55like. I've talked about him before. He'd probably be available later. I would go with Emmett Johnson. Now it is worth noting that the Seahawks hired a Husky's coach who's very familiar with Jonah Coleman. So it is possible that they would come back and really like him in a way that maybe they got more information than they would have known before. So as I look at Jonah Coleman and Emmett Johnson elusive rating 88.3 for Emmett Johnson. It is 85.7 for Jonah Coleman. That's actually not bad. The zone grade is 84.6 for Jonah Coleman. Zone grade 76.6. All right. You know what? You convinced me. Let's take Jonah Coleman in the third round and then we are at in the fourth round. We now have a fourth round pick. We could take Billy Shrouth. We have not taken an offensive

43:01linemen yet. So that is pretty tempting to be honest. Jalen Kilgore. That is really, really tempting. I like Bo Stevens quite a bit. I will say this. When I watch Giderium Price, there was a lot of games where he was not getting touched. And so the blocking up front was pretty good. So Billy Shrouth is a guy that's pretty tempting. But I'm going to go with a guy that I'm a little bit more, I think is a bit like the number one zone grade guard in college football last year, Bo Stevens. I loved the Iowa line. So we're going to go that direction for the interior offensive line. And then we're at the tail end of the draft. And now I can do some of the things I really like, which are maybe getting Kendrick Law, who I love at receiver. There's Jaden Kennedy who the

44:06Seahawks have met with Andre Fuller who the Seahawks have met with. If we look at running back, we do not have the Mont Claiborne because that would be worth a thought as well to be honest if he was there. But I'm going to get Kendrick Law because I find him to be a fascinating edition here. And let's see. So this is a very different draft trading back that far picking up those picks. So you basically get up with two seconds, two thirds, a fourth, and a sixth. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. You get two edges. I kind of like doubling up as much as I've said, I don't want necessarily go edge early. And I don't, I like the value right around end of second round. If you can get Accus and Dennis Sutton in those picks, I don't think that's a bad way to go. I really don't.

45:06And it gives you a little leverage depending on what happens with the Shenandoah Osu and the Marcus Lawrence next year. Maybe you've got your three guys with Derek Hall and these two, depending on how that plays out. Devon Moore, I've told you about I just, he's a really good off-ball zone corner who's also a good run defender, physical player. I like him for the Seahawks. Jonah Coleman. If that was Jonah Coleman, Emmett Johnson, either one of those guys, I really like Bo Stevens. I think is a good fit for the Seahawks. And then Kendrick Law is just a bonus. You know, I really, really like that player. So curious, see what people are. So it says two edges would be absurd. I don't know. I don't know if two edges would be absurd. And I don't hate that draft, to be honest. So that was a good little, this is why we're going to do

46:10these every day to play around. Tomorrow we'll have some fun with Jeff Simmons on Seahawks Saturday. We'll go through a bunch more there.
