I am Zach Hicks of HorseshoeHuddle.com. You guys know me as your resident film nerd, the architect of the Build a Ballard series, and your go-to draft guy here on the podcast. Jake is unable to join us, but if you guys missed him yesterday, he answered a lot of your guys' burning questions on yesterday's episode. And today I'm continuing what Jake laid down. So we're going to continue going through some of your guys' questions, some of

Starting point is 00:01:18 the ones that Jake wasn't able to get to. We're going to talk about who I would take at 15th overall among a current set of players that you guys are very focused on right now. And I think a lot of Colts fans are focused on right now. Then we're going to talk about the potential for Chris Ballard to surprise us a little bit on draft day. Does he go away from wide receiver or corner or defensive end or whatever it's going to be on draft day and really shock the whole world?

Starting point is 00:01:43 And then finally, we're going to conclude today's episode by talking about the archetype needed at wide receiver. Is it going to be a field stretcher? Is it going to be just an all-around guy who can do it all? Is it going to be a yards after catch guy? We're going to get to that burning question as well. But to kick us off, we've got AtDangerB12, who really wanted to get right to it. He said, rank these players on who you would draft

Starting point is 00:02:04 if they were available at pick 15. Terryon Arnold, cornerback from Alabama, Brock Bowers, tight end from Georgia, Brian Thomas Jr., wide receiver from LSU, Quinion Mitchell, cornerback from Toledo, and Dallas Turner, pass rusher from Alabama. Really, really good set of players. And realistically, if we're looking at how the draft likely goes, it probably won't be all of these guys available at pick 15. So we're purely living in the hypothetical world right now of who I would take among these very, very, very good prospects here. And I think for me, man, if I'm thinking about what fits what the Colts need the most, I'm thinking someone like Terry on Arnold or Quinnian Mitchell. I go back and forth between those two on who my number one

Starting point is 00:02:48 corner is in this class. I like Terry on Arnold's movement ability a little bit more lateral, like lateral ability. But Quinnian Mitchell just has that dog in him. You see it on film, you see it in the way that he attacks out of his own drop. So I could go either way with those two guys. But I think for me personally, I would go with one of those two guys in this hypothetical world. I love the fit of Brock Bowers. I love the fit of Brian Thomas Jr.

Starting point is 00:03:13 And I think Dallas Turner can be a fantastic pass rusher in the NFL. But for me, again, this Colts defense needs a corner. And I got two guys right here on the board in this hypothetical that are fantastic cornerbacks. I mean, Quinion Mitchell has the potential to be a really really good corner in the NFL I think he has you know pro bowl maybe even more potential and Terry on Arnold you know I maybe he doesn't have the long speed that a Quinion Mitchell has but he's so fluid and he's so smooth and he's so physical within the way that he plays uh that I'm good with either one of these

Starting point is 00:03:43 guys there you know I've, whatever the Colts need, like again, Quinion Mitchell, if you want to shoot for the Stars a little bit more, go with Quinion if you want the better player currently and the better player, you know, the more likely chance of getting a good player. I think Teron Arnold's a great pick there. So yeah, it really comes down to what mood I'm in that day,

Starting point is 00:04:00 how I'm picking between Arnold and Mitchell. But for me, I think I would go with one of those two guys.'t you know I'm not saying that I wouldn't take a Brock Bowers obviously a Brock Bowers at 15 would be fantastic but you know at the end of the day the Colts offense was very good last year without Anthony Richardson without a lot of their top players playing and don't get me wrong I want to continue adding to that offense but what is the biggest difference maker in round one of this draft for the Colts? It's a defender and it's a cornerback. And if you get an option of Quinion Mitchell or Terry on Arnold there at 15, I think you

Starting point is 00:04:33 got to run that card in and get one of those two guys. Now, if both those guys are gone and Bowers is on the board or Brian Thomas Jr. is on the board, then it's a different conversation. Then it's OK. It's not, you know, the top corner versus the top tight end or anything like that. It's the top tight end versus the tier two cornerbacks and Cooper Dajin and Kool-Aid McKinstry and stuff like that. Then I can be talked more into a Brock Bowers type, but if Arnold and Mitchell are there, or just one of those guys

Starting point is 00:04:59 there at 15, I'm all in, give me one of those guys. Let's roll from there. Let's get that top corner in here. A guy who can play on the backside and play some man coverage, a guy who can be an immediate contributor for this team and can do some really, really good things. So great question there. Really like that question. And, yeah, I would go corner. But I could totally see people wanting Bowers or Thomas Jr.

Starting point is 00:05:22 Or, honestly, the Colts might prefer Dallas Turner out of that bunch there. I'm not too sure. But yeah, I would certainly go with one of the corners there at that pick. At Patrick W41, asked quite a few questions in this one, but we love that. We love, be redundant, be rambling. That's what I am, guys. I'm someone who speaks without periods and question marks and all that. It's just run on sentence.

Starting point is 00:05:44 So Patrick, we appreciate it here. Does Bowers not doing anything in terms of RAS? who speaks without periods and question marks and all that it just run on sentence uh so Patrick we appreciate it here uh does Bauer is not doing anything in terms of RAS measurable so just like the pre-draft workouts at his pro day drop his stock with Ballard in the Colts uh so to first answer that question apparently there are some rumors that he did run his 40 I don't know if that's confirmed or not Albert Breer said that he didn't do anything this dog's daily account I believe is what put it out there that Bowers ran a four or five, three. If he did run a four or five, three, that's great. That's awesome to see. But again, we got to see the confirmation on that. But yeah, I mean, look, when it comes to the relative athletic score that the, you know, that Kentley Platt has put out, he's done a fantastic job with that stuff with his math

Starting point is 00:06:23 bomb stuff or the RAS system. But the Colts don't really believe in that system. You know, that system is more streamlined for us to view and see the pretty numbers compared to 1999 and stuff like that. You know, it's really not that system, the Colts view. They just have specific metrics that players need to hit at each position. And yeah, I do think Bowers not really doing much of the testing is a little bit of a factor in the Colts pre-draft assessment of him.

Starting point is 00:06:50 Now, does it exclude him from their board? Not necessarily. I mean, they took Dio Dangbo in the top 50, I believe, without doing any pre-draft testing. They took Julian Blackman in the top 100. They took Malik Hooker, what, 15th or 16th overall, when he didn't do any pre-draft testing either. So it doesn't exclude a player, but you have to be very confident in that player's ability to move, that player's athleticism, and all that stuff to take that shot, especially when, you know, Fowers, even if he is 241 pounds when he actually plays within games, you know, that's still a little bit small for a tight end. You know, it's a bit smaller than the typical tight end. So you need that the athletic ability

Starting point is 00:07:30 to be a top tier. Everything on film says that he can move like a top tier athlete. Like I'm not discounting the athlete that Brock Bowers is, but you want to check off as many boxes as possible, especially when you're spending a top 15 pick on a guy. So anytime that you miss a check mark on something, it props up other guys that you maybe had graded in a similar tier. So I'm not going to say that it drops Brock Bowers stock, but it might propel other players above him on the board. Like if they had two guys in a similar tier, you know, someone like a Quinion Mitchell and Brock Bowers and Quinion's doing every pre-draft test, he's dominating the senior bowl. He's killing in the interviews Bowers. You really only got the interviews and maybe some medical rechecks. Then a guy like Quinion might just surpass him because of that, because he's

Starting point is 00:08:14 giving you every bit of information you need. And he's hitting all those boxes that you need or Bowers is checking a bunch of boxes and then doing like an unfulfilled on other boxes there. So that's the best way I can really explain it there. It's not necessarily a, you know, it's not necessarily like, you know, he's going to fall because he didn't test. It's like, he's not moving up because he didn't test if that makes sense there. Uh, and then Patrick asked pretty much a similar question we got before from, from danger B12. Uh, but he asked who is Ballard taking of those so dallas turner quinnion mitchell brock bowers all there at 15 who is chris ballard taking i think this is a great question because we look at the ballard types and all three of these guys really do fit the ballard archetype

Starting point is 00:08:55 you know bowers is an athletic pass catcher quinnion mitchell dominating the senior bowl super athlete dallas turner hits every single pass rushing metric but it really comes down to positional value and where the Colts feel like they need to upgrade in this class so I think for the Colts it would come down to Turner versus Mitchell and honestly with how Chris Ballard has spent and invested in the edge position in his career I mean six of his 24 top 100 picks in his career have been on the defensive end position that's one out of every four top 100 picks have been an edge rusher I think I would leave Dallas Turner here I think Dallas Turner would be that guy for him in this scenario and I think Dallas Turner might be the only guy that they'd be willing to trade up for in the draft that's more speculation again that's

Starting point is 00:09:39 not me reporting anything but just by how much Chris Ballard values the trenches and values pass rusher off the edge and how just how pressed he has been to get that position right in the draft. I think Turner would be the one guy of this group that would stand out to him if he is really high on that on Dallas Turner. But coming up, guys, we're going to transition to, you know, could Chris Ballard surprise us in the draft? Is he going to actually go wide receiver or defense vendor corner in round one? Or is it going to be a surprise pick thatard surprise us in the draft? Is he going to actually go wide receiver or defensive end or corner in round one? Or is it going to be a surprise pick that none of us really see coming? Passion, drive, and patience. The formula for winning championships is also what keeps your ride or die alive.

Again, our everyday or sent them all in to our Twitter account at, Colts fans. We're back answering more questions. Again, our everydayers sent them all in to our Twitter account, at LockedOnColts. If you guys want to participate next time we do a Q&A, please send your questions to at LockedOnColts on Twitter, and we will try to get around to them there.

Starting point is 00:11:16 This was one of my favorite ones at my Colts account, Jeremy Stevenson. You guys all love him and know him from Twitter. He asked, if the Colts end up drafting interior defensive line, then linebacker, and then interior offensive line with their first three selections, can you give us your reactions and how fans should take the news? Now, you can even put this in any different way you want. If they take interior offensive line in the first round, if they take an interior defensive line in the first round, I don't think they could take a linebacker the first round this year. They're just not a linebacker to take. But regardless, if these are the three positions they take with their first three picks without trading back or

Starting point is 00:11:53 trading up or anything like that, what are your guys' reactions to that news? And should we be shocked if Chris Ballard were to do that? It's a hilarious question because I don't think it's completely outside the realm of possibility. I personally don't think they take an interior defensive lineman in the top 100, but I could see a linebacker. I could see an interior offensive lineman. They got two interior offensive linemen coming up on contract years. So I could see those positions being taken. But if you're asking for my reaction to that, I would be a little disappointed,

Starting point is 00:12:30 be a little, a little bit shocked, you know, because the Colts have clear pressing needs. And Chris Ballard's typically done a good job in his career of at least throwing draft capital at their, at their pressing needs in a given year. But, you know, again, I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility that like, Hey, Byron Murphy sitting there at 15, Byron Murphy is the only blue player left on the board and they go Byron Murphy. And then, you know, round two rolls around, they're looking at the board and, and edge Cooper is their highest rated player. And they're like, okay, cool. Let's get edge Cooper here. And then, you know, again, in round three, you know, you're looking at centers or guards for the future. And you grab a, you know, Mason McCccormick brandon coleman or hunter norzad whoever it's going to be there in round three and you just roll with those

Starting point is 00:13:10 guys and and then at the end of the day you're looking back being like oh my gosh how did we not take a corner wide receiver i mean you know jeremy's question here part of his question was how would fans take the news or how fans should take the news i think again it depends on the players taken but i do think you should be a little bit annoyed i know how fans should take the news. I think, again, it depends on the players taken, but I do think you should be a little bit annoyed. I know how fans will take the news and it will be not good, not good whatsoever with those selections there. So Jeremy, I mean, you're getting everyone ready to get their torches out and everything here with that question. I wouldn't, you know, there's a way that I wouldn't hate it, but I probably would hate it. I probably would hate it right there. So, uh, yeah, that's my answer to that question. I probably would hate

Starting point is 00:13:50 it. There's a scenario where I don't, because like, if they take like Johnny Newton from Illinois in the first round, like he's one of my favorite players. I have him as a blue player in this draft. I would be a little disappointed, but it would be like my reaction to the Jonathan Taylor pick a couple of years ago where it's like, OK, I would have taken someone else. That's not a running back slash, you know, in this one defensive tackle. But I think that player is going to be so good that I don't really care. Like, it's fine for me. So that's kind of my reaction to that one right there.

Starting point is 00:14:18 We're talking some more surprises here. We got Kyle Winslow here saying Chris Ballard said that he has a position in mind in this year's draft. What is your best guess as to that position? And then knowing this, why did Zach Hicks still pick a defensive end in his latest mock draft? I love this question because Chris Ballard does kind of give us hints throughout the draft season when he does talk about which way he's going in the draft. It it's not these very obvious hints but when you're looking back in hindsight and using that hindsight bias that we all know and love you can kind of say oh yeah okay there's where he said it right there there's where he said it uh so when Kyle asked this question you know Ballard said he

Starting point is 00:14:57 has a position in mind when he says he has a position in mind it's not necessarily like set in stone you know like oh like, oh my gosh, I know for a fact I'm going corner in round one. But then what if the two or three guys that you had circled in round one all go before your pick? Then you're not going corner in round one at that point. You can have a good feel for it. You know, you can have a good feel for which guy you're going or which position you're going, but you have to have contingencies in place when it comes to the draft because you never know what'sencies in place when it comes to the draft because you never know what's going to happen.

Starting point is 00:15:26 I mean, the best example I can think of is years ago when I was covering Washington still, I remember the Giants were set. They were like, okay, we're going to take Brandon Sheriff in the first round in the top 10. Brandon Sheriff's our guy. There's nobody else on our board. It's all Brandon Sheriff. And then Washington, like two picks ahead of them,

Starting point is 00:15:44 takes Brandon Sheriff, and the Giants panicked, and they took Eric Flowers there in the top 10. And that didn't work out for them. So you have to have contingencies in place. And I think really when it comes to the Colts in this one, I think they're going into this first round with a couple positions circled. I think wide receiver is in play. I think corner is definitely in play. And I think edge rusher is in play. Those are all positions that could use an upgrade this next season could also use an upgrade for the future. And depending on which player is there, you're going to go with one of those guys. So when I took defensive end in this latest mock draft, I traded back in that mock draft. You guys can read

Starting point is 00:16:20 it on horseshoehuddle.com. It was one of two mock drafts I'm going to release this off season, like official mock drafts. But yeah, I traded back and I took Jared Verse from Florida State. And for me, again, when it comes to the Colts, I think at 15, they have a couple of players circled, you know, guys like Mitchell and Dallas Turner and, you know, Brock Bowers. But there's a very, very realistic chance that those guys are not going to be there at 15. So then you get into the trade out scenario where, you know, you're moving back to 20 or 21, 22, whatever it's going to be. And then you have a new group of players that you have circled. You have your Brian Thomas juniors, your Xavier Worthy's, you have Jared verse, you know, those type of guys, Cooper

Starting point is 00:16:58 Dajin, I think would be in there. You know, you're circling those guys and you're picking among those guys there. So again, Chris Ballard could have had a player in mind like a Quinion Mitchell or Terran Arnold or both those guys. But if they're not there at 15, you can't still pick them. And then you have to go to your contingencies. And one of those contingencies is always a tradeback. So in my mock draft, I predicted the Colts to have to go to those contingencies, move back to 20 and take Jared versus defensive end who fits a lot of what they need. And I know that they like defensive end in this class. class so yeah I that's what I did in my mock again I don't know which position he was talking about there I think that he's very high on

Starting point is 00:17:33 wide receiver in this class I think he's very high on corner especially early and I think they want to go defensive end in the top 100 picks but you know I don't know which who he was kind of talking about there that's. That's a great question because it puts me on the spot there and I'm not exactly too sure, but I went defensive end because I was predicting that contingency of the trade back. That's what I thought they would do. And I still think that that's a very realistic option for the team, but it's one of many options. There's so many options that could happen. When you're not picking in the top five, like you were last year, you're preparing for multiple're, you know, you're preparing for

Starting point is 00:18:06 multiple scenarios. You're not preparing just for the one scenario where, you know, last year, the Colts had like two or three contingencies where it's like, okay, Richardson's likely going to be there. If the Texans pull a fast one on us and take Richardson, we'll get Stroud. If somehow the quarterbacks go top three, we'll move back and get Levis later. You know, they were ready for those things, but at 15, it's 30 contingencies. It's, you know, so many different scenarios that can happen. They have to be prepared for all those things there and have clusters of players that you're looking into rather than just like two or three guys like the Colts were last year. But great question, Kyle. I love that you put me on the spot there

Starting point is 00:18:40 and made me have to ramble about, you know, a lot of my answers to it there. So great question. And just the perfect one for this Q and a session coming up though, we're going to shift our focus more to wide receiver with our next question and talk about the difference between a field stretcher, wide receiver, and just more of that, that traditional, like do it all type guy, which one the Colts would prefer in this type of class. All right, everyone, everyone's favorite Twitter

Starting point is 00:19:06 account at Veve Jones 007. Kenny Kisenko did a great job, you know, memeing his way through every draft season there on Colts Twitter. He asked, would an offense featuring Michael Pittman Jr. and Roma Dunzey condense the field too much? Does a field stretcher better unlock things deep and open things up underneath? I think that's a great question. I think it's a fantastic question because we're not, you know, when you're building a basketball team, I always like to use other sports as my reference when I'm talking about football. I think it just brings everyone together there. But like when you're building a basketball team, do you want five guys who are all elite at attacking the rim? You know, five guys who are just elite at attacking the rim. Five guys who are just elite getting to the paint,

Starting point is 00:19:47 drawing fouls, scoring in tight. That's a great thing to have. Having five guys who can do that makes your team good. But would you rather have that or would you rather have five guys with differing skill sets? Would you rather have five guys where one's a dominant post player, one's a great three-point shooter who can space it out, one's a great defender who can also pass on offense, you know, you have those mixing

Starting point is 00:20:08 personalities that unlocks every area of the game where it's like, okay, now we need a three point shot. When you have the five guys who are great at going at the basket, who's shooting that three pointer, you know, where the other team that's more complete and has guys who can fill every role, you have the guy who's ready to shoot that three pointer. So to kind of answer what Kenan's asking here, you know, do you want just another Pittman type guy? It doesn't even have to be a Roma Dunze. It can be an Xavier Leggett we're talking about who has a little bit more juice than Pittman, but he's still more of the intermediate underneath guy. It can be a Malachi Corley. It can be an AD Mitchell to a degree. I think Mitchell can get a little bit more vertical, but you know, it can be like an AD Mitchell type. Do you want those

Starting point is 00:20:48 types of guys or do you want your Xavier worthies? Do you want your Troy Franklin's? Do you want those guys who can get vertical beat guys, beat teams deep and open up the field? So Pittman can work in the under work in the intermediate and downs can work in the underneath in the, in the slot stuff stuff I think that's a little bit more valuable to me now what I hate a Roma dunes day at like 9 or 15 or wherever it is at the Colts trade up or if they stay at 15 absolutely not look at the end of the day if we're talking about again if we're going back to the basketball reference would you rather have multiple guys who are elite at getting to the paint and scoring or just not having multiple of them, just having one and

Starting point is 00:21:25 still an incomplete team. I'd still rather have the two elites, but I think having that more complete, versatile attack on offense is so much better for your team than having a bunch of guys who do the exact same thing. You can survive with two guys who do the same thing. Look at the Rams last year with Puka Nakua and Cooper Cupp. Like those guys are very, very similar receivers. Puka can get a little bit more vertical, but for the most part, they're both intermediate beaters who can win over the middle of the field.

Starting point is 00:21:54 And they were still a great offense. But at the end of the day, I want guys who can do it all. I want guys who can do multiple things or can do just their one thing super well, which opens up for the other guy. So having Pittman, who is this yards after catch, over the middle of the field, tough receiver, who can get those tough yards for you,

Starting point is 00:22:10 who can dominate in the RPO game, having Downs, who's your quick win slot receiver that you could put on an island, and then having an Xavier Worthy, Brian Thomas Jr., Troy Franklin, who can just take the top off of defense and open things up for the other two, I think that's immensely valuable for what the Colts want to do.

Starting point is 00:22:27 It's immensely valuable for what Sheen Steichen wants to do with his vertical passing attacks. So, you know, again, gun to my head, Kenan, I would definitely say I want the field stretcher over the do-it-all type. Now, again, I think Roma Dunze can do more than just the underneath stuff, like Pittman, I think he can get more vertical than a Pittman can. I think he can do some of the vertical stuff, but I think a better fit for this offense would be the worthy Thomas Jr.

Starting point is 00:22:52 or the Troy Franklins, especially when you have Anthony Richardson's arm. I mean, look, you have to cover 70 yards of grass both ways, you know, 70 yards back and then 50 yards to the side. Like you have to cover so much grass with with Anthony Richardson as your quarterback now if you give him a guy like again the Troy Franklin Xavier Worthy Brian Thomas Jr you actually have to cover all that grass with Gardner Minshew you didn't have to cover all that grass but when you have the speedster plus Anthony Richardson you have to cover all that grass and be aware of it which opens the field for the Pittman Juniors and the Josh Downs of the world to be more productive.

Starting point is 00:23:26 So yes, to answer your question, Kenan, I definitely think a field stretcher would be a better fit in this offense than, again, I don't want to say a Doonsay, but just more of like another Pittman type. I love Michael Pittman Jr. I would put 11 of them on offense because I love Pittman Jr.,

Starting point is 00:23:44 but I think diversifying your attack on offense is the way to go. And just adding different types of players in your wide receiver room is the way to go on offense. That's the way I've always believed football should be played. You've got to have different archetypes out there on the outside and then backups who also fit those archetypes. So you have, you know, you can have rotation of guys, you can have replacements of injuries happen. And you can just still attack teams with that different variety of skill sets. So great question, Ken. And I love that question so much, because it's about team building. And it's how I would build an offense, I would build an offense with different skill sets, and guys who succeed in different ways to maximize what my offense can do. So again, great question there. I love it.

Starting point is 00:24:30 At Matthias Dahl, I think it's Matthias Dahl, 1993. Please yell at me if I got that wrong. He said, would you draft Quinion Mitchell slash Taron Arnold at, I'm assuming at 15 and then trade up and pick Xavier Worthy or we'll add Troy Franklin in there too, just for, just for redundancy with all that stuff that we were just talking about. Look, you guys know I am team trade back. I love trading back. I love accumulating assets. But if you already got that corner at 15, especially with the way that I feel about day two of this draft, I'd be all for moving up from 46 to the late 20s if it's possible

Starting point is 00:25:02 to get the receiver that you want. Again, it doesn't have to be a worthy. It can be it can be A.D. Mitchell, Troy Franklin, Brian Thomas, whoever it is, whoever it is that you really want there in the 20s. Yeah, I'm all for it. I'm all for it. Go get your receiver. Like, get that corner figured out if you can at 15.

Starting point is 00:25:20 Again, don't force it if if you don't have to. If Quinion's there, take him. Be happy. You got your corner. We're good. We're good. But if you see Worthy there at like 28 or 29 and you really feel like he can unlock this offense,

Starting point is 00:25:33 go get him. Go get him. I mean, third round pick, be darned, be damned, whatever it is there. It doesn't matter. You know, go up and get Worthy and feel good that, hey, we got a weapon for our offense. We got a weapon for our defense. If we have to trade back and accumulate more assets we can but like yeah i'm all for it

Starting point is 00:25:50 that's your guy go get them if you if you have worthy as a blue player we talk about this a lot you know blues and and and red players where reds are helpful players to your team blue players are the difference makers and the true you know pro, pro bowl potential, whatever you, whatever you deem it to be. If you're sitting there at 46 and, you know, you're like, ah, I don't really love day two of this draft. We have 46, we have 82, you know, we can see what we can do with that. But you're looking at the draft board and your last blue player is still there at 28, 29.

Starting point is 00:26:20 You have an opportunity to go get them. Yeah, go get them. Go get them. Go get your blues, you know, search for your blues, get your them, yeah, go get them. Go get them. Go get your blues. Search for your blues. Get your blues in here and go from there. But only do that if you really feel like Worthy or Franklin, whoever, is a blue player. Don't make this trade out of desperation like,

Starting point is 00:26:37 oh, we just need this speedster right now. Don't do that. But if you truly feel that Worthy is a blue, go get them. Go get your blues, especially if you've got corner figured out at 15. If you've got Quin worthy is a blue, go get them, go get your blues, especially if you got corner figured out at 15. Like if you got Quinn, you're on Mitchell or Taryn Arnold at 15, you're feeling good. You know, your defense is looking a lot better because you got one of the two better corners in the class.

Starting point is 00:26:55 And then you can, you can sparge a little bit. You can, you know, you can, uh, you can do your little cheat day that you do after a good exercise. So go up and get worthy, get him into your offense and just roll from there. So yeah, again, if, if worthy is a blue player for you, and I think for a lot of us, he is because I, I feel like I've convinced a lot of you guys that worthy is a good player. Go up and get your blue, but only if you view him as a blue player there. Another great question. Thank you again, Matias there. And I think that's all we have time for
