"I feel like the narrative around [here is] the house is burning, it's incorrect," Ishbia said. "... Fans like to look in the future and say, 'Hey, I really like that 2031 draft pick because maybe that seventh grader is going to be really good and we're going to draft him and one day he's going to be a player.'"
What the hell is he talking about? Fans are definitely not looking ahead to 2031. Fans in general are short-sighted and stupid and would do the exact same kind of video game trades that Mat has made.
"Five in the next eight years, we have a first-round draft pick. I know that's not a cool thing to say out there because people like to say their narratives that we have no draft picks, but we have five in the next eight years and we can trade two of 'em next month if we want. So it is not like people say we have no flexibility."
Is he going to trade literally every first round pick he can now? Thank god for the Stepien rule I guess.
