185 00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:28,860 And, and, and once we answer that question, we can know, okay, who do we 186 00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:31,020 wanna pursue in the free, in free agency? 187 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,670 And or who do we wanna look at drafting or, or moving up or back or whatever. 188 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:38,070 Like what do we do with our pick if Ritter's the guy?
