Like, is there anyone who would trade the opportunity to take in Cooper Fly?
Hm.
I don’t think so.
I don’t use anybody.

I don’t think so.
I mean, I, I guess, like who’s the best player available, like, in theory, let’s just say it’s Philly, like Philly gets the number one pick, and odds are they’re taking Cooper Flack, but who’s like the best guy that could shockingly become available.
