0:00.0	Hello, welcome back to Inside the Data on Inside the Birds.
0:13.4	I'm Jeff Mosher.
0:14.7	And of course, I'm joined by our analytics expert, Sam Finkel, as we continue to look at the 2025 NFL draft class position by position.
0:24.7	And Sam has created these great scatter charts for each positional group that show the prospects
0:30.4	and how they measure up as far as their athletic testing versus their production,
0:35.6	where that places them on the chart.

1:14.6	So for tackles, obviously there's less, you know, objective metrics for them necessarily.

1:29.6	how many QB hurries, how many QB hits.
1:31.7	And those are the kind of data that goes into production, especially from a tackle,
1:36.7	or really any offensive line.
1:38.5	Right. And those kind of things are measured on a per snap basis, right?
