The mood was positive as they celebrated the selection, reflecting a broader strategy to build a stronger defense.
We were excited to get Jalon. We had conviction & belief in Jalon. So, when he's there at 15 - again, we always make those calls. We're just doing our due diligence, but we're taking Jalon.
