| 0:37.9 | podcast i'm dan schneier joins those my co-host nick falado they were here to break down a couple |
| 0:42.5 | draft prospects we like the giants may have to get creative to get these guys we're having an |
| 0:47.2 | opportunity to draft these guys but they're worth discussing because they bring a lot to the game |
| 0:51.5 | and they bring a lot from a projection standpoint and one of them i, has an actual possibility to be on the board for the Giants. |
| 0:58.0 | We'll find out in a moment. |
| 0:59.6 | Those two players are the final two Ohio State defenders we wanted to discuss. |
| 1:03.1 | It's Arvel Reese, the edge slash linebacker prospect. |
| 1:06.9 | And I think you can play both kind of like an Abdul Carter type hybrid, but totally different players. |
| 1:12.1 | And then Katie McDonald, the interior defensive lineman defensive tackle for the Ohio State Buckeyes. |
| 1:17.3 | Let's start with Reese, Nick. |
| 1:19.3 | And I'll start by saying this. |
| 1:22.7 | Interestingly enough, we've done this now how many years in a row, four, five seriously for the draft, maybe? Or less. I would say more, I think, man. Trying to think back to when our first like serious draft. Our first job was 20, 20. 2020. It's been a while. We're old. But I don't know. Did we cover it like we do now in that first one? We might have. Let's say we've been doing this for six years. I don't think I've ever studied for me personally, a prospect that I think is stronger pound for pound. |
| 1:49.4 | So now, again, adjusting this to his weight, not saying, obviously I've watched like feasts in the run game on the offensive line and defense line that are like 320 pounds that are powerful. |
| 2:00.3 | But pound for pound, I don't think I've watched a more powerful prospect pop on contact |
| 2:05.3 | than Arvel Reese. |
| 2:06.8 | He is so exciting to me from a strength standpoint. |
| 2:11.0 | The way that he makes contact with defenders, I'm sorry, with offensive linemen, either when |
| 2:15.1 | they're coming forward in the run game and he just totally displaces them at times. Sometimes they have sniffers coming around and he just demolish the cleats them, puts them in the ground, makes the tackle. And then when he's coming off the edge or when he's either coming off the edge, Nick or in the A gap or the B gap and blitzing up the middle when they sometimes use him as like a A or B gap blitzer and a running back tries to pass protect him. |
