For those of you watching on YouTube, I have to do a green screen today.

0:17.2

It's a whole disaster going on.

0:18.5

I tried to rework this mic, this mic, mic, stand, a lot of issues, a lot of frustration. You know, when little things go wrong, Nick, in life, it's got to be the most frustrating thing. Minor inconveniences, there's actually an episode of Curbier Enthusiasm once. I don't know if you remember this, where he gets sent to package, and it's like in one of those plastic wraps that are like sealed it's like

0:38.0

the most impossible thing to open there's just like a scene of like three minutes of him trying to open

0:41.9

that thing larry david and i thought it was actually like one of his funnier skits i just remember

0:45.6

cracking up the first time i saw that and just dying because i know the exact experience

0:49.7

and how gee damn frustrating it can be and that's where the the people with kids listening, to go through that. And now I've effed this whole thing up as far as this mic setup is. So it's working now. This is, you know, you can see it's not great. But you know what? We're going to move on. We've got a lot of draft to talk about. So my minor inconveniences aside,

1:44.3

what's going on, Nick? Nothing. I'm ready to talk about edge rushers, Dan, because I think the edge position is one that we're not discussing in terms of the New York Giants all that much. But if you think about it, the Giants need edge depth. We know what Wink Martin Day was able to do from 2018 to 2021 as the defensive coordinator. Oh, the Baltimore Ravens, they had a lot of guys that they could recycle through, cycle through. You know, so I'm, I think the Giants are going to look at this position possibly as early as day two, unless somebody fell to like day one, which I don't really envision a Nolan Smith fall that far, but we will go over him on this podcast. I think it's even possible they could take one at 25 or like 28 through 31, whatever, if they trade back. Yeah, because and that may be also, you know, a defensive lineman instead, like an interior guy, but they're looking to not only, like they're not viewing this thing like, We got a need we got a need for center. Let's fill that thing. We got a need for lineback. Let's fill that thing.

1:44.2

They're looking to not only, they're not viewing this thing like we got a need. We got a need for center. Let's fill that thing. We got a need for lineback. Let's fill that thing. They're looking to get the best players. And Jo Sheen is a GM who comes from the brand bean tree where they kept drafting strength on strength when it comes to the defensive line and the pass rushers. So I don't think it would be impossible to see one of these edge rushers go.

2:18.2

But we're going to talk about a bunch of them. We're going to try to also come up with a target round for each player that we like them at. So let's start at the top here. We're not going to, we could, you mean, you could do a quick thing on Will Anderson if you want. He's, he's my top ranked edge rusher. Yeah, same here. about, I think we could forego that.

2:15.4

Will Anderson is an absolute stud, and he's, He's my top ranked edge rusher. Yeah, same here. But I think we could forego that.

2:35.5

Will Anderson is an absolute stud.

2:37.4

And he's dominated college football the last two years, specifically in

2:40.9

2021.

2:41.7

And he has absolutely no shot of being selected by the New York guys.
