| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Talkin' Giants presented by the Fanatics Sportsbook. |
| 0:09.4 | What a way for the New York Giants to really kick off the John Harbaugh era with drafting Arval |
| 0:17.6 | Reese linebacker, super ultra versatile linebacker from Ohio State, and drafting |
| 0:24.2 | Francis Mowie offensive linemen from the University of Miami. Two players, Sean, that were |
| 0:30.8 | ranked on their own personal board in the top five, on the consensus board, they were ranked |
| 0:37.2 | second and seventh. |
| 0:38.8 | They drafted two players that are both not even 21 years old yet. |
| 0:44.6 | And they have experience on the biggest stages. |
| 0:49.0 | There are questions on both of these picks, Sean. |
| 0:51.4 | But this is why John Harbaugh is here to have a plan for these guys |
| 0:55.6 | to help answer these questions, to help smooth these transitions over to the NFL. |
| 1:01.1 | Sean, I think the New York football giants hit a home run on night one of the NFL draft. |
| 1:07.1 | How are you? Justin, I feel great. I agree. |
| 1:11.1 | It's a home run. |
| 1:44.7 | It's the most shocking home run because, I mean, how many mock drafts did we do with kind of the assumption that Orville Reese was going to be off the board? By the way, shout up Peter Schrager, who built this theme. By the way, Peter Schrager's first mock, he had Francis Maui Noah as well. He was the first to link him to the Giants. look, Justin, overall as a whole, I knew deep down. Even if we didn't say it, we said it. We talked about Caleb Downs, which we'll get to. We talked about Sonny Stiles. We both agreed the Giants needed an impact defensive stud on this team to help this football team. We just got the wrong impact defensive stud that would be there at five. |
| 1:45.8 | And that was Arville Reese. |
| 1:47.3 | And we'll talk about where he's going to play and whatnot. And then something we screamed about. Part of the reason we didn't think Jeremiah Love was going to be the right pick for the Giants was the old line really wasn't in position to take a running back despite what people said. we screamed about, oh my God, is Daniel Filet-Lay going to play guard for this team? |
| 2:02.5 | Do they have to bring back Greg Van Roten? |
| 2:04.2 | They answered that. They got the best, arguably the best tackle in the draft that will, he just wants to play a position on the O line. He will play guard. And guess what? In a couple of years, his germane Illuminaur gets older. If you want to ship them back out to the outside, he's got that David Deal versatility. So the Giants got the best alignment in the draft. And some might say the best freak athlete player in the draft. So, Justin, how are you not pumped up right now? Yeah, I really am pumped up, man. And again, like, this is why John Harbaugh is here. Arvo Reese has questions on what his fit is going to be. And I love that they came out |
| 2:36.0 | and said right away. And if you haven't seen it, they were asked. Harbaugh and Shane were asked, |
| 2:41.9 | where do you kind of see him playing? Where do you see him kind of lining up in the NFL? |
| 2:46.6 | Because Isaiah Simmons is like the one big example of he didn't play a position in college |
