You know, I didn't think it'd be Tate.

I like, I thought it'd be Reese.

Cause I, you know, my understanding was like Robert Sala viewed Arville Reese as the type of player who could change his defense.

Now,

you know i think you look at like the again picking in the top five um what's the safe thing to do well you know like carnell tate checks a lot of boxes it's he's a he's tough um you know he was durable for the most part in college kind of had a freak thing at the end but other than that he's been durable in college he's a really really good blocker he's a polished route runner and he can get down the field

And he allows them to kind of slot the other guys that they've drafted, you know, over the last couple of years at the skilled positions, slot them into, you know, roles that are more commensurate with who they are.

And even like, you know, a guy like Wandale Robinson coming in from the Giants.

So, yeah, I think this is an investment in your young quarterback and trying to give him something to grow with and someone to grow with and,

um you know just sort of a middle of the fairway pick before i think at the baseline you get a really good player and i think the question has to be because he was never the number one in ohio state um you know playing you know the last three years first with with marvin harrison and then with jeremiah smith like can he evolve into a number one i think that'll be the question that that we'll be asking over the next couple of years with him

Yeah, I mean, well, I think if you put the two pieces together, first of all, like, that's John Harbaugh.

Big, physical, tough, like the two guys they draft, I think are two of the

Maybe the two biggest badasses in the draft.

You know what I mean?

So to get Reese and Maui Noah, I think does make a statement in that way.

They viewed Reese as an off-ball linebacker.

And I think if you want to look at how Matt Patricia used him last year, it was the role that Jamie Collins played for the Patriots a decade ago.

call that the buck linebacker and he he he plays off the law off the ball on early downs and then down on the line of scrimmage on third down and that's how the giants viewed him they felt like he could very much fill a need for them off the ball and a lot of times the reality is on passing downs your off-ball linebackers you know this ryan and the nfl now are coming off the field and not playing

So you get that need filled.

And then on, you know, and then in long yardage situations, now this guy's a weapon as a pass rusher.

And you have him, you have Abdul Carter who can rush inside and outside.
