Um, I went with Jihad Campbell, the linebacker edge rusher from Alabama. I just feel like there's a, it's hard to see him not being a productive, good player on a defense, wherever he ends up, whether that's off coming off the edge as a pure pass rusher, or maybe doing a little bit of both lining up, you know, in, in the secondary or whatever, in the second level. Um,

Um,
I like this guy because he's really long. He's really twitchy, really explosive. He has a nose for the football. I mean, he had 117 tackles last year, 65 stops, according to PFF, which was second in the FBS. So he's always around the ball, has a really good feel for, you know, sifting through the trash and finding the football.

And I think he has really untapped potential as just a pure edge rusher. He was recruited as a five-star edge rush guy to Alabama, kind of got stuck behind a bunch of really good pass rushers, a bunch of firsts. round style pass rushers there. And so kind of just decided to play a different position.

He, he had, he offers that hybrid skillset, but I think he could be really good both as a linebacker and as an edge rusher, whatever, whatever he ends up doing, or maybe he does a little bit of both at the next level. And if you look, if you see him, he kind of has the physique of like a miles Garrett.

He's not quite as big as miles Garrett, but I'm like, this guy is just a rare, rare athlete playing defense. So I really like him.

I think he's going to end up going higher than that. Yeah. I think he'll go top 10 probably. What's your hesitation? Well, I think my hesitation is the history of tight ends in the first round is pretty grim in terms of like the return on investment for a lot of teams. If you look at first round tight end, like some of the best tight ends in the NFL are all like second rounders and lower.

And then, you know, so I think there's that. I think the fact that he never tested in this pre-draft process, we don't really know exactly how fast he is. That could throw teams off a little bit. The tight end position, generally speaking, is just not...
