And while I don't think they did anything over the last two off seasons that would preclude you from making a pick in any spot outside of maybe tackle, because they have spent the last two first rounds getting Olufesanu and then Arman Membu to be their bookends, both guys that I feel pretty good about long-term.
I think that right now you just look at the big board and you're the Jets and you don't have a lot of good players.
You don't have a lot of young players that pop.
arval reese to me is just the one guy who pops most like if you're asking me non-quarterbacks that can turn into multiple time all pros just because of their athletic profile and what they can be at their absolute best arval reese can be a difference making linebacker and maybe you can flex him down to edge rush i think that that might just be the biggest question is what do you think he's going to be on his second contract has he proven that he's an all-pro linebacker has he
He's proven that he's an eight to ten sack, you know, edge rusher.
And what do you kind of see as a long term goal?
But at least for the first couple of years, I just think that New York needs a player that can get you to go buy a jersey and be excited to go watch that guy in key situations.
And I think that Reese is probably your best bet at that.
I think he's not even going to be 21 at the time of the draft, right?
Like the, the trajectory there, if you get this right, it could be to the moon, right?
It could be Nick Benito.
It
And I think that you would be over the moon if you're a Jets fan, if you got a Nick Benito style of style of edge rusher and especially that level of production.
I think that maybe the thorniest piece of this to me is that I don't know if you can come in the door and say 100 percent of the time he's only going to be an edge rusher.
That's it.
That's all he does.
Right.
Because you are really shrinking now the positive outcomes.
Now, that also means that you might have some weeks where, hey, maybe you played linebacker more than he should have.
Maybe he played too many snaps early downs in the run game as an edge.
