He has to be able to play like that.

I'm not saying he can't eventually get there.

I mean, it's certainly true that he played immediately at Purdue as a true freshman, right?

And he fought his way up to transferring to Oregon and being a true starter at Oregon.

Like that is, you know, that does indicate an upward arrow.

Don't get me wrong.

It could happen, but...

I'm not drafting a safety first round based on could maybe sort of, I mean, right now this looks like a guy that might end up being a decent starter.

Yeah.

I really like Bud Clark, dude.

And I think if we're talking about pick 108 for the Giants, they should be... It should be close between Bud Clark and whoever else they're discussing at that moment.

Because, you know, if we're going to speak strictly about the New York Giants here, again, if you want to talk about how thin the safety spot is outside of 2026, this is somebody that told...

but he doesn't have a lot of experience playing super deep.

You know what I mean?

Like there's not a ton of film that I saw of him being like a single high dude or anything like that.

I don't know if it's better, but I think it allows him to do both.

I think that in a Denard Wilson, John Harbaugh-style defense, I think it allows him to rotate into that, rotate out of that, do it pre-snap, do it post-snap, or just line up.

I think that the more you can do, the better.

I don't know that he's going to be full-time in any one spot because of his versatility, but I do think that everything you said about the advantages of playing him down low are certainly correct.

That certainly highlights...
