The fans are just now learning about this.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

So whether it's new to you or NFL teams is kind of irrelevant because again, I think the court of public opinion matters.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

He's at the top of my edge board for a couple of reasons.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

One, he's kind of expressed his desire to play that at the next level.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

And two, I think, you know, there's split decisions on what his best position is.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

If he's more of an off ball, if he's more of an edge rusher.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

if you're taking him in the top three overall, you're going to have him rushing the passer.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

That's just where the value is.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

You know, I know Sonny Stiles is, you know, being projected in a similar range, but to me, if you're taking Arvell Reese in the top three overall, it's with the intention of making him a full-time pass rusher.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

Now, what I will say is I think there is,

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

an element of him needing to land in the right situation where he doesn't necessarily need to be a full-time address or a full-time off-ball linebacker.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

You can kind of deploy him in a few different ways to where you're able to maximize his versatility.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

I think that's the best outcome for him.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

So, you know, I don't want to put him into a box because I think he is a unique talent.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

But at the end of the day, his best value to me is going to be,

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

making that transition to edge rusher full-time and rushing the pass rusher, or rushing the quarterback, rather, just like Micah Parsons and Abdul Carter.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

Both of those guys were former off-ball linebackers.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

They made the transition pretty seamlessly to rush the passer in a year, and now we're seeing them as being two of the better edge rushers in the NFL.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

Obviously, it's early in Carter's

and he may still have some maturity issues that he needs to clear up, but certainly a gifted player.
