So I don't think even if you were to make Reese this full-time edge rusher that it's necessarily the big overhaul or the project that some may think when you're talking about transitioning from one position to another.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

Behind him, I do have David Bailey.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

um you know it's there's definitely a tier gap between those two players in my opinion um and then you're getting down into Ruben Bain, Keldrick Falk I'm a little bit lower on Cassius Howell I think um just with his size and his arm length it's a little bit too much of an outlier for me to feel comfortable with that in the first round um and then Akeem Mesidor from Miami similar uh you know he's

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

I think, 25 years old, you know, on draft day.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

So, you know, he really had his breakout year in his senior season when he's playing against, you know, some teenagers, kids in their early 20s.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

And, you know, why did it take so long for you to kind of reach that point is kind of, you know, stuck in the back of my mind.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

And he's going to be close to 30 years old if he reaches that second contract.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

So I do think that should be taken into consideration.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

But it's probably less so for a team that,

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

is looking for an immediate impact player that, you know, really is just valuing the next three years more than anything.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

Yeah, I mean, he's, again, somebody that probably not to the extent of an Arvell Reese in the way that he's used, but he is uniquely built.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

He's somebody that, you know, can muddy pass lanes for the opposing quarterback when you drop him into coverage.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

He's somebody that has the size that can overwhelm, the size and the quickness to overwhelm an offensive lineman.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

So, you know, he's able to rush the passer.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

He's just a really well-rounded player.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

linebacker prospect.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

And I think, again, you want to be creative with the way that you use that because you're not, if you, if he's got the skillset of a Lamborghini and you're playing him like a Honda Accord, you're not really maximizing his value.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

You're not really getting the most out of that player.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns

So to me, I think you have to be a little bit creative with him as well.

The Program
H2 Josh Edwards, Dianna Russini Resigns
