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.
Behind him, I do have David Bailey.
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
I think, 25 years old, you know, on draft day.
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.
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.
And he's going to be close to 30 years old if he reaches that second contract.
So I do think that should be taken into consideration.
But it's probably less so for a team that,
is looking for an immediate impact player that, you know, really is just valuing the next three years more than anything.
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.
He's somebody that, you know, can muddy pass lanes for the opposing quarterback when you drop him into coverage.
He's somebody that has the size that can overwhelm, the size and the quickness to overwhelm an offensive lineman.
So, you know, he's able to rush the passer.
He's just a really well-rounded player.
linebacker prospect.
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.
You're not really getting the most out of that player.
So to me, I think you have to be a little bit creative with him as well.
But speaking to your overall point about this being kind of an unorthodox draft,
