Episode notes
Arvel Reese For Jets Fits Versatility And Long Game
- Daniel Jeremiah put Arvel Reese at No. 2 for the Jets because of his positional versatility in a 3-4 scheme and the Jets' ability to play a longer-term development game.
- He preferred Reese's multi-role coverage and rush traits there over a more certain pure EDGE because the Jets hold future draft capital.
Bain Versus Bailey Driven By Role Fit
- Jeremiah placed Ruben Bain Jr. to Washington and David Bailey to New Orleans based on role fit: Bain as a base-edge/run-stopper and Bailey as a speed edge for pass-rush juice.
- He argued Bain can kick inside on sub packages while Bailey supplies the Saints the explosive edge speed they lack.
Consider Receiver-First Gambles When Tackles Are Plentiful
- When a team has clear draft needs at tackle and receiver, consider the gamble of taking the higher-upside receiver first and addressing tackle later.
- Jeremiah used Cleveland as an example: take Carnell Tate at 6, then move to secure a left tackle afterward.
