Right.
No, it's, uh- Which one?
Yeah, it's, it's You gotta be The linebacker position's interesting because it's such an undervalued position at the NFL level.
Like, if you're looking at If you were to put a price tag on each position, right?
Defensive end would be way up there.
Cornerback would honestly be way up there.
Quarterback obviously is, is the number one.
Wide receiver, left tackle, and I'd say linebacker's probably in that bottom half to bottom quarter of all of the positions on the field and that's the part that hurts them, like that off-ball linebacker.
Right.
Because the flip side is Arvel Reese, who's listed as a linebacker, but is more so the T.J. Watt type where- Mm-hmm his hand- you're technically a linebacker, but he's gonna be best with his hand in the dirt rushing the passer.
He's an edge rusher.
He's a defensive end.
and, and, like, that will up his value because he's gonna be the number two overall pick.
Like, he's gonna go to the New York Jets or, or at least if he doesn't go two, he's gonna go three or four.
Like, he's definitely, a top five guy because he's gonna be getting after the quarterback and, and that part's gonna be awesome.
I mean, there's a real world where there's four Buckeyes taken.
There's a world where four Buckeyes are taken in the top five.
I don't see it, 'cause it'll go Mendoza's cer- definitely one.
You think it's gonna be Reese two.
Potentially Kaleb three, and then, number four to the, to the Tennessee Titans would be the one spot where you could say, "Hey, that one where Sonny would go in the top five," because Robert Saleh's now the head coach there, and he would be a perfect fit.
Saleh's been so good in, in San Francisco because he's always had elite linebacker play and that would be the one spot.
And then five would be Gi- Carnell to the Giants.
How I see it really shaking out is all of them in the top 10.
I see them all in the top 10, at some way, in some way, shape, or form.
and it's certainly gonna be exciting and it's gonna be a busy first, like, two hours of the draft for Buckeye fans.
And then they'll wait a little bit to get Kaden McDonald, to kind of close up the end of that first round because we all forget about him, but he's gonna go to a team, Kev, that's, like, ready to go now.
And I, I was writing about this the other day.
Some of those guys who are, like, the really, really good but not, like, the elite guys where they're gonna go picks 20 to, you know, hopefully 32, they're going to a team that's ready to contend.
And Kaden McDonald at the defensive line position or defensive tackle position may land somewhere like Chicago, like Seattle- Yeah as some of these teams are gonna go through.
And you're like, "Uh-oh, he's gonna go to a team that's trying to go win the Super Bowl now."
I can see him going anywhere from the Packers at 20.
They need some interior help.
the Steelers need all the help they can get at 21, so-
