00:00Who's your guys' early pick for Defensive Rookie of the Year?

00:03Vegas and the odds have Giants edge rusher Abdul-Carter as their favorite.

00:08So here's our betting analyst for the post, Eric Richter,

00:11with why Abdul-Carter for D-Roy just absolutely, completely makes sense.

00:16E. Richter, AC for D-Roy.

00:20Tell the people what they need to know about this bet

00:22because the third overall pick has looked absolutely phenomenal throughout training camp.

00:27Well, that was what I was going to ask you.

00:28I was like, I want to hear all the training camp insights that you got on Abdul-Carter.

00:32Before we go there, I just want to get out from the get here.

00:36No one is ready for what Abdul-Carter is going to do in the NFL this year.

00:39And, you know, a ton of prospect pedigree, savage athlete, right?

00:44So we already have all the physical tools.

00:46Now, the on-the-field production, sometimes we've seen this in the past with top pass rushers.

00:49Chase Young was a top-five pick by Washington several years ago,

00:54but never really panned out as that elite pass rusher.

00:56I don't see that here with Abdul-Carter.

00:58Abdul-Carter, 35.1% pass rush win rate on passing sets last season.

01:04That was the best in the country by far.

01:07And historically, that is also very good.

01:10Better than Miles Garrett in college.

01:12Better than Max Crosby in college.

01:14Better than Micah Parsons in college.

01:16Abdul-Carter is the best pass rush prospect that the Giants have had

01:21since Jason Pierre-Paul, maybe Michael Strahan, and maybe better than all of them.

01:26I think that when you include together that defensive line.

01:30Dexter Lawrence was the number 12 rated player on all defense.

01:35Number 12 rated player by Pro Football Focus before he got injured.

01:38So that's for number one.

01:39Brian Burns was a top-15 pass rusher as well.

01:42So you have those two guys.

01:44And Kayvon Thibodeau also graded out as an above-average pass rusher.

01:47That defensive line, for all the Giants' faults, and there are many,

01:51the Giants' defensive line should be one of, if not, the best in the NFL.

01:56And Abdul-Carter should be right in the middle of all of that.

01:59And when you look at the competition at defense,

02:03you're looking at Mike Hill-Williams, Travis Hunter is probably not going to play that much defense.

02:07It's kind of it.

02:07There's only 14 defensive players drafted in the first round, and most of them were in the 20s.

02:12There's not that many blue-chip defensive players here.

02:14Abdul-Carter isn't just a blue-chip.

02:17He is generational.

02:18I'm going to throw that number for you.

02:20Nine and a half.

02:21That's the Giants' rookie sack record by, obviously, Lawrence Taylor.

02:26Over or under a nine and a half sacks for Abdul-Carter?

02:32Nine and a half's a lot.

02:34But you're talking about the third overall pick.

02:38You're talking about a guy, like you said, is better than JPP,

02:42better than Michael Stray in his rookie year.

02:45We're talking about a guy who is not inside information if I tell you that this kid is going to be a dog.

02:51You saw the video of him throwing a center out of the way already.

02:55You saw the spin move.

02:56Nine and a half over under on sacks for Abdul-Carter.

03:00Go.

03:00When I look at how many sacks, how many sacks are the Giants going to get, right?

03:05Like you have Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence.

03:07There's going to be a lot of mouths to feed on the defensive line.

03:11I would actually, I would say over, but I think it's like 10.

03:13I think 10 is a fair number.

03:14Okay.

03:15There you go.

03:15Go over.

03:17I want to see him reenact that whole Lawrence Taylor.

03:20We're going to look like a bunch of crazed dogs.

03:22Like, bro, this kid is for real.

03:23And I think he'll have, I think he'll have 12 sacks this year.

03:26I think he'll have 12.

03:27Really?

03:27Easy.

03:28Yeah, man.

03:28Really?

03:28It's going to be that good.

03:29If reports are good through Cam, I mean, you've been there.

03:31Oh, absolutely, bro.

03:32Everything you see about him is as advertised.

03:34Kid's a dog.

03:35Kid's an absolute dog.

03:37Yep.

03:37Plus 275.

03:39Hammer it.

03:39Abdul-Carter, Defensive Rookie of the Year.

03:41He's winning.

03:41There you go.

03:42Minus 1,000 by week four.

03:44There you go right there.

03:45Appreciate you, Eric.

03:45Thank you, Eric.

03:46Thank you, Eric.
