00:00Arvel Reese goes five to the New York Giants.
00:03They probably didn't think he was going to be there.
00:05I think that they would have probably taken Sonny.
00:07Maybe they could have taken someone else,
00:09potentially taken Caleb then at 10.
00:11I knew they probably wouldn't be able to go double defense
00:14with Jackson Dart and wanted to get some help
00:15for their young quarterback.
00:17But they go Arvel Reese at five.
00:20Jordan Tyson comes off the board,
00:22or Mansour Delaney comes off the board for LSU at seven.
00:26And then you ultimately have Sonny Stile,
00:29or sixth, and Sonny Stiles at seven.
00:31So two linebackers, both from Ohio State,
00:35going to the top 10,
00:36first time that's ever happened in draft history.
00:38And then as well, Bill, this is important.
00:4020 years ago, you had a pair of linebackers
00:43going to the first round from Ohio State.
00:45They were both from the state of Ohio.
00:47And this was kind of a foregone conclusion.
00:49They'd both be first rounders.
00:51Ted Ginn and Anthony Gonzalez did it.
00:53Two guys, same position, same school,
00:55and same state growing up.
00:57I thought that the state of Ohio, very impressive.
00:59And just the impact of that, the developed here,
01:03but also grown here as well, I think is pretty awesome.
01:07Oh, for sure.
01:08And, you know, that's very important to the program
01:10because we've talked about at length
01:11when you have guys from Ohio, Arvel, you know,
01:16obviously Glenville, that's a powerhouse we know about.
01:19I mean, and that's been going on
01:21since Ted Ginn was playing, right?
01:22And they've just had a run of great players.
01:25And then obviously Sonny, you know, I live here in Pickerington
01:30and then they're going to have another player drafted
01:32here in a couple of days when his brother's drafted.
01:34And just an incredible run of success
01:37for Pickerington Central.
01:39And then next year, they're going to have another guy
01:40that those guys played with in high school
01:42in Rasheem Biles at Texas drafted.
01:44So it is very important to have Ohio State guys
01:48from Ohio have those moments.
01:50And I think, you know, obviously the Giants,
01:54Arvel kind of fell into their lap a little bit.
01:56That's a perfect John Harbaugh pick
01:58because the Jets make their pick.
02:00And I didn't like, okay, if you're going to take David Bailey,
02:03if you want to go by the production, yeah, that's not,
02:06I mean, it was an either or pick for them.
02:08But the Giants, instead of taking who I thought,
02:11you know, we were talking about Jeremiah Love,
02:13Caleb Downs being that combination for them.
02:15Instead, they get Arvel Reese and Francis Malgoa,
02:20two guys that were just, I was like, man,
02:22that's like the stuff the Ravens used to do,
02:24where they get a solid tackle like Francis Cece,
02:27who that's what they call him,
02:29he allowed two sacks last season.
02:31Then you get Arvel, and just putting him with John Harbaugh
02:34and a John Harbaugh scheme on defense,
02:36you know that he's going to produce there.
02:38So, and then Sonny goes to the commanders,
02:41kind of had that mocked out that way anyway.
02:43I mean, he'll be phenomenal in that defense.
02:45So, it's a great moment for the Buckeyes.
02:47Great, I thought they were going to get four in the top 10.
02:49That's okay that they didn't.
02:50They get four in the top 11.
02:52It's close enough.
02:53Now, the question everyone wants to know, Bill,
02:55which duo are you going to choose?
02:57Are you choosing Hawking Carpenter or Stiles Reese?
03:00That's what I want to know.
03:01You know what?
03:02The worst part of last night's deal was I had an article ready
03:06because I feel bad for Caden McDonald,
03:08who was left in the green room.
03:09He'll be scooped up right away.
03:11And I looked at every – Bobby will appreciate this.
03:13I looked at every draft class that had five first-round picks or more.
03:18So, I had that class with Bobby.
03:20And let me see – make sure I can get them all right.
03:22Bobby, A.J., Dante Wittner.
03:26Bobby, you want to help me finish the last two guys?
03:31And then Pittsburgh took Santonio Holmes.
03:34So, between those five guys, I mean, you know,
03:38it was one of the best draft classes ever.
03:41Let me know.
03:41Bye.
