If Arvell Reese wasn't available, who would the Giants have taken?: Draft notebook

The Titans threw a curveball when they took Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth pick. That selection blew up many mock drafts, including the “zillions” of simulations conducted by the Giants.It was so unlikely that Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese would make it to the fifth pick that it seemed odd that the team even used one of its 30 pre-draft visits on the 6-foot-4, 241-pounder. Even if Reese dropped to No. 5, it seemed like that would invite a trade back by the Giants, who are deep at edge rusher. Reese said the majority of NFL teams viewed him as an outside linebacker — that aligned with what he said was his preferred position during the scouting combine in February.Advertisement
