Giants Select Ohio State LB Arvell Reese Fifth Overall

The Giants selected Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese fifth overall. Reese, who will transition from inside to outside linebacker, describes himself as a defensive "chess piece." Despite the selection, teammate Malik Nabers publicly questioned the team's decision to pass on safety Caleb Downs. The Giants have confirmed they do not intend to trade Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Reese is expected to provide an immediate, significant pass-rushing presence for the defense.
