The New York Giants just snag linebacker Arville Reese from Ohio State with the fifth overall pick in tonight's NFL draft. They had two shots in the top 10 and Reese stood out over his Buckeye teammates, safety Caleb Downs, and linebacker, Sonny Styles. Teams are buzzing about trade talks for the Giants' edge rusher, Kavon Tivado, who they took fifth back in 2022. Adding Reese opens the door to that move, especially after they grabbed edge rusher Abdul Carter third overall in 2025. Fans and analysts are hyped because Reese brings serious heat to the defense. Last season, his third year at Ohio State, he racked up 69 tackles, 10 stacks, and 6.5 tackles for loss, that earned him consensus all American honors and Big 10 linebacker of the year. This pick levels up a unit that was already tough in 2025, pairing Reese's past rush with
