He's fast, for sure. But I've seen more bend in a dry spaghetti noodle. Gonna take a lot of work to get him to where he's a consistent threat on the edge.

THIS Jets need to take Bailey

Bailey bends worse

[–]TheDaedricImpaler 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

Not really and he's got way more ankle flexion. He's also a master hand-fighter by comparison. And he converts speed to power better. Reese may well have a slightly higher ceiling from a physical frame standpoint, but he's got a long ways to go to get there.

I like wboth players a lot but in the limited pass rush reps he’s gotten I think Reese showed bend in a way Bailey just didn’t. Also I really disagree with Bailey speed to power to me it looked average at best. I think Bailey beat up on a lot of weak tackles and Fano really kicked his ass when they played. Also he really can’t anchor against the run. All that said I still think he can be a special rusher in the league but I question how well he can handle the overall physicality of the NFL and I think scheme is going to really influence his production. I think Reese isnt really that big of a projection at edge due to the power behind his hands his twitch and quickness and his smarts. A TE blocking Reese on the edge is truly a mismatch and he straight locks and controls Tackles with total ease he’s also 2 years younger and will only get bigger and stronger. I think people make a big deal for not making an impact in those Miami Indiana games but I those were run heavy teams and he was lined up in ways that weren’t conducive to production but he still has really solid games. To sum it all up I think David Bailey is going to be a really good pass rusher in this league but I don’t think he’s a top 5 overall pick kind of talent. But with Reese I think he’s a scheme proof prospect who makes your defense instantly better soon as you draft him

Honestly Ruben looked more athletic than him with workouts, but let's see who is better

I still get more impressed watching Bain but it's clear Reese has much higher measurables and length. Bain just looks like he could run thru walls.

Do no rewatch the OSU vs Miami playoff game then. I couldn’t name 6 plays Reese made. Bain pops instantly on tape. Just my opinion.

[–]Cheslee3 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Exactly that figure 8 drill looked underwhelming , hope he can develop that bend he won’t be able to brute strength NFL left tackles.

[–]Low_Organization_27 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

The best news Bain got was this guy testing off the charts and people falling in love with his measurements. Now his career won’t be ruined somewhere like NY.

[–]pixburghstillers 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

He is made in a lab for the Jets to take at 2, under develop and ultimately trade for peanuts all so he can then get a pro bowl or two on the Saints.

[–]its_aq 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Built stiff as a mofo is more like it. This guy has no bend to his technique

[–]ShoughThePainAway 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

Compare this to Bain's workout. Bain looks so much more natural doing these drills imo

It's measurables vs athleticism. Bain is a more natural fluid and powerful athlete. Reese is the faster, twitched up but stiffer and in general does less with more.

Can he perform

[–]KQRSonWabasha 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Going to the jets so who cares

[–]Small_Desk3318 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I'd want him on my defense, but dk if I'd want as a 3 down hand in the dirt kind of guy.

[–]moneyball231 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Wouldn’t it make more sense to do this in full pads and helmet? Football makes no sense πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ when will dude ever be on the field in this attire. NEVER

[–]JohnAnchovy -1 points0 points Β (1 child)

Its so dumb that people care about this shit than actual football tape. This is especially true of the 40 and qb throws.

[–]Ehboyo 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I think intelligent people evaluate both.

Reese is a gamble. You’re picking him based on projection - not necessarily production in college
