Dan and Nick dive into the draft profile of Wisconsin LB Leo Chenal. Dan waxes poetic, as expected, but also offers up some interesting ways he can immediately impact the Giants defense as both a run defender (solving issues that have plagued the run defense since 2020) and as a pass rusher in Wink Martindale's defense. Chenal is a cookie-cutter fit for Martindale's system, but he also has issues moving laterally in pass coverage and plays a position that is not coveted in the draft. Is that enough to make him an option at No. 36 overall? A target? Dan and Nick break down that and more.
