This comparison has been made by numerous Giant fans and commentators who, like most of us, have a lifetime of experience viewing our Giants glass as half empty.

On the half full side, Reese played off ball linebacker more than edge in college and they have a need there. He likely won’t transition to taking more snaps at edge until Thibs is gone after next season. And the OT from Miami is going to kick inside to guard for this season. So, we will see. It will be interesting to see if the Jets chose wisely, or poorly, by taking Bailey over Reese.
