For the third year in a row, an Oregon Duck has been selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. With the fifth pick during Thursday's opening round from Las Vegas, the have selected pa s-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.Thibodeaux finds himself heading to New York after an impre sive career at Oregon where he routinely flashed his first-round potential. He quickly established himself as a force in the Ducks' front seven, earning Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year honors in 2019 and continued to Austin Corbett Jersey ascended over his final two collegiate seasons as he was named first-team All-Pac-12 in 2020 and 2021. In 10 games played last season, Thibodeaux totaled 49 total tackles, had 12 tackles for a lo s and seven sacks, which helped him become the first defensive player in program history to be named a unanimous All-American.He now joins a Giants front seven Chad Thomas Jersey that was in desperate need of adding someone that can get after the quarterback. New York was in the bottom of the league in pre sures last season and and only pre sured the quarterback on 20.1% of dropbacks (third-worst in the NFL).Pete Prisco: He is the best pure pa s-rusher in this draft. He has the explosive ability the Giants badly need. The question with him now is his character. Does he love the game? But I think he will get past any of that talk and become a dominant edge player. I Greg Joseph Jersey love this pick.Rating: 92.8 (All-Pro) Pro Comparison: Strengths:Explosive, twitchy, powerfully built with strong hands and a quick first step. He explodes off the snap and if he gets a half-step on offensive tackle it's over. Quickly gets into body of offensive tackle and then uses speed-to-power -- plus hand usage -- to consistently create problems on the edge. Can flip his hips like a cornerback, open up and drop into coverage, then has the athleticism and leaping Odell Beckham Jr. Jersey ability to clog throwing lanes on short and intermediate routes. Nonstop motor and freakish strength that can wear out offensive tackles.Weakne ses:Occasionally gives Olivier Vernon Jersey up the edge in run support, and can sometimes play outside of responsibilities while trying to make splash plays. Sometimes disappears for stretches -- he doesn't lose off the line of scrimmage but he could be more consistently dominant at times. That said, there's a lot to love about his game. Accolades:2021: Unanimous All-America (7.0 sacks, 12.0 TFL in 10 games)Career: 19.0 sacks, 35.5 TFL in 31 games
