Although the nozzles were reported to have gone through a productive visit with Kayvon Thibodeauxit looks like they won’t draft the Oregon-developed pass-rusher if he’s #4 on the board. Questions about Thibodeaux’s suitability for the Reconstruction Team culture have led most to expect GM Joe Douglas to pass, notes Brian Costello of the New York Post. Thibodeaux is possibly the most talked about player of this draft, given his talent coupled with the attitude and efforts that marred him while preparing the draft. The Jets were recently linked to Florida State’s edge rusher Jermaine Johnson, a player believed to prefer Thibodeaux, although the latter is ranked higher by most experts. Johnson has caused a stir to become a top-10 pick, which would put the Jets ahead of a No. 4 decision. The Georgia transfer may not be available if the Jets pick again at No. 4 (assuming they don’t trade for a wide receiver). 10
On the eve of the draft, here’s the latest headline for the 2022 event:
- Another player on the top 5 radar, Evan Neal It is not assumed that each team received a clean bill of health. Hip and knee problems have halted some teams, notes SI.com’s Albert Breer. This could cause the Alabama product to fall behind other high-end tackle prospects depending on where the teams are in the top 10 here Ikem Ekwonu and charles cross. Neal’s camp has pushed that back, and Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio adds that the high-profile prospect has not been asked to return to Indianapolis for the Combine’s re-medical review. Neal didn’t miss a game last season.
- Jerry Jones recently said he was ready to trade up from No. 24. How far up? That cowboys could be ready to part with notable draft capital, with NFL.com’s Jane Slater pointing to Cross, Northern Iowa Trevor Penning and USC wide receivers DrakeLondon are names to watch for Dallas promotion. Cross and London have often been mentioned as top 10 picks, while Penning also has his share of fans. Based on the goals listed here, the Cowboys would likely have to make a strong offer. It would be pretty costly for the Cowboys to get in or near the top 10, but they’ve been eyeing O-Linemen. Dallas has one pick each in the second and third rounds.
- Teams have turned to the on the subject of relocations, a topic often raised in the days leading up to a draft Giants about No. 7 overall, ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler tweets. That Seahawks are one of them who has shown interest in going from 9 to 7. Seattle often traded down in Round 1 John Schneideralthough the team hasn’t enjoyed since Schneider and Top 10 Real Estate Peter Caroll‘s first collaborative draft (2010). With needs in multiple spots, the Giants were tricked into using their No. 5 pick and trading down from 7.
- texan GM Nick Caserio said on Wednesday there is a 99% chance his team will stay in 3rd and make a pick, but the team is more open to a move at 13 – the pick received via the Deshaun Watson act. The sophomore GM has spoken to at least six teams about picking the number 13, according to Jim Trotter of NFL.com (Twitter). shortcut). Many teams see first-round trades as more likely after the top 10, Fowler adds.
