I saw somewhere Thibodeaux from Giants might be had for a third rounder. I can see them trading him, but a third might be less than they want. Potentially interesting option though if there is any truth to it.
What’s bizarre is to use a draft from another year to say someone was under or over drafted. The question is where he was rated in this years draft. Maybe he would have been the top pick in 1987, so he’s a total steal this year hurp durp
While I do have some doubts, he has fantastic hands, something we surely need. Also seems like a great young man. I will lean in on Tukafans analysis and hope it all comes to fruition. In our spot, this was not a reach, an edge would have been.
Our run defense would definitely take another step with Mykel, but I’m not sure he’ll do much in the way of rushing the passer. But it is him, hopefully it’s both.
I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
If we aren’t sold on anyone at 8, this would be a good trade imo. We would get a really good player at 46. This is an unusual draft with a lot of really good players from 10-50.
His arm length and wingspan negates any concerns about his height. He is around 250 lbs, pretty much the same as Watt and other elite 3-4 rushers, so that is also not a major concern. Honestly, I don’t really see why he isn’t ranked higher overall. I’m a big fan.
