There is no consensus top edge-rusher in the 2022 NFL Draft. Some teams will love Aidan Hutchinson. Others will be enamored with the perceived potential of Kayvon Thibodeaux. Don’t be surprised if we get a late riser like Purdue’s George Karlaftis, Michigan’s David Ojabo, Penn State’s Arnold Ebiketie, or San Diego State’s Cameron Thomas either.
In this mock, Thibodeaux sinks slightly because he’s not super polished. He won around the corner at Oregon mostly due to his supreme physical gifts and length.
If he falls to the Falcons at No. 8, let’s see how that impacts the rest of the first round.
