As the New York Giants patiently waited for their turn during the 2022 NFL draft, they were prepared for any scenario. Luckily, the chips fell in their favor.
The Giants ended up taking Kayvon Thibodeaux, the edge rusher out of Oregon, fifth overall. Most were thrilled with the fact that Big Blue addressed the offensive line and defensive line with their two top-10 picks.
Both Evan Neal, who the Giants drafted seventh overall, and Thibodeaux were projected to go higher than they did in a number of different mock drafts over the past year.
