Last year, the New York Giants passed on Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons in the first round the NFL draft, opting to trade back from No. 11 to No. 20 to gain more draft capital.
Parsons, naturally, went on to win the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award for the rival Dallas Cowboys and will be a thorn the Giants’ side for years to come.
This year, armed with two early first rounders, one which came as a result from that trade, the Giants decided it was time to add a defensive stud of their own in Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
