NY Giants Draft Target: Kayvon Thibodeaux fills a long-term need for NY Giants
The addition of Thibodeaux would give the Giants something that they have been looking for for a long time. An elite-edge talent that can help lead their defense for the foreseeable future.
Thibodeaux can come in from day one and be effective and will be an instant upgrade over what the Giants defense had last season. The addition will also give the Giants one of the league’s best young edge duos by pairing Thibodeaux with second-year defender Azeez Ojulari.
Ojulari exploded onto the scene last season, shocking many by racking up 51 total tackles, 10 sacks, and 42 total pressures. With another off-season under his belt, Ojulari could be even better next season. Adding a player of Thibodeaux’s caliber could help him take his game to a new level.
By creating this duo, the Giants will solidify their edge position for years to come. Locking down these spots will allow for the rest of the defense to do their jobs in a way that they haven’t in the past. These two players will constantly deliver pressure and disrupt opposing offenses.
Given that Thibodeaux is on the board when the Giants pick at either spots five or seven, he should be the pick. He will step in from day one and be a force to be reckoned with. Given time, he could develop into one of the best edge defenders in the entire NFL.
