My bad if that’s what my post read like. He doesn’t have a history of injuries, and this just appears to be an outlier.

Just how I took it, with an abbreviated 2020 season, thought I must have missed something. My bad, should have checked and not assumed more than you meant.
Considering the franchise made Barry & Calvin retire, Suh bolt as soon as he became a FA, and Stafford request a trade. I’m wondering if we even root for the same team. Maybe 1 of these decades you will actually be right about your defense of this shitty franchise.

The question is, who wants the #1 QB in the draft so bad they’ll sell the farm to get him. I’d much rather trade back to the 6-12 oa and get more picks in 22 and 23.
We’ll have 2 shots at a first round QB in 23.

I think the top three are Thibs, Hamilton, and Stingley.
Tankathon has us taking
1OA Thibodeaux
28 Harris LB Bama
33 Dotson WR Penn St
66 Kenny Pickett QB Pitts

Pickett is putting up some sick stats this year. But he has Donald Trump hands. 81/4”

Thibodeaux looks like he could put on about 20 pounds. Crazy speed. Looks like the fastest guy on the field.

If it is such a meh QB draft, it seems less SOL to burn the Rams pick on him and hope.
But they have to get WRs. That group is a bad, bad joke, even with Cephus

This year not sure! The best player I’ve seen is the Freshmen QB at OU Caleb Williams. The kid is sensational. He has everything you want in a qb

Hamilton. Getting a up grade in safety would be big.
I think we can get a pretty good DE in round 2.
That highlight reel of Thibodaux is insane. I know its a highlight reel and not a cut up every play, but his ceiling is obviously very high. I really wish he had played against Ohio State just to see him play a good OLine.

I am a Notre Dame fan and I absolutely love Kyle Hamilton. But if it’s a choice between he and Thibadeaux(sp?)…I’m taking that impact DE/pass rusher over the safety. Hamilton is a taller version of Ed Reed and he’s gonna be a great one. But I still have to set aside my bias and go with Thibs!

We run more of a 3-4 scheme. Does Thibodeaux play strictly DE or can he be an OLB and DE??
Obviously the best two players are Hamilton and Thibideux.
Unless we go on a late run we’ll likely price ourselves out of Hamilton, just based on the fact that I don’t think a team will spend 1OA on a safety.
But would a team spend a 3rd overall on him?
My guess would be absolutely.
Thibs presents the correct value but the catch 22 is this is a pretty dang deep year on the edge and realistically you can get a good one in round 2-4, so that begins the debate of weighing the value.
There are some damn good S options later in the draft as well. J Catalon from Arkansas, Dax Hill from UM, Brisker from PSU, Battle from Bsma and a few others that look pretty nice.
Guess you weigh the biggest payout…
Oregon star defender Kayvon Thibodeaux made waves in April when he stated he was making a change to play “more of an outside linebacker” role for the Ducks in 2021. Considering Thibodeaux’s profile as one of the nation’s best players and how successful he’s been as a defensive end (Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2019 and first-team All-Pac-12 in 2020), such a move created a stir.
On Tuesday, as Oregon prepares to kick of fall camp in a little over a week, Thibodeaux offered clarity on what his role would be in 2021.
“A lot of people have gotten that part confused," he started. "I haven’t had a position change. All I’m doing is standing up now. It’s just something that’s changed in my game. It’s made me more versatile in what I do. It’s just more to add to my resume.
