The Oregon Ducks are still celebrating Kayvon Thibodeaux’s Entry into the NFL as the fifth overall pick by the New York Giants in last week’s draft.
But before Thibodeaux’s jersey number with the G-Men has yet to be revealed, NFL draft analysts are already jumping ahead of next spring’s draft.
The NFL Draft follows the prime moment for the “way too early” mock drafts to take over our news feeds. Many analysts believe Oregon will be celebrating another first-round pick in next year’s draft-linebacker Noah SewellGeneral Chat Chat Lounge

“Ever since Luke Kuechly’s retirement, the Panthers have been a true impact player at the second level of their defense. Sewell is big, athletic, and has all the potential to be a top-10 pick.”
ESPN’s Todd McShay – 15th Overall by the New England Patriots
“The brother of 2021 first-rounder Penei Sewell, Noah Sewell can impact multiple areas of the game. The 6-foot-3, 251-pound linebacker had 110 tackles, four sacks and six pass breakups last season. And the Patriots are still looking for a leader in the middle of their defense. “
