Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell doesn’t seem to be a fan of Oregon Ducks superstar Kavonne Tipodox.
While the Detroit Lions are expected to shine in second place overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, it would be shocking if Oregon star Kayvon Tebodeau was the second off the board, with Lions coach Dan Campbell reportedly not a player. like him.
In Albert Breer’s dummy draft for MMQB, the insider from Sports Illustrated in the NFL discusses what Detroit will and won’t do, with its pick of No. 2. The expectation is that the Lions will go with the edge rushing. If former Michigan star Aidan Hutchinson doesn’t go to number one for the Jacksonville Jaguars, it will be Detroit’s pick. If he goes to number one, Travon Walker out of Georgia will probably be second.
Interestingly, Breyer reports that Campbell is not a fan of Thibodeau with an NFL executive saying his “character is a lot” and not well-suited to the culture Campbell is trying to build with Lions.
NFL Rumors: Lions HC Dan Campbell is not a fan of Kayvon Thibodeaux
There are reasons why Thibodeaux went from the top three locksmiths in the NFL draft process to a man with the potential to drop out of the top ten. His personality traits and his weakest playing in the Power Five conference didn’t help him. What’s more, players like Hutchinson had better college seasons last year. Others like Walker have fine physical traits and have great NFL kits.
So even if Campbell is far from the Thibodeaux scent, it shouldn’t really be difficult to pick a second-place player. If the lions covet the pass, they draft Hutchinson or Walker. If they want a defensive linebacker, they can get a little bit closer to Sauce Gardner’s 2. If they choose to get to a quarterback, they can take Liberty’s Malik Willis off their next face of the franchise.
While Detroit won’t screw this up, the question remains how far Thibodeaux will fall. Brier put the New York Giants in seventh place in their second two picks in the first round. Gee guys are in dire need of talent. If Michael Strahan is next, the Giants have won the draft. The Atlanta Falcons could be playing eighth if they choose the best defensive player available.
There are only a few players Detroit could take in second, and it wouldn’t be Tibodo.
