After being the #1 overall recruit in the high school Class of 2019, Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux has long been considered a top pick in the 2022 NFL Draft after 3 years with the Ducks. Lately his draft stock has fallen, from a consensus top-2 pick to now, where mock drafts have him going in the 7-10 range in the first round. What does Mel Kiper Jr. think?

Spencer had the chance to briefly talk to Kiper, who's covered the NFL Draft for almost 40 years, about why Thibodeaux's stock has taken a dip in recent months. Despite some off-field drama and media reports about his commitment to football, Mel Kiper Jr. sees some on-field areas where he needs to improve that make him a bit riskier as a top draft pick. There's a one landing spot he likes for the former 5-star standout for the Ducks, and says which former Duck will be next off the board after Thibodeaux.

Oregon Football, Men's Basketball, and Women's Basketball all had high hopes coming into the 2021-22 sports season, yet despite some exciting moments and stretches, all 3 came up short in postseason play. What should Duck fans takeaway from a year where each team came up quite short of its goals this season?
