The first round of the 2022 NFL draft has come and gone, and four players from the Pac-12 now have new homes.
Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux and USC’s Drake London were the most notable Pac-12 stars heading into Thursday’s first round, and so it is no surprise they were both off the board within the first top ten picks.
Thibodeaux of course went fifth overall to the New York Giants, while London went three picks later to the Atlanta Falcons – giving new quarterback Marcus Mariota an explosive target out of the slot.
The Pac-12 may not have the star power that the SEC or Big 12 does – heck Dan Lanning’s old team, the Georgia Bulldogs, had five first rounders – but they still produced a group of quality NFL players this season, with plenty more to be selected in the coming days.
Here is a look at all four of the Pac-12’s first round selections, with a brief explanation of how they should fit in to their new NFL homes:
