INDIANAPOLIS – Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux’s place on draft boards seems to be fluctuating daily, but he is confident that the teams picking fourth and fifth are very high on him.

The Jets and Giants formally interviewed Thibodeaux at the NFL Combine. Both teams need edge rushers. If Thibodeaux — a 6-5, 250-pound speed rusher who had 19 sacks in 30 games — is not taken in the top three, he might not get past the Jets at four or Giants at five.
