It is 2022 Mock Draft time! The 2022 NFL Draft is a long ways away and plenty will change before we get to the end of April and the draft kicks off. That being said, it is good to look at how players could fit with teams and especially how the positions could stack on the board if all eligible players come out.

2023 7-Round Mock Draft (August 23rd)
2024 3-Round Mock Draft (August 23rd)
Round 1
| Pick | Team | Player | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Houston Texans | Spencer Rattler QB/Oklahoma | Rattler isn't a perfect prospect at this point, but he has the physical tools to be a franchise QB in the NFL. There is a good chance he develops a bit more in terms of pocket awareness, reading defenses, and going through his progressions. If so, the sky is the limit. Assuming Deshaun Watson is off the Texans and they have the #1 overall, Rattler is the pick. Taking Davis Mills in the 3rd round this past year won't stop that. |
| 2 | Detroit Lions | Sam Howell QB/North Carolina | Howell is not necessarily locked in as a top ten NFL Draft pick. Yes, he has the production from Year 1 and some big games, but there still seems to be some trepidation about him in NFL circles. His physical tools aren't eye popping and he is prone to making bad decisions. He could go #2 overall or fall down to the mid-late first round when all is said and done. But, if no other QB emerges as a first round option, he should be propped up enough to be highly considered by QB needy teams like the Lions. |
| 3 | Cincinnati Bengals | Kayvon Thibodeaux EDGE/Oregon | Thibodeaux is the best player in the 2022 class and it may not even be close. An elite pass rusher from the time he stepped onto a college field, Thibodeaux is a Myles Garrett type of gamechanger who has to be accounted or on every play. An Edge rusher isn't the Bengals biggest need, but it is tough to pass on a player of Thibodeaux's caliber no matter the team. Similar to Washington taking Chase Young a few years ago, this is a best player available pick. |
| 4 | New York Jets | Derek Stingley Jr. CB/LSU | Stingley is the next in a long line of LSU defensive backs who will make an NFL impact. His freshman year was phenominal, helping the Tigers win a National Title. While last season had some ups and downs, the size, speed, and overall physical talents are there for a lockdown NFL corner. The Jets have some tenacious workers at CB, but no one on Stingley's level. If Thibodeaux is gone, Stingley is the premiere pick. |
| 5 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Kyle Hamilton S/Notre Dame | It is rare for a safety to go in the Top 5 (2010's Eric Berry was the last,) but Hamilton has the skillset to be the first in over a decade. Massive size with smooth sideline to sideline ability allows him to be multifaceted against the run and the pass. He could easily become the QB of the defense for Jacksonville. |
| 6 | Philadelphia Eagles | Evan Neal OT/Alabama | Neal is a freak of nature who moves fluidly for being 6-7, 360 pounds. He is the anchor for the Alabama offensive line and can win with finnesse or brutal force. Even elite defensive talents have struggled with how to approach him since he shows very few weaknesses and can still get pretty low for his size. The Eagles picking an OT will depend on how both Andre Dillard and Lane Johnson do this season, but Neal is a tough player to pass up here. |
| 7 | Atlanta Falcons | Drake Jackson EDGE/Southern Cal | Jackson is a pass rusher first and foremost. He has played with his hand down and stand up at LB, so he will be able to fit a multitude of defenses. The fluidity of his hips and explosiveness he can turn to quickly make him formidable off the edge. The Falcons have searched for that true pass rusher for awhile now, and Jackson would fit the bill. |
| 8 | Las Vegas Raiders | Christian Harris LB/Alabama | A WR and Safety in high school, Harris made a pretty flawless transition to LB to start for one of the best defenses in college football. Though he plays mainly on the weakside, Harris' ability to diagnose and fill gaps to stop the run show those old Safety days. He also has solid coverage skills utilizing his raw athleticism. Harris makes mental errors more than most Top 10 picks, but the potential is there for him to soar to new heights this season. If he does, he is the type of Raider player who could come in and really remake the defense. |
| 9 | New York Giants | Kaiir Elam CB/Florida | Elam continues the line of big, athletic Florida CBs. His father, Abram Elam, had a seven year NFL career while his uncle, Matt Elam, was a former first round pick. At 6'2 and pushing 200 pounds, Elam can get physical at the line and make sure receivers get off on timing routes. Add pretty fluid hips to rotate into any route, and Elam has the makings of an NFL starter. The Giants aren't devoid of CB talent, but adding a potential elite option could go a long way. |
| 10 | Carolina Panthers | Demarvin Leal DL/Texas A&M | Leal is one of college football's most entertaining players to watch. His high motor and slippery movement on the defensive line makes him a nightmare to block. His penetration ability not only when pass rushing but also while filling run gaps is on another level. He may not have the girth, but he has the ability. Pairing him with Derrick Brown in Carolina would be a dream interior defense scenario to clean up many problems. |
| 11 | New York Giants (f/ CHI) | Rasheed Waker OT/Penn State | Walker hits that big mover threshold teams really want in franchise OTs. He punches down well while rarely being caught offbalance. He got more comfortable last season as time went on and was even hitting the second level on run blocks. Walker's pass blockinf and kickslide will need improvement to be a Top 15 pick, but the potential is there. If Matt Peart doesn't show health and development, Walker as a bookend with Andrew Thomas would be excellent for the Giants' future. |
| 12 | Arizona Cardinals | Zach Harrison EDGE/Ohio State | Harrison hasn't been a starter at Ohio State much, but he has made a pass rushing impact while on the field. A big time recruit sitting behind current NFL players, Harrison will have his chance to shine. His arm length gives him space to work while he has the first step will make him difficult to stop. The potential is there to be elite, and if Chandler Jones is gone from the Cardinals, a pass rusher will be a top priority. |
| 13 | Washington Football Team | Treylon Burks WR/Arkansas | Burks isn't a household name yet, but his size and athletic ability at 6'3 225 is unmatched in college football. A pinpointer of the football who is elite when catches are contested, Burks has the traits and experience against big time corners to be a high NFL Draft pick. After a pretty consistent season where he went toe to toe with CBs like Derek Stingley and Tyrique Stevenson, Burks showed he has WR1 ability. Washington could pair him with Terry McLaurin for a really scary combo on that offense. |
| 14 | Minnesota Vikings | Brenton Cox Jr. EDGE/Florida | Cox is another edge rusher with versatility to line up as a LB or DE and make an impact. A bull when rushing the passer, Cox can overwhelm offensive linemen to gain pressures and change the trajectories of plays. He also has a knack for leaping at the line and getting a hand on passes. A foot injury this year may hurt his draft stock, but if Cox has a good medical and great second half season, top 15 is in reach. The Vikings can certainly use an elite pass rusher if their '21 crop doesn't work out, and Cox's versatility makes him perfect for the defense. |
| 15 | Pittsburgh Steelers | Ahmad Gardner CB/Cincinnati | Gardner (nicknamed "Sauce") has been an elite playmaker since he started playing at Cincinnati. A tall, rangy CB, Gardner has a tendency to get in good position to make plays on the football. Though he may not an elite athlete, the physicality and technique is what allows Gardner to be a top CB in the draft. The Steelers will need to restock their CBs and find a true starting option for the future, so Gardner fits that Steelers mentality. |
| 16 | Denver Broncos | Thayer Munford OT/Ohio State | Munford is a wiley veteran on the Ohio State offensive line having started 33 games before his senior season. He has the size and push to be a physical run blocker while his experience allows him to adjust to numerous types of rushers. It is rare for Munford to make a big mistake and often will be able to recover when beat. The Broncos OT situation is tenuous for the longterm, and Munford can be a LT or RT to fill a need. |
| 17 | Los Angeles Chargers | Jalen Wydermyer TE/Texas A&M | Though Kyle Pitts got a ton of hype last season, Wydermyer has some similar traits that could see him be a frist round pick. A consistent pass catching presence, Wydermyer is athletic enough to outrun LBs and big enough to punish safeties. He is excellent against zone coverage and is surehanded. The ultimate weapon who has blocking experience in an NFL type system, Wydermyer would be a great fit on the Chargers to give Justin Herbert a safety valve. |
| 18 | New England Patriots | Garrett Wilson WR/Ohio State | Though Chris Olave gets a lot of the love, Ohio State's Garrett Wilson may be one of the most athletic WRs in college football. His effortless movement to get separation is an underrated skill that gives him NFL ability. Wilson's hand eye coordination and range allow him to make catches from any position and he often allowed Justin Fields to put balls away from defenders knowing Wilson would make the tough catch. With Mac Jones likely taking the reins for the Patriots in 2021, a true high end WR1 would be huge for the team. |
| 19 | New Orleans Saints | David Bell WR/Purdue | Though Rondale Moore was the buzz of Purdue for years, David Bell is the bigger and more NFL ready version with two great seasons under his belt. Bell zooms off the line of scrimmage and is dangerous to stop in the open field. He also can get physical down the field with defenders as needed to make tough catches. With the uncertainty of Michael Thomas' health and status, Bell would fit perfectly for the Saints in the future. |
| 20 | Philadelphia Eagles (f/ MIA) | Christopher Hinton DL/Michigan | Hinton, the son of an all-pro NFL offensive lineman, showcased a ton of potential for the Wolverines when he finally got his shot last season. A penetrating DT who was nearly unstoppable against Rutgers last year, he seemed to be showcasing that 5-star recruit status he came into college with. He is a driving force with a strong lower body who reads the defense well. A step forward could put him in the top 20. As the Eagles rebuild, starting with the line of scrimmage may be the best approach. |
| 21 | Dallas Cowboys | Sevyn Banks CB/Ohio State | With Shaun Wade going to the NFL, Banks will finally get his shot at being the #1 CB for the Buckeyes. He forced QBs to throw away from him last season with good fundamentals and rarely getting burned by WRs. With good size and long arms, Banks can also be a playmaker. He showed up in the biggest games last season (Big Ten Title and playoff games) with consistent play. Dallas' CB depth may still be iffy at the end of 2021, so Banks could help solidify it. |
| 22 | New York Jets (f/ SEA) | Kingsley Enagbare EDGE/South Carolina | Enagbare was an unstoppable force early last season with his huge size and arms making it difficult to stop. A pass rusher with a variety of moves and ways to win, he also brings a motor that can wear down opposing linemen. With 4 sacks and 2 forced fumbles in the first five games last season, Enagbare showcased dominating potential. COVID-19 cut his season short, but the sky is the limit for Engbare to take the SEC by storm this year. The Jets pass rushers are mediocre, and Enagbare would give an immediate upgrade presence there. |
| 23 | Tennessee Titans | George Karlaftis DL/Purdue | A freshman sensation for the Boilermakers, Karlaftis had an injury plagued season as a Sophomore that didn't live up to expectations. That being said, his ability to rush the passer with brute force and great leverage is nothing to dismiss. Add in an edge setting range to force RBs out of their comfort zone, and you have a defender who can turn around a defense. This will be a big year for him to prove himself, but the first round is possible. The Titans depserately need defensive upgrades, and Karlaftis can help. |
| 24 | Indianapolis Colts | Nicholas Petit-Frere OT/Ohio State | A right tackle all last season, Petit-Frere stepped in and was one of the most consistent pass blockers in the country. He moved swiftly against edge rushers and forced defenders to areas they were uncomfortable with. Pass blocking is always first priority in the NFL, and Petit-Frere had shown he can do it. He needs to bulk up his run blocking strenth and push to get into the first round, but it is in reach. The Colts still need to replace Anthony Castonzo, and Petit-Frere's pass blocking ability would be an upgrade. |
| 25 | Cleveland Browns | Kenyon Green OG/Texas A&M | A massive run blocker who can pull and move around, Green is the ideal OG for a run first zone scheme. He is rarely caught flat footed and can open holes with some pop. It is rare that an interior lineman pops on film, but Green is tough to miss when he is creating big holes for A&M. With the Browns scheme, he could slide into RG and make the way easy for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. |
| 26 | Green Bay Packers | Chris Olave WR/Ohio State | Olave is one of the most decorated Buckeyes going into 2021 with big years the last two seasons with Justin Fields. Though he isn't the biggest WR, Olave's smooth transitions in routes allows him to find open space and separation often. He has plenty of experience as an outside receiver, and gets off the jam with his footwork. Jordan Love will need some help, and Olave could be his WR1. |
| 27 | Miami Dolphins (f/ SF) | Trent McDuffie CB/Washington | McDuffie has the makings of a full package. A top tier athlete who makes big plays, can return punts, and can tackle is very enticing. Offenses struggled to make completions against McDuffie last season, so the NFL upside was showcased. Even when McDuffie would struggle at the line, his make up speed often put him in position to make a play. If Miami's promise to Xavien Howard falls through, McDuffie could be an upside CB with starting potential. |
| 28 | Baltimore Ravens | Daxton Hill S/Michigan | A former 5-star recruit who plays like it, Hill is a down hill tackler who has the athletic ability to cover TEs and play deep. A "feeler" type safety who reads the QBs eyes and makes plays, Hill has a lot of upside to be a big part of NFL defenses. He can get too aggressive at times, but Hill goes into the year with big upside. Bringing in an Ed Reed type to the Ravens would be fun to see again. |
| 29 | Buffalo Bills | Henry To'o To'o LB/Alabama | The former Tennessee LB goes to Alabama and is immediately making an impactin camp. To'o To'o will play the MIKE role and is a super downhill tackler who gets in the backfield against the run often. He showed pass coverage promise early last year as well and will likely do more of that for the Crimson Tide. To'o To'o could even pass Christian Harris and be Bama's top defensive prospect this year. A player with his skillset would be a great addition to the Bills defense when pushing for a Super Bowl. |
| 30 | Detroit Lions (f/ LAR) | Owen Pappoe LB/Auburn | Pappoe was a bit of a forgotten man with Auburn's struggles last season. Pappoe is a versatile athlete who has good tackle fundamentals. Though he is slightly undersized, he makes up for it with tenacity and a high motor. The first round may be a bit rich right now, but improvement in pass coverage and more big plays could push him up there. He would add a ton to the Lions defensive unit if they snagged him this late. |
| 31 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Allie Green IV CB/Missouri | Green is the prototypical physical CB that NFL teams look for on the outside. His big body and physicality at the line of scrimmage shut down many receivers forcing offenses to move their focus away from his side of the field. Add good instincts and athletic talents, and you have a non-Power 5 player who could be a first round selection. If run support is an important selling point, Green will also help in that regard. Green also had his best games against his best opponents like Oklahoma State and Cincinnati. No matter where the Buccaneers are at after this upcoming season, additional CB depth is never a bad thing. |
| 32 | Kansas City Chiefs | Brandon Smith LB/Penn State | Another pick that is more of a projection, Smith is a former 5-star recruit who may be one of the best athletes in the 2022 NFL Draft. He absorbed a lot of Micah Parson's production last season moving to the weakside, giving him the freedom to rush the passer and seal the edge in the run game. Smith was used as a pass rusher often early in the 2020 season then transitioned to play the run/coverage more as things progressed. It isn't a stat producer, but the athletic testing will be off the charts. This type of weapon for the Chiefs defense would be a scary addition for sure. |
| Pick | Team | Player | Explanation |
Round 2
| Pick | Team | Player | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 33 | Houston Texans | Aidan Hutchinson EDGE/Michigan | Hutchinson is a pass rushing freak coming off of injury. Could easily go in the first round. |
| 34 | Detroit Lions | Jordan Battle S/Alabama | A rock solid back end safety is still a big need for the Lions. |
| 35 | Cincinnati Bengals | Zion Nelson OT/Miami (FL) | Nelson is a big athlete who can kick inside and hopefully help the Bengals O-line problems. 1st round potential. |
| 36 | New York Jets | Isaiah Spiller RB/Texas A&M | The first RB is a big, fast, producer who would compliment Michael Carter very well. |
| 37 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Devin Lloyd LB/Utah | Lloyd is the type of solid Day 2 LB who outperforms his draft position with smart play. Can be outside or inside. |
| 38 | Philadelphia Eagles | Andrew Booth Jr. CB/Clemson | Booth is the athletic corner for Clemson who should improve his stock. |
| 39 | Atlanta Falcons | Ventrell Miller LB/Florida | Miller would give some range and edge setting for Atlanta. |
| 40 | Las Vegas Raiders | Josh Jobe CB/Alabama | Jobe isn't as exciting as past Alabama CBs, but has the physical style the Raiders like. |
| 41 | New York Giants | Alec Lindstrom C/Boston College | Lindstrom is highly experienced and can kick to Guard if needed. |
| 42 | New York Jets (f/ CAR) | Tyler Linderbaum C/Iowa | Linderbaum would add to the athletic ability of the Jets line and help Zach Wilson |
| 43 | Chicago Bears | Justyn Ross WR/Clemson | If Ross clears his medical, he may go much higher. Ross could replace Allen Robinson if necessary. |
| 44 | Arizona Cardinals | Nick Broeker OT/Mississippi | Broeker has had two great seasons and has the movement ability needed for the Cardinals Offense. |
| 45 | Washington Football Team | Malik Willis QB/Liberty | Willis has Top 5 potential with an excellent season and would turn Washington into a top tier team. |
| 46 | Minnesota Vikings | Avery Young CB/Rutgers | Young's technique and physicality fit the Vikings and what GM Spielman likes to take early. |
| 47 | Pittsburgh Steelers | Charles Cross OT/Mississippi State | An athletic mover who would be an ideal RT fit for the Steelers to start immediately. |
| 48 | Denver Broncos | Zacch Pickens DL/South Carolina | Pickens athletic potential is off the charts, but will need the production to be a Day 2 pick. |
| 49 | Los Angeles Chargers | Drake London WR/Southern Cal | More weapons for Justin Herbert as getting this huge slot WR can be an eventual Keenan Allen replacement. |
| 50 | New England Patriots | Myron Cunningham OT/Arkansas | Cunningham has a nasty streak to give more identity to the Patriots offense. |
| 51 | New Orleans Saints | Zion Typyola-Fetui EDGE/Washington | Injuries may knock him down, but a dynamic pass rusher like ZTF is a rare commodity. |
| 52 | Miami Dolphins | Merlin Robertson LB/Arizona State | Robertson has a ton of production and experience that he can bring to the Dolphins as a rushing LB with coverage skills. |
| 53 | Dallas Cowboys | Wanya Morris OT/Oklahoma | A 5-star athlete whose upside will make the Cowboys drool. Can play all over the line. |
| 54 | Seattle Seahawks | Breece Hall RB/Iowa State | Smart RB with great balance and production, he will give a compliment to Chris Carson. |
| 55 | Atlanta Falcons (f/ TEN) | Carson Strong QB/Nevada | Strong's lack of mobility may hurt him, but his arm and tenacity is reminiscient of Matt Ryan. |
| 56 | Philadelphia Eagles (f/ IND) | Kedon Slovis QB/Southern Cal | Slovis may not have the strongest arm, but the superb ball placement makes him a great fit for the Eagles to develop. |
| 57 | Cleveland Browns | George Pickens WR/Georgia | Pickens injury and attitude may knock him down boards, but the Browns can take the risk with little needs. |
| 58 | Green Bay Packers | Ed Ingram OG/LSU | A strong pusher who could move the Packers offense in a more physical direction. |
| 59 | San Francisco 49ers | Justin Eboigbe DL/Alabama | The 49ers have had mixed success drafting the DL, but Eboigbe is a big rusher who can two-gap at times. Defensive weapon. |
| 60 | Baltimore Ravens | Jahleel Billingsley TE/Alabama | Billingsley might be more WR than TE, but the Ravens like 12 personnel, and he could pair well with Mark Andrews. |
| 61 | Buffalo Bills | Eric Gray RB/Oklahoma | Gray should go off for Oklahoma this year and give the Bills a true athletic RB to pair with Josh Allen. |
| 62 | Los Angeles Rams | Abraham Lucas OT/Washington State | Lucas might be one of the best pass blockers in the Pac-12 and his huge size screams upside. |
| 63 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Kyren Williams RB/Notre Dame | Williams is a bit more of a pass catching COP back that fits Arians scheme. Electric outside ability too. |
| 64 | Kansas City Chiefs | Kyler Gordon CB/Washington | Gordon is a big athlete with excellent closing speed. He should help the Chiefs keep big leads. |
| Pick | Team | Player | Explanation |
Round 3
| Pick | Team | Player | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 65 | Houston Texans | Cade Otton TE/Washington | Otton could finally move the Texans to having one primary TE who can play inline. |
| 66 | Detroit Lions | Nick Bonitto EDGE/Oklahoma | Bonitto can rush the passer and even drop back into coverage some. Versatile EDGE player. |
| 67 | Cincinnati Bengals | Charlie Kolar TE/Iowa State | Kolar has nice soft hands and would add help blocking for Burrow. |
| 68 | New York Jets | Tyler Davis DL/Clemson | Davis has very few weaknesses, but doesn't light up the film. A solid reserve swing back-up. |
| 69 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Austin Stogner TE/Oklahoma | Stogner is an H-Back type who can block and catch. |
| 70 | Philadelphia Eagles | Mase Funa LB/Oregon | Funa has a ton of upside but has never really put it together, this may be his year. |
| 71 | Atlanta Falcons | Zamir White RB/Georgia | "Zeus" stays close to home after a few healthy seasons showing the ability he had coming into college. |
| 72 | Las Vegas Raiders | Dohnovan West C/Arizona State | West can play Center or Guard adding a smart presence. |
| 73 | New York Giants (f/ Miami) | Cory Trice S/Purdue | Trice is overlooked right now, but a good tackler who can make big plays with good athletic ability is a Day 2 pick. |
| 74 | Carolina Panthers | Tyrique Stevenson CB/Maimi (FL) | An athletic Georgia transfer, Stevenson should be able to showcase CB1 ability for Miami. |
| 75 | Chicago Bears | Nathan Pickering DL/Mississippi State | A great run stuffer who gets low and can rush the passer too. Keeps the Bears defense top notch. |
| 76 | Arizona Cardinals | Harry Miller C/Ohio State | Miller is another versatile back-up for the interior who played on one of the best lines in college football. |
| 77 | Washington Football Team | Kolby Harvell-Peel S/Oklahoma State | Fell off a bit last season, but a technician with good size could be a nice reserve for Washington |
| 78 | Minnesota Vikings | Zion Johnson OG/Boston College | Athletic pulling guard who can maul opposing linemen. Fits the Viking mentality. |
| 79 | Pittsburgh Steelers | Bubba Bolden S/Miami (FL) | Always in the right position and can play close to the line. Good swing DB reserve. |

| 81 | Los Angeles Chargers | Tyreke Smith EDGE/Ohio State | Pass rusher who can stand up for the Chargers defense if needed. |
| 82 | New England Patriots | Xavier Thomas EDGE/Clemson | Not flashy, but gets the job done by setting the edge. Fits the Patriots. |
| 83 | New Orleans Saints | Tariq Castro-Fields CB/Penn State | Overlooked CB who has produced year after year with technique and a high football IQ. |
| 84 | New York Giants (f/ Miami) | Cade Mays OT/Tennessee | Big time recruit who hasn't put it together yet. First round potential with a big year. |
| 85 | Dallas Cowboys | Lewis Cine S/Georgia | Will have his chance to prove himself this year. Could be Top 50, could be undrafted. |

| 87 | Tennessee Titans | Doug Nester OG/West Virginia | Nester had great success at Virginia Tech and can play anywhere on the line. |
| 88 | Indianapolis Colts | Jahan Dotson WR/Penn State | Solid player who catches everything. Really solid slot ptoential. |
| 89 | Cleveland Browns | Jalen Redmond DL/Oklahoma | Mauler who is tough to move out of his gap. May not give much upside, but won't lose much. |

| 91 | Miami Dolphins (f/ SF) | Ty Fryfogle WR/Indiana | Big with great hands. Showed his upside last season and should flourish again. |
| 92 | Baltimore Ravens | Darian Kinnard OT/Kentucky | One of two big bookends for Kentucky who will excel in run blocking. |
| 93 | Buffalo Bills | Derion Kendrick CB/Clemson | Former WR with ball skills and athletic ability who has shown inconsistency. |
| 94 | Los Angeles Rams | Perrion Winfrey DL/Oklahoma | Pass rushing Lineman who can play the edge at times too. Versatile athlete. |
| 95 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Thomas Booker DL/Stanford | Booker is a tough pass rusher who could be a nice reserve. |
