This is version 2.0 of my mock draft. To see version 1.0, click here.
We have experienced arguably the wildest NFL offseason in recent memory. We still have the 2022 draft which starts tomorrow and many more months of free agency before the start of next season. Let’s take a look at every team’s biggest needs and predict which player each team will pick, based on either positional needs or the best player available.
1st overall: Jaguars select: Travon Walker, DL, Georgia
2nd overall: Lions select: Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon
3rd overall: Texans select: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama
4th overall: Jets select: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan
5th overall: Giants select: Ickey Ekonwu, OT, N.C. State
6th overall: Panthers select: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty
7th overall: Giants select Jermaine Johnson II, EDGE, Florida State
8th overall: Falcons select: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama
9th overall: Seahawks select: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pitt
10th overall: Jets select: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
11th overall: Commanders select: Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, CB, Cincinnati
12th overall: Vikings select: Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU
13th overall: Texans select: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame
14th overall: Ravens select: Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
15th overall: Eagles (via Dolphins) select: Drake London, WR, USC
16th overall: Saints (via Eagles) select: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
17th overall: Packers (via Chargers) select: Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State
18th overall: Eagles (via Saints) select: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington
19th overall: Saints select: Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa
20th overall: 49ers (via Steelers) select: Andrew Booth, CB, Clemson
21st overall: Patriots select: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
22nd overall: Chargers (via Packers) select: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
23rd overall: Colts (via Cardinals) select: David Ojabo, Edge, Ohio State
24th overall: Cowboys select: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
25th overall: Bills select: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
26th overall: Titans select: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
27th overall: Raiders (via Bucs): Devontae Wyatt, DT, Georgia
28th overall: Packers select: George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue
29th overall: Chiefs select: Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan
30th overall: Browns (via Chiefs) select: Logan Hall, EDGE, Houston
31st overall: Bengals select: Daxton Hill, CB, Michigan
32nd overall: Lions (via Rams) select: Desmond Ridder, CB, Cincinnati
This is an extremely talented group of players, especially at OL, DL, EDGE, WR, and LB who will surely help to improve the team they were chosen by. There is a lot of hype surrounding many of these players and there will be a lot of movement to ensure all teams get players they want and that fill their needs. We most certainly will see more trades than I've projected on draft night, but between who is yet to be determined. Most of the players in this draft class - at least in those projected to go in the first two rounds - have a ton of potential and I'm sure most teams will not regret picking them.
