2022 NFL Mock Draft

 1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Aidan Hutchinson, DE

The Jaguars need so many improvements that it's really just a matter of picking the best player on the board. Hutchinson doesn't feel as surefire as Myles Garrett or the Bosa brothers, but he looks like a wrecking machine. He would pair well with Josh Allen to give Jacksonville a young 1-2 punch.

​

2. Detroit Lions: Travon Walker, DL

Walker has become the hottest prospect in this class. The tools are there, but the performance was only moderate at Georgia. He doesn't have the strength of Hutchinson or the speed of Kayvon Thibodeaux, so the sudden fascination is confusing. All that being said, this a pick based on potential. Detroit can ease him in, let him develop behind Michael Brockers and Charles Harris, and potentially have a future Pro Bowler.

​

3. Houston Texans: Evan Neal, OL

Houston may have the most shallow roster in the league heading into the draft. They need everything, and just like the Jaguars, they should draft the best player available. Houston invested a lot in current tackles Tytus Howard and Laremy Tunsil, but they may not be long for life in Houston (see Tunsil's huge contract). Neal is the definition of a mauler and can start immediately.

​

4. New York Jets: Ikem Ekwonu, OL

The Jets draft needs to be predicated on making life easier for Zach Wilson. They drafted Mekhi Becton and Alijah Vera-Tucker in the last two years, but Ekwonu would still be a massive asset. Becton holds down the backside, Vera-Tucker fits best as a guard and Ekwonu would slide right in as the starting right tackle in a matter of weeks.

​

5. New York Giants: Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE

And now​ for the most divisive player in this class. When he's on, Thibodeaux is unstoppable. He is as fast off the edge as any player in college football. The scuttlebutt, however, is how much is he on versus off; he missed a decent chunk of time at Oregon. The flashes of greatness are there and the temptation will be too strong for too many teams to pass up. He has Von Miller-esque upside.

​

6. Carolina Panthers: Matt Corral, QB

Perhaps the first stunner of a pick in this mock, Corral is a wild card. He seems to have slipped a bit as the big day nears, but his film is as impressive as any QB in this class. Carolina is better than people think, but they need to figure out the quarterback spot. If Corral comes out firing as a rookie the Panthers could feast on a weak NFC South.

​

7. New York Giants: Charles Cross, OL

The Giant have three big needs in this class--edge rusher, offensive lineman and safety. After snagging Thibodeaux to fill one of those voids, New York has the enviable choice of Charles Cross or Kyle Hamilton. Linemen tend to be safer bets than defensive backs, and that logic is in effect here. Cross could work opposite of Andrew Thomas and become the right tackle of the future.

​

8. Atlanta Falcons: Kyle Hamilton, S

Atlanta is the benefactor of New York's choice and they get the best defensive player on the board. It's the cliche about the Falcons every year, but they really just need defensive studs. They made some solid investments in the offseason to help stalwart Grady Jarrett, but safety is still a glaring need. Hamilton to Atlanta is a match made in football heaven.

​

9. Seattle Seahawks: Malik Willis, QB

Seattle needs so much to get back to the L.O.B. glory days. Outside of receiver they could justifiably upgrade every position group. Seattle is a prime candidate to trade back, but with no trades in this mock, the Seahawks stay put and select the most tantalizing QB prospect available. Willis is an electric performer who feels like he's just scratching the surface of his talent.

​

10. New York Jets: Drake London, WR

Now that the Jets protected Zach Wilson, they can start assembling some weapons for him. London is massive for a wideout and his jump-ball abilities are great for a gunslinger like Wilson; just get the ball in his vicinity and London has a shot at pulling it in. The Jets' top receiver position is open for the taking.

​

11. Washington Commanders: Ahmad Gardner, CB

"Sauce" has become one of the trendy late climbers in this class. He was a top-20 prospect all season long, but since the draft process kicked into high gear, he and Travon Walker have become the darlings of the draft. He's got all the talent in the world and feels like the kind of workmanlike defender Ron Rivera would love to work with.

​

12. Minnesota Vikings: George Karlaftis, DE

Minnesota needs a youth movement along the defensive front. With the likes of Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen and Anthony Barr on their way out of town or long in the tooth, the Vikings need to reinvigorate their pass rush. Karlaftis shows more size and power than many of his elite peers in this class, but he's still a premier athlete with raw talent that needs to be refined.

​

13. Houston Texans: Derek Stingley, Jr., CB

Stingley, Jr. has become the great enigma of this class. The common parlance is the "2019 Stingley" vs. "the Stingley of the 2020s." He was a stud freshman during LSU's national title run, but his performance dipped since. So, which Derek Stingley, Jr. will show up in the NFL? We're going to be optimistic and hope the uber-athletic shutdown star returns and the Houston Texans get their Trevon Diggs.

​

14. Baltimore Ravens: Tyler Linderbaum, OL

Questions abound regarding drafting an interior offensive linemen this high, but look how well it worked out for the Cowboys with Zack Martin or the Colts with Quenton Nelson. It's not crazy to think Linderbaum can be that good. He is most likely a center in the NFL, but he can be a star at guard, too. The Ravens would benefit from a new starter at either position.

​

15. Philadelphia Eagles: Kenyon Green, OL

Kenyon Green may be the most versatile of the first-round linemen; he was primarily a tackle in college but the experts like his potential as a guard, too. The Eagles line feels like it is in transition, and Green would the be kind of Swiss Army Knife to solve any woes. 

​

16. New Orleans Saints: Jameson Williams, WR

Had he not torn his ACL in the national championship, Williams would be a shoe-in for top receiver taken. All accounts point to his recovery going well and him returning to form. He looks like such a natural, effortless player, with tremendous speed for the icing on the cake. New Orleans is in unfamiliar territory, as the longtime offensive juggernaut is now desperate for firepower.

​

17. Los Angeles Chargers: Jordan Davis, DT

This is wishful thinking if ever there was any in a mock draft. The Chargers run defense was historically bad in 2021, and despite adding Khalil Mack, they still need some power in the middle. Enter Jordan Davis. Davis is a behemoth at 6'6" and 340 pounds. He would be a massive space-eater to occupy offensive linemen and let his teammates flow.

​

18. Philadelphia Eagles: Garrett Wilson, WR

The consensus is that Wilson is the best receiver prospect in this class, but for our estimation, he's a little further down the board. He may be lightning quick and speedy, but does he have the physicality to compete against elite safeties and corners? He reminds us of Tyler Lockett, which is definitely good news for the Eagles. Wilson and DeVonta Smith would be a dynamic, young combination.

​

19. New Orleans Saints: Nakobe Dean, LB

New Orleans has been one of the best drafting teams in the last decade, making smart picks all over the roster. Nakobe Dean is a cerebral playmaker, the classic, "playing chess while everyone plays checkers" guy. Demario Davis feels like the perfect mentor for Dean, who could lead this Saints defense in just a few years.

​

20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Trevor Penning, OL

How badly do the Steelers covet these quarterbacks? Strange as it may sound, the Mitch Trubisky experiment looks to be getting an honest effort in 2022. What's next on Pittsburgh's priority list? Bolstering the offensive line. They completely restructured the unit in 2021, but it was far from infallible. Penning is raw and needs to take major steps, but analysts are salivating at the potential.

​

21. New England Patriots: Devin Lloyd, LB

The Patriots said goodbye to Jamie Collins, Kyle Van Noy and Dont'a Hightower this offseason. Those are long-term "Bill Belichick Guys" and pivotal pieces of the linebacking corps. Devin Lloyd can do everything at linebacker--knock somebody's head off, drop back into coverage and be the brains of the defense.

​

22. Green Bay Packers: Treylon Burks, WR

We've all made plenty of jokes about the Packers' reticence to draft a wide receiver to help Aaron Rodgers, but 2022 is the year that finally changes. Davante Adams and Equanimeous St. Brown are both gone, and the clock is ticking on Rodgers' elite years. Treylon Burks has every tool to be a star in this league. Big, rugged, great hands and a playmaker--put this man on the outside and make some magic.

​

23. Arizona Cardinals: Jermaine Johnson II, DE

Johnson is another guy catapulting up boards as the draft nears, but for us he feels like a less polished Kayvon Thibodeaux right now. That's not to say he won't ever reach Pro Bowl-caliber, which is why Arizona would be elated to see him sitting there. Chandler Jones is gone and J.J. Watt is old. Johnson could develop alongside a nice young crew with Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons.

​

24. Dallas Cowboys: Trent McDuffie, CB

Most of the Cowboys talk is centered around rebuilding both sides of the line, but Jerry Jones is a fan of flash. They are well-stocked in that department on offense, but imagine the fireworks if McDuffie lines up across from Trevon Diggs. With those two starting cornerbacks the Cowboys would be a menace for any QB.

​

25. Buffalo Bills: Andrew Booth, Jr., CB

The cornerback conversation has stratified into Derek Stingley, Jr. and Ahmad Gardner at the top, then McDuffie and Booth, Jr. in tier two. With those first three gone, Buffalo has an easy choice. The Clemson alums greatest strength is his physical play and tenacity--doesn't that sound like the quintessential Bills player?

​

26. Tennessee Titans: Devonte Wyatt, DT

Tennessee has quietly built a solid defense, especially on the backend and edges. However, they still some meat in the middle to help Jeffery Simmons. Devonte Wyatt is another 300+ pounder from Georgia, and while not as big as his college teammate Jordan Davis, he is more nimble. His skill set would go a long way toward pushing the Titans to the top of the AFC.

​

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: David Ojabo, DE

Tampa was set to fall apart after Brady's retirement, but his return seemingly convinced a few big names to stay and limit Tampa to minimal attrition. They need a replacement for Ali Marpet at guard, but the defensive line is now sans Ndamukong Suh, Steve McLendon and Jason Pierre-Paul. Ojabo's Achilles injury is devastating, but Tampa has enough depth that he can be eased into the rotation.

​

28. Green Bay Packers: Chris Olave, WR

Not one but two receivers for Aaron Rodgers! The fact is, Green Bay may have the most complete roster in the league. Other than wideouts, they have quality starters at nearly every position. Sure, they may love drafting defensive backs in the first round (look it up), but the Packers are going all-in on appeasing Rodgers. They get the physical Treylon Burks and now the silky smooth Chris Olave.

​

29. Kansas City Chiefs: Jaquan Brisker, S

This safety class feels like Kyle Hamilton and then everybody else; there isn't much agreement on the second or third best prospect. The choice here is Brisker, the brute-yet-savvy hitter from Penn State. Think Harrison Smith. It's Kansas City, the offense will be fine; they need to restock a defense that lost Tyrann Mathieu and Daniel Sorensen in the secondary.

​

30. Kansas City Chiefs: Arnold Ebiketie, DE

It's​ Kansas City, the offense will be fine. The Chiefs go back to the Penn State well for Ebiketie, a rotational edge rusher who could develop into the heir-apparent for Frank Clark. Ebiketie is shorter than many edge rushers, but the game film is impressive enough to vault him this high.

​

31. Cincinnati Bengals: Roger McReary, CB

McReary is a case of people getting too obsessed with combine performance and metrics. McReary was trending upward until the overanalyzing began. Trust the performance in games, not the gimmicky television show that is the combine. McReary is battle tested from playing in the SEC and can stick to receivers like glue.

​

32. Detroit Lions: George Pickens, WR

Detroit is in a great position here, and the draft world is their oyster. With two of the next three picks they need to address some combination of cornerback, wide receiver and quarterback. With the receiver-needy Jaguars lurking, the Lions get George Pickens. He was a surefire day-one selection until injuries knocked him down, but he is regaining momentum.

​

33. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jalen Pitre, S

A premier wideout would have been tempting, but instead the Jaguars address a huge area of need. Every position outside of Josh Allen is a question mark on that defense right now. 

​

34. Detroit Lions: Kenny Pickett, QB

Pickett is older than most rookies, but he is also the most pro-ready. He is a gamer with smarts and escapability. Does he replace Goff sooner or later?

​

35. New York Jets: Boye Mafe, DT

A bit of a work in progress, Mafe has tremendous upside and could bolster a Jets defensive line that needs more pressure off the edge.

​

36. New York Giants: Daxton Hill, S

Daxton Hill is typically a first day projection, but he doesn't pop as much for us. Still, he can be long-term starter in the NFL.

​

37. Houston Texans: Jahan Dotson, WR

Analysts are fascinated by Dotson. He is small but his route running gets rave reviews. He'd be Houston's second receiver behind Brandin Cooks.

​

38. New York Jets: Chad Muma, LB 

One of those guys who will post 100 tackles each season and never get talked about.

​

39. Chicago Bears: Lewis Cine, S

The Bears' first pick the in the draft due to trading up for Justin Fields last year. This team is riddled with holes, so it's a "best available" situation. They get a speedy safety in Cine.

​

40. Seattle Seahawks: Zion Johnson, OL

It doesn't matter whose the signal caller, this team is not going anywhere until the line is massively improved. Johnson is first-round caliber and could be a multi-position chess piece for the Seahawks.

​

41. Seattle Seahawks: Bernhard Raiman, OL

See above.

​

42. Indianapolis Colts: Kyler Gordon, CB

Gordon would add some length to a stout Colts secondary and could eventually replace the great Stephon Gilmore when he decides to hang up his cleats. 

​

43. Atlanta Falcons: Logan Hall, DT

Probably better than this slot, but a steal for the Falcons. Atlanta just needs so much and are also in the "best available" camp.

​

44. Cleveland Browns: Kingsley Enagbare, DE/OLB

This can't seriously be Cleveland's first pick? Anyway, they go for depth on the defensive front with a superior athlete who can be a tweener on the edge of the defense.

​

45. Baltimore Ravens: DeMarvin Leal, DL

The Ravens are always great at drafting the next generation of stars and letting them learn from the pros. Calais Campbell could do that for DeMarvin Leal.

​

46. Minnesota Vikings: Tyler Smith, OL

Often described as a bit of a wild card, Smith is high risk, high reward. He could be the final piece to the puzzle for a Minnesota line that's sneakily better than anyone admits.

​

47. Washington Commanders: Christian Watson, WR

Some analysts absolutely adore Watson and what he brings to the table. He's big and could finally give Terry McLaurin a running mate to help alleviate some pressure.

​

48. Chicago Bears: Drake Jackson, LB

The Bears front seven suddenly looks more exposed with Khalil Mack gone. Not saying Jackson is Khalil Mack, but Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn need some help, and Jackson is the best option.

​

49. New Orleans Saints: Sam Howell, QB

Sam Howell is our favorite quarterback in this class. He is a bit of a gunslinger who gets wild at time, but he can make all the throws. He can run an offense and is a plus athlete. The Saints are going to give Jameis Winston a shot this year, but Howell is the long-term answer.

​

50. Kansas City Chiefs: Myjai Sanders, DL

Reenergizing the Chiefs defensive line continues with Sanders, a long and lean end with exceptional upside. He needs to get thicker and learn from Frank Clark and Chris Jones.

​

51. Philadelphia Eagles: Breece Hall, RB

There are three first-tier backs in this class--Breece Hall, Isaiah Spiller and Kenneth Walker III. Hall is the most versatile; he can be a bellcow back and is the best blocker and receiver of the bunch. The Eagles have been spreading the wealth, but it's time for a feature back.

​

52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kaiir Elam, CB

Elam was once in the first-round conversation, but he's steadily slipped down the board. He's huge for the position and could come into Pittsburgh as the second or third cornerback.

​

53. Green Bay Packers: Nik Bonitto, LB

Bonitto is smaller, quicker linebacker who could push for the starting job inside or outside in Green Bay.

​

54. New England Patriots: Darian Kinnard, OL

Kinnard is a big man with a proven pedigree. He will throw defenders all over the place. New England's offensive line has been gutted recently, but the Patriots always develop offensive linemen.

​

55. Arizona Cardinals: Perrion Winfrey, DL

Winfrey may be the fiercest tackler in this class. He may not be an every-down star, but when they need a home-run hitter, the Cardinals will have a slugger in Winfrey.

​

56. Dallas Cowboys: Daniel Faalele, OL

He is huge--6'8" and 384 pounds huge. He's more of a project, but the Cowboys have proven adept at developing linemen. Tyron Smith and Zack Martin should be great mentors.

​

57. Buffalo Bills: Kenneth Walker III, RB

The other contender for top running back prospect, Walker III is more of a cannon ball than Breece Hall. But like Hall, he would fill a critical role--feature back for a team that's lacked a star at the position.

​

58. Atlanta Falcons: John Metchie III, WR

Injuries have plagued Metchie III and caused his stock to slide a few notches. He feels like he's from the same mold as former teammate DeVonta Smith. Atlanta needs to add a whole arsenal in this draft.

​

59. Green Bay Packers: Max Mitchell, OL

Fit is a bit of a question for Mitchell in Green Bay, but the talent is tough to ignore. The Packers are set at tackle, so if Mitchell can kick inside he can compete for a starting job. 

​

60. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Josh Jobe, CB

The Bucs are solid at corner with Carlton Davis and Sean Murphy-Bunting, but the depth behind them is lacking. Jobe took a lot of snaps at Alabama and has the football IQ to thrive as a slot corner and eventual starter.

​

61. San Francisco 49ers: Kerby Joseph, DB

The 49ers enter the draft with few holes, the defensive secondary being the noticeable expcetion. Joseph has primarily been a safety but the Niners could experiment with him all over the field. He is a serious contender for a starting spot in 2022.

​

62. Kansas City Chiefs: David Bell, WR

The shine mysteriously seems to be off David Bell, who was a day-one projection throughout the autumn. He has prototypical size and is a reliable catcher. With Tyreek Hill and Byron Pringle gone, the door is open for someone to become the primary slot receiver while Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith-Schuster hold down the edges.

​

63. Cinncinati Bengals: Nicholas Petit-Frere, OL

Cincinnati made tremendous strides in improving the line in free agency. Joe Burrow got beaten to smithereens in the playoffs, and the more emphasis the Begnals can put on that group, the better off everyone will be. 

​

64. Denver Broncos: Rasheed Walker, OL

After years of running for his life in Seattle, Russell Wilson would relish a stout offensive line, and the Broncos are well on their way with Garrett Bolles, Dalton Risner, Lloyd Cushenberry III and Graham Glasgow in front of him. Could Walker be the fifth piece?

​

65. Jacksonville Jaguars: Skyy Moore, WR

Jacksonville may have seemingly signed every receiver in free agency, but there is still room for improvement. He's got highlight reel written all over him. 

​

66. Detroit Lions: Marcus Jones, CB

Detroit needs to know once and for all what they have in Jeff Okudah. The third overall pick in 2020 has been far from elite, and if he doesn't develop, the Lions need a contingency plan. 

​

67. New York Giants: Christian Harris, LB

Alabama always seems to churn out reliable, quality linebackers, and this year it's Christian Harris. The Giants have a decent crop of LBs, but there is still room for Harris to snag a starting middle linebacker spot in 2022.

​

68. Houston Texans: Leo Chenal, LB

A tackling machine if there ever was one, Chenal looks like a berzerker on the warpath when he plays. Linebacker may be the Texans weakest position group, and Chenal can swoop right in and dominate.

​

69. New York Jets: Isaiah Spiller, RB

The last of the "best back trio," Spiller didn't have the college accolades of Hall or Walker III, but he may have the most rare combination of skills. Despite being big and powerful, he is still elusive and shifty. With the Jets he would make a nice 1-2 punch with Michael Carter.

​

70. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dylan Parham, OL

Brandon Scherff is an all-world guard an the tackles are decent, but the jobs are up for the taking at center and left guard. Parham has the talent to claim one of those spots.

​

71. Chicago Bears: Khalil Shakir, WR

Shakir is an intriguing prospect that a lot of smart football people like a lot higher than this. Chicago's wide receiver room is in transition right now, so Shakir would have an opportunity to carve out a niche.

​

72. Seattle Seahawks: Martin Emerson, CB

Seattle is set at safety with Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs, but they need to level up at cornerback. Emerson battled elite talent in the SEC and still posted fantastic numbers.

​

73. Indianapolis Colts: Wan'Dale Robinson, WR

Wan'Dale Robinson is garnering a lot of buzz, but is there steak to back up the sizzle? He is small, shifty and may work best as a gadget player for Matt Ryan. 

​

74. Atlanta Falcons: Bryan Cook, S

Cook is big, experienced and smart. The Falcons can always use defensive weapons.

​

75. Denver Broncos: Trey McBride, TE

The first tight end off the board, McBride would fill the hole left by the Noah Fant trade. Russell Wilson is at his best when he has exceptional tight end play. 

​

76. Baltimore Ravens: Justyn Ross, WR

Ross is a big-bodied receiver who can win contested balls. The Ravens have invested a lot of draft capital in receivers in recent years, but Ross would be a different style of weapon.

​

77. Minnesota Vikings: Phidarian Mathis, DT

A workhorse and a brute, Mathis is a powerhouse with the versatility to move all over the defensive line. 

​

78. Cleveland Browns: Zach Tom, OL

Tom has experience at both center and tackle, and he'd be most desirable to the Browns as a center. Cleveland is 80 percent complete on the line, but they need to replace J.C. Tretter.

​

79. Los Angeles Chargers: Cade Mays, OL

Cade Mays is underrated, but he could be a diamond in the rough for the Chargers. The bolts only have two picks in the top 100, and one of those has to go toward fortifying the line.

​

80. Houston Texans: Cameron Thomas, DL

A do-it-all defensive linemen with marquee strength, Thomas is the prototype of a modern defensive tackle/end hybrid. 

​

81. New York Giants: Carson Strong, QB

The rocket arm of this class, Strong can zip it. That's his calling card. He's not as mobile or accurate as his peers, but there's something captivating about his game. At the very least the Giants get a quality backup, but they may also be drafting the future.

​

82. Atlanta Falcons: Troy Andersen, LB

Andersen is long, athletic and would give the Falcons a new option at one of their outside backer positions.

​

83. Philadelphia Eagles: Brian Asamoah, LB

Whereas Andersen's greatest advantage is his length, Asamoah is completely different player. Undersized for the NFL, he makes up for it as a compact, heavy hitter.

​

84. Pittsburgh Steelers: Desmond Ridder, QB

The Steelers may be giving 2022 to Mitch Trubisky, but the potential of Ridder is too tempting to pass up here. He has the intangibles and athleticism, but can he make the tough throws against NFL defenses?

​

85. New England Patriots: Nick Cross, S

New England doesn't need a starting safety for 2022, but they need to start thinking toward the future with Adrian Phillips and Devin McCourty both getting up there in age. Cross feels very similar to Kyle Dugger, another Patriot safety whom he could one day patrol the middle with.

​

86. Las Vegas Raiders: Sam Williams, DE

An underrated wrecking ball from Ole Miss, Williams is power player with optimum size. He'd slide right into the Raiders rotation and give them another Maxx Crosby.

​

87. Arizona Cardinals: Sean Rhyan, OL

Arizona's line is improved but far from stout. Rhyan is a gargantuan tackle who could clear holes for Kyler Murray's run-happy style.

​

88. Dallas Cowboys: Josh Paschal, DE

Some pundits view this as a massive steal for the Cowboys and think Paschal should go way higher. That's great news for Dallas, which needs to fill the void left by Randy Gregory.

​

89. Buffalo Bills: Luke Fortner, OL

Likely more of an insurance policy and added depth for the Bills, Fortner is a solid guard but not as flashy as his aforementioned college teammate, Darian Kinnard.

​

90. Tennessee Titans: Cole Strange, OL

If we're underrating an offensive linemen, it's Strange. He is projected as an interior linemen, one of the weaker areas on the Titans' depth chart, so the match makes sense. 

​

91. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dohnovan West, OL

The Bucs finally address the offensive line, something they should do a few times in this draft. The line is mostly stacked right now, but they need to replace Ali Marpet at guard. West has been a center but possesses the traits to slide over to guard, too.

​

92. Green Bay Packers: Channing Tindall, LB

The first of two consecutive Georgia linebackers, Tindall is a talent many people are swooning over. He could go much higher. 

​

93. San Francisco 49ers: Quay Walker, LB

And now for the other Bulldogs backer, Quay Walker has the size and coverage ability advantage over Tindall. The 49ers don't need starters at LB right now, but who better to learn the position from than Fred Warner?

​

94. Kansas City Chiefs: Jamaree Salyer, OL

A third straight Georgia Bulldog, this time on offense. Salyer is an experienced lineman who does a little bit of everything well. Kansas City already has a lot of young linemen on the roster, but Salyer could be the eventual replacement for Joe Thuney.

​

95. Cincinnati Bengals: Dameon Pierce, RB

Pierce is a thick, hammer of a running back. He's probably not a breakaway burner in the NFL, but he would be a viable option to spell Joe Mixon, one of the biggest workhorse backs in the game.

​

96. Denver Broncos: Derion Kendrick, DB

Kendrick​ is viewed as a risky pick, but when he is on, he is a star in the secondary. Denver has a history of drafting and developing quality DBs.

​

97. Detroit Lions: Micah McFadden, LB

Detroit is reloading at every level of the defense in this mock. They now add a battle-tested linebacker.

​

98. New Orleans Saints: Travis Jones, DT

One of the biggest defensive tackles in the class, Jones has flirted with the first round in some expert opinions. The defensive tackle positions are by no means set in stone for the Saints--Jones can compete.

​

99. Cleveland Browns: Calvin Austin, WR

He is small, but he is a burner with excellent production. Cleveland could use his burst in the slot or in the return game.

​

100. Baltimore Ravens: Jeremy Reuckert, TE

Some peoples favorite tight end, Reuckert is the best blocker of the top tight ends. The Ravens enjoy deploying multiple tight ends, and they've already got one of the world's best in Mark Andrews. 

​

101. Philadelphia Eagles: Cordale Flott, S

A big safety who can patrol the middle of the field, Flott has the potential to be an NFL starter, and the door is open in Philadelphia.

​

102. Miami Dolphins: Jalen Tolbert, WR

Miami set at the top of the wideout depth chart, but every team could benefit from more reliable possession receivers.

​

103. Kansas City Chiefs: Alontae Taylor, DB

A physically imposing cornerback for a team crafting a new secondary. Kansas City is on track to come away with a loaded 2022 class.

​

104. Los Angeles Rams: Charlie Kolar, TE

Kolar is a bona fide red zone target. He has great hands, height and speed to make him an asset for Matt Stafford close to the goal line.

​

105. San Francisco 49ers: Luke Goedke, OL

Can he switch to guard, a much greater area of need for the 49ers? Or does he grow into the heir for Trent Williams, whose entering his 12th season?

​
