Bruins had 6 players drafted.  More than Utah, SC, and Oregon combined.  How’d y’all do?

2022 NFL Draft: First Look Mock Draft Top 16

 

I know this class isn’t ver strong at QB, but Denver taking a defensive player at 9 when their offense was middle school good at best is interesting. I know they will probably hit the FA market hard for a QB but just don’t see any options that are realistic/worth trying. I think Rodgers ultimately stays in GB.

Yeah that early mock draft of top 16 picks makes this 2022 NFL Draft look pretty weak in the first round...

YUCK

If no standout QBs=weak draft then yeah. But it’s deep with in-the-trenches prospects. 

You might be right.  Imo this is a weak draft compared to most other drafts even if you take QBs out of the discussion...

NFL Draft: 2022 NFL Mock Draft - Defense Dominate at the Top

Quote

With the college football season coming to an end shortly, it's time to dive deep into these mock drafts. The NFL Draft order at the top will be solidified soon enough and we can start predicting the early portion of the first round. Let's dive into the first round of the latest 2022 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars: OT Evan Neal, Alabama

"A huge two-year starter at left guard and right tackle. Neal has rare athleticism for his size, possessing quick feet and lower body flexibility to get out of his stance and work to the second level."

2. Detroit Lions:  DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon

"Kayvon Thibodeaux is one such prospect who has been considered a future first-overall pick contender since his debut college season. The Oregon star’s game is predicated on his incredible athleticism. Thibodeaux boasts excellent burst, change of direction and long speed."

3. Houston Texans:  DE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan

"Already an intriguing prospect heading into 2021, Aidan Hutchinson is an experienced, productive and well-built defensive end. He primarily wins with his length and technique, managing distance well."

4. New York Jets:  DE George Karlaftis, Purdue

"A player’s draft profile largely comes down to traits, production and favorable projection to an NFL scheme. Purdue’s George Karlaftis boasts all three. A well-built athlete, the Boilermakers’ star has high-level starter potential at defensive end in both a 4-3 and a 3-4 defense; he is a better fit in a 4-3 front. He can kick inside to 4-3 defensive tackle on passing downs."

5. New York Giants: FS Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame

"Kyle Hamilton has both in a 6040, 220-pound frame. The Notre Dame product exhibits excellent short-area burst, long speed, change of direction and clean transitions. The oversized safety also has excellent play strength. The Fighting Irish’s defensive chess piece has experience in the slot, in the box, in two-high, in single-high and more."

6. Carolina Panthers: QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh

"Pickett has very good athletic ability, displaying the foot speed+acceleration to escape the pocket and some agility to make a LB miss in space. While he has a large amount of career rushing attempts, Pickett is always keeping his eyes downfield, scanning the defense while he scrambles, exhibiting a pass-first mentality when the play breaks down."

7. New York Giants (via CHI): DE David Ojabo, Michigan

"Explosive two-point stance rusher with very good length. Ojabo possesses a great get-off and burst to consistently threaten and win the outside shoulder of tackles from wide alignments. His speed causes tackles to be off-balance, allowing him to extend and knock them off balance at the top of the rush."

8. Atlanta Falcons:  CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU

"Instinctive reactionary quickness at the line of scrimmage to slide feet and mirror releases while utilizing a kick step to cut off vertical releases. Easy mover with excellent hip flexibility to transition and flip without losing speed to stay in phase."

9. Denver Broncos: OT Ikem Ekwonu, North Carolina State

"Having lined up at left guard and left tackle, Ekwonu is a very aggressive run blocker who creates a push upfront with great strength. He is very competitive, looking to finish defenders and successfully doing so."

10. New York Jets (via SEA): WR Treylon Burks, Arkansas

"Burks aligns as the starting outside receiver for the Razorbacks. Possesses a very large frame, ideal for a X-receiver. Extremely fluid athlete, long strider who showcases his acceleration and burst in a flash."

11. Washington Football Team:  QB Malik Willis, Liberty

"Malik Willis has a thicker, more well-built frame than some people may give him credit for. He is a dynamic runner who can execute on designed run plays and also extend plays with his legs to save a bad situation."

12. Minnesota Vikings:  CB Ahmad Gardner, Cincinnati

"Has extreme length on the outside at corner. Is able to bump and run at the line of scrimmage in press coverage with his longer frame and is able to stay with receivers stride for stride down the field."

13. Cleveland Browns: DT DeMarvin Leal, Texas A&M

"Leal was moved all over the defensive line in 2020 for the Aggies defense, which hints at one of his biggest strengths, versatility. His size suggests he will move to an interior role on the defensive line, but he has shown to be proficient in every technique"

14. Baltimore Ravens: OT Charles Cross, Mississippi State

"Keeping a wide base with great knee bend, Cross stays on balance and can recover quickly because of it. His reactive quickness to mirror in pass protection is excellent. Anchoring at an above-average level, he uses his base to maximize his strength."

15. Philadelphia Eagles (via MIA): OC Tyler Linderbaum, Iowa

"Linderbaum aligns as the starting center along the Hawkeyes’ offensive line. For an undersized offensive lineman, his strength is absolutely phenomenal. A former high school state champion wrestler, firmly understands how to use his hands and basically wins every battle in the trenches."

16. Philadelphia Eagles (via IND): DT Jordan Davis, Georgia

"Nose tackle with great size and strength. Davis eats up space on the interior with his strong anchor. Putting on a clinic in how to stack and shed, he takes advantage of his length and upper body power to extend as he pleases. With that strength, he enforces his will, twisting opponents and disengaging with violent hands."

17. Los Angeles Chargers: WR Garrett Wilson, Ohio State

"Garrett Wilson is a twitched up athlete with excellent suddenness and flexibility. He displays inside-outside versatility with a diverse route tree. Excellent overall release package vs a variety of techniques and coverages."

18. New Orleans Saints: QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss

"Matt Corral has improved every year as the Rebels quarterback and should hear his name called early in the 2022 draft. Corral has tremendous feel for maneuvering around in the pocket and while keeping his eyes downfield he gets low to slide up, back, or to the side to evade incoming defenders."

Last year was QB heavy with Lawrence, Wilson, Trey, Mac Jones, and Fields. The  year before that was wideouts - Jefferson, Jeudy, Lamb, Aiyuk (and Ruggs).  There's no dominant group in this class - not a bad time to trade down or out for future picks. 

This matches what I have seen so far from these early Mock Drafts for the 1st Round.

Maybe this draft has a ton of quality picks in rounds 2 thru 4 -- if not, then trading down or out for more future picks might make sense??

The decision to trade down in a weak draft is easy to make, the problem is finding a team that wants to trade up in a weak draft.

Do not understand the Malik Willis love. Watched him play vs Ole Miss earlier this year and he was awful. No clue why anyone would want him over Corral. 

He will probably be the guy that the draftniks hype all combine season who ends up being a 3rd round pick. He is not a first round QB. This is a good draft along the DL but horribad at QB.

2022 NFL Draft position rankings: Top 10 players at every position
As the 2021 NFL season hits the home stretch, the 2022 NFL Draft inches closer and closer. Follow along below as PFF's Mike Renner breaks down the top players at each position group heading into draft season.
Quote

The 2022 NFL Draft won't hang a banner for its quarterback class, but teams will still chase multiple names in the first round. Ole Miss‘ Matt Corral headlines the group for now, but that's subject to change as bowl games play out, all-star bowls run their course and the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine finishes up in early March… Read more

Doak Walker Award winner Kenneth Walker III leads the pack of 2022 draft-eligible running backs for PFF right now. He nearly broke the PFF record for forced missed tackles and yards after contact in 2021. Iowa State's Breece Hall and UCLA's Zach Charbonnet enter the early offseason at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively… Read more

Five wide receivers currently rank inside PFF's top-32 overall prospect rankings, including Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Drake London, Chris Olave and Treylon Burks… Read more

Entering early January, only two tight ends rank inside PFF's top-100 overall prospect rankings for the 2022 NFL Draft: Trey McBride and Jalen Wydermeyer… Read more

Three offensive tackles rank inside PFF's top-10 overall prospect rankings ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft: Evan Neal, Charles Cross and Ikem Ekwonu. Another eight fit inside PFF's current top-100… Read more

Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum and Texas A&M guard Kenyon Green are the only two 2022 NFL Draft interior offensive line prospects who rank inside PFF's top-50 overall players… Read more 

The 2022 crop of interior defensive linemen isn't that impressive. DeMarvin Leal and Jordan Davis are the only two interior defensive linemen ranked inside PFF's top-32 overall prospect rankings. And only four others at the position even cracked PFF's top-100… Read more

The 2022 NFL Draft is chock full of pass-rushing talent at the top of the class and deep into Day 2. Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux will compete for the No. 1 overall pick, and at least four others should come off the board in the first 50 picks… Read more

Nakobe Dean and Devin Lloyd will be the talk of the class and likely the only two first-round linebacker prospects in 2022, but there's still a lot of talent at the position on Days 2 and 3 of the draft… Read more.

Derek Stingley Jr., Trent McDuffie, Kaiir Elam and Roger McCreary all rank inside PFF's top 20 overall players on the 2022 NFL Draft Board. Another seven rank inside PFF's top 100… Read more.

Three safeties rank inside PFF's top 32 overall prospect rankings in the 2022 NFL Draft, including Kyle Hamilton, Jaquan Brisker and Jordan Battle. Seven other safeties rank inside PFF's top 100 overall prospects… Read more.

will the torn ACL for Jameis Williams affect a Round 1 selection?

As for UT, Overshown will make it, got that explosiveness and big play making thing going. 

Gotta believe it drops him some...

"Williams is projected as the No. 27 pick (to the Titans) in The Athletic's Dane Brugler's 2022 NFL mock draft."

NFL.com:  Although free agency can have a profound impact on draft needs, the Jaguars, Lions, Jets, and Washington Football Team are among the clubs in the most apparent need of draft help at wide receiver.

CBS Sports:  Williams suffered a reported ACL tear early in the second quarter of Alabama's 33-18 loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday. However, the dynamic 6-foot-2 speedster is expected to undergo surgery soon and make a full recovery. He remains a projected first-round pick, according to CBS Sports draft analysts Ryan Wilson and Josh Edwards.

I know of at least one GM who could make it happen.

13 WR better than Justyn Ross? Sleep on him like you did Tee Higgins and look similarly foolish.

I'm not on board with the Malik Willis hype because he looks like shit in games, but fucking-a on this..

 

Draft Wire’s Gavino Borquez named his biggest winners of the all-star event on Monday. Of them, of course, is Carolina’s potential first-round choice.

“On tape, the physical traits and arm strength of Willis always popped,” Borquez writes. “However, the things he needed to show improvement were his mechanics and throwing with anticipation. Benefiting from a more robust support cast than the one he had in college, Willis checked those boxes as he coupled his rocket-like arm with pinpoint accuracy, all while dealing with rugged weather conditions the first two days of practice. His showing helped his draft stock, and if a team wants him, they may have to trade up into the top-10.”

Something has to be off.  All of these guys can’t have stronger arms than Allen:

Dicker might be worth a 6th or 7th Rd pick...

Doing what?  Not kicking but maybe punting. He was 35th in fg percentage this year and that was his only year above 80%, I have a hard time thinking a team is taking him as a kicker.

I'll save folks the sad click

Texas

Cameron Dicker, K

Josh Thompson, DB
 

I was reading something on the combine this morning, so I came over to this board to see what the draft discussion was looking like and ... this is bleak. Nonetheless, I'm glad to see that Josh Thompson was invited to the combine. He's basically our only shot at not having to read and hear about how pathetic Texas is to not have a single player drafted, again.

maybe coaching wasn't the issue after all.  Sad days.
