The 2021 NFL draft came and went and a lot of teams have made themselves better this past weekend including the Chicago Bears who landed their potential franchise quarterback in Justin Fields. While it feels like it all happened so fast, soon another draft will be upon us and it's time to start the scouting on this 2022 class. I try to look at each class as it's own unique story: with different amounts of first round grades, different depth, different top to bottom talent in various positions. It's early, but with this piece, I'm looking to share a good idea of what talent could be awaiting the NFL next April.
