Draft Kings

There’s just one week left in the 2021 NFL season and it’s time for another 2022 NFL mock draft. The final draft order is still being crystallized and by the end of Week 18, either the Jacksonville Jaguars or the Detroit Lions will emerge with the No. 1 overall pick. This wide receiver class for the 2022 NFL Draft is loaded with pass-catchers who could be difference makers for their respective franchises quickly. We saw three receiver threats (four if you lump in Kyle Pitts) taken in the Top 10 of last year’s draft. Given the immediate needs of the team’s near the top of this year’s board however, we may not see receivers start to get their names called until the middle of the round. Still, there’s certain guys who could thrive if paired with the right quarterback and the right situation. Depending on who you ask, Ohio State’s Garrett Wilson is at the top of this year’s receiver class. The receiver out of Austin, TX, improved his stats in each of his three seasons with the Buckeyes, culminating it with a 2021 campaign where he hauled in 70 receptions for 1,058 yards and 12 touchdowns.
