It’s the morning of the 2022 NFL Draft, and nobody is any closer to knowing what will happen. The first overall pick is a mystery, this class is deep, and anything could happen. This may not be an incredibly sexy draft year for sure-thing top players, but we really could see huge numbers of players becoming league-staples, or perennial Pro Bowl talents. It’s a great year for good teams to find talent later than usual, and a very bad one for terrible teams wanting difference makers. As it stands I have two big trades happening early, then nothing. I feel fairly confident we’ll see more deals on draft night, but it also wouldn’t surprise me to see teams stand pat and wait for similarly graded players to fall to them. So, let’s go for it.
