The Super Bowl is here, but for the teams looking forward to their first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Senior Bowl was the biggest event of the past two weeks. Many of the best prospects were on display in Mobile, including all the quarterbacks vying to go first off the board in April. The picks, before trades, are still set from No. 1-30 after the conference championship round of the playoffs, just waiting on the result between the Bengals and Rams (whose first-rounder belongs to the Lions). Keeping in mind the fluctuating player stock and knowing nine teams now have new head coaches, here are Sporting News' latest projections:
Oregon
Michigan
NC State
Iowa
Utah
Purdue
Liberty
Texas A&M
Georgia
Auburn
USC
Notre Dame
Alabama
Mississippi State
LSU
Ohio State
