We are now officially inside three weeks to the 2022 NFL draft. Try and contain your excitement, everyone. But it is true. Three weeks from now the football media landscape will be filled with reaction pieces to the first round. Unlike in recent years when the first few picks seemed to be locked in by this point of the draft cycle, more questions than answers linger as we anticipate the start of the first round. How might the first three rounds play out? This is an exercise in what one lowly football writer thinks will happen over the first three rounds of the 2022 NFL draft. There are no trades in this mock — mostly so I can remain sane, at least relatively speaking — and this is a look at how things might unfold.
