With The First Pick

Accuracy: 9.13%444th Place
We are just days away from the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. NFL front offices’ final big boards are set, and draft scenarios are being discussed in mock drafts. 2022 marks the first complete pre-draft process since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following is a mock draft of what I would do if I was GM of all 32 teams, based on my evaluation of each player, scheme fit, and need. This is a unique draft, with the lack of standout quarterback prospects, but this draft still has top-end talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball and at wide receiver. Let’s see how things shape up.
