In our first NFL mock draft for 2022, which dropped close to Halloween, we landed five quarterbacks in Round 1. This time around, closer to Christmas, we've shown more restraint at the position. (Please don't call us Grinch for this.) Typically, the closer we get to the NFL draft, the more quarterbacks tend to get pushed up the board. But we found room for only three QBs in the first round this time around, wanting to learn more from Cincinnati's Desmond Ridder, Liberty's Malik Willis and Nevada's Carson Strong — all three of whom could be at the Senior Bowl.
