2022 NFL Mock Draft.
There Were Moments. Flashes Of Dread, then Complete darkness. Moments When This Mock looked To Destined For scrap Heap. " I Was Up Late Balling (bawling)." I Wanted Claw A Bit Deeper Into Some Prospects I expected To Push Twitter Cap Count Come Thursday Affair. Particularly Offense Lineman And Potentially Defensive Back And Defensive End. But Time Waits For No One. I Learned Last Year That The Lyrical Exercise Of Mock drafts Have A Triathlon Like effect, And It’s Best To Start Early As Possible. I didn’t. The Diligence Requires To Channel All The Functions, Thoughts, And Desire Of All 32 Teams. A Worthwhile Mock Requires Singleness of Purpose.
Even If Most Of What I wrote, Will Be A-washed By Thursday Night. “The Moment Is To Live It Like Your Last.” A Well Written Mock Serves The Joy Of Discipline Come In The Fruition Of Strenuous Puzzle Solving.
It’s Almost industry Standard For Anyone In Sports Media Who Covers The NFL In Any Capacity To Finish A Mock Draft. Each Year NFL Content Creators Flood The Internet With Mock Upon Mock Along With Auxiliary Draft Content. Dialogue builds into a Dizzying Suspense, That Almost Always Get Rewritten By The End.
But the Content has Never Been In Higher Demand. The Draft-Guru’s Life Derives From A Near Cultish Devotion To Knowing More Than What Claim They Do. A Consequence Of our Information Overloaded Content-driven Society.
Even In The “F*** Those Picks,” Era The Draft Can’t Be Overwritten.
The Super Bowl Champs Technically Build Through the Draft Just Not How We Associate Picks with Progress. Les Snead Circumvented The Time And Development Aspects Buy Shopping Picks. Immediate Consequences, A Turbulent Title Run. Long Term Kick Back, TBD.
The Team That Secures The Next Burrow-Chase Combo Determines Which Team Arrives In Glendale, Arizona, Next Year Or Vegas The Year After.
Some Of the picks Are Products of The Scheme The Player Enters. Talent Available Could Slot In Any Scheme. Some Picks Just Work; Other Picks Are Felicitous. Based on Best Player Available At The Time Of Selection. I won’t project Trades That’s A Lyrical And Situational Exercise As Experience Builds. Teams Moving Up And Down Draft Days End Are A Given, But ToProject A Trade Would Add Another Element Of Unpredictability To The Fray.
Multiple Teams Have Two First Picks. So Expect some Deal Swinging If Kayvon Or Or Even Kyle Hamilton Fall. Projection Indicate There Will Be A Run On Wide receivers, Like The Run Henry Ruggs Precipitated Two Years Ago. That Will Depend On How Early Either Garret Wilson Or Jameson Williams Come Off The Board. Many Teams In the Top Ten are reportedly Interested In Trading Back Possibly Out Of The Top Ten. Without Premium Quarterbacks On The Board Its Unlikely Teams In The Top Ten Will Yield In Return Comparable Compensation As In Years Pass If Any Movement At All Should Happen. The Lack Of Teams Interested In Moving In And Team Interest In Moving Out Reflects The Low Morale Surrounding The Top Talent. The Broke Of The Jags Extension With Cam Robinson After I Finished At least My Top 20, But I Don’t Expect It swill Change Much In The Order Of the Proceedings.
1) Jacksonville Jaguars—Evan Neal, Tackle. Alabama.
The Jaguars Are Another top Ten Pick Away From Being A Top 15 Pick Away from Playoff Contention. Unlike Last Year's Draft When The Jags Took The Best Quarterback Prospects In The Past Decade In Trevor Lawrence. Despite Lawrence's Struggles, The Upside Still Holds Most Of Sheen. He Walks Into The League Out Of Clemson. This Year the Number Pick Didn’t Finish The College Season With a Neon Glowed Sign Draped Around The Neck. The Projection Starter With The Aidan Hutchinson, The Edge Stalwart From Michigan But The Challenge From Fast Rising Travon Walker Georgia Defensive End Supplanted Hutchinson tentative Position. But if The Jags Hope To Improve Their Standing in AFC South Looks(A Conqueable Division), They’ll Need To Improve Now And Intro The Future. I Don’t Believe Either Edge Achieves That. Take the Best Tackle Available—Alabama’s Evan Neal. Neal’s Unparalleled Frame and Quick Feet Makes Him The Perfect Fit To Plug And Play At Either Tackle Spot Regardless Of What The Team Decides To Do With Cam Robinson.
2) Detroit Lions—Aidan Hutchinson, Edge. Michigan.
That Quarterback At Number Two Dialogue Shouldn't Be anymore Than Smoke and Mirrors. Wishful—Not To Mention—Delusional Romanticizing The Idea Of Draft The Future at The Position. But For The Detroit, That Guy Won’t Be In Las Vegas On Thursday. The Lions Take The Best Player Available In Defensive End Aidan Hutchinson. Across The border Production. Easily Projectable Traits. His Physical Build, Length and Versatility Adds A Presence Off The Edge Missing In The Motor City Since Maybe Ziggy Ansah Had Promise. The Lions Finished Near The Bottom In Pressure Last Year and Released 2019 $90 Million Free Agent Move Flamed Out.
3) Houston Texans—Kayvon Thibeadoux, Edge. Oregon
The Texans Have A lot Of Holes To Fill on The Roster. Trading Back Would Be Tye Best Option Here. Otherwise, The Dial Could Stop In Any Direction. The Best Offensive Tackles, Corners Available Are all Viable Options For This Pick At Three. New Head Coach Lovie Smith Will Take A Defensive Minded Approach With This Pick Along With A Pick Thirteen To Build A Better Than Near Last Place Defense. Nobody’s Stock Shook More Leading Up to And Through The Draft Process More Than Thibodeaux’s. Whether The Poor “PR” Thanks To Exhaustive Redirect. The Inexorable Rise Of Other Prospects. Trayvon’s Stock stood Still As Others Supersede Him. Still, With His Combination Of Bend, length, Explosiveness, And Natural Edge Feel. Thibodeaux Can Push Offensive Lineman And Your Team Forward Or Backward, Or Both. Instants Production Who’ ‘ll Bring His 23% Win Rate To Your Team.
4) New York Jets—Travon Walker, Edge. Georgia
The Jets Have A Treasure chest Of Wealth In The Draft. Four Picks In First 35 Selections Thanks To Trades and Outright Ineptitude. The NFL Draft Top Ten serves as an Offseason Home For The Jets. They’ve Selected With The First Ten. Pick 4 Of the Last 5 Draft—the Pick Of Mekhi Becton, 11th Overall In 2020 Just Missing The Mark. The Offensive Line Still Flawed, Young but Maturing. Drafting Another Offensive Line Prospects Remain Would Act As A Vote Of No Confidence For The Previous First Round Offensive Lineman Prospect They Have Now. The Jets Take Travon Walker. His Name Push The Throttle Around The Number 1 Pick, But His Quiet Production for Georgia’s Monstrous Defense Makes Walker An intriguing Question Mark.
5) New York Giants—Garrett Wilson, Wide Receiver.
The G-Men Are Facing Another Adventure Into The Wild Yonder Of Offensive Reconstruction. Starting With Stunning Fire Sale At Wide Receiver And The Slowly Crouching Apprehension Evading In as The Extension Deadline for Daniel Jones Comes Pending. With Kadavius Toney done In New York And Darius Slayton Reportedly Following. The Giants Are About O Lose Haul And Half Of Their a receiving Group. Garret Wilson Brings That Odell Beckham Jr. Like “Juice” To The Line-Up. Wilson Compares Favorable To Beckham, Who Played His First Four Record-Setting Seasons in MetLife Stadium. A Full Range Receiver With Quick Twitch Easy-Ease Out Of Breaks On Route at True 4.29 (40) Speed. Flawless Sprinter Strides In Motion. It starts, Stops, And shifts Direction With No Change In Throttle. Odell Shined Despite Inconsistent Quarterback Play In Eli’s Twilight. Regardless Of What Transpires Around The Pick, The Giants Have To Come Out With Some Clarified Direction. Wilson Give Them The Best Shot At Replacing The Now Defunct Wide Receiver Projects And
6) Carolina Panthers—Malik Willis, Quarterback. Liberty.
“Oh, My! … What A Great Show. Unbelievable, Look At That.”-Freiza.
The Panthers Season Imploded In “Stupendous” Fashion. Not That I Found Pleasure In Watching The Offense Struggle To Be Respectable. Their season Simply Reminded Me Of Streisand Blowing Up Planet Vegeta. After the First Quarter of Bend, No One Suspected The 3-1 Panther To Win Just Two More Games In Thirteen Weeks. Sam Darnold, Who Recorded Three Hundred Yard Games, Completely Lost Touch With Matt Rhule’s And Joe Brady’s Offense. After Looking poised For The Acclaim Of the Offseason Steal. The Former Top 5 Pick Would Find Himself Challenge By A Former XFL and Standout and Possibly a Future One. I’m Just Joking. The Defense Held Up Too Early Season Projection(Some) But The Offense Mired Through The Season With Three Quarterbacks Directing The Offense With No Offensive Line. The resurrected remains Of Cam Newton's Prolific Career Ignited A Whimper Before The Flashing Out To Dimmed Into uncertainty. The Panthers Could Address Their Wearying Offensive Lineman. One Of the Worst Graded Units In The League Needs an Overhaul That’s Long Over muse. A Youth Infusion Same Likely. Between Charles Cross Or Ickey Ekwonu, Either Prospect Could Move the Panther's O-Line Into At Least Respectable Territory. Instead, The Panthers Look To Address The Pressing Issue Under Center. Malik Willis May Need A Year To Improve His Foot Work And acclimate To NFL Level Reads. But The Panthers Afforded Such A Year When They “Activated” Sam Darnold's Fifth-Year Option. Willis Gives The Panthers At Least another Two Year Of prospect Training And Possibly Another To Recapture The Energy Of Cam Newton. At Least In Spirit. “ I’m Back.”
7) New York Giants (from Chicago Bears)—
Sauce Gardner, Cornerback. Cincinnati.
The Mounting List Of Player Decisions The Giants Will Face Entering The Draft Only Deepens As The Giants Address The Seventh Pick. Giants Starting Corner James Bradberry Forced 39 Interceptions Since 2020 Finishing Second This Year With 15 Amongst Cornerbacks Who Play At 700 hundred Starter Snaps. But Interception and Coverage Skills Aren’t the same. Bradbury Has One Year On His Contract, And His Name Emerge In trade Talks Mid Season. In Ahmad Gardner's The Giants Get Day One High Coverage Ability. A Unignorably Long Figure With Quickness and Bend. Gardner Won’t Cloak An Interior Side Of Feild. But You Can Play Him In Man, Off, Or Press, And Teams Will Have To Avoid looking In His Direction.
8) Atlanta Falcons-Drake London Wide Reciever, USC.
One thing We Know is The Falcons are Not Rebuilding. The Team Entered the State Of Suspension Until They Reinitialize. When Atlanta Roam The NFC South At Its Competitive Peak, They Had Two Range Receivers On The Outside And A Peerless Tight End Inside Or Anywhere They wanted Tony Gonzales To Lineup. Last Year The Falcons found their Tight End In Kyle Pitts; now, They Look To Match Pitts Outside Prolific With Another Big Target. Drake London. The USC Product Standing 6’4, 210 London’s Addition to The Falcon Offense could Nightmares To Defenses Trying To Mock Up Schemes And Length To Oppose Both He And Pitts. The Falcons Can Stack, Use Either Inline Or Slot Or Opposite Boundaries. He Won’t Ease The Burden On Mariota’s Reads, But With The Contested Catch Rate In The League, He’ll Lessen The Need For Perfect Throws. Mariota Just To Put It Up.
9) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver Broncos)- Derek Stingley Jr., Cornerback. LSU.
Seahawk's Offense Needs A Boost At Just About Anywhere. The Contemporary School Of Thought Suggest The Operations Start Top-Down By Replacing Russell Wilson With Quarterback Here At With The Pick They Nabbed At Nine. But Honestly, no Quarterback Prospect Justifies Reaching This High. The Seahawks Take The Best Player Available In Derek Stingley Jr. Out Of LSU. The “Floor Is The Ceiling” With This Kid. Stingley Has Prepackaged Pro Bowl Ability. The Former Top Five Recruit Possesses Malleable Fluidity And Athleticism. You Can Plug Him In. He’ll Cover Any Quadrant Of the Field. Bump Run. Quarters. In The Slot. You Name It. You’ll Run Out Scheme Before He Runs Out Of Talent. His Success Boils Down To Motivation and Durability. But If We Get the Same Quality player That Emerged In His Freshman Year, Stingley’s is The Best in The Game In A Year Or Two. He won’t Offer Much As A Blitzer, But Jamal Adams Handle The Heavy Work For The Back Field.
10) New York Jets (from Seattle Seahawks)-Chris Olave, Wide Receiver, Ohio State.
The Jets Have Worked The Trails On Just About Every Available Star In The Receiver Market This season. To No Avail. They Sort Of Sealed The Deal For Miami To Secure Tyreek Hill From the Chiefs. Hill Spurned New York In Favor of South Beach. Draft Picks Can’t Reject Their Team, At Least Not Without Leverage. Olave Maybe The best Receiver In This Class. He’s Not Dynamic, But He’s Not Polished. He Brings Top-end Speed, a complete Release Package, and Great Hands. He’ll Bring A Brandin Cooks Type Element To The Jets’ paltry Passing Attack. A Great Possession Receiver With Extra Scoot.
11) Washington Commanders—Kyle Hamilton, Safety Norte Dame.
The Commanders Would Do Well To Trade Back From This Pick, But that’s Not A Function Of This Simulacrum. Instead, They Take Norte Dame Safety Kyle Hamilton. The Washington Defensive Remain A Formidable Force Despite Injuries. The Line Didn’t Dominate As Many Expected. A Return To Full Strength Could Prove To Be The Difference. The Other Levels Of Defense Addressing Starting by Bookendeing The Backend With Kyle Hamilton. He Doesn’t Fill The Void Strong Safety Landon Collins Left. But Kyle Could Be the First Plug Of A “No Fly Zone” In The Capital(Of A America). Excellent Sinewy Frame, Bicycle Pedal Like Speed Once He Picks Up Momentum. SuperbPlay Recognition. Hamilton Had A Disappointing Forty, Just 4.59, But He Played All Over The Board At Norte Dame. From The Box To The Deep Half. He missed Only 6.8% Of His Tackles and Forced Three Interceptions. The Commanders Could Look At the Receiver As Well.
12) Minnesota Vikings-Trent Mcduffie, Cornerback, Washington.
The Vikings Are Going To Miss Out On The Two Elite Corner Prospects In Stingley Or Gardner, Barring A Fall Or A Trade, But They Won’t Lose On Impact. The Vikings Struggled In Coverage, And What’s worse, The Aging Group Now Thrives On Experience and Crumbles On Upside. Trent Mcduffie Enters Minnesota With Number 1 Corner LockDown Potential Anywhere On The Field. His Height Could Prove Nullified If He adds Strength, But With Quick Feet, He Can Give The Vikings A Dimension They Don’t Have On Defense To Complement All Of The Pressure The Produce On The D-Line.
13) Houston Texans (from Cleveland Browns)-Ikem “Ickey” Ekwonu
Ekwonu Could Be In The Mix At Number One. The NC State Product Has The Perfect Blend Of Technical Savvy, And Physical Attributes At The Position, Whether Guard Or Tackle. Great Arm Length And Explosion To Move Up To The Second level And Disengage From Defenders. The Texans Passing Game Showed Life Late In The Season, Even Promise Maybe. Once Davis Mills Took Over Full Time. The Texans Are Going To Need a Complete Evaluation Of Mills At The Position Before The Next wave Of Franchise Quarterbacks Emerge. Protected Him On Both Ends Or Inside Would Be A Step In that Direction.
14) Baltimore Ravens- Tyler Linderbaum, OL, Iowa.
Despite The Run On The Injuries, The Ravens And Greg Roman's Offense Should Remain Committed To The Run. Whether through Quarterback Lamar Jackson, Who Missed The Final Five With An Ankle, Or Any Of The Recovery Stalwarts, The Ravens Will Start and Stopped With Their Complex Run System Of QB Draws And Stretch Runs. They Need To Upgrade The Offensive Line. Their Best Tackles Finished With Average To Below Average Grades And The Team Recoup On Orlando Brown From Last year's Trade. Linderbaum Ranks As The Drafts Best Center Prospect Not Only In This Draft But Over The Past Decade. Strong Grappler. Light Base With Excellent Athleticism And Explosive Mover In The Middle. Anchor An Offensive Line.
15) Philadelphia Eagles (from Miami Dolphins)- Jameson Williamson, Wide Receiver. Alabama
The Eagles Need To Improve Their Depth At Receiver. Devonta Smith Looked Like a Winner. Jaelon Raegor Of Year Before Looks Like the Next Receiver Out. Smith Still doesn’t Strike Me As A Number 1 Threat On a Playoff Contending Team. Jameson Williams Has all The Traits Of A Pro bowl Receiver. Williamson Lean And Long Resemble Smiths But The Former Packs more Burst and Suddenness. Fly By Defender Into The Second. Excellent Deep Threat Who Can Get behind Zone and Underneath Man Coverage. Williamson Caught 11 Touchdowns On Explosive Plays. His Recovery From ACL Surgery Won’t Factor Much. He’s Already Blowing By The Expectations And Looks Poised To Make An Adrian Peterson Like Recovery. The Eagles Have Time. In A Division Open, Only The Cowboys Own A Better Projection.
16) New Orleans Saints (from Indianapolis Colts through Philadelphia Eagles)- Charles Cross, OT. Mississippi State.
Saints May Look To Make Another Move Up Depending On Who Falls Where But The Offense Will Sure Look To Replace Tackle Terron Armstead. Enter Charles Cross Fit In Here. A Day One Starter At Left Tackle. Standing 6’5 311 “lbs Cross Take The Blindside With Less Weight Than Preferred. You Like Him To Be More On The 330 Side Of Thing. But He’s Great On His Feet With Added Explosiveness On Account Of his 9’4” Broad Jump, Which Rank In the 89th Percentile. He played More Than 1500 Snaps At The Position And Still Has A lot To Refine In the Technical Portion Of The Game.
17) Los Angeles Chargers-Jordan Davis, Defensive Lineman. Georgia.
The Chargers And Brandon Staley Want To Achieve Two Things On Defense; Control Two Gaps Simultaneously And Blanket One Side (Or Two) Of The Field. In Free agency, They Signed Cornerback J.C. Jackson To Do Just That Now To Control The Trenches. Jordan Davis plays pure Nose Tackle At Georgia. A Massive Human With Un-freight-able Frame In The Middle. the Kind Of Guy Who Makes Standard Vernacular Sound Unfit To Bear His Mass. His Presence Alone Will Force Teams, To Kick Runs Outside, and Once His First Gets Off The Ball, He’s Moving Your Offensive line. Incredible Athlete For His Size. Can Go Beyond The Anchor Spot And Along The Line If Need Be. Finished In The 90th Percentile In Speed and broad Jump. Will Demand Double Teams Every Sunday. He Won’t Offer Much In Pass Rushers Unless On A Straight Line. They Just Never Needed Him To. With All The Talent They Had At Georgia, The Chargers Won’t Need Him Too Either With Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa, Both Ends.
18) Philadelphia Eagles (from New Orleans Saints)— Devonte Wyatt, Defensive Tackle Georgia.
The Eagles Could Look To Improve Their Linebacking Corp. Options Like Devin Lloyd And Nakobe Dean Will Still Be On The Board, But They Can Come back In Round Two For That. The Eagles Team Defensive Line Had A Top Five Pass Rush Win Rate According To ESPN, But That Group, Lead By Fletcher Cox, Got Another Year Older. Cox and Brandon Graham are Both Pro Bowlers 30 plus(31 Adams 34) On Expiring Deals With Graham Coming off Of An Achilles Tear. Young Guys Like Derek Barnett Didn’t Step Up In Graham Lost Just Three Sacks For Eagles Team That Finished Near The Bottom In Sacks. Meaning Those Wins didn’t Translate To Production. The Eagles Won’t Get Immediately Young, Given Wyatt’s already 24, But He’s An Instant Step Up In Pass Rush Production. Explosive 3 Technique. Agile Off The Line Of Scrimmage. Uses Cat Like Get To Push Inside Of Gaps To Pile Drive Quarterbacks. Wyatt Ran A 4.77 At 300lbs. Great Feet. Sudden Hand. He finished His Five Years At Georgia Storming Inside Gaps.
19) New Orleans Saints (from Philadelphia Eagles)- Treylon Burks Wide Receiver, Arkansas.
The days Of Micheal Thomas, The Dependable pass Catching Option, look all But Gone. The All-Pro Hasn’t Played A Full Season In two Years and After a Setback To His Ankle Surgery Recovery. Who Knows What kind Of Shape He’ll Return To The Field In 2022. Regardless, The Saint Have No Depth Beneath Him. Burks Performed Disappointedly At The Combine With A 4.55 forty Yard Dash. But Turn Type, And He Shows All That 6’2 225 Frame. Three Years Of Starter Quality Production Two Years As A Number One Option. Accumulating Almost 2000 Yards In Two Years. Average 16.9 Yards Per Target Despite Playing Primarily Out Of The Slot. His Size And Build Project Burks To Move The Outside Once In The League.
20) Pittsburgh Steelers-Andrew Booth Jr.
The Steelers Have A Bookend At every Defensive Position But corner. Whiles yea They Can Look To Bolster The Defensive Line, Andrew Booth Jr Has The Most Upside Of At His Position On The Board.
21) New England Patriots-Devin Lloyd, Linebacker, Utah.
The Patriots are One Of The Few Teams That Use a Variety Of Defensive Front And Need A Platoon Of Rotational Line Backer. Devin Lloyd Filled Nearly Every Point On The Off Ball Linebacker Script. “No Balls In His Game.” He Tackled Runners, Playing Coverage and Rush Off The Edge, and the Season Grade 80th Or Better In Each Category.
22) Green Bay Packers (from Las Vegas Raiders)— Trevor Penning, Tackle, Northern Iowa.
I Know The Packers Have To Get A Wide Receiver To Replace Devante Adams. Unfortunately, All Of The First Round Guys are Off The board. Do They Make a Guy Like Christian Watson Out Of North Dakota State? The Packers Need Depth At He Offensive Line. They Played Well Enough Without David Bakhtiari But Need Depth At The Position. Trevor Peening Played Left Tackle As Good as Any Others Prospect In This Draft, If Only At A Small School. At 6’7 333 lbs, he’s Right Up There With Evan Neal In Size And Broke The mold With His Ability To Move At That Size.
23) Arizona Cardinals— Jermaine Johnson, Edge, Florida State.
The Cardinals Lost Chandler Jones In free Agency And can’t Hope To Depend On J.J Watt To Spear Head Their Defensive Front. Jermaine Johnson Can Step In A Fill the Void Left By Chandler Jones. Excellent Edge Setter. Extraordinary Length To Hold up Tackles and Tight end At The Five Tech. Just Kick Him In Gear And Let Him Go.
24) Dallas Cowboys—Kenyon Green, Guard/Tackle, Texas A&M.
The Cowboys Lost a lot Of Depth Along The Offensive Line, An Aspect Of The Offense That’s Been A Hallmark Of The Team For More Than A Decade. Tyron Smith and Zach Martin Are Both 32 This Year. The Team Has To Get Young and Flexible At The Position. Kenyon Green Started The Year At Tackle and The Kick Inside To Guard. Great Frame Quick Mover But Not Explosive. Kenyon Has great Versatility That is Indispensable at the Position.
25) Buffalo Bills— Zion Johnson, Guard Boston College.
The Bill Aren’t Terrible Along The Offensive Line, But They Need Depth And Insurance Behind Daryl Williams And Dion Dawkins. Zion Johnson Has Plug and Play Build and Strength. He Could TakeOver Left Guard Immediately.
26) Tennessee Titans— Bernhard Raiman, Offensive Tackle, Central Michigan.
The Titans Have Some Question To Answer On The Defensive Side Of The Ball, Particularly At Linebacker, and Nakobe Dean Remains On The Board. But the Offensive Line That Struggled To Keep Ryan Tannehill Up Right And Before They Lose left guard Rodger Saffold and Right tackle David Queensberry. The O-line Needed Addressing Before. Bernhard Could Slide Directly In At Right Tackle. A Taller Lighter Build Tackle With Exceptional Strength Despite Weighing In A 303 Lbs.
27) Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Arnold Ebiketie, Edge Penn State.
The Bucs Have Questions At Edge Rusher, Secondary, and Interior Offensive Line. I Like Daxton Hill, a Safety Prospect Out Of Michigan. The Bucs Strength And Depth At Push, That Stood A Season Ago Got Depleted. Ebiketie Has The Athleticism And Reach To Produce Immediately On The Despite Needing Some Technical Enhancement.
28) Green Bay Packers—Jahan Dotson, Wide Receiver, Penn State.
The Packers Will Want Depth At The Receiver Position. They Could Grab George Pickens, The Taller And Rangier Prospect, But Jahan Dotson Offers More As A Route Runner. Slight Frame But A Sleek Mover. He’ll Get Open And Can Win At The Point Of Attack Despite Being 5’11, Under 200 Lbs.
29) Kansas City Chiefs (from San Francisco 49ers through Miami Dolphins)— Daxton Hill Defensive Back, Michigan.
The Chiefs Secondary Exposed In Playoffs. When They Gave Up Explosive Play After Explosive Play. That’s Before They Lost Two Starters. They Can’t Count On The Offense Leveling The Field Anymore. Daxton Hill brings All The Ingredients That Tyran Matthieu Could, With Less Experience. Can Play In The Box, Deep and Moved Down To Defend the Slot.
30) Kansas City Chiefs—Nakobe Dean, Line Backer Georgia.
The Chiefs Need Depth At Linebacker and Coverage Ability All Over The Feild. The Defense Hit History Lows At Points Last Season. Nakobe Dean Has Excellent Awareness of Play In The Middle Or On The Weak Side. He played over 300 Snaps In Coverage And Racked Up 15 Coverage Stop and 2 Force Interceptions. He Then Flipped and Generated 31 Pressure as A Pass Rusher For Georgia.
31) Cincinnati Bengals—Quay Walker, Linebacker Georgia.
The Bengals Have Suspect Depth At Line Backer. Quay Walker Played Alongside Dean In The Middle. The Two Work Almost Interchangeably. With Dean Having the Better Play Recognition and Walker The Better Frame. Walker Played More Of The Attack Role On Blitzes. Then Flex Out To Use His Excellent Mobility To Roamed In Coverage. Above He Rim Type Athlete With Great Tackling Prowess In Space.
32) Detroit Lions (from Los Angeles Rams)—Travis Jones, Defensive Tackle Connecticut.
Only Two Teams Generated Fewer Sacks, Only Three Teams Had A Lower Pass Rush Grade than The Lions, And Nobody had A Overall Worse Grade Defensively. They Got Better On The Edge With Hutchinson. Now they Kick inside With Travis Jones. Another In The Line Of These Agile Big Men. Travis Jones Blast his 327 Lbs. Direct Over Head Of Guards. Much more Than A Space Eater Gap Plugger. Jones’s Exceptional Length and Block Recognition Will Have Opposing Teams B Gaps Sore Of His Presence.
