2022 NFL Mock Draft
Here is my take on a NFL Mock Draft. I am not smart enough to comprehend mock trades so the order is what it is as of today.
I will give a short description of the pick to let you know how I really feel. Please note I did this while having a couple pops so spelling and grammar are not the best.
1) Jacksonville Jaguars
Aidan Hutchinson — Michigan
You know what could save the Jags franchise? Not the poor mans Bosa brother but they do it anyways.
2) Detroit Lions
Malik Willis — Liberty
Although I think they trade the pick, I think Lions fans will be excited what this guy can do. Or he could a huge bust.
3) Houston Texans
Ickey Ekwonu
Smart pick. They get their bookend tackles and they will continue to draft in the Top 10 until the earth gets hit by a meteorite.
4) New York Jets
Jermaine Johnson II — ICC/Florida State
The Jason Brown Last Chance U product goes here and will be very average for a 12 year NFL career.
5) New York Giants
Evan Neal — Alabama
This guy this same height and weight of a Coke Machine. Much needed and will give Saquon a chance at a NFL career.
6) Carolina Panthers
Kenny Pickett — Pittsburgh
As a Panthers fan, I want them to take a tackle but they take Kenny and his tiny hands. Major boom or bust pick.
7) New York Giants (from Chicago Bears)
Kyle Hamilton — Notre Dame
Generational talent at Safety. God hopes the giants and their special teams head coach don’t make him hate the team (See Landon Collins)
8) Atlanta Falcons
Kayvon Thibodeaux — Oregon
The Falcons don’t have anyone to throw to but this pick could either be the best pick of the draft or a historic bust, there is no inbetween.
9) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver Broncos)
Charles Cross — Mississippi State
This guy is monster and is great for whichever popcorn vendor they have play QB.
10) New York Jets (from Seattle Seahawks)
Sauce Gardner — Cincinnati
The better version of Jalen Ramsey makes up for their HUGE reach with their 4th pick.
11) Washington Commanders
Derek Stingley Jr. — LSU
Solid corner to deal with their downright terrible name for a football team.
12) Minnesota Vikings
Andrew Booth Jr. — Clemson
Could be very good but also could be another run of the mill corner the Vikings use for 4 years and let go.
13) Houston Texans (from Cleveland Browns)
Jamseson Williams — Alabama
The guy who transferred for playing time goes off the board before his former teammates. Suck on that one Ohio State
14) Baltimore Ravens
Trent McDuffie — Washington
Great name, the 4th best corner in this draft…at best
15) Philadelphia Eagles (from Miami Dolphins)
Devin Lloyd — Utah
Decent linebacker but the Eagles will continue to miss on draft picks. Look for a late round linebacker taken to become a hall of famer.
16) New Orleans Saints (from Indianapolis Colts through Philadelphia Eagles)
Garrett Wilson — Ohio State
Good pick here but good luck catching whatever Jameis or their backup tightend (Taysom Hill) throw into the stands every other play.
17) Los Angeles Chargers
Jordan Davis — Georgia
This guy blocks out the sun. 6'7 340 pounds. Even if he can’t move, he is still a fantastic defensive tackle
18) Philadelphia Eagles (from New Orleans Saints)
Treylon Burks — Arkansas
A decent receiver but the Eagles miss big here especially with the production that comes from later picks.
19) New Orleans Saints (from Philadelphia Eagles)
George Karlaftis — Purdue
Is this a need for the Saints? No. But the value is too good and this guy’s name sounds like a Roman philosopher.
20) Pittsburgh Steelers
Desmond Ridder — Cincinnati
Panic QB pick and Mitch Trubisky ends up taking over as the franchise QB. Also, Big Ben ran like he was running through Maple Syrup the last 4 years.
21) New England Patriots
Drake London — USC
Adds to the stable of wide receivers for Mac Jones. None are that good but someone has to catch the ball.
22) Green Bay Packers (from Las Vegas Raiders)
Chris Olave — Ohio State
A speedster that can actually catch (looking at you MVS). Makes Aaron Rodgers happier than the time he drank Ayahuasca Tea with his Shaman to give him his Covid vaccine.
23) Arizona Cardinals
Zion Johnson — Boston College
Some protection for baby yoda (Kyler). Safe-ish pick unless he pulls a Boston College/Luke Kuechly move and retires almost immediately.
24) Dallas Cowboys
Bernhard Raimann — Central Michigan
Other than playing dogsh*t opponents and having a horribly spelt name, this guy should be able to accidentally be good in Dallas.
25) Buffalo Bills
Devonte Wyatt — Georgia
This guy can play a couple positions along the line which will be good for his rookie contract before he gets paid elsewhere. Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs are having a Scrooge McDuck money pool party at the moment.
26) Tennessee Titans
Trevor Penning — Northern Iowa
The last guy you would ever want to fight in a bar, this guy is mean…and a pretty good ball player. Between him and Lewan, they could are fixing to get kicked out of an Arby’s.
27) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sam Howell — North Carolina
Tom Brady’s swan song is going to last a couple years but Sam Howell has the tools to pick up where he left off. Bucs fans will hate it but this could be the next Rodgers/Favre scenerio.
28) Green Bay Packers
Darian Kinnard — Kentucky
Who? This is the guy that Aaron Rodgers will make look really good at tackle or guard if he moves inside.
29) Kansas City Chiefs (from San Francisco 49ers through Miami Dolphins)
Jahan Dotson — Penn State
The Chiefs need someone to throw the ball to that isn’t juju. Juju, Jackson Mahomes, and Brittany Mahomes will be the most hated trio since Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini for you history buffs.
30) Kansas City Chiefs
Travon Walker — Georgia
Makes up for the huge reach, with a massive steal. He will be great until money needs to trade hands and the Chiefs realize they need to pay a guy that literally owns part of the Kansas City Royals.
31) Cincinnati Bengals
Tyler Linderbaum — Iowa
Although he has what some would call “baby arms”, this is a homerun pick for making sure that Joey Burrow does not die after he snaps the ball.
32) Detroit Lions (from Los Angeles Rams)
Nakobe Dean — Georgia
This is a rock solid pick although I think someone trades with them to move up and grab a QB or RB. This guy has the Dan Cambell mentality of eating nails for breakfast.
Who did I miss?
