Instead, they opt to fill their desperate need at offensive tackle with Cross, who has all the physical tools and potential to be the best of this years impressive class at the position. Neal's athleticism will shine at the NFL Scouting Combine, adding another feather in his cap after he excelled at three positions (left guard as a freshman, right tackle in 2020, left tackle in 2021) in three years at Alabama. Willis has the athleticism, toughness physically and mentally to fit well in their scheme and carries more overall upside than Pickett. Lloyd was impressive during the '21 season and nothing changed at the combine. Kansas City*: Sam Williams, EDGE, Ole Miss104. section: | slug: 2022-three-round-nfl-mock-draft-kenny-pickett-falls-packers-chiefs-load-up-on-wrs | sport: football | route: article_single_special | Pittsburgh Steelers | Purdue WR David Bell, 85.

The Buccaneers aren't sure about Rob Gronkowski's future with the team and need some depth anyway with O.J.

Ohio State Dallas Cowboys | USC EDGE Drake Jackson, 57. New England: Christian Harris, LB, Alabama55. Just like the other New York team, the Jets hit both of their top-10 picks out of the park, landing great value at multiple positions of need. Baltimore Ravens | Memphis OL Dylan Parham, 77. TreDavious White is one of the NFLs best corners, but especially after letting Levi Wallace walk in free agency, the Bills desperately need an upgrade on the other side of the field. Los Angeles Rams | Minnesota OT Daniel Faalele, 105. 8 last year, why would they use a higher pick on a worse prospect this year? Main Team Focus Wed, 27 Apr 22 11:00:27 +0000. And while he played on the best defense in the country, don't get it twisted -- he didn't ride on the coattails of a dominant Georgia defensive line -- Dean was a huge reason for their success. Theres likely to be some spirited debate in this draft room, but at the end of the day, common sense should win out. The Bucs could lose erstwhile veteran center Ryan Jensen in free agency. 2022 NFL Mock Draft: 3-rounds with surprise blockbuster trades. The Falcons might have the least talented roster in the NFL right now, so they could go anywhere with this pick. After trading away Davante Adams, the Packers should spend this pick trying to replace him. And if Tyler Linderbaum is still on the board, this is a layup for the front office. Davis no doubt eats up space against the run but he's also shown the athleticism to be disruptive as an interior pass rusher in the right scheme, which Baltimore has for him. After losing Chandler Jones, though, the most glaring is the absence of an elite edge rusher, something Ebiketie could quickly become. Williams tore his ACL in the national title game, but at full strength, hes an explosive weapon who could take the Houston offense to another level. NFL footage NFL Productions LLC. They address the pass rush with this pick, adding one of this years most complete defenders in Karlaftis, who can anchor against the run, and collapse the pocket with power and solid technique. The biggest question is if he can keep his weight down, which directly correlates to his stamina, and his ability to stay on the field. Jones can provide that and can displace Lucas Niang on the right side in not too long with improved run blocking. Cleveland Browns | San Diego State EDGE Cameron Thomas, 79. The Colts need to better protect new starting quarterback Matt Ryan by better replacing left tackle Eric Fisher. After getting a new WR1 for Rodgers, the Packers should spend this pick improving his protection. The Patriots traded Stephon Gilmore to the Panthers in the middle of last season and also didn't re-sign J.C. Jackson, who cashed in with the Chargers. The Seahawks need a quarterback, but Pickett doesnt feel like a great fit here. He didn't give up a single TD during his career and in '21 he was as close to shutdown as you're going to see in this class. Baltimore Ravens | Nebraska OL Cam Jurgens, 77. And if Sean Payton liked the idea of Taysom Hill in that role, Dennis Allen will love Corral's potential. Alabama He remains a ball hawk, not to mention an asset in the return game and he'll only last this long because hasn't played a lot of football in the last 12 months. 6'4" Please check your email for a confirmation. Seattle: Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State42. They would be thrilled, if they don't trade down, to have Stingley still available with the Gardner rise.

Tony Pauline's 3-Round 2022 NFL Mock Draft: Jaguars pick Travon Walker first overall, Kenny Pickett and Malik Willis go back-to-back Barely 24 hours before the 2022 NFL Draft officially kicks off, here's my annual 3-Round 2022 NFL Mock Draft. USC Atlanta: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina44. /*--> Metchie would fit the bill as the ideal speedy No. Tennessee Titans | Penn State WR Jahan Dotson, 27. Hes got a rare combination of size, length and athleticism, and didnt give up a single touchdown in college. This is a popular spot for the first quarterback, and its easy to see why. The Bears should consider an upside tackle to potentially help Justin Fields given Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom have proved to be shaky bookends. Denver: Alontae Taylor, CB, Tennessee76. The Seahawks need a quarterback, but Pickett doesnt feel like a great fit here. In the end, the mock remains an exercise in trying to consider the myriad possibilities with most picks. Some might expect a quarterback here, but Im betting the Lions would prefer to build out the rest of the roster before looking for Jared Goffs eventual replacement. Pittsburgh Steelers | Purdue WR David Bell, 85. New York Giants | Virginia TE Jelani Woods, 69. Elam would fit the need nicely for Lovie Smith and is sometimes explosive in making plays on the ball. Raimann is older than youd like a first-round pick to be (turns 25 in September), but hes a pro-ready blocker who could start from Day 1 and perform at a high level. Houston: Marcus Jones, CB, Houston69. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Washington TE Cade Otton, 92. Los Angeles Chargers | South Alabama WR Jalen Tolbert, 80. If Jason Kelce does not return for 2022, Linderbaum would make for an excellent replacement.

What a win for the Vikings, who land arguably the best overall prospect in the entire draft, outside of the top 10 picks. Dallas Cowboys | Texas A&M OL Kenyon Green. There are plenty of other needs on this roster, but Gardner is the best value. Bryant, named after the NBA legend, complemented Gardner well with smart, strong coverage. Atlanta Falcons | Western Michigan WR Skyy Moore, 44. Rhyan can provide that with his strong run blocking. New York Jets | Cincinnati CB Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner, 5. Lloyd steps into the middle of the Giants' defense, providing run-stopping ability but also the athleticism to work in coverage and attack the passer. LA Chargers: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State80. The Jets will love having him on the back end to complement Thibodeaux as part of their new-look secondary. It's easy to say Davis is a two-down player but his obvious strength and surprising speed make a legit three-down threat who just needs to refine his pass-rush arsenal beyond the bull rush. They can afford to be patient with the explosive and relentless Ojabo returning from a ruptured Achilles' suffered at Michigan's pro day. New York Giants | Georgia LB Quay Walker, 37. The first wave of NFL free agency is almost over and team needs are all but finalized, which means its time to cast an eye to the upcoming NFL Draft.. Walker can add a more consistent rushing element to their offense. / 320 lbs. Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State (5-11, 217 pounds). 6'2" With Jayon Brown and Rashaan Evans due to reach free agency, finding a bargain like Dean available here is a bonus. The Rams have become thin at corner opposite Jalen Ramsey with Josh Hill and Darious Williams leaving in free agency the past two seasons and Jobe is a nice way to address that. Washington Commanders (from IND) | Penn State S Jaquan Brisker, 48. Olave is the most polished and pro-ready prospect in this years deep receiver class, and his skill set would be the perfect fir for New Orleans. It feels like just last week that five quarterbacks were selected. They could use a powerful presence such as Winfrey, who also has a nice wingspan. The Jets, however, already are going for ceiling over floor with Thibodeaux so they might as well get a double dosee of it. Minnesota Vikings | Tennessee DL Matthew Butler, 78. Check out the full first-round projection, 1-31. Jacksonville Jaguars (from CAR) | UCLA TE Greg Dulcich, 71. Cleveland: Greg Dulcich, TE, UCLA79. Seattle (via DEN): Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota41.

The Eagles could go wide receiver here, but they should still have plenty of strong options at No. Jacksonville Jaguars | UCLA TE Greg Dulcich, 66. Hamiltons slow 40-yard dash might scare some folks off, but the film proves hes one of the most dangerous weapons in this years class, regardless of position. Cross can be an absolute upfield thumper against the run with keen blitzing efficiency. Stingley didn't workout at the combine but lit it up at his pro day last week. / 350 lbs. Johnson is this years best interior blocker, with the impressive blend of athleticism, power and intelligence that would make him an instant upgrade at guard. He has flashed on tape, but he also played on a Georgia defense that could end up with 4-5 first-round picks, and his combine performance -- a 4.51 40, a vertical of 35.5 inches and a mind-boggling 3-cone of 6.89 seconds -- only reminded people of why he has a chance to be special. Penning is extremely raw, but has all the physical traits to become a dominant left tackle, something the Saints need after losing Terron Armstead in free agency. While some might expect Pickett here, Im betting the Saints would prefer to fill other holes on offense, and hope for the best with Jameis Winston for now. The Saints desperately missed the production Trey Hendrickson opposite Cameron Jordan and Johnson can be either a key situational asset or push Marcus Davenport back into that role. / 261 lbs. Williams has a wide array of quick moves to be a good situational player for them at first behind Odafe Oweh and Tyus Bowser.

Whatever Dotson lacks in size, he makes up for in every other area of his game as one of this years most complete pass-catchers. 1 overall.

Houston Texans | Michigan EDGE David Ojabo, 38. It's a great start, of course, especially for a team that hasn't used a first-rounder on a WR since 2002. Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State (5-11, 183 pounds). 3. Tampa Bay: Justin Shaffer, OG, Georgia92. If the former Georgia linebacker outperforms expectations at the NFL Scouting Combine, he will be long gone by this pick. 80.

Philadelphia Eagles (from Saints, compensatory). Liberty With Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith looming as potential cap casualties, the Packers might need a powerful edge player to complement Rashan Gary. Philadelphia Eagles | Baylor DB Jalen Pitre, 52. This time, they draft Alabama linebacker Christian Harris. Every receiver on the Texans' roster except Nico Collins has just one year left on their deal. Jacksonville Jaguars (from CAR) | Memphis OL Dylan Parham, 71. Davis is a rare athlete for his massive frame, and could have the same kind of impact Haloti Ngata did in for nearly a decade in Baltimore. The Bucs desperately need to add explosiveness and pass-rushing ability next to Vita Vea up front, even if Ndamukong Suh returns for another year. New Orleans Saints | Wisconsin LB Leo Chenal, 99. He's worth the investment at this point of the first round. Kansas City Chiefs | Virginia TE Jelani Woods, 63. Texas A&M Pittsburgh Steelers | UConn DL Travis Jones, 53. Detroit Lions | Georgia WR George Pickens, 36. Likely has some explosive pass-catching qualities and is rounding out well with his blocking potential. Denver Broncos (from LAR) | Houston CB Marcus Jones, 97. Georgia has been a factory for top-flight backs and Cook may not be a natural workhorse like his older brother Dalvin, but he has share of explosive qualities. He's the best player in this class and talk that he has already reached his ceiling is just that. But he is another player who changed some minds with his Senior Bowl week and he continued to convince folks of his first-round talents by putting on a show at the combine. Burks is big, athletic and physical, with impressive leaping ability that led to some highlight-reel catches against SEC competition. Robert Saleh got used to Jimmie Ward being a versatile cover man for the 49ers and he can find his own version to help him in zone with great smarts and instincts and hold down the nickel well against run and pass. Since TSN's lone seven-round mock, there have been good reasons to shake up many of the projected selections, starting near the top of Round 1. With Davis off the board to potentially beef up their defensive line, the Chargers have an easy pivot to thinking about their interior offensive line, where right guard is a big weakness next to solid veterans Matt Feiler and Corey Linsley. He can be a dominant force at a premium position. The Steelers lost big slot JuJu Smith-Schuster in free agency and can replace him well with Bell, who offers strength, physicality and some big-play ability. The Chiefs need to beef up their defensive front minus Jarran Reed and Steve Spagnuolo can use Bulter in a variety of effective rotational roles because of his smarts and versatility. Brown. Sanders has become polarizing as a prospect because of his boom-or-bust freaky flashy pass-rush skills. [CDATA[/* >
