Assorted 2022 NFL Mock Drafts

[reuben]

The All-Playoff Mock Draft:

4 Evan Neal OT | Alabama

8 David Ojabo EDGE | Michigan

35 Myjai Sanders EDGE | Cincinnati

40 Nakobe Dean LB | Georgia

68 John Metchie III WR | Alabama

110 Channing Tindall LB | Georgia

121 Josh Whyle TE | Cincinnati

145 James Cook RB | Georgia

158 Brad Hawkins S | Michigan

[Heismanberg]

Dean and Tindall would change this defense in a hurry.  Those are the two fastest front seven players in college football right now.

I need to watch more of Charles Cross but he might be a better fit for us than Neal.  Same goes for Icky Ekwonu. 

[Heismanberg]

Channing Tindall and Cameron Thomas are my two favorite defensive players in this draft class. 

[MBGreen]

With the Jets other 1st rounder moving up to #6...i decided to do another mock.  This included one trade,  I traded that #6 pick to Denver for #11 and their 2nd rounder (#42).


4. Kayvon Thibodeaux - EDGE Oregon

11. Tyler Linderbaum - OC Iowa

35. Jalen Wydermyer - TE Texas A&M

38. Brandon Smith - LB Penn State

42. Jordan Battle - S Alabama

69. Kyren Williams - RB Notre Dame

109. Jaxson Kirkland - OG Washington

115. Channing Tindall - LB Georgia

145. George Pickens - WR Georgia

158. Ifeanyi Maijeh - DT Rutgers

[Heismanberg]

I'm a little down on Wydermyer.  He drops a ton of passes, but he'd be a solid pick in the fourth round or later.  If we go TE early, it has to be McBride. 

George Pickens is a first rounder if healthy.  Tindall would be a gamechanger for the front seven. 

Kyren Williams is my favorite RB to pair with Michael Carter.  I hope we bring back Coleman too. 

[Heismanberg]

Completed two mock drafts on TDN. 

No EDGE in the 1st Round:

Ikem Ekwonu - OG - NC State
Jameson Williams - WR - Alabama
Jermaine Johnson - EDGE - Florida State
Daxton Hill - S - Michigan
Trey McBride - TE - Colorado State
Coby Bryant - CB - Cincinnati
Channing Tindall - LB - Georgia
Justyn Ross - WR - Clemson
Cole Turner - TE - Nevada

Two defensive starters in the second round, plus McBride slid into the third. 

EDGE in the 1st Round:

George Karlaftis - EDGE - Purdue
Jameson Williams - WR - Alabama
Sauce Gardner - CB - Cincinnati
Zion Johnson - IOL - Boston College
Isaiah Spiller - RB - Texas A&M
Tariq Woolen - CB - UTSA
Channing Tindall - LB - Georgia
Cole Turner - TE - Nevada
Charlie Kolar - TE - Iowa State

TEs came off the board earlier on this one, so I went with Isaiah Spiller in that spot.  If we're following the Bengals blueprint, he'd be our Joe Mixon.

I saw EDGE - Florida and before I read State I just imagined the entire board imploding if we drafted a DL from Florida again. Man that would be amazing.

Did you take Williams over Burks in both?

[Heismanberg]

I did

[Derek Smalls]

I'm curious why you would rank Burks over Williams and then draft Williams over Burks for the Jets.

Better fit?

Yes, a better fit in the scheme.  We need deep speed.

Jameson Williams vs. Sauce Gardner in the playoff is huge.  Williams cooks him and Bryant a few times and he's WR1. 

[Heismanberg]

I obviously love Burks, but this team needs a big play threat.  Burks is more of a possession YAC type that occasionally wins deep if he gets a good matchup.

So I’m terms of our offense, Corey Davis’ role, but (hopefully) better at it.

Very similar, but Burks is good in the screen game too.  Those little swings we throw to Berrios...Burks can do that at a high level.

But essentially not enough of an upgrade to the offense to warrant both containing to pay Davis and using a top 10 pick on.
