Assorted 2022 NFL Mock Drafts

[Andrew Ryan]

For the right guy? Certainly. Especially if we can get some assets back in an earlier trade down.

We just need to get this damn off-season right

Thibodeaux, Stingley, and London might be my dream haul.

We've got the resources to make that happen.

No way gardner makes it to 10

[CatoTheElder]

I don't like two defensive players in the first round.

Even if we trade back into the first for a receiver/offensive linemen?

Can live with it if the players involved are
Hutch, Thibs, Walker
Gardner, Stingley, Hamilton

Same. The moves we make in free agency will affect what we're comfortable with in the draft.

[Derek Smalls]

Free agency starts in a few days, so at this point, we can wait to make a positional game plan.

It does seem like mid-late round 1 is where a WR run may happen. But I also think we will be able to get someone good at 35 if we are patient. Douglas can see how the board is falling come draft day. Last year, he let Elijah fall into his lap.

Not particularly. I'd rather use either 4, or 10, probably 10, on one of the top WRs.

None of the receivers are worth 4. 10 is fine.

Which is why I specified.

I have this fear that Thibs drops to us...grab him and he turns out to be Gholston 2.0

PTSD from being a Jets fan

I'm guessing 4 is now automatically BPA on defense. Thibs, Hutch, Sauce, Stingley, Hamilton or Walker.

Don't love the idea of Hamilton obviously. Less keen on Walker at the moment than some here just due to a lack of overall passrush production. Stingley's injuries concern me.

If thibs or hutch aren't there, I'd hope for a trade back.

Why would anyone be moving up in that case?

I can’t see a realistic scenario (unless someone loses their mind for a QB) where 4 isn’t a stick and pick. To me there are 2 real options that will reasonably be available:

Travon Walker
Sauce Gardner

I don’t think either will realistically still be on the board at 10 so to me you take the guy with the chance to have more impact on the game, Walker.

Has Walker really proven to be that impact player yet? From what I’ve seen, he’s flashed and been a good player, but I don’t really think he’s been that impact passrusher that we are hoping for with the 4th overall pick. Seems like a lot of projection there, which is fine, but not sure I’m thrilled with that at #4.

I think I’d prefer one of the CBs.

See I think that you could potentially get CB 1 at 10, but more likely you will have your choice between McDuffie and Stingley at 10. At edge, you are at best looking at edge 4, and possibly edge 5 or 6. Which is why I would take Walker at 4 and hope like hell Sauce falls to 10.
