2022 NFL Mock Draft 1.0
Updated: Sep 6, 2022
With the 2021 NFL season now in the books, all eyes turn towards the offseason. Teams seek to fill the holes on the offensive or defensive side of the ball. Some have more needs than others. In this 2022 NFL Mock Draft, we will do our best to meet those needs.
Jacksonville Jaguars-Evan Neal, OT, Alabama
The Jaguars need to keep Trevor Lawrence on his feet, plain and simple. Neal is the safest tackle prospect in this class. Surprisingly nimble for a man of his size, Neal can protect the blindside of Lawrence, or slide to the right side and form a bookend with Cam Robinson
Detroit Lions-Aidan Hutchinson, Edge, Michigan
The most refined edge rusher of this class, Hamilton can come in and make an immediate impact on a Lions team that was feisty in 2021.
Houston Texans-Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame
The Texans have a lot of needs, so giving them the best player in this draft makes the most sense. Hamilton is the ultimate chess piece, who can be a single high safety, down in the box, slot corner coverage, or even rushing the passer. He will instantly upgrade a subpar Houston defense which could be losing Justin Reid to free agency.
