NFL Draft 2022 Preview
The nation’s top college football players await their names getting called by NFL teams on Thursday night through Saturday in the seven-round draft.
NFL teams likely won’t find a future franchise quarterback in this draft, but two could go in the first round — Pitt’s Kenny Pickett and Liberty’s Malik Willis — according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Other notable quarterbacks to watch for later in the draft include Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder, Ole Miss’ Matt Corral, and Nevada’s Carson Strong according to ESPN’s rankings.
From all of us at Liberty:
Thank you, @MalikWillis
This year’s draft has talent in the trenches led by Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and Georgia defensive end Travon Walker, the most likely candidates for the No. 1 pick. Hutchinson dominated in 2021 with 14 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss. Walker had six sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss as he helped Georgia win a national title.
“The belief around the league is Jacksonville prefers the upside and traits of Walker over the proven production, motor and leadership that Hutchinson brings to the table,” ESPN’s Todd McShay wrote. “And it is nearly a lock that one of them will come off the board first.”
A non-College Football Playoff team fields two of the top receivers in the draft. Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave could be the first two wideouts off the board. Other receivers to watch for include Alabama’s Jameson Williams, USC’s Drake London, Arkansas Treylon Burks, Penn State’s Jahan Dotson, North Dakota State’s Christian Watson, and Western Michigan’s Skyy Moore.
A running back could come off the board on Thursday night in the first round, but teams likely start taking them in the second and third rounds. Top running backs to watch for include Iowa State’s Breece Hall, Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker III, and Georgia’s Zamir White and James Cook. Former NFL star running back Maurice Jones-Drew, now an NFL.com Analyst, listed those four as “day one starters” for prospective teams. Cook, notably is the younger brother of Minnesota Vikings star running back Dalvin Cook.
JAMES COOK. WR1.
