2022 Latest Mock Draft Post-Super Bowl Top 16 Picks
16 Philadelphia Eagles (from Indianapolis)
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Treylon Burks, Arkansas
Mock Draft Backup Option: WR Jameson Williams, Alabama
The order doesn’t really matter, but the Eagles will likely go with a wide receiver with one of these mid-round picks. Williams is the shot for the stars, but Burks is the guy for the right now who can draw a whole lot of attention away from DeVonta Smith.
15 Philadelphia Eagles (from Miami)
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE George Karlaftis, Purdue
Mock Draft Backup Option: WR Treylon Burks, Arkansas
The Eagles have the luxury of going with the best player available here along with the 16. They can wait for their defensive back at the 19, so they’ll go pass rusher with one pick and wide receiver with the other.
14 Baltimore Ravens
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa
Mock Draft Backup Option: DT Jordan Davis, Georgia
Penning turned into a must-have over the last few weeks, but there are other offensive tackle options available. Don’t count out Iowa’s Tyler Linderbaum for the offensive interior, or the Ravens might turn to the defensive front depending on who’s still around.
13 Cleveland Browns
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Garrett Wilson, Ohio State
Mock Draft Backup Option: WR Treylon Burks, Arkansas
It’s an absolute must to go heavy on wide receivers throughout the draft. Cleveland has to come up with a reliable No. 1 target who can help bring the firepower.
12 Minnesota Vikings
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU
Mock Draft Backup Option: DE George Karlaftis, Purdue
Minnesota has to upgrade the secondary, especially at corner. Nothing else starts to work until that happens, but it probably won’t overdraft for the spot if there’s a decent pass rusher on the board.
11 Washington Commanders
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: QB Kenny Pickett, Pitt
Mock Draft Backup Option: CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU
Don’t just automatically assume it’s going to be a quarterback here if the top corners are still around. Taylor Heinicke isn’t really that bad and there’s going to be great value at the 11.
10 New York Jets (from Seattle)
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: CB Ahmad Gardner, Cincinnati
Mock Draft Backup Option: CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU
No, the Jet coaching staff and brass might not be all that interested in investing a high pick on a defensive back. That’s nice, but with so much talent on the board and the ability to change the situation with one pick, Sauce Gardner is too good to pass up.
9 Denver Broncos
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: LB Devin Lloyd, Utah
Mock Draft Backup Option: QB Kenny Pickett, Pitt
This goes with the assumption that Denver figures out its quarterback situation in the free agency market. It needs more help for both lines, but Lloyd might just be the leader this defense needs for the next several years.
8 Atlanta Falcons
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE David Ojabo, Michigan
Mock Draft Backup Option: S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame
Assuming this scenario plays out, the Falcons will be more than happy to take Ojabo if he’s still there. However, let’s say Malik Willis and Charles Cross are still on the board – then things change. Atlanta is in a fantastic spot here.
7 New York Giants (from Chicago)
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame
Mock Draft Backup Option: DE David Ojabo, Michigan
So here’s the good problem. The Giants have to take an edge rusher and a few will be right there for the grabbing. But Kyle Hamilton might just be the best football player in this draft. Flip a coin on Hamilton and Ojabo if both are there.
6 Carolina Panthers
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: QB Malik Willis, Liberty
Mock Draft Backup Option: S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame
Willis is a risk. He’s got the tools, the upside, and the spark to change around the entire franchise, but the 6 might be way rich. After Senior Bowl week, the spotlight is on to take the honor of being the No. 1 QB off the board.
5 New York Giants
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Charles Cross, Mississippi State
Mock Draft Backup Option: DE David Ojabo, Michigan
Cross would be a tad bit of a reach here, but it’s also buying the relative need pick now with the desperate need pick of an edge rusher likely to be there at the 7.
4 New York Jets
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Ikem Ekwonu, NC State
Mock Draft Backup Option: S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame
Now the draft starts to get funky. The Jets really, really, really need defensive backs, but the coaching staff doesn’t appear to be too interested in paying for one at the 4. They’ll build up the foundation to help Zach Wilson.
3 Houston Texans
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon
Mock Draft Backup Option: DE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan
And let’s throw in Evan Neal as a third option. Jacksonville and Detroit will do what they’ll do, and Houston will do what it has to do – take the best player it can possibly get.
2 Detroit Lions
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan
Mock Draft Backup Option: OT Evan Neal, Alabama
If Detroit stays at the 2, it takes whatever Jacksonville doesn’t. Does it need an offensive tackle? Not really, but Neal would open up a whole lot of possibilities. Of course, it stinks that it has the 2 in a year without a worthy quarterback for the slot.
1 Jacksonville Jaguars
2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Evan Neal, Alabama
Mock Draft Backup Option: DE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan
The Jaguars might try to trade out of this pick, but there’s not a typically obvious No. 1. A pass rusher would be nice, but the foundation offensively tackle to help Trevor Lawrence and company is a necessity.
