With just under two weeks away until the 2022 NFL draft in Las Vegas, teams are starting to finalize their big boards for the event.
For former UNC football standout [autotag]Sam Howell,[/autotag] his draft stock appears to be all over the place ranking from a first-round pick to potentially a third-round pick on Day 2. And the latest mock draft from Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN isn’t great news for Howell’s stock.
Kiper Jr. released his mock earlier this week, picking the first two rounds of the draft. The bad news for Howell is that Kiper doesn’t have him listed with one of the first 64 picks, meaning his stock is starting to fall.
The mock draft has four quarterbacks taken in the first two rounds with Malik Willis going No. 6 overall to Carolina, Kenny Pickett No. 20 overall to Pittsburgh, Desmond Ridder No. 40 to Seattle and Matt Corral No. 49 to the Saints.
Now, this is just one mock draft and one opinion but the trend for Howell lately isn’t great. Let’s hope that a team takes a chance on him early come April’s draft.
