Draft Wire’s Natalie Miller delivers her first-round projections for the 2022 NFL draft, complete with a few draft-day trades
The 2022 NFL draft is just a few short days away, which means smokescreen season is in full swing.
This year’s draft may be the hardest to predict in recent memory, with so many different options at the top, and no clear-cut No. 1 prospect. The quarterback class is also weaker than usual, throwing another intriguing wrench into this year’s projections.
As we draw closer to the main event, here’s an updated look at how the first round could play out:

In his only mock draft of the season, Ari Meirov has heard from enough people in the know to predict the Cowboys taking the Texas A&M guard. | From @ToddBrock24f7
The Kenyon Green train is picking up steam as the Cowboys prepare to pull into the 2022 draft day station.
The Texas A&M lineman has been a popular name in Cowboys mock circles all offseason, but the roster is thin in several spots. Seemingly just as pressing to Dallas’s plans this season are a wide receiver who’s ready to go Week 1, a legitimate edge rusher, a starting-quality linebacker, solid tight end depth, and more beef for the interior defensive line.
Add to that lengthy shopping list a very deep collegiate class and a bonkers free agency period that has shaken up multiple rosters with blockbuster trades, and it’s still anybody’s guess what the Cowboys- or practically any NFL team- will do once they’re on the clock Thursday night.
All of which is perhaps why Ari Meirov of Pro Football Focus has made his latest mock draft his only mock draft of 2022. Calling this year’s event “easily one of the most unpredictable drafts in recent memory,” he has nonetheless called his shots for the first round on the basis not of what he thinks teams should do, but rather, “what people around the league and in the know believe will happen.”
Those people are suggesting that the Cowboys will go with the Aggies guard with the 24th selection.
“Starting to inject some youth into the Cowboys’ offensive line feels like a must,” he writes. “Green started at every single offensive line position except center last season, earning a 79.8 PFF grade. He’s interviewed really well with teams throughout the draft process, meeting with most teams in the back-end of Round 1 and top of Round 2. Dallas met with him at the combine and then brought him into its facility as well for a visit. Drafting someone with the versatility to play multiple positions is very enticing to teams.”
It’s likely especially enticing to Dallas, who’s seen a lot of rotation on the O-line over the past couple seasons due to injury, COVID, suspension, and plain old ineffective play.
Plugging the 6-foot-4-inch Green into the Cowboys’ projected starting front as left guard would give the team three of five players who are 25 or younger on opening day, with the other two being perennial Pro Bowlers.

Lions 7-round mock draft mission from @DerekOkrie: Fill needs, draft good players, obtain great value
With only a few days before the 2022 NFL draft officially kicks off in Las Vegas, it seems like the perfect time for yet another Detroit Lions mock draft.
Throughout the process, there are a ton of mock drafts completed by all types of experts, but it is always fun to see who your local team might come away with once these simulations are complete.
In this mock draft, there was a mission and it was simply this: fill needs, draft good players, and obtain great value.
Filling needs and drafting good players are self-explanatory and obvious goals, but the key part comes in the “obtain good value” portion of the mission statement. Good value with each pick is key in the NFL draft and that is getting players that will help your football team, but getting the most value out of each of those picks based on who you select and when.
Heading in with glaring needs such as defensive end, safety, wide receiver, linebacker, defensive tackle, cornerback, quarterback, and tight end. The depth of this draft appears to be along the defensive line, offensive line and pass catchers for the most part. To accomplish our mission, let’s try to marry the needs by trying to fill some of those early with game-changers, look for good football players throughout, and then as the draft progresses, wait on certain spots in hopes to find the best value possible.
Let’s go.
