Now that we know what the first 28 picks are in the 2023 NFL Draft – the order of the last four doesn’t matter that much considering the teams involved and their respective needs – here’s our first look what the whole first round might be.

As always, the mock drafts will change many, many times over before this gets going on April 27th. Until it actually happens and Chicago trades away the No. 1 overall pick – if it trades down to a quarterback-starved team – we’re going to play it straight.

2022 NFL Mock Draft: First Round Prediction After Big Trades

Contact/Follow @ColFootballNews | @PeteFiutak

Well this just got even more interesting.

Philadelphia was the big power player in the first round, and then it traded away the 16 and 19 in the first round – along with a late round pick – to New Orleans for the 18, a first rounder in 2023, and a second rounder in 2024, along with a few later picks this year thrown in.

This might not be the end of the trading fun for New Orleans, but for now, it positioned itself to work even more deals depending on who it’s targeting.

Combine that with Tyreek Hill going to Miami, Davante Adams off to Las Vegas, and with some big Pro Days – LSU CB Derek Stingley just ripped it up – and the first round Mock Draft takes on a different look.

2022 NFL Draft: The latest first round mock draft after several teams made huge quarterback moves in free agency. Now where do the top QB prospects go?

2022 NFL Draft: First Round Mock Draft, Free Agency Version

Contact/Follow @ColFootballNews | @PeteFiutak

Washington really, really needed a quarterback. It got Carson Wentz, and it still needs a quarterback – but it’s not going to take one in the first round.

Pittsburgh really, really needed a quarterback. It got Mitchell Trubisky, and it still needs a quarterback – and his contract is workable enough to go get a top option to build around.

Denver really, really needed a quarterback. It got Russell Wilson, and now Seattle is a player in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Indianapolis landed Matt Ryan from Atlanta, Cleveland got Deshaun Watson,  and the quarterback prospects for the draft are quickly running out of options that make sense.

So what does the first round possibly look like now after teams filled needs through free agency – and not just at quarterback? Here’s the latest NFL mock draft.

And there’s the next step in the process.

It’s not like the NFL Combine should tell any GM or scout anything they didn’t already know, but when a 340-pound defensive tackle runs like a tight end, and when the class of receivers are all ripping off sub-4.4s, there’s a buzz.

The most important part of the NFL Combine is what no one sees – the interviews. The meet-and-greets, the sewing circle scuttlebutt, and the chances to get to know some of the prospects a wee bit make the biggest impact.

And then come the pro days, when the stars show what they can do under ideal conditions with everything staged to make them look perfect.

After all the fun in Indianapolis, how does the 2022 NFL Draft first round look?

Now we know the order after Los Angeles pulled off the thriller over Cincinnati to win the Super Bowl and everyone will react and overreact.

The 2022 draft will come down to two key things: 1) how much does everyone value the relatively mediocre – but wanted – class of quarterbacks, and 2) can the teams at the top trade out of their spots and move down?

There isn’t a sure-thing No. 1 overall pick, and there will be lots and lots of movement.

For this version of the 2022 Mock Draft, we give the call along with a likely second option if the first call doesn’t happen.

32 Detroit Lions (from Los Angeles Rams)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DT Devonte Wyatt, Georgia

Mock Draft Backup Option: QB Sam Howell, North Carolina

Here’s a general call on how Detroit will see this draft – it’s going to find anchors on the defensive front to build around. It’ll get its pass rusher at the 2, and it’s run-stuffer here.

31 Cincinnati Bengals

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Bernhard Raimann, Central Michigan

Mock Draft Backup Option: OT Nicholas Petit-Frere, Ohio State

It’s criminal what defensive fronts did to Joe Burrow this year. He might be the NFL’s new superstar, but he’ll have a shelf life of about ten more minutes if he doesn’t get some protection. Two words: Aaron Donald.

30 Kansas City Chiefs

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT/OG Zion Johnson, Boston College

Mock Draft Backup Option: OT Bernhard Raimann, Central Michigan

Kansas City marches to the beat of its own drafting drummer, but in terms of need, it’s about cranking up options to keep upgrading the offensive line. The running game has been good, but can it take over games late? A masher like Johnson would help.

29 Miami Dolphins (from San Francisco)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Jahan Dotson, Penn State

Mock Draft Backup Option: OT/OG Zion Johnson, Boston College

Dotson might seem like a luxury item for a tam that needs to rebuild the foundation, but if the Dolphins really want to see what Tua Tagovailoa can do, the Penn State deep threat is the call. Defensive backs wouldn’t have a prayer with Jaylen Waddle on the other side.

28 Green Bay Packers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Chris Olave, Ohio State

Mock Draft Backup Option: TE Trey McBride, Colorado State

So, Green Bay. You’re “all in” on trying to keep Aaron Rodgers? Giving him yet another weapon to work with would be a big step, and landing Olave here would be a ridiculous steal.

27 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OG Kenyon Green, Texas A&M

Mock Draft Backup Option: OT/OG Zion Johnson, Boston College

The Bucs have to find a quarterback, but it won’t matter who they get if the offensive line doesn’t get some fresh new options. This should be a sweet spot for a top guard.

26 Tennessee Titans

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Drake London, USC

Mock Draft Backup Option: OG Kenyon Green, Texas A&M

The Titans have to think long and hard about a blocker like Green to help upgrade the line, but they need a dangerous No. 2 wide receiver to help out AJ Brown even more.

25 Buffalo Bills

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE Travon Walker, Georgia 

Mock Draft Backup Option: OG Kenyon Green, Texas A&M

Flip a coin on positions for the Bills here. The defense is already amazing, but it mostly rocked against the mediocre teams. It could use just a wee bit more help up front, but the O line needs attention, too.

24 Dallas Cowboys

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: S Daxton Hill, Michigan

Mock Draft Backup Option: OG Kenyon Green, Texas A&M

Oh will this be a fight among the Cowboy brass. The team has improved by leaps and bounds over the years by boasting one of the league’s best offensive lines, but a top defensive back – primarily a safety – would do more immediate good.

23 Arizona Cardinals

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE Jermaine Johnson, Florida State

Mock Draft Backup Option: DE Travon Walker, Georgia

This becomes the wild card part of the draft. There’s a whole lot happening with the Cardinals right now – Kyler Murray doesn’t appear to be too happy – but the defensive side could use a few more pieces up front.

22 Las Vegas Raiders

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Jameson Williams, Alabama

Mock Draft Backup Option: WR Drake London, USC

Which injured wide receiver will be a Raider? The vertical passing game needs a main man, and either Williams or London will work just fine … eventually.

21 New England Patriots

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: LB Nakobe Dean, Georgia 

Mock Draft Backup Option: TE Trey McBride, Colorado State

Don’t be shocked if the Patriots give Mac Jones his new best friend and safety valve in McBride. However, that should come later. Be afraid of Bill Belichick gets Dean this late in the first round.

20 Pittsburgh Steelers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: C/G Tyler Linderbaum, Iowa

Mock Draft Backup Option: QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Pittsburgh wants a quarterback, and it will probably go with Corral, Malik Willis, or Kenny Pickett if one of them falls here. But it’s Pittsburgh, it values linemen, and that front five needs a whole lot of help. It might start with drafting its center for the next decade.

19 Philadelphia Eagles

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: CB Trent McDuffie, Washington

Mock Draft Backup Option: S Daxton Hill, Michigan

Just assume the Eagles will fill the more pressing needs in the first part of the draft and wait for the best defensive back option here. McDuffie would hard by a bad consolation prize to help the corner situation.

18 New Orleans Saints

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss

Mock Draft Backup Option: CB Trent McDuffie, Washington

Don’t be so sold on the idea of the Saints taking a quarterback here. They need a whole lot of of work in a whole lot of spots, but Corral is the type of all-around baller who might free up a whole lot of possibilities for free agent money going elsewhere.

17 Los Angeles Chargers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DT Jordan Davis, Georgia

Mock Draft Backup Option: CB Trent McDuffie, Washington

Where are the offensive tackles at this point? There’s a shot the Chargers find more help for the offensive front, but they need work in the defensive interior even more.

And now it gets really fun.

The Senior Bowl was the next big step in the process with the workouts and the NFL Scouting Combine – coming March 1st – up next. The Senior Bowl game itself doesn’t really matter, but the practices sure did.

Who generated the biggest buzz around Mobile, and did the week change some things up? Yeah, in a big way.

Here’s the latest edition of our NFL Mock Draft with the deeper dive coming after the Super Bowl next week.

The last two are in alphabetical order depending on who wins the Super Bowl.

31-32 Cincinnati Bengals

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT/OG Zion Johnson, Boston College

This might be a tad bit too early, but for a team that needs more offensive help to protect Joe Cool, Johnson is as solid as they come late in the first. He proved in Mobile he’s ready to handle the work.

31-32 Detroit Lions (from Los Angeles Rams)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: Edge Jermaine Johnson, Florida State

Could the Lions really go with another pass rusher if it goes all in with Kayvon Thibodeaux at the 2? Yup. There won’t be any quarterbacks here to jump on, and Johnson showed this week just how much of a must have he is.

30 Kansas City Chiefs

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Bernard Raimann, Central Michigan

More O line, more O line, more O line. Raimann will be an interesting call. He could slide to the early third, or someone might fall in love and take him in the top 20. The skills are there.

29 Miami Dolphins (from San Francisco)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Jahan Dotson, Penn State

Anything interesting happening in Miami? It’s this simple. No matter what, Miami needs more pop and firepower. Pair the speed of Dotson with Jaylen Waddle, and look out.

28 Green Bay Packers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Chris Olave, Ohio State

This all depends on who’s still around, but no matter what, the Packers need to keep pumping in the receiver options even if Aaron Rodgers isn’t around to enjoy them.

27 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT/OG Kenyon Green, Texas A&M

Obviously the Tampa Bay thing just got funky with the retirement of 12, but that can be fixed in free agency if the Kyle Trask era isn’t about to begin. Green might not be a QB, but he’ll be a solid ten-year pro for the interior line.

26 Tennessee Titans

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Drake London, USC

The Titans need more help around AJ Brown, and Julio Jones just isn’t it. Here’s the big wide receiver to add more pop to the attack.

25 Buffalo Bills

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DT Devonte Wyatt, Georgia

He went from being a first rounder to a must-have first rounder after the Senior Bowl practices before an ankle injury.

24 Dallas Cowboys

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: CB Trent McDuffie, Washington

The Cowboys will take whatever top corner is still on the board. For all of the amazing things Trevon Diggs does, this secondary needs more help.

23 Arizona Cardinals

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: CB Andrew Booth, Clemson

Flip a coin here between Booth and Washington’s Trent McDuffie. There’s a high risk, high reward thing with Booth, but he’ll look fantastic over the next few months in workouts.

22 Las Vegas Raiders

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Charles Cross, Mississippi State

He’ll slide a bit with all of the buzz about Trevor Penning, but the Raiders will need as many offensive linemen as they can get in this draft. They’ll take the best on the board.

21 New England Patriots

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: TE Trey McBride, Colorado State

Bill Belichick might not have a whole lot of luck drafting wide receivers early, but he knows his tight ends. There will never be another Gronk, but McBride has become a must-get safety valve for someone with a young quarterback.

20 Pittsburgh Steelers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: C/G Tyler Linderbaum, Iowa

There’s no way Linderbaum lasts this long … maybe. Interior lineman is a luxury for most of the teams picking in the top 20. The Steelers need a quarterback, but first they’ve got to rebuild the O line to block for Najee. The franchise doesn’t have any luck with centers, does it?

19 Philadelphia Eagles

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: S Daxton Hill, Michigan

Opinions on Hill will be all over the place – he could slide to the early second – but the Eagles need defensive back help, and Hill is a right-pick-right-guy-right-time selection as the team’s third 1st rounder.

18 New Orleans Saints

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: QB Kenny Pickett, Pitt

If it’s not Matt Corral at the 11 to the Commies – uh, Commanders – it’ll be Pickett. He’s a good prospect who’ll be a fine pro, but he’s not going to show off the same pop as Malik Willis in the workout process.

17 Los Angeles Chargers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DT Jordan Davis, Georgia

Take your pick of several good defensive tackles available here. This is the Good Value section for the big guys in the middle.

16 Philadelphia Eagles (from Indianapolis)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Jameson Williams, Alabama

Draft him, wait for the knee to get right, enjoy the payoff. He’s the first receiver off the board if he didn’t tear his ACL in the National Championship.

15 Philadelphia Eagles (from Miami)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE George Karlaftis, Purdue

The Eagles will take a pass rusher with one pick, and a wide receiver with another – assuming they stay put. Karlaftis might not be as flashy as some of the top Edge guys, but he’s a true defensive end who fits.

14 Baltimore Ravens

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa

The Senior Bowl helped cement him as the likely next big tackle off the board after the first wave of stars are gone.

13 Cleveland Browns

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: WR Garrett Wilson, Ohio State

The Browns can work on defensive tackle a little bit later. They need a whole lot more reliable receiving help, and it starts here.

12 Minnesota Vikings

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU

Oh, the process. Stingley seemed like a sure-thing top five overall pick last year at this time, but it’s been a few years since he dominated and he should slide out of the top ten. Minnesota won’t mind.

11 Washington Commanders

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: QB Matt Corral

Flip a coin between Kenny Pickett and Matt Corral. Pickett is the safer, steadier call, but Corral offers more versatility.

10 New York Jets (from Seattle)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: CB Ahmad Gardner, Cincinnati

Yeah, Gardner might be top five once we’re all done with the Mock Draft process, and he could even go to the Jets at 4. They’ve got to improve the secondary, and the best corner on the board does the instantly.

9 Denver Broncos

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: LB Nakobe Dean, Georgia

Where is he going to play, inside or out? It doesn’t matter. He’s a do-it-all-defender who won’t get out of the top ten.

8 Atlanta Falcons

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE David Ojabo, Michigan

Atlanta’s eternal search for more pass rushers continues. The best one on the board is gone in a snap.

7 New York Giants (from Chicago)

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: LB Devin Lloyd, Utah

Assuming the Giants go offensive line with the 5, it’s pass rusher here – unless Kayvon Thibodeaux slides. Lloyd might not be the exact type of pass rushing linebacker the Giants might be looking for, but he’s a force on the inside.

6 Carolina Panthers

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: QB Malik Willis, Liberty

Kenny Pickett ruled the Senior Bowl, but Willis was the one who had everyone talking in the practices. The tools, the talent, the upside, the personality – Willis showed it all to the scouts.

5 New York Giants

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Ikem Ekwonu, NC State

It’s either Ekownu or Evan Neal. Whichever one slides gets snapped up.

4 New York Jets

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame

Defensive back, defensive back, defensive back. Hamilton is the safety everyone will want, but CB Ahmad Gardner out of Cincinnati could go this high.

3 Houston Texans

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: OT Evan Neal, Alabama

He’s not moving past the 3, and he might be No. 1 overall. There’s a chance Detroit – even though it doesn’t need a tackle – could take him and shuffle some things around.

2 Detroit Lions

2022 Mock Draft First Call: DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon

Like Jacksonville, Detroit will likely try to move down out of this pick. Thibodeaux seems the be cooling off, but he’s one big workout away from changing the narrative.

1 Jacksonville Jaguars

2022 Mock Draft Latest Call: DE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan

The Jaguars will push to trade out of the spot, but they need a pass rusher if they stick around.
