NFL mock drafts 2022 Compare latest from Mel Kiper Jr. Todd McShay Daniel Jeremiah other experts
Yes, there is a draft in here. In fact, there are several.With the NFL cooling off from free agency Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey before it reheats for the 2022 NFL Draft, the constant shuffling at the top of the board continues. The general consensus (with one notable exception) is that Georgia's Travon Walker will go No. 1 overall to the Jaguars following the team's extension of left tackle Cam Robinson. Beyond that is anyone's gue s.With the NFL franchise tag deadline come and gone, the blockbuster trades of Deshaun Watson and Ru sell Wilson completed and free agency started and other prominent trades completed, the NFL Draft is the next tentpole in the offseason.MORE NFL DRAFT: The predraft proce s has revealed that meteoric rise for Walker, as well as Mi si sippi State tackle Charles Cro s and diminishing faith in quarterbacks such as Kenny Pickett and Malik Willis.Here's how six of the latest mock drafts from TSN's Vinnie Iyer, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis and The Athletic's Dane Brugler stack up:Iyer's latest mock draft April 28:PickTeamPlayerPositionSchool1Jacksonville JaguarsAidan HutchinsonEDGEMichigan2Detroit LionsKyle HamiltonSNotre Dame3Houston TexansEvan NealOTAlabama4New York JetsKayvon ThibodeauxEDGEOregon5New York GiantsIkem EkwonuOT/GN.C.

The two have different skill sets that fit the Packers' offense perfectly. The Eagles grab a new quarterback, courtesy of the Lincoln Highway, selecting Pitt's Kenny Pickett with the No. 15 pick. The Chiefs do their best to mitigate the exit of Tyreek Hill by drafting Arkansas' Treylon Burks with the 29th overall pick.:PickTeamPlayerPositionSchool1Jacksonville JaguarsTravon WalkerDEGeorgia2Detroit LionsAidan HutchinsonDEMichigan3Houston TexansIkem EkwonuOTN.C.

That would certainly be a disappointment for someone many considered the preseason No. 1 overall prospect. Pickett is the first quarterback off the board, at 19. The last time the first QB off the board came outside the top 15 was in 2013, when the Bills selected Florida State's EJ Manuel at 16. You'd have to go back to the 1997 draft to find the first QB taken lower: Jim Druckenmiller, who went 26th overall to the 49ers. The Packers draft a wide receiver to replace Davante Adams, taking North Dakota State's Christian Watson at No. 28.

The Texans move back and take tackle/guard Tyler Smith of Tulsa. Iowa State running back Breece Hall goes in the first round, at No. 25 overall to the Bills. Most mock drafts list him as an early-to-mid second-rounder. Like Kiper, McShay does not expect a quarterback to be taken high in the first round. The first such selection is Willis, at No. 20 overall to the Steelers. The only other quarterback in his first-round mock is Pickett, taken with the 32nd overall pick by the Lions. McShay predicts Georgia will tie Miami's 2004 and Alabama's 2021 draft cla ses with six players taken in the first round but without linebacker Nakobe Dean. That includes three of the last five picks with Cine, Pickens and Walker.The ESPN duo's joint mock draft was .

Sticking with the Chiefs, they find a potential Tyreek Hill replacement with Penn State's Jahan Dotson at No. 29.

The Seahawks move back a spot, grab a fourth and draft Thibodeaux 10th overall. Speaking of receivers, Jeremiah places significant value on the position in his latest draft, projecting four in the top 11 in Wilson (seventh), Williams (eighth), London (ninth) and Olave (12th). The Packers and Chiefs both make pickups to offset the lo s of Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill with Burks and Pickens, respectively.:PickTeamPlayerPositionSchool1Jacksonville JaguarsTravon WalkerDLGeorgia2Detroit LionsAidan HutchinsonEDGEMichigan3Houston TexansIkem EkwonuOTN.C.

A surprising pick for the No. 1 overall receiver: USC's Drake London, at No. 10 overall (one pick ahead of Garrett Wilson).

A surprising drop for Garrett Wilson, presumed to be the top receiver available in the draft following Jameson Williams' injury; he falls to 13th overall to the Texans.

A precipitous fall for Kayvon Thibodeaux, who goes to the Seahawks at No. 13. The Patriots take tackle Bernhard Raimann at No. 21.
