[Dynasty] 2022 NFL Draft Class (1 Viewer)

Dane Brugler@dpbrugler

100%. Why we'll see QBs get overdrafted and as many as 6-8 WRs drafted 1st round this year.

Daniel Jeremiah@MoveTheSticks

When you see the cost of QB's & WR's on the open market, it makes drafting in 1st rd & gaining 5 yrs of control very enticing. If the grades are close, teams are going to lean in that direction.

 
This is geared to the Eagles picks but is interesting as it shows where one 'edge-rusher' may go in the draft.  

We know he will fall but this is the first mock I've seen him drop this far.

-------------------------------------------

NFL Mock Draft Simulation: Drafting a falling edge rusher

Round Three, Pick 19: David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan

It is to be seen how an Achilles injury impacts David Ojabo’s stock, but it is very possible he sees a big fall on draft day. If he can make a full recovery, he is one of the better edge defenders in the class. This is a bet that makes too much sense.

Wake Forest WR Jaquarii Roberson has multiple top-30 visits lined up, beginning with the Bengals on Monday.

Robinson (6'1"/182) is one of the most overlooked WRs in the class considering his production. He wasn't even invited to the combine despite putting up a 1,000+ yard and eight touchdown season, and he showed out in a major way at his Pro Day. He ran a 4.43 40 with a 40-inch vertical and a 10'11" broad. Those jumping numbers would have ranked tied-2nd and 6th amongst WRs at the combine. Roberson is getting his due respect by getting in a couple top-30 meetings, including the Bengals, the Chiefs and the Ravens.

RB ISAIAH SPILLER, TEXAS A&M

PFF Big Board Rank: 150th

Spiller is one of the rare players on this list who didn’t test overly well. At 6-feet and 217 pounds, he ran just a 4.64-second 40-yard dash.

PFF views Spiller as a three-down back who had his best season in 2021. He didn’t drop a pass last season and ranked 10th in both missed tackles forced and 15-plus yard runs. Two sources predicted he’ll be an early second-round pick with an outside shot of sneaking into the first.

NOTE: “We need new sources.”

I also did a double take when I read that.  January called, and it wants its sources back!  Spiller is not sneaking into Round One, and he is very unlikely to go off the board early in Round Two.  That said, I do think he has become undervalued by some.  The athletic measurables are disappointing, but game film does not lie.  Spiller is a a talented back who could be a workhorse back for an NFL team.

 
Mississippi State WR Makai Polk has made his way into SEC history after a single season at Mississippi State.

Polk (6'3/200) is a largely overlooked wide receive in the 2022 NFL Draft, despite all of his accomplishments last season. Over the course of that time, he became one of only six players in SEC history to record 100 receptions or more during a single season. He finished out his final collegiate season with 105 receptions for 1,046 yards with nine touchdowns, one of the Bulldogs' most efficient players.

Cowboys draft profile: Mississippi State WR Makai Polk may just be scratching surface

49ers’ local pro day: Cal’s Garbers chases NFL dream; Polk catches eyes; Stanford transfers shine

Excerpt:

POLK SHINES: Arguably the marquee player on the field was Makai Polk, a 6-foot-3 Cal transfer who set Mississippi State receiving records last season. Even Donald noted Polk’s “crisp” routes.

“I feel really good and am glad to be out here, back home in the Bay Area to show what I can do in front of these coaches,” said Polk, an El Cerrito High product.

Polk totaled three touchdowns among 34 receptions at Cal from 2019-20, then erupted for 105 receptions, 1,046 yards and nine touchdowns at Mississippi State under coach Mike Leach.

“He’s an athletic freak,” Garbers said of Polk. “We knew that when he first came to Cal as a 17-year old and playing for us. He’s a a real special talent. He’s long, can make catches, has great speed. It was great to throw to him; it’s been a while.”

Dwain McFarland@dwainmcfarland

Interesting nuggets from Doug on a few players that could go higher than expected in the draft.

  • John Metchie III -- second-round
  • Calvin Austin III -- second-round
  • Isaiah Spiller -- early second-round
---------------------------------

WR JOHN METCHIE III, ALABAMA

PFF Big Board Rank: 74th

Metchie tore his ACL in the SEC Championship game but is still expected to be taken in the second round, per a source. He’s 5-foot-11 and 189 pounds and earned a 78.2 overall PFF grade in 2021. He split his time between the slot and outside and earned his highest grades in the short (94.2) and intermediate (92.7) parts of the field.

#Chiefs should "move heaven and earth" to get Jameson Williams,

@nfldraftscout

said. They have plenty of Tyreek Hill-wannabe competition, including #Jets. David Ojabo? Scouts say his market has cooled. On 2 injured 1-year wonders before #nfldraft:

-------------------------

Jameson Williams, David Ojabo in same injury boat leading up to NFL draft

They were the two one-year wonders running on parallel tracks to crash the top 10 picks of the NFL draft. 

Then they both crashed to the turf. 

First, Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams went down with a torn ACL in the College Football Playoff national championship game on Jan. 10. Then Michigan edge-rusher David Ojabo suffered a torn Achilles at his Pro Day on March 19. Everything changed. 

While interest in Williams again is surging as he moves further away from injury, Ojabo is in danger of slipping out of the first round. The difference isn’t so much in the type of injury as much as it is in the calendar and what it means: Williams vows to be ready for Week 1, while Ojabo’s rookie season could be a wash ...

Boise State WR Khalil Shakir is the only player in the nation with PFF offensive grades of 85.0 or more in all of the last three seasons. 

In addition to Shakir's (6'0/196) very solid overall grades, he also posted three straight years of PFF receiving grades above 88.0 which is an elite mark that is an impressive feat. Shakir had a monster 2021, reeling in 77-of-114 targets for 1,117 yards, 14.5 YPC, a 68 percent catch rate and seven touchdowns while being recognized as a First Team All-MWC performer for the second consecutive season. The ultra-talented slot receiver's draft stock could be inhibited by his stubby 29" arms, but his 4.43s 40-yard dash and 8.32 overall Relative Athletic Score should help overcome those concerns, as he is projected as a fourth round pick in the upcoming 2022 NFL Draft.

Mel Kiper Dishes on Some Top WRs in Draft

Excerpt:

Last week, ESPN analyst Mel Kiper, Jr., gave his opinion on some of the receivers under consideration.

The longtime draft analyst said that none of the receivers in this class would be graded above DeVonta Smith, Ja’Marr Chase, or Jaylen Waddle – three players selected in the top 10 last year.

“Garrett Wilson would be the closest,” Kiper said. “Drake London, had he gone through the process clean - remember he had the fractured ankle last October against Arizona and not running the 40 and all that - Jameson Williams could have maybe been there, but he had the ACL in the national championship game.

“So, some things happened to prevent that … But there's I think six or seven that could go in the first round. … It's a deep, talented group. They're close to the three last year. Jameson, even with the injury, could still go top 20, maybe even top 10 possibly. But because of that, the three last year were rated a little bit higher.”

Kiper said there isn’t much that separates Wilson and his Ohio State teammate, Chris Olave.

“Olave is a professional in every sense of the word,” he said. “He's experienced. He catches the ball. He’s a precise route runner (and) he will (play) right away. So, I think if you get a Wilson at eight if you're Atlanta, you can get Olave in the middle of the first round at 15 If you're the Eagles. 

“I love both those kids. I think they're not as highly rated as the three last year the three elite guys last year, but they're awfully close. They're certainly close enough to be very early picks in this draft.”

Williams, however, is the wild card when it comes to the Eagles.

“Everybody talks about teams moving up to get him now, and we're talking about him in the top 10,” said Kiper. “So, it depends upon how they feel about Jameson as compared to say Chris Olave who they could probably get at 15 without moving up.

“Then Drake London coming off the fractured ankle, hasn't run for the clock, how they feel about him. Garrett Wilson, if you want to move up into the top six, seven, you can get him ahead of Atlanta if he doesn't go No. 4 to the Jets, how they feel about those receivers. I do think Jameson Williams is the one they can probably get him if they stayed (at 15).”

If there's a Darnell Mooney in this class, SMU WR Danny Gray is that guy.

Big time speed and makes plays at every level of the field. One of my favorite day 3 prospects (but he might not make it to day 3).
