Pro Football Focus

PFF has dropped a 2022 NFL mock draft each week for a while now, so with the football guys taking a breather, it’s time for a math guy to take a swing at it. A lot of what I’m working off here comes courtesy of our college-to-pro projection system, which we applied for the first time this fall on Nevada's Carson Strong. However, I am factoring in some of PFF's 2022 NFL Draft Big Board, given that no combine or pro day data is available. The output of this mock basically comes together to give us the ordering for our best-in-class Mock Draft Simulator, with some adjustments for team needs. For reference, this is partially what I would do and partially what I think will happen, and there are explanations for this sprinkled in throughout the mock.
