The Draft Network

The wild-card round of the 2021-22 NFL playoffs has nearly come to a close, which means that come Monday night, we will have just eight teams alive in the hunt for the Lombardi Trophy. The other 24? Well, they're on to Las Vegas and the 2022 NFL Draft. That's where our eyes are as well as we roll into another #MockDraftMonday and explore yet another iteration of what could possibly play out in the first round of this year's draft. For my mocks, this is the most unique one to date. We at TDN have had a chance to embrace the film study process and as a result, our staff has looked at nearly 350 prospects eligible for this year's class. With that many names covered, we've come to have comfort in some new names in new stratospheres, as you'll find toward the end of this mock. So sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy another rendition of #MockDraftMonday. And keep your eyes peeled later this week—we'll be having a second round added to the mix in the days ahead.
