2022 NFL Mock Draft: Final Mock 7 Rounds




Round 6




Chris Ransom follow @DraftUtopia Last Updated: April 28, 2022.


  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jeremiah Hall, FB, Oklahoma

    Jacksonville gets a starting fullback. The 6-1 241 lb Jeremiah Hall is a natural bruiser that can also line up at h-back or tight end with his versatility. He's the best blocking fullback in this draft and an ideal pass catcher. Jacksonville doesn't have a fullback, and I had a fourth round grade on Hall at one point, so the Jaguars get Hall to start the sixth round.


  2. Detroit Lions: Jelani Woods, TE, Virginia

    The Detroit Lions get a second tight end for depth behind T.J. Hockenson now that Jesse James is gone. Jelani Woods stood out during the 2022 East West Shrine Game.


    The 6-7 259 lb Jelani Woods followed up his good East West Shrine Game with a strong 2022 NFL Combine where Woods ran a 4.61 before doing 24 reps on the bench press. Woods also had a good workout at Virginia's Pro Day.



  3. New York Giants: Quentin Lake, SS, UCLA

    New York drafts a strong safety for depth behind Xavier McKinney now that Jabrill Peppers is gone. Quentin Lake is versatile enough to play strong safety or free safety with his versatility. The 6-1 201 lb Quentin Lake is a good zone coverage safety. You'd like to see him show more foot speed, but he impressed me on tape versus Oregon.


  4. New England Patriots: Zakoby McClain, 3-4 MLB, Auburn

    The 5-11 228 lb Zakoby McClain is versatile enough to line up at 4-3 right end off the edge, 4-3 right outside linebacker, 4-3 middle linebacker, 4-3 left outside linebacker, 3-4 middle linebacker, and lined up as a boundary cornerback on one play against Alabama due to his A grade zone coverage. You could make an argument for him being a top 10 coverage linebacker in this draft.


    Even if the Patriots took Nakobe Dean at 21 to start next to Ju'Whan Bentley, their only backup at 3-4 middle linebacker is Raekwon McMillan who didn't play a down for New England in 2021. Getting a second 3-4 middle linebacker for depth in the sixth round is a possiblity. Zakoby McClain is a good depth piece for New England right here in the sixth round.



  5. Minnesota Vikings: Alex Wright, 3-4 LOLB, UAB

    The 6-5 271 lb Alex Wright gives you depth at 3-4 left ouside linebacker, he'll be a third string edge rusher if D.J. Wonnum converts to outside linebacker, but if Wonnum moves to five technique, then Wright could become a backup for Danielle Hunter at some point.


  6. Buffalo Bills: Daniel Bellinger, TE, San Diego State

    The 6-4 252 lb Daniel Bellinger is the second youngest tight end in the entire 2022 NFL Draft. Bellinger is a good blocking tight end who ran a 4.63 40 time. Buffalo has Dawson Knox as their starter and O.J. Howard as their backup. Daniel Bellinger could push last years backup tight end and current third string tight end Tommy Sweeney whose in the final year of his rookie deal for a roster spot. Worst case scenario, is Bellinger is stashed on Buffalo's practice squad for a year.



  7. Chicago Bears: Chasen Hines, RG, LSU

    Chicago needs a starting right guard with James Daniels gone. The 6-2 332 lb Chasen Hines looked decent in pass protection and did well run blocking versus Auburn. I don't think he's got Ed Ingram's floor, but he may be talented enough to earn a starting right guard spot for Chicago if the Bears want to keep Larry Borom at right tackle.


  8. San Francisco 49ers: Jerome Ford, RB, Cincinnati

    The 5-10 209 lb Jerome Ford gives the San Francisco 49ers a running back who can compete with Jeff Wilson, JaMycal Hasty, and Trey Sermon for the backup running back job behind Elijah Mitchell on San Francisco's depth chart. Jerome Ford had 215 carries, 1,319 rushing yards, 19 rushing touchdowns, 21 receptions, 220 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown, 236 touches, 1,539 total yards, and 20 total touchdowns as the Cincinnati Bearcats lead running back in 2021.



  9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jalen Wydermyer, TE, Texas A&M

    The 6-5 255 lb Jalen Wydermyer was considered the top tight end prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft at one point. He kept dropping balls during the 2022 NFL Combine and ran a 4.90 40-time at Texas A&M's Pro Day. Only one tight end in the past twenty years with a 4.9 40 got drafted and he was a seventh round pick back in 2013, but the reason Wydermyer is the exception to this rule is because Jalen Wydermyer. the youngest tight end in the entire 2022 NFL Draft.


    Jacksonville already has Evan Engram and Dan Arnold. Engram is an effective starter, but hasn't stayed fully healthy since his rookie year and Arnold will do better as a number two tight end. Jalen Wydermyer can start out as a third string tight end and work his way up Jacksonville's depth chart after having 40 receptions, 515 receiving yards, and 4 receiving touchdowns in 2021.


  10. Washington Commanders: Kolby Harvell-Peel, FS, Oklahoma State

    Washington gets a potential starter at free safety here. The 6-0 213 lb Kolby Harvell-Peel lined up at both strong safety and free safety at Oklahoma State. He's decent in zone coverage, but he's got to improve his foot speed and ability to wrap up tacklers if he wants to start for more than one or two years at safety.



  11. Atlanta Falcons: Brock Purdy, QB, Iowa State

    The 6-1 212 lb Brock Purdy is talented enough to beat out Filipe Franks for the backup gig. If Marcus Mariota struggles he might see playing time as a rookie. At one point he was a first round prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft following a strong sophomore season in 2019. He's struggled the last two years which is the biggest reason he's slipped this far.


  12. Minnesota Vikings: Esezi Otomewo, 3-4 RE, Minnesota

    The 6-5 282 lb Esezi Otomewo might be an upgrade over Armon Watts and James Lynch if Minnesota chooses not to move D.J. Wonnum to 3-4 right end. Esezi Otomewo complimented Boye Mafe as a 4-3 defensive end on Minnesota in 2021. Esezi Otomewo had 24 solo tackles, 6 assisted tackles, 30 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, 4 quarterback hurries, and 3 sacks at Minnesota across from Boye Mafe in 2021.



  13. Minnesota Vikings: Chigoziem Okonkwo, TE, Maryland

    Minnesota needs a backup tight end behind Irv Smith Jr. on their depth chart in case an injury occurs. It's worth pointing this out because Irv Smith Jr., Minnesota's 2019 second round pick missed all of his third season in 2021 after showing promise his first two seasons complimenting Kyle Rudolph. Irv Smith Jr. was supposed to take over for Rudolph in 2021 before a torn meniscus kept him out.


    Irv Smith Jr. might be a breakout guy in 2022. However, Minnesota lost their backup Tyler Conklin which is why Chigoziem Okonkwo got mocked here.


    The 6-2 238 lb Chigoziem Okonkwo is one of the youngest tight ends in this draft. He's already a good blocking tight end. He's still kind of raw as a pass catcher, but began to come into his own during the 2021 College Footbal Season posting 52 receptions, 447 receiving yards, and 5 receiving touchdowns in 2021. His signature game came against Michigan State where the Maryland tight end had 8 receptions, 112 receiving yards, and 2 receiving touchdowns. Okonkwo also had 12 receptions for 85 receiving yards against a Penn State defense with lots of NFL talent on it while showcasing good pass catching.


  14. Dallas Cowbos: Derrick Deese Jr., TE, San Jose State

    Dallas already has Dalton Schutlz as their starting tight end. A replacement for Blake Jarwin is needed though which is why Dallas uses this pick on a tight end in the 2022 NFL Draft.


    The 6-4 235 lb Derrick Deese Jr. is the son of former San Francisco 49ers player Derrick Deese. Derrick Deese Jr. has great speed and can run all 30 routes on a route tree. He's a great pass catching tight end with the versatility to line up at h-back, fullback, tight end, or as a third offensive tackle on film. Derrick Deese Jr. needs to become more consistent as a blocker, but if he can fix that he's a guy who has a lot of similar traits that Antonio Gates had coming out of Kent State.



  15. New Orleans Saints: D.J. Davidson, DT, Arizona State

    The 6-3 325 lb D.J. Davidson gives New Orleans a second 4-3 defensive tackle that could be a good starter down the road. D.J. Davidson had 21 solo tackles, 36 assisted tackles, 57 total tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, 4 deflections from pass breakups thanks to his natural swatting ability, 1 quarterback hurry, and a 0.5 a sack in 2021. He got more hurries than his stats indicate.


  16. Los Angeles Chargers: James Empey, C, BYU

    The Chargers get a center for depth behind Cory Linsley. The 6-4 303 lb James Empey has done press conferences since his sophomore season at BYU in 2019. Empey pass blocked for quarterback Zach Wilson while run blocking for Tyler Allgeier. He's also got 41 career starts, but he's a better run blocker than a pass blocker. He'd be a backup to Linsley at center since Linsley is the only center on the Chargers depth chart at the moment.



  17. Baltimore Ravens: Matt Araiza, P, San Diego State

    The 6-2 200 lb Matt Araiza was a kicker and punter at San Diego State performing field goals, punts, and kickoffs with the San Diego State Aztecs going 18/28 on field goals with a career long 53-yard field goal, 45/45 on extra points, punting 86 times with his career long punt being 86 yards too, and kicking for 4,725 kicking yards on kickoffs.


    Baltimore could use a punter upgrade and getting this years Ray Guy Award winner as a punter helps Baltimore get an upgrade at punter, he could also take over for Justin Tucker at kicker whenever Tucker decides to retire meaning the Ravens wouldn't have to worry about adding another kicker until 2030 at the very earliest.


    I rarely throw the term special punter around, but that term applies to Matt Araiza since he can play kicker or punter. He's probably the best punter to enter the NFL since Ray Guy, the only punter to ever get drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft, and that's no exaggeration as one of my former co workers at NFL Mocks mocked the San Diego State kicker/punter to the Denver Broncos at 64.


    Taking this guy in the second round would be a reach. To get this guy in the sixth round at pick 196 is an absolute steal though.



  18. Jacksonville Jaguars: Makai Polk, WR, Mississippi State

    Jacksonville got D.J. Chark's replacement in the third round with Justyn Ross. Now they grab the replacement for Collin Johnson whose now on the New York Giants with their sixth round pick.


    The 6-3 195 lb Makai Polk had 105 receptions, 1,046 receiving yards, and 9 receiving touchdowns in 2021. Polk is also the youngest receiver in the entire 2022 NFL Draft.


    With this selection Jacksonville now has Justyn Ross, Marvin Jones, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Laquon Treadwell, Laviska Shenault Jr., Makai Polk, and return specialist Jamal Agnew as wide receiver options for Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars also have three different tight ends with Evan Engram, Dan Arnold, and Jalen Wydermyer. Trevor Lawrence, the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft now has 11 different passing targets among his wide receivers and tight ends. I'll reveal the passing targets that Lawrence has for his running game with the next selection.


  19. Jacksonville Jaguars: Hassan Haskins, RB, Michigan

    The 6-2 228 lb Hassan Haskins had 270 carries, 1,327 rushing yards, and 20 rushing touchdowns in 2021. Haskins also had 18 receptions for 131 receiving yards, but he was mainly used as a runner. Hassan Haskins does have the ball carrier vision, pass blocking, speed, and pass catching to be a starting running back.


    Jacksonville still has James Robinson and 2021 first round pick Travis Etienne on their depth chart. Despite losing Carlos Hyde, Jacksonville still has three other running backs on their depth chart including Ryquelll Armstead, Nathan Cottrell, and Mehki Sargent.


    I'm fairly certain that if Jacksonville drafted Haskins here, he could beat all of those guys out with ease to win the third string job behind Robinson and Etienne replacing Carlos Hyde. Jacksonville now has James Robinson, Travis Etienne, Hassan Haskins, and Oklahoma fullback Jeremiah Hall as pass catching targets in the running game for Trevor Lawrence. This gives Lawrence three running backs, one fullback, eight wide receivers, three tight ends, and fifteen different players for Lawrence to get the ball to making Jacksonville's offense extremely difficult to game plan around once Lawrence takes the next step, which could be as early as week 1 of the 2022 season if he plays like he did in the week 18 season finale against the Indianapolis Colts.



  20. Carolina Panthers: Justin Shaffer, LG, Georgia

    The 6-3 326 lb Justin Shaffer provides competition at the left guard spot since he's good the pass blocking and run blocking to be a starter at left guard. Shaffer was part of Georgia's National Championship team and he made some nice plays in practice at the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl. At the same time, he's competing against Pat Elflein, Michael Jordan, and Dennis Daley a 2019 sixth round pick that was a former right tackle at South Carolina.


    Justin Shaffer feels like a boom or bust gamble in round six because he could end up on the practice squad. At the same time, he's good enough to push for the starting left guard job on day 1 in Carolina.


  21. New England Patriots: Connor Heyward, FB, Michigan State

    New England gets their new starting fullback at pick 200. The 5-11 239 lb Connor Heyward is the son of the late great Craig "Ironman" Heyward and the younger brother of Pittsburgh Steelers 3-4 right end Cameron Heyward.


    The Duluth, Georgia native played quarterback, running back, wide receiver, strong safety, free safety, and punter in High School. Later he developed the versatility to play kick returner, punt returner, h-back, fullback, and tight end at Michigan State.


    After mainly playing special teams as a true freshman in 2017. Connor Heyward broke out as a sophomore in 2018 as one of five finalists for th Paul Hornung Award. Heyward led Michigan State in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, carries, and all-purpose yards while finishing third on the Michigan State Spartans in receptions as a true sophomore.


    Heyward redshirted in 2019 before leading Michigan State in carries in 2020. Heyward made the switch to tight end during his senior redshirt season at Michigan State in 2021.


    Michigan State fullback Connor Heyward played in the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl just like Oklahoma fullback Jeremiah Hall. Heyward was also the only player outside of Colorado State tight end Trey McBride to catch every single target in the tight ends group at the 2022 NFL Combine. Connor Heyward is a steal at 200 and some have him ranked ahead of Jeremiah Hall after outperforming Hall at the 2022 NFL Combine after both fullbacks played in the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl.



  22. Arizona Cardinals: Markquese Bell, SS, Florida A&M

    The 6-2 212 lb Markquese Bell may be an upgrade over 2019 fifth round safeties Jalen Thompson and Diontae Thompson who goth enter the final year of their rookie deals. I have a C+ grade on both of those strong safeties for man, zone, and press coverage in the NFL. I have a C- man coverage grade, an A- zone coverage grade, and a C- press coverage grade on Markquese Bell. If Arizona just wants their strong safety to blitz, stop the run, and play strictly zone coverage like 90 percent of safeties in the NFL, then Bell is an upgrade over the two safeties from the 2019 NFL Draft that enter the final year of their rookie deals.


    Markquese Bell is also fast and athletic with great game speed on film. Markquese Bell ran a 4.41 40-time at the 2022 NFL Combine too, so I do believe he could be a long-term starting strong safety next to Pro Bowl free safety Budda Baker since he's already got the athleticism and zone coverage that you want from a starting strong safety at the next level.


  23. Cleveland Browns: Tyler Vrabel, LT, Boston College

    Cleveland has some depth at left tackle. The 6-5 307 lb Tyler Vrabel is a three year starter at left tackle or Boston College. The son of former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel could be a good backup to Jedrick Wills Jr. down the road once he improves his strength and footwork in a teams weight room.


    I watched Vrabel against Florida State. He went 10/14 on passing plays against Jermaine Johnson II, but he also went 6/21 on running plays against Jermaine Johnson II despite pancaking him twice. He had 5 pancake blocks, but also gave up 5 sacks surrendering 2 of those sacks to Jermaine Johnson II. Vrabel also gave up 11 quarterback hurries in his 35 snaps on the field against Florida State.



  24. Buffalo Bills: Kyle Phillips, WR, UCLA

    The 5-11 189 lb Kyle Phillips is the third receiver in this draft along with Khalil Shakir and Calvin Austin III that can run all 30 routes on tape, but unlike the other two natural route runners, Phillips will overthink things and hesitate on his routes at times. He needs to execute breaks on shorter routes quicker, but he makes up for this by attacking leverage and using route tempo to wear down nickel cornerbacks. Kyle Phillips can also play on special teams as a kick returner or a punt returner.


    Kyle Phillips had 59 receptions, 739 receiving yards, and 10 receiving touchdowns. Kyle Phillips has good agility for a wide receiver and can get physical with opposing cornerbacks. One example of this was on a play where he made LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. miss a tackle on film.


    Kyle Phillips had 59 receptions, 739 receiving yards, and 10 receiving touchdowns. Kyle Phillips has good agility for a wide receiver and can get physical with opposing cornerbacks. One example of this was on a play where he made LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. miss a tackle on film.


    Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has nine different wide receivers to throw to thanks to this pick. Those players include Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, Jameson Crowder in the slot, Jake Kumerow, Marquez Stevenson, Isaiah McKenzie, Tanner Gentry, Isaiah Hodgins, and now Kyle Phillips. Three of these receivers can play kick returner or punt returner including Isaiah McKenzie, Marquez Stevenson, and Kyle Phillips.


  25. Tennessee Titans: Micah McFadden, 3-4 MLB, Indiana

    The 6-1 240 lb Micah McFadden had the top pass rushing grade for a 3-4 middle linebacker according to Pro Football Focus. Tennessee still has Zach Cunningham, David Long on a rookie deal, and 2021 third round pick Monty Rice on a rookie deal. The Titans did lose Rashad Evans to Atlanta and Jayon Brown to the Las Vegas Raiders. Micah McFadden can get pressure on the quarterback, but he also takes bad angles and is prone to missing tackles despite being effective in zone coverage at times.



  26. Houston Texans: Danny Gray, WR, SMU

    The 5-11 182 lb Danny Gray had 49 receptions, 803 receiving yards, and 9 receiving touchdowns in 2021. If Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins remain on the outside, Houston could target a slot receiver here. Danny Gray ran a 4.33 40-time at the 2022 NFL Combine.


  27. Denver Broncos: Bo Melton, WR, Rutgers

    The 5-10 191 lb Bo Melton can be used as both a kick returner and punt returner according to Brian Bayless, a Rutgers alumnus that covers the NBA here at Draft Utopia. Bo Melton ran a 4.34 40-time so Denver grabs Melton as a return specialist.



  28. Houston Texans: Logan Bruss, RT, Wisconsin

    The 6-5 309 lb Logan Bruss gives Houston depth at right tackle behind Tytus Howard. I'd argue right tackle depth is something Houston needs at this point in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.


  29. Pittsburgh Steelers: Tycen Anderson, SS, Toledo

    The 6-2 209 lb Tycen Anderson is versatile enough to play strong safety or free safety with his versatility. The hard hitting safety is a better fit at strong safety than free safety. With Miles Killebrew and Karl Joseph on this roster competing for the starting strong safety spot, Tycen Andersen should be the fourth best safety on Pittsburgh. He'd only play if two of Pittsburgh's top three safeties were injured. With Minkah Fitzpatrick at free safety, plus Killebrew and Joseph, it's unlikely Anderson sees the field as a rookie until he improves his ability in coverage.



  30. Cincinnati Bengals: Darien Butler, MLB, Arizona State

    Cincinnati gets a middle linebacker for depth behind Logan Wilson. The 5-10 221 lb Darrien Butler is a guy that's met with the Bengals and would be a nice addition here in the sixth round.


  31. New England Patriots: Decobie Durant, CB, South Carolina State

    New England spends their final pick on a cornerback for depth here. I won't be surprised if Belichick gets this guy as a UDFA since New England got Malcolm Butler in 2014 as an undrafted Free Agent before doing the same with J.C. Jackson.


    The 5-10 180 lb Decobie Durant has an A grade in man coverage, an A- grade in zone coverage, an A grade in press coverage, an A- grade against the run, and my only cornerback in the entire 2022 NFL Draft to get an A+ grade for blitzing. He can play cover 0, cover 1, cover 2, cover 3, and cover 4. He intercepted D.J. Uegalelei twice this season. He also intercepted Aqeel Glass three times in two meetings while keeping Alabama A&M wide receiver Dee Dallas in check.


    He went the entire game against Norfolk State without a bad play. ESPN's announcers called him a special player, the last South Carolina State prospect to be labeled special was Darius Leonard, the Pro Bowl linebacker on the Indianapolis Colts.


    Decobie Durant had 12 deflections from pass breakups in 2019, 2020 during the Spring of 2021 due to Covid-19, and 12 deflections from pass breakups in 2021. He ran a 4.38 40 time at the 2022 NFL Combine before posting a 36 inch vertical at South Carolina State's Pro Day.


    Decobie Durant is gonna be the Malcolm Butler of the 2022 NFL Draft. I say this with confidence because I watched four full games of South Carolina State football and 3 highlight reels with one against Clemson, the other two highlight reels being Durant's two contests against Alabama A&M. I've watched seven games of film on Durant if you want to take both highlights and full game film into account when studying Durant and I only saw two bad plays in those seven games of tape. Whoever ends up with Durant is getting the Malcolm Butler or J.C. Jackson of the 2022 NFL Draft.



  32. Los Angeles Rams: Tyler Goodson, RB, Iowa

    The Los Angeles Rams got this compensation pick at 211 for losing their 2017 second round pick Gerald Everett, who left Los Angeles to sign a contract with the NFC West arch rival Seattle Seahawks. The former South Alabama tight end only spent one season with Seattle before the Seahawks moved on from Everett. Everett signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, meaning Gerald Everett is returning to Sofi Stadium in 2022, but this time as a Charger.


    The 5-9 197 lb Tyler Goodson had 256 carries, 1,151 rushing yards, 6 rushing touchdowns, 31 receptions, 247 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown, 287 touches, 1,438 rushing yards, and 7 total touchdowns in 2021. He embarassed Micah McFadden the Indiana linebacker that I mocked to Tennessee at 206, but struggled against Wisconsin, Michigan, Maryland, Penn State, and Purdue on film.


    Tyler Goodson ran a 4.47 40 time at the 2022 NFL Combine and improved on that with a 4.42 40 time at Iowa's Pro Day. He makes a good third stringer behind Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson now that Sony Michel is no longer with the Rams.


  33. Los Angeles Rams: Tyrese Robinson, RG, Oklahoma

    The Los Angeles Rams got this compensation pick at 212 for losing their 2017 fourth round pick Samson Ekubam, who left Los Angeles to sign a contract with the NFC West arch rival San Francisco 49ers. The former Hokie kept his roster spot on San Francisco after filling in for an injured Dee Ford in 2021.


    The 6-3 317 lb Tyrese Robinson is versatile enough to play right guard or right tackle with his versatility. Tyrese Robinson is a good backup to 2019 third round pick Bobby Evans who takes over as the Rams starting right guard with Austin Corbett now in Carolina.



  34. Atlanta Falcons: Dameon Pierce, RB, Florida

    The Atlanta Falcons got this compensation pick at 213 for losing their Pro Bowl center Alex Mack. Mack left Atlanta to sign with San Francisco, but Atlanta now has a good center in Matt Hennessy.


    The 5-9 220 lb Dameon Pierce had 13 rushing touchdowns on 100 carries despite only getting 574 rushing yards. He had a good week at the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl showcasing his ball carrier vision, running, and pass catching. He ran a 4.66 40-time at the 2022 NFL Combine. He's also suspect in pass protection. Pierce will enter Atlanta as a third string running back behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis.


  35. Los Angeles Chargers: Noah Elliss, NT, Idaho

    The Los Angeles Chargers got this compensation pick at 214 after former starter Tyrod Taylor lost the quarterback job to Justin Herbert. Tyrod Taylor got one more chance as a starter in Houston. Tyrod Taylor won a Super Bowl as a backup to Joe Flacco before having starting quarterback gigs in Buffalo, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and Houston. He is now a backup once again in New York.


    The Chargers have Jerry Tillery at 3-4 right end, Sebastian Joseph-Day the Rams nose tackle as their new starting nose tackle, and Austin Johnson the 3-4 left end on the New York Giants as their starting 3-4 left end. The 6-4 359 lb Noah Elliss is the son of former Charger Luther Elliss. No like father like son puns apply here since Luther played for San Diego, while Noah is going to Los Angeles.



  36. Arizona Cardinals: Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Alabama

    The Arizona Cardinals got this compensation pick at 215 after former complimentary running back Kenyan Drake left the Arizona Cardinals to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders.


    The 6-1 226 lb Brian Robinson Jr. dominated with 271 carries, 1,343 rushing yards, 14 rushing touchdowns, 35 receptions, 296 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns, 306 touches, 1,639 total yards, and 17 total touchdowns in 2021 in his first year as a starter. Instead of entering the transfer portal, Brian Robinson Jr. waited for his time at Alabama before doing well at the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl. Arizona has James Connor and Eno Benjamin moving up to a backup role. Arizona still needs a third string back with Chase Edmonds in Miami.


  37. Indianapolis Colts: Jordan Jackson, DT, Air Force

    The Indianapolis Colts got this compensation pick at 216 after Jacoby Brissett signed a one year deal to be a backup quarterback to Tua Tagovailoa. Brissett showed promise as a backup in week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders before his season with Miami went downhill from there. Cleveland signed Jacoby Brissett who will be a backup to Deshaun Watson unless Baker Mayfield remains in Cleveland as the backup which would relegate Brissett to a third string role.


    The 6-3 262 lb Jordan Jackson was disruptive on the interior. In a conference win over Nevada he gave Carson Strong some problems with his pass rushing ability. Indianapolis drafts Jordan Jackson and stashes him for depth here.



  38. Detroit Lions: Dawson Deaton, C, Texas Tech

    The Detroit Lions got this compensation pick at 217 for losing their 2017 first round pick Jarrad Davis who signed a contract with the New York Jets. New York released Davis to clear up cap space, and Detroit got him back on a one year deal for the 2022 season after aquiring this compensation pick.


    Detroit uses their compensation pick to get a center for depth behind Frank Ragnow in case Ragnow gets injured again. The 6-5 306 lb Dawson Deaton would make a good backup center for Ragnow in Detroit.


  39. Los Angeles Rams: Isaiah Pola-Mao, FS, USC

    The Los Angeles Rams got this compensation pick at 218 for losing cornerback Troy Hill to the Cleveland Browns. Troy Hill led the NFL with defensive tochdowns in 2020 in his final season with the Rams prior to signing a contract with the Cleveland Browns.


    The 6-4 205 lb Isaiah Pola-Mao is a Polynesian safety from USC like Troy Polamalu. He's versatile enough to play strong safety or free safety in a depth role with the Rams. He was also one of the defensive captains on the USC Trojans in 2021 despite not getting an invite to the 2022 NFL Combine.



  40. Tennessee Titans: Bamidele Olaseni, LT, Utah

    The Tennessee Titans got this compensation pick at 219 for losing their 2014 fourth round pick DaQuan Jones after the Penn State defensive tackle made it through his rookie contract and first extension with the Tennessee Titans. DaQuan Jones only lasted one season in Carolina. He's now a backup defensive tackle on the Buffalo Bills for the 2022 NFL Season.


    The 6-8 330 lb Bamidele Olaseni who hails from London, England did well against Kayvon Thibodeaux on film despite only having one year of game film as a starting left tackle at Utah. He's got experience on special teams and would be a good backup to Taylor Lewan.


  41. San Francisco 49ers: Zachary Thomas, RT, San Diego State

    The San Francisco 49ers get this compensation pick at 220 because San Francisco 49ers defensive end Solomon Thomas, the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders after he lost his starting job to Nick Bosa. Thomas managed to play through all four years of his rookie deal though. After a year with the Raiders playing inside at defensive tackle, Thomas signed a depth role with the New York Jets at defensive tackle on a one year deal.


    The 6-5 308 lb Zachary Thomas is versatile enough to play left tackle, left guard, right guard, and right tackle with his versatility. Zachary Thomas spent a majority of his starts at right tackle before moving to left tackle in 2021.


    Zachary Thomas had 21 reps on the bench press and a ran a 4.96 40-time at the 2022 NFL Combine. San Diego State offensive lineman Zachary Thomas gives you depth at left tackle, left guard, right guard, and right tackle with his versatility. San Francisco would have Trent Williams at left tackle with Jayon Moore as the backup left tackle while they'd have Mike McGlinchey at right tackle and Zachary Thomas as their backup right tackle with this selection.



  42. San Francisco 49ers: Charleston Rambo, WR, Miami FL

    The San Francisco 49ers get this compensation pick at 221 because backup defensive end Kerry Hyder had a career high 8.5 sacks when Nick Bosa got placed on the season ending injured reserve list. Ryder had 2 sacks and a fumble recovery in a Monday Night win over Jared Goff an the Los Angeleles Rams back in 2020. Seattle got him for a year, before San Francisco brought him back for the 2022 season.


    The 6-1 177 lb Charleston Rambo had 79 receptions, 1,172 receiving yards, and 7 receiving touchdowns in 2021. The former Oklahoma wide receiver transferred to Miami FL where he showcased the ability to make contested catches in double coverage while really showcasing his ability to catch in traffic. Rambo might be the best receiver at catching in traffic in the entire draft and you can get him on day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft.


    He makes up for his 4.65 40-time with his superb coverage ability. He's the only linebacker in this draft to get an A- grade in man coverage and the second linebacker to get an A+ grade in zone coverage. This guy wowed me on tape when Nebraska played Ohio State earlier in the season.


    San Francisco has their top three wide receivers Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings back at wide receiver. I don't see any depth behind those players if anyone of those three receivers gets injured.
