The Senior Bowl is in the books and it’s Super Bowl weekend. Let’s take a look at our latest 2022 NFL Mock Draft with all picks nearly set in stone.

The annual Senior Bowl is officially in the books and it was a good chance for some top NFL draft prospects to make names for themselves and improve their stocks.

Guys like Trevor Penning and Malik Willis, who played for smaller programs, had a chance to prove themselves against elite competition and they did just that. They both raised their stocks and they went from potentially Day 2 picks into the first-round range. Will they be good enough from now until the draft to be selected in round one?

This is an interesting year for the NFL draft because there isn’t a clear No. 1 overall pick. There’s no Trevor Lawrence or Tua Tagovailoa type of quarterback who is sure to go early in the draft. This is actually one of the worst years for quarterbacks in recent memory.

Guys like Spencer Rattler and Sam Howell were supposed to take that next step in the 2021 season and go top-five overall. Those guys seemed like locks to be first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft but both were disappointing. One is now graded as a Day 2 pick and the other is transferring from Oklahoma to South Carolina after getting benched for Caleb Williams.

Now the debate begins about which quarterback will go first. Will it be Willis or Kenny Pickett or Matt Corral? Howell could sneak into the first round, but I’d be shocked.

This is how I think the draft could play out if it happened today.
