NFL Mock Draft 2022: Complete first round Super Bowl weekend edition
45. Pick Analysis. LB. Georgia. Nakobe Dean. 9. player. Scouting Report
A lot of Broncos fans probably want Denver to take a quarterback here, but are any really worth a top-10 pick? It’s hard to say. I think Malik Willis did raise his stock enough to get a look from the Broncos, but I think they go with defense here and the top need of a linebacker.
Some people believe Nakobe Dean will drop to the end of the first round because of his size, but I think his playmaking ability more than makes up for it. He could be the next star linebacker in Denver. He had 72 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and six sacks with two picks.
Pick Analysis. WR. Ohio State. 10. player. Scouting Report. Garrett Wilson. 30
So the Jets did take a receiver early last season in Elijah Moore and he had a solid rookie season and having addressed the safety position with their first pick, they could add another dynamic playmaker to the receiving corps in Garrett Wilson.
The Buckeyes’ talented receiver was a star in 2021, catching 70 passes which nearly matched his total from the previous two seasons combined for 1,058 yards and 12 touchdowns. An offense with Michael Carter, Zach Wilson, Moore, and Wilson would be fun to watch.
