NFL Mock Draft 2022: Complete first round Super Bowl weekend edition
Pick Analysis. QB. Malik Willis. Scouting Report. Liberty. 11. player. 58
Malik Willis was one of the biggest winners from Senior Bowl week as he put together a nice performance and was solid in practice as well. He proved a lot of doubters wrong and it’s safe to say he’ll be one of the most polarizing draft picks in this class.
I think the newly-dubbed Washington Commanders take a quarterback here and with Willis still on the board, they’ll go with this high-ceiling, low-floor dual-threat.
Willis could afford to improve his accuracy and decision-making as he completed 61 percent of his passes and had 12 picks to 27 touchdowns in 2021, but his athletic upside makes him intriguing.
LB. Utah. 12. player. 60. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Devin Lloyd
Defense will be the name of the game for the Vikings in this year’s draft. While there are some question marks on offense such as the future at quarterback (is Kirk Cousins the guy?), Minnesota could use a linebacker, edge rusher, or cornerback.
Devin Lloyd is the best linebacker available after Nakobe Dean, in my opinion, and he’d be a great fit in Minnesota as a plus-coverage backer. The star from Utah upgrades the defense immediately.
