2022 NFL Mock draft: Projecting first-round after free agency and trades
Malik Willis . QB. 9. player. 36. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Liberty
Seattle didn’t have this pick in the 2022 NFL draft until recently. Yet, the Seahawks now have a big void to fill at quarterback and the ninth pick seems like a good time to take a risk. Malik Willis is the guy that most believe has the biggest upside in the 2022 NFL draft of all the quarterbacks. Seattle isn’t used to drafting in the top 10 and if Willis pans out, it might not have to again for a while. Devin Lloyd is another really strong option and could be a Bobby Wagner replacement, however, the chance to build around another talented QB on a rookie deal is too good to pass up.
LSU. Derek Stingley jr. . 10. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. CB . 30
Some have soured on Derek Stingley Jr. as the top cornerback in the NFL draft but that’s only because of the injury he suffered. He’s been talked about as the best player in the entire draft and most see him as the top cornerback, as well as a top-five talent. The Jets could take a receiver or an edge rusher here but Stingley just feels too good not to take here.
