LSU. CB . Derek Stingley jr. . 12. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 60

If Stingley is still on the board for Minnesota at 12th overall, the Vikings will probably be doing backflips. Minnesota needs to upgrade its secondary and in Stingley, it gets a potentially elite cornerback with what seems like little downside if he can remain healthy.

13. 10. Pick Analysis. WR . Alabama. Jameson Williams . player. Scouting Report

There are some good options available for the Texans here but with Stingley just going off the board to Minnesota, Jameson Williams seems like the best fit here. Whether it’s Davis Mills at QB or someone else long-term, once Williams gets healthy, he’s going to be dynamic and probably would have been a top-10 selection if he wasn’t hurt in the College Football Playoff.

Georgia. Jordan Davis . Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. DT . player. 26. 14

In our previous mock draft for the 2022 NFL draft, I had Jordan Davis going to Baltimore and it just seems like the perfect fit. The Ravens need a long-term fixture on the defensive line and the 6-foot-6, 340-pound Jordan Davis is one of the most unique players in the draft. New DC Mike Macdonald also saw him up close as Georgia dominated his Michigan team in the Orange Bowl.
