Boston College. Zion Johnson . player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 123. IOL . 24
Johnson was a first-team All-American for Boston College last season and is going to be a guard in the NFL. The Cowboys have been rewarded for investing first-round picks in the offensive line in the past and this one will work out too. Chris Olave is on the board but with the depth at wideout, the Cowboys go O-line.
WR . Ohio State. player. 16. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Chris Olave . 25
Olave is a really good prospect but many seem to think he’s more of a No. 2 at the next level. However, with Josh Allen throwing him the ball and Stefon Diggs on the opposite side of the field, Olave should have early success. The Bills would also be smart to invest an early pick in a position that is, as they know, getting even more expensive.
Pick Analysis. Jahan Dotson. 26. Scouting Report. WR. Penn State. player. 35
The run on receivers continues at the end of the first round in this 2022 NFL mock draft as the Titans select 5-foot-11, 185-pound Dotson. He caught 91 passes last season for Penn State and averaged 15.1 yards per reception, as well as scoring 28 touchdowns. He’s one of the more underrated prospects in this draft and will be a much-needed weapon for Ryan Tannehill.
