2022 NFL Mock Draft: Kyle Hamilton falls after pro day results, two QBs go in top six, Chiefs trade up for WR

The Jaguars are going Hutchinson at No. 1 after franchising Cam Robinson. The Michigan star is an instant-impact type who can thrive on three downs.

The Lions surprise the masses by picking a quarterback at No. 2. Willis can sit behind Jared Goff for a season, then take over in 2023.

Walker is an all-upside selection for the rebuilding Texans.

Robert Saleh gets his large, fluid, physical alpha cornerback in Gardner.

Neal is a mammoth human who carries 337 pounds as well as any human on this planet. He has All-Pro upside.

Matt Rhule can’t leave this first round without a quarterback, and after Willis is off the board he feels fine going with Pickett, who was once a Temple commit when Rhule was the head coach there.

The Giants would love to move off this selection but can’t find a team willing to pay next year’s first-rounder as part of the deal. Ekwonu is a damn good consolation prize here.

The Falcons jump on the opportunity to pick Thibodeaux here to add a young marquee talent to their defense at the beginning stages of their rebuild.

Cross has the natural ability to be an All-Pro caliber tackle. The Seahawks need to fortify the line for whoever is playing quarterback.

My word — two of the top consensus defensive backs in this class land with the Jets. May feel like overkill, but New York’s secondary has been in shambles for a long time. Hamilton and Marcus Williams together at safety? Awesome. Hamilton could sink after reports surfaced that he ran in the 4.70s at his pro day.

Wilson would give Terry McLaurin a legitimate running mate at receiver and the two can bond over their time at Ohio State.

Johnson has had a fine pre-draft process and was super-productive at Florida State in 2021. The Vikings give Danielle Hunter a running mate on the outside.

Walker and Stingley equate to quite a first-round haul for the rebuilding Texans. Marquee talents at premier positions.

Davis lands in a rightful place for him, Baltimore, whose defense is predicated on physically overwhelming its opponents.

The Eagles have Williams fall into their lap, and with Devonta Smith already on the roster, they’re fine waiting on Williams’ recovery.

Cine played a lot of free safety at Georgia but hits like a linebacker and is an asset in coverage. He tested outstandingly, too.

The Chargers get a plug-and-play offensive right tackle in Penning. Yes, the size and power of NFL defensive ends will initially be a shock for him coming from the FCS level, but at 6-6 and 330 pounds, he’ll be ready.

Another former Ohio State pairing in Round 1. Olave has the well-rounded game to flourish as the No. 1 to Michael Thomas in Jameis Winston’s offense.

Howie Roseman loves building the trenches, and he sees the consensus top guard available here and grabs him.

The Steelers need to replenish the cornerback spot, and Elam is big, fast, and had a productive SEC career. Plus, he’ll only be 21 during his rookie season.

The Patriots have to get more pass-rushing juice up front, and Mafe got better each year at Minnesota. The burst and pass-rush moves stand out.

Hall is the versatile type the Packers love along their defensive line. He’s better inside than he is on the edge.

The Cardinals have to get better on the edge on defense after losing Chandler Jones in free agency. Karlaftis is NFL ready.

The Chiefs make this move to add a talented big body to their receiver group and also keep London away from the Bills.

The Bills haven’t made an early investment in corner since the 2017 draft, and they hope to be getting Tre’Davious White 2.0 here with Booth.

The Titans add more beef and SEC experience to their offensive line with the powerful Green here.

The Buccaneers have to infuse youth into their interior group up front. Wyatt has instant impact ability.

Dotson is the speedy wideout Rodgers will love opposite Allen Lazard.

What a draft navigation for the Cowboys. Move back, get extra picks, and land still Linderbaum. In this trade, Dallas gets this selection and Kansas City’s first third-round pick, No. 94 overall.

Ebiketie is the exact type of rusher the Chiefs desperately need. He’s got burst, bend, and pass-rushing moves.

McDuffie is too talented for the Bengals to pass on him here.

Glorious value for the Lions to land Dean, an NFL-ready, three-down linebacker, at this stage of Round 1.
