Verge's Way too early mock draft 2022

[Verge]

Still too early to get definitive opinions about these guys, but this is what I could see shaking out at this moment. Eager to hear who yall like and don't like.

I’ll be happy with OL or QB so this works for me. I’m surprised you have Willis at 2 though? He seemed to have a down year against decent competition IMO.

0% chance Pickett goes #1

Interesting to see the Steelers pass on a QB with the Big Ben retirement news.

@Vergeare you expected the rumors of Rodgers to the Steelers to be true?

No idea yet. I imagine Steelers will pursue someone like Jimmy G.

There have been more Steelers representatives around Chapel Hill and UNC games than any other NFL team. There's only one high level NFL prospect on UNC.

That would be a great situation for him to walk into

It really would be. As much as I'd love him here I only want him here if we get our poo together which honestly doesn't look like a promising proposition. Outside of that, yeah the Steelers are probably the best case scenario.

Tyler Linderbaum being available where we pick is good enough for me :3

Def agree on Hutchinson being DE1 this season. Surprised by Ekwonu @ #7, but the Giants are in desperate need of iOL help so I can get down with it.

They do like Sam Howell. It is a possibility. I think Howell will be a 1st round pick.

Ekwonu is my 2nd best tackle, his versatility certainly helps.

I dont see any scenario realistically possible where we draft Howell in the top 10 and he comes in and is successful right off the bat.  Not knocking him just saying he isnt that type of qb and this organization is not close at all to be trotting a rookie out there to start.

 

I can easily however see him falling to the steelers and making a playoff push simply due to the existing team and structure in place.

How are you feeling about this QB class in general? People seem all over the place on every prospect I’ve read about.

Every year around this time everyone says "this QB class is bad and we don't have a guy I would take in the top 10" or some nonsense. This class is fine, not as good as last year, but it has three guys with first round grades for me. Pickett and Willis clearly at the top.
