Way too early 2022 mock draft

[call_me_ishmael]

This looks like an ass draft. No good QBs. People are gonna be trading back. You know what that means? TIME TO TRADE JLO for an R1

[jklowan]

Here is my 1st way to early attempt at one of these....
R1-WR Treylon Burks Arkansas
R2-DL Jordan Davis - Georgia
R3 Edge Ali Gaye - LSU
R4 Edge Tyreke Smith - Ohio
R4 LB Owen Pappoe - Auburn
R5 WR Romeo Doubs - Nevada
R7 S Josh Proctor - Ohio
R7 TE Derrick Deese Jr - San Jose State

QB certainly looks weak. Not sure how the draft will be overall. Out of Draft Network's Top 32, here is the positional breakdown:

Edge 5
CB 5
WR 5
OT 4
S 3
IOL 3
LB 3
IDL 2
QB 2

The 2 QB's were Matt Corral Of Ole Miss at 28 and Malik Willis of Liberty at 31. Willis is more talented but would likely be more of a project coming from a small school. He was originally in the Auburn program.

I am not prepped to comment on the draft yet, but after watching Teddy Bridgewater relive his pro day I'm looking forward to the Broncos giving us 4 firsts for Rodgers.

Don't sleep on Carson Strong out of NV. He looks the part. Of couse I only watch Big 10 and NV football.

Strong is as good a passer as there is in this class. But he's had some knee issues. If he can convince NFL teams the knee is ok, he could be the first QB taken. But even when healthy, he doesn't seem very mobile.

Will just post some draft news on occasion in this thread.

Senior Bowl invitees that have accepted:

Compensatory Pick prediction (article is from this summer), 4th and 6th for Packers (wonder if the Campbell signing will erase the 6th, should get the 4th for Linsley though):

Just posting some more draft news. Missed the Friday/Saturday Bowl games. Anybody see anything interesting in those re: draft?

Next Bowl game:

Monday, Dec 20
Myrtle Beach Bowl
Old Dominion vs. Tulsa
2:30 p.m. EST, ESPN

Never heard of this one so not sure if it is a new bowl game or a renamed one.

Here is an article on the pro prospects in the game

Haven't watched a lot but I agree. I kind of like him -- he's accurate to all levels of the field. If his legs don't pass the medical forget it though. Bad knees at 22 is not a good sign.

Campbell signing happened too late in the year, so it doesn't count toward Compensatory picks.

Matt Corral just suffered leg injury in Sugar Bowl. Carted off.

I'm just hoping we keep Devante Adams, and a LEGIT first round reciever. The amount of attention Tae draws, will make a DECENT reciever "great".

Nice to hear form you Mazzin

Edge te ilb and wr are our biggest needs. Unless bakh can't get back.

[texaspackerbacker]

A big no way to that, assuming Tonyan is back and healthy next season. With him and probably Marcedes back and Deguara and Dafney and Davis, I think we are ok at TE. And ILB? Campbell, assuming we retain him is excellent. Barnes is just ok, but considering that not a huge percentage of plays we even have two ILBs on the field, we aren't too bad there also. And enough with the talk AGAIN of a first round WR. We have plenty of quality and quantity there. I thought that silliness got put to rest last season.

What do we need? Well, nothing extremely. OLB would seem to be the closest thing to a need. D Line we could use a clone of Kenny Clark - unless it is assumed that Slaton is gonna develop big time. Safety might be close. ILB maybe is third. I'd go with a kicker maybe as high as 4th round.

[Upnorth]

I hope we can get a long contract on tonyon but I bet he only signs a 1 year prove it deal. Lewis is 37. Dafney and davis are big question marks.
Will we be able to afford Campbell?
How many we do we have under contract next year? 1 I think.
We will lose 1 of the smiths. Rotation is good.
I stand by my list of needs.
