Way too early 2022 mock draft

[ThunderDan]

22 - Bernhard Raimann T
28 - Treylon Burks -WR
53 - Brian Asamoah - LB
59 - Drake Jackson - Edge
92 - Kellen Diesch - T
132 - Lecitus Smith - G
140 - Noah Elliss - DL

I don't think Gutey has not drafted an older prospect in round 1, so that probably rules out Raimann. I don't think his tape warrants a 1st round pick--even if he weren't 24 years old.

22. Drake London WR, USC
28. Christian Watson WR, North Dakota State
53. Travis Jones IDL, UConn
59. Abraham Lucas OT, Washington State
92. Sam Williams EDGE, Ole Miss
132. Charlie Kolar TE, Iowa State
140. Tariq Castro-Fields CB, Penn State
171. Alex Wright EDGE, UAB
228. Zyon McCollum CB, Sam Houston State
249. Logan Bruss OT, Wisconsin

NFL Draft Network's mock draft simulator is missing one of our 7th round picks. I was looking to go ILB with the last pick.

It seems very unrealistic that some of these guys will be available when I drafted them.

According to most mock drafts I have see there is no way London would be there. Of course every mock draft I have seen has Olave there and I don't think he will be.

I would love for them to pick an OT first just to watch people lose their fucking minds.

Part of what's easy about being a fan is that you don't have to be logical. Really, look at the AJ Dillon pick. Most of us here were apoplectic about using a second round pick on a position that most people waited to get to until at least the fourth round. Now the guy is integral to this team. And when they drafted him, they had A Jones and Jamaal Williams. Not a need at all, but here we are. Can anyone imagine him not being on the team?


So I'll be bummed if they pick on OT at #22 or #28, but I know that if they guy turns out to be a ten-year starter it's a great pick. I just don't have to feel that way when the pick is made. Cuz it's all about my feelings.

Re: Rashan Gary. I was livid when they picked him. There were so many other guys out there who were so much better! I railed and railed. And here we are, three years in, and I was, of course, dead wrong. But that won't stop me from being pissed off when GB drafts some guy I don't know or at a position I don't like!

I did a Fanspeak mock draft taking the BPA no matter what. I thought it wasn't bad other than the 5th round running back.

22: R1 P22 OT Bernhard Raimann - Central Michigan
28: R1 P28 WR Christian Watson - NDSU
53: R2 P21 DL Logan Hall - Houston
59: R2 P27 EDGE Kingsley Enagbare - South Carolina
92: R3 P28 DL Phidarian Mathis - Alabama
132: R4 P27 RB Jerome Ford - Cincinnati
140: R4 P35 LB Micah McFadden - Indiana
171: R5 P28 RB Tyler Badie - Mizzou
228: R7 P7 RB Sincere McCormick - UTSA
249: R7 P28 DL John Ridgeway - Arkansas
258: R7 P37 EDGE Carson Wells - Colorado

Nice post, man.

An honest self-evaluation.

[Sparkey]

I really think he can be a dominant pass rusher at the next level if he gets drafted by a creative and elite DC (like Jim Leonard) that moves him around in the NFL. I would not restrict him to the inside only. He's shown improvement vs the pass each year although he's not a guy who can get spread out vs a RB like Aaron Jones or run down the middle with a fast TE. But I think he'll be ok in the zone.

His leadership, intensity, and motor is over the top like TJ Watt was. That's just the drive he has.

I think he'll fall to round 3 and I'd be elated if GB got him there (cause I think he'll be ok and all our 3rd round picks suck anyways).

Curious.....are you an intense WI Badger fan ? Gosh I think after last season he's the 2nd or 3rd best LB I've seen there in the last twenty or so years.

He was the guy I was hoping stayed another year.

Sorry Bretsky, missed this.

I used to catch every Badger game. Do you remember Don Morton and the Veer Offense? Sadly, I still do remember that garbage. Loved how Barry Alvarez brought back Badger football and then Bielema, the TOOL started to waste it way. Gary Anderson realizing he didn't want to coach where he was expected to win. I liked Paul Chryst back when he was OC. Not as much as a head coach. Loved watching Leonhard play for the Badgers and then come full circle and coach there.

A part of me would like to see Chryst retire and Leonard take over. Seems like the offense is always "stuck" and inflexible to adjustments.

So yeah, Saturday in the fall would make or break my weekend. Not so much anymore. I guess getting old does that.

^ Don Morton.

The mere mention of the name makes me shake my head.

I'm always way too early starting a draft thread. Here is an initial idea of a mock for 2022.

Rd No Player Pos Ht Wt College
1 32 Penning, Trevor OT 6-7 321 Northern Iowa
2 64 Bell. David WR 6-2 205 Purdue
3 96 Wyatt, Devantae DT 6-3 315 Georgia
4 130 Carter, Zachary DE 6-4 285 Florida
4 136 LaPorta, Sam TE 6-4 249 Iowa
5 170 Weatherford, Sterling S 6-4 215 Miami (OH)
6 <Traded for Cobb>
6 214 Gunter, Jeffrey OLB 6-4 260 Coastal Carolina
7 220 Cantrell, Daniel LS 6-0 241 Boise State
7 248 Moody, Jake PK 6-1 211 Michigan

Version 2: Comparing to my original guess that started the thread. Lots of movement up and down and some extra picks.

1-22 Karlaftis, George DE 6-4 266 Purdue
1-28 Olave, Chris WR 6-1 187 Ohio State
2-53 McBride, Trey TE 6-4 246 Colorado State
2-59 Metchie, John WR 6-0 187 Alabama
3-92 Pitre, Jalen S 5-11 198 Baylor
4-132 Jones, Braxton OT 6-5 310 Southern Utah
4-140 Bell, David WR 6-1 212 Purdue
5-171 Uwazurike, Eyioma DT 6-6 316 Iowa State
7-228 Fields, DeMarcus CB 6-0 193 Texas Tech
7-249 Carter, JaTyre OG 6-4 311 Southern
7-258 Moon, Jeremiah OLB 6-4 249 Florida

I was in college when Morton was the coach and transitioned to Alvarez. 4 stinking wins my first 3 years at UW.

I'd be ok with this, which means there's no way it comes close to happening.
3 WRs and a TE before R5 would be a surprise.

Yeah I remember Morton, and all the excitement on the UW campus over Barry. Barry knows football!
