Dwayne Haskins, NFL QB who died in South Florida, described as ‘selfless’ by coaches, teammates

This is an attempt at figuring out the best players available in this season's draft class, and which teams they'd match up well with considering the draft order courtesy of tankathon.com. The closer we get to draft day, the more I attempt to match what teams will actually do with their draft picks as opposed to what I believe they should do.

Last season, I was the fourth most accurate NFL draft prognosticator in print according to The Huddle Report. I'm tied for seventh overall (out of 133) over the past five years.

The NFL Draft has become a nice appetizer before our main course in September. A mock version of said draft is meant to educate, and even entertain. At very least, it helps you pass the time.

Here's my updated 2022 NFL Mock Draft, now through three rounds including compensatory picks:

FIRST ROUND

The Jaguars have invested in the offensive line during free agency and they have two young lineman who could still pan out ( Walker Little and Jawaan Taylor). Jacksonville has drafted an edge rusher in the first round two of the last three years, but have only produced 50 sacks total since 2020 — tied for second-fewest in the NFL during that span. Hutchinson's season was shades of Chase Young's 2019 dominant campaign, culminating in him finishing second in the Heisman voting. He's a high-floor prospect who wins with technique and strength. Top needs:Edge, OL, LB

The Lions have been near the bottom of the league in sacks and QB pressure rate the last three seasons, and there simply isn't a quarterback available worthy of this pick. Walker's size gives him an advantage over Kayvon Thibodeaux in Detroit's system. He offers premium versatility and immense power. Walker is an elite run defender, but will need to sharpen his technique to become a more consistent pass rusher. Top needs:QB, Edge, S

Thankfully for the Texans, every position is one of need, so it'll be hard to mess this up (even for them). Davis Mills could have been the top quarterback in this class had he stayed another year at Stanford, so Houston will pass on a signal-caller here. Neal is a physical specimen (6-foot-7, 337 pounds) who improved every season in Tuscaloosa and thrived at both tackle positions and left guard. Top needs:OL, DB, RB

The Jets haven't had a cornerback in the Pro Bowl since Darrelle Revis in 2015. Gardner made it through the playoff loss to Alabama unscathed. He finished his collegiate career with 1,100-plus snaps, nine interceptions and zero touchdowns allowed. Gardner's combine was flawless. Top needs:Edge, CB, WR

The Giants need to add toughness and athleticism to their offensive line. If the Jaguars pass on Hutchinson, it'll likely be for Ekwonu. He was the most dominant run-blocking tackle in the Power-5 conferences this season — it really wasn't close — and I envision him thriving at tackle or guard in the NFL. Top needs:OL, Edge, LB

The Panthers need to consider moving down if they're targeting a quarterback in the first round — they've been connected to Kenny Pickett. Otherwise, it's clear they need to upgrade the offensive line. Cross is a powerful blocker who developed into a dominant pass protector last season and could end up cracking the top-10 come draft day. Top needs:QB, OL, Edge

The Giants surprisingly terminated the contract of last year's defensive captain Logan Ryan at the beginning of free agency. Hamilton is a hybrid playmaker who combines the versatility of Isaiah Simmons with instincts that are reminiscent of Hall of Famer Ed Reed. Those who pick nits with his 40-yard dash times are digging really deep for criticism. Top needs:OL, Edge, LB

The Falcons current wide receiver room included Auden Tate, KhaDarel Hodge, Olamide Zaccheaus (a restricted free agent), Damiere Byrd, Frank Darby and Chad Hansen. London led the nation in contested catches with 19 and he only played eight games after his season ended with a broken ankle. His size, athleticism, route-running and flair for the spectacular catch will make him a problem for defensive coordinators in the NFL. London recently moved his individual pro day to April 15 after suffering a mild hamstring strain during preparation. Top needs:WR, Edge, S

If the Seahawks draft a quarterback, it won't be here. They'll either wait until the second round, where they currently have picks No. 40 and 41. Or they will package those selections to move up into the backend of the first round. No matter how much GM John Schneider needs to address the O-line or defensive backfield, he hardly ever invests early picks in those positions. So I'm giving them a pass rusher. Only the Ravens allowed more passing yards than Seattle last season. Thibodeaux is a top tier athlete who wins with speed. His ceiling is massively high, but it might take a few years for his technique and toolbox to catch up to his talent. The narrative coming out of Indy was Thibodeaux came off as "cocky" in his interviews with teams. The same thing was said about Micah Parsons last year. Top needs:QB, OL, CB

The success of Robert Saleh's defensive scheme is predicated on creating pressure on the quarterback without blitzing. Johnson is capable of being three-down player as a potentially elite run defender and an underrated pass rusher. Top needs:Edge, CB, WR

Drafting Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson remains a mystery to me. It's rare a route technician with reliable hands can also run as fast as Olave. The Mission Hills product might have made it into the first round had he left school last year and it wouldn't surprise me if he cracks the top-20. He'd pair nicely with DeVonta Smith and go along way in correcting the Reagor mistake. Top needs:WR, DL, LB

Mitch Trubisky is making premium backup quarterback money, which means he's currently not the long-term solution at the position for the Steelers. The buzz coming out of Mobile was Pittsburgh was crushing on Willis, much like they did with Najee Harris last year. Willis' dynamic mobility and strong arm were certainly on display there, in Indy and at his pro day. There are serious accuracy issues that will need to be ironed out in the NFL, but I'd trust Mike Tomlin and his staff to help Willis reach his full potential over almost anybody else. Top needs:QB, WR, DL

Levi Wallace signed with Pittsburgh and Tre'Davious White is currently rehabbing an ACL injury. Elam is a 6-foot-2 corner with elite ball skills who fine-tuned his technique after an underwhelming sophomore season. His game is built on speed and physicality, which you normally don't see in the same toolkit. Top needs:OL, CB, WR

JuJu Smith-Schuster will almost certainly run most of his routes out of the slot with Marquez Valdes-Scantling likely being utilized as a field stretcher. Pickens is big (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) and strong with an impressive catch radius. There aren't many one-on-one battles he won't win. I originally thought off-field and durability concerns could hurt his draft stock, but it doesn't appear to be doing so. Top needs:WR, CB, Edge

33. Jacksonville — Quay Walker, LB, Georgia, Sr.

34. Detroit — Lewis Cine, S, Georgia, Jr.

35. N.Y. Jets — Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota St., Sr.

36. N.Y. Giants — David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan, Jr.

37. Houston — Breece Hall, RB, Iowa St., Jr.

38. N.Y. Jets from Carolina — Tyler Smith, T, Tulsa, So.

39. Chicago — Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn, Sr.

The Bears will need to add two cornerbacks this offseason so Jaylon Johnson won't have to continue to chase top receivers all over the field. McCreary simply doesn't allow much separation and he's battle-tested out of the SEC. He's capable of thriving in man and zone. Top needs:WR, OL, CB

40. Seattle from Denver — Matt Corral, QB, Mississippi, Jr.

41. Seattle — Tariq Woolen, CB, Texas-San Antonio, Sr.

42. Indianapolis from Washington — Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan, So.

Moore would work well opposite Michael Pittman Jr. His elite agility makes him a nightmare in the open field, but he's even more difficult to bring down if a defender gets their hands on him — he broke a FBS-high 26 tackles last year. Top needs:WR, OL, CB

43. Atlanta — Boye Mafe, Edge, Minnesota, Sr.

44. Cleveland — Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn St., Sr.

Dotson would pair nicely with recent addition Amari Cooper. He features the game-breaking speed to beat defenses at all three levels and is good against press coverage despite his size (5-11, 185). He has very good hands and is a very capable blocker. Top needs:WR, OL, DL

45. Baltimore — Travis Jones, DL, Connecticut, Jr.

46. Minnesota — Logan Hall, DL, Houston, Jr.

47. Washington from Indianapolis — Darian Kinnard, OL, Kentucky, Sr.

59. Green Bay — Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn St., Sr.

60. Tampa Bay — Trey McBride, TE, Colorado St., Sr.

61. San Francisco — Sean Rhyan, OL, UCLA, Jr.

The 49ers need to fortify their offensive line and Rhyan provides value at both tackle and guard (where he'll likely challenge to start right away). Top needs:OL, CB, Edge

62. Kansas City — Jalen Pitre, DB, Baylor, Sr.

63. Cincinnati — Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati, Sr.

64. Denver from L.A. Rams — Nik Bonitto, Edge, Oklahoma, Jr.

Bonitto is slightly undersized for an edge defender, but he's a dynamic pass rusher and relentless in his pursuit of running backs. He's capable in coverage as well. Top needs:S, LB, T

65. Jacksonville — Jamaree Salyer, OL, Georgia, Sr.

66. Detroit — Khalil Shakir, WR, Boise St., Sr.
