2022 NFL Mock Draft: Is Kenny Pickett the future in Carolina?
By Brad Weiss
Picks No. 31 and 32
35. . Linebacker. Tennessee Titans. Nakobe Dean. 31. player
While the Tennessee Titans currently are slated to pick at No. 31 overall in the next NFL Draft, if they continue to play the way they did this past Sunday, there is no way they are making the Super Bowl. Against the lowly Houston Texans, the Titans could not do anything offensively, as the loss of Derrick Henry reared its ugly head in this one.
Still, this should be a playoff team this season, which means they will pick late in the first round, and getting a linebacker like Georgia’s Nakobe Dean could be the right move. Dean would learn a lot from head coach Mike Vrabel while helping this Titans defense continue to improve year after year.
Trent McDuffie. 32. player. 32. . Cornerback. Arizona Cardinals
Finally, we come to the Arizona Cardinals, who are the only two-loss team left in the NFL, and one that seems to be destined to make a serious run to the Super Bowl this season. Even without star players, the Cardinals are stacking wins, and when all is said and done, Kyler Murray could prove to be an MVP in this league.

Picking with the last pick of the first round of our latest NFL mock draft, Arizona goes on the defensive, bringing in Washington cornerback Trent McDuffie. McDuffie is the kind of lockdown cornerback that this Cardinals team could certainly use, as they continue to be balanced on both sides of the ball.
