2022 NFL Mock Draft: Jacksonville Jaguars overtake Detroit for No. 1 overall pick

Picks No. 15 through 18

The Cleveland Browns had an excellent chance to move into first place in the AFC North on Monday, but unfortunately for them, they were ravaged by COVID. That meant they went into their crucial matchup with the Raiders down nearly 20 players and had to roll with their third-string quarterback in Nick Mullens.

Cleveland hung in there with Las Vegas, but in the end, they were on the wrong end of a 16-14 score and fell to last place in the division. They need help at wide receiver, and with this pick, they add an in-state product in Garrett Wilson, a dominant weapon for the Ohio State Buckeyes who could actually be the top wideout selected.

With their victory over the short-handed Cleveland Browns on Monday night, the Las Vegas Raiders kept their slim playoff hopes alive. Sitting at 7-7 after everything they have gone through this season is an accomplishment in itself, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Looking ahead, this team needs help on both sides of the ball, especially up front along the offensive line. One player who could help them immediately is Charles Cross, a dominant left tackle from Mississippi State would could come in and start at right tackle on Day 1.

The Pittsburgh Steelers do not know what the future holds in terms of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, although there have been rumors that this is his last season. If that is the case, they need to figure out the quarterback spot, but that is something I could see this team doing via a trade or possibly free agency.

With pick No. 17 overall, I like them to target the offensive line, and Kenyon Green is a player who may be the most versatile offensive lineman in this draft class. Green could fill a void for the Steelers on the inside, or outside of their offensive line, protecting whoever is under center next season.

It is going to be an interesting ride for the Baltimore Ravens the rest of the way, as Lamar Jackson still has not returned to practice, and Tyler Huntley is likely to make his second start in a row this weekend. The Ravens are loaded on both sides of the ball and have a few holes, but the glaring one is at offensive tackle.

That is why they reach a bit here at No. 18, bringing in Trevor Penning from an FCS school in Northern Iowa. Penning may not have played big-time college football, but he is a big-time prospect and fills an immediate void for this Ravens team on Day 1.
