2022 NFL Mock Draft: Malik Willis is first QB off the board

The Tennessee Titans are a team that is rumored to be in the market for a new quarterback this offseason, as some feel they could trade away Ryan Tannehill. While he is no Aaron Rodgers, Tannehill is a quality quarterback at the NFL level and has led his team to the playoffs the past two seasons after taking over for Marcus Mariota.

Truth is, the Titans need more help on defense, and instead of trading away Tannehill, they should continue to trot him out, and use this pick on a linebacker. Nakobe Dean from Georgia could be the pick here, as he has top-15 talent, and would fill the biggest void on this Titans defense in Year 1.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be moving on from Tom Brady this offseason, the future Hall of Fame quarterback who led them to a Super Bowl title in his two-year span with the team. Brady will likely be replaced by Kyle Trask, a 2021 draft pick of the team, which means they can afford to use their 2022 first-round pick on offensive line help.

Enter Tyler Linderbaum, a player who some feel could go in the top half of the draft due to the fact he is the best center in this draft class. However, he falls in our latest mock, and in Tampa Bay, he slides right in as the starting center for Trask in 2022.

One major team to keep an eye on this offseason is the Green Bay Packers, who are losing assistant coaches left and right, and could lose their franchise quarterback and wide receiver. Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are both entering free agency, and word is they could both be on their way out, leaving the Packers with a gaping hole at both positions.

If Rodgers and Adams return, Green Bay should look to bolster the defensive line here at pick No. 28 overall, bringing in DeMarvin Leal. I believe this could be the best defensive tackle in this class after all is said and done, and in Green Bay, he joins a veteran defensive line for one of the best teams in the NFC.
