2022 NFL mock draft: Super Bowl edition after the Rams win it all
By Brad Weiss
player. 35. . Linebacker. Tennessee Titans. Nakobe Dean. 26
The Tennessee Titans are a team that should be back in the mix in the AFC Playoff race next season, as they have an elite head coach in Mike Vrabel. With pick No. 26 overall, Vrabel goes out and gets himself an elite talent at the linebacker spot, bringing in Nakobe Dean from Georgia.
This is a kid who is going to be a three-down linebacker at the next level, and the Titans need to continue to revamp that side of the ball. They are a few pieces away from being a Super Bowl contender, and Dean would be an excellent add to this defense.
48. . Wide Receiver. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Garrett Wilson. 27. player
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a solid two-year run with Tom Brady as their quarterback, winning a Super Bowl, and making the playoffs the followings season. While Brady did not technically say he is retiring, he will not be with the team next season, and that means Kyle Trask will get his shot to run Bruce Arians’ offense.
Looking at the roster, they could be losing some key talent at wide receiver, and that is why they select Garrett Wilson here at No. 27 overall. Some feel Wilson could be the best wideout in this draft class, and he would be an excellent complement to the veterans at the position in Tampa Bay.
28. player. 49. . Offensive Lineman. Green Bay Packers. Tyler Linderbaum
The Green Bay Packers have two big goals this offseason, and that is to make sure that both Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are back in the saddle next season. It was reported on Sunday that the Packers are going to go all-in to bring Rodgers back, and rightfully so, as he was named NFL MVP this weekend.
In order to keep Rodgers in Green Bay, they have to prove they are all-in to put talent around him as well, and that includes bolstering the offensive line. Tyler Linderbaum is one of the better interior linemen in this draft class, and getting him at No. 28 overall could be considered a steal.
