2022 NFL Mock Draft: Lions shock with Malik Willis
By Brad Weiss
The Tennessee Titans are a team to keep an eye on this offseason, as they have a roster that is primed for another deep run through the playoffs. While their defense improved in a big way in 2021, they still have some work to do, and that includes bolstering the pass rush this offseason.
If they decide that is a priority, they could land a steal here, as Michigan edge rusher David Ojabo is still available in our mock draft. Any team picking this late would be making a mistake by passing on him, especially a franchise in need of help coming off the edge.
One of the biggest stories of the offseason was the ‘retirement’ of quarterback Tom Brady, considered by many as the best signal-caller of all time. With Brady gone, the franchise will look to Kyle Trask to take over under center, and he is getting glowing reviews from head coach Bruce Arians.
Picking at No. 27 overall, the Buccaneers have to make sure they go with the best player available, and you have to love what Devonte Wyatt brings to the defensive tackle position. He is someone who should be able to come in and dominate in Year 1, and in a wide-open NFC South, Tampa Bay will be looking to get back to the top of the division.
A big storyline the rest of the offseason will be what happens with Aaron Rodgers, who won another MVP award this past season and is a free agent. Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers could end up back together for another Super Bowl run, and if that is the case, they should bring him in a weapon at No. 28 overall.
Davante Adams is likely to be franchise-tagged this offseason, and there are some solid wideouts behind him, but bringing in Jahan Dotson could be the play here. Rodgers has been clamoring for the team to use a first-round pick on the wide receiver spot, and to keep him in Green Bay, they may have to this April.
