2022 NFL Mock Draft: 2 quarterbacks land in the top-10
By Brad Weiss
54. . Wide Receiver. Philadelphia Eagles. Jameson Williams. 15. player
The Philadelphia Eagles will pick at No. 15 overall, and while they do not have three first-round picks anymore, they still have two this April. One thing is for sure, the team is going to build around Jalen Hurts, at least for now, so it makes sense to get him a weapon here.
The selection for the Eagles here is Alabama wideout Jameson Williams, who many believe will end up being the best wide receiver in this draft class. Williams is coming off a devastating injury, but he has already been ahead of schedule and could make Eagles fans forget the selection of Jalen Reagor a few years back.
Wide Receiver. New Orleans Saints. Drake London. 16. player. 15.
The New Orleans Saints appear to be set to roll with Jameis Winston for the foreseeable future, and rightfully so. When he is on, Winston can be an elite signal-caller in this league, and the Saints have committed to him moving forward.
With pick No. 16 overall, the Saints go out and get him an elite weapon in the passing game, selecting USC star wide receiver Drake London. This is a kid who is blessed with incredible physical gifts, and if Winston wants to just throw one up there, London is likely to come down with it.
Offensive Tackle. Los Angeles Chargers. Trevor Penning. 17. player. 13.
The Los Angeles Chargers will go into the 2022 season as a Super Bowl contender, but they were considered one last year too and did not make the playoffs. They are going to have to start figuring out how to win games when they count, especially with a generational talent like Justin Herbert at quarterback.
To get the most out of Herbert, they have to continue to stack talent around him, and most importantly, protect him. With pick No. 17 overall, they take the best offensive tackle available, and here, it is Trevor Penning who they add to team with star left tackle, Rashawn Slater, for the long haul.
player. 54. . Offensive Lineman. Philadelphia Eagles. Tyler Linderbaum. 18
The Philadelphia Eagles will now hold two first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft, this after swinging a draft pick trade with the New Orleans Saints. After picking a wide receiver for quarterback Jalen Hurts at pick No. 15 overall, they add some protection for their young franchise quarterback at No. 18.
The pick here at No. 18 overall is Tyler Linderbaum, considered by everybody as the best interior lineman in this draft class. The Eagles have been blessed with elite centers for quite some time, and Linderbaum could be the next in a long list at the position group.
