We’re just a day away from the real 2022 NFL draft.
And that probably means you’ve read mock after mock — including our own from Christian D’Andrea! — as we await the clock to start on Thursday night.
So, for the final time this offseason, we’re taking a handful of experts from around the internet and crunching their projections together to form a consensus mock draft. Our last consensus mock draft had Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson and Ikem Ekwonu from NC State going Nos. 1 and 2.
We’re using a bunch of mocks — specifically, our latest mock from Christian D’Andrea, one from Draft Wire, ESPN’s Matt Miller, CBS Sports and NFL.com. We look at the picks each made and average out each player’s positions and match them to each of the first 32 picks. Anyone left out of a first-round mock was assigned the 33rd pick.
Be sure to check out D’Andrea’s latest mock draft! Away we go below the mock:
