2022 MOCK DRAFT - 5/24/21

I am making a even harder prediction to guess the draft order. Don't lose your minds Packers fans, but I am believing Rodgers either retires or gets traded. Any guy so stubborn that he won't talk to his own family unless they agree with him on everything seems too set in his ways to bend to me. So I expect them to take a stumble down the standings with Jordan love at QB, and they will be picking higher than you probably expect. The picks are all mine, but I have done really limited tape study on most of them. They are mostly players I couldn't help noticing while watching last years tape, or guys I expected to enter last years draft that stayed in school. Due to the financial losses from Covid I expect another off season with a lot of veteran QB movement , and a lot of first round QB'S again, WHETHER THEY DESERVE IT OR NOT. So a lot of trades will probably happen, but I don't put trades in mocks until it's draft season again. Without further ado here it is. Agreeing or disagreeing is welcome, but please do it intelligently & respectfully or I just won't post it. so here it is. Enjoy.

Way Too Early 2022 NFL MOCK DRAFT

The 2021 draft is finally over, and teams are scrambling for undrafted free agents as I type this. I'm sure many of you, especially the ones who didn't like their teams draft this year, or who think that their team is likely to be picking high in 2022 are curious about next year. Been grinding tape since Sunday afternoon, and I am taking a week long day break after I finish this and the grades article. I haven't done much work on these guys, except for the few players who I jumped the gun on because I expected them to enter the 2021 draft, but they instead opted to stay in school. While I have watched all of these players actually play many times  , that is not the same as breaking down the film on them, and I have only currently broken down the film on one game for 61 players.  There are also 7 more players that went back to school I have done 3 games or more games on . Throw in the guys who are draft eligible sophomores that I don't expect to even contemplate going Pro so early, or that haven't played much yet and aren't on my radar right now, and you get the picture. Then chime in with the fact we have little idea what teams will need at that time because of injuries, free agency, the cap, and who knows what else could happen ? Every year when I post this I look back at last years early mock, and you can see how little we know this far out, because it's a miracle if someone even gets half of the 1rst rounders right. So many guys disappoint, go back to school, get injuries, get in trouble , and others come out of the woodwork. This year you have to add the Covid problems and opt outs. Last years way too early mock actually went a lot better than I expected it to turn out after Covid, but it was kind of feast or famine. 3 of the guys I projected to go top 13 went undrafted, but I also hit on 14 first rounders which was great, and a lot more than last years 9. The complete totals of the 32 guys I projected to go in the first round in 2021 right after last years draft ended were : 1rst-14, 2nd-7, 3rd- 1, 4th-1, 5th-1, 6th-3, plus 2 went back to school, and the aforementioned 3 who went undrafted. So you can see what a crapshoot it really is at this time. I am making a even harder prediction to guess the draft order. Don't lose your minds Packers fans, but I am believing Rodgers either retires or gets traded. Any guy so stubborn that he won't talk to his own family unless they agree with him on everything seems too set in his ways to bend to me. So I expect them to take a stumble down the standings with Jordan love at QB, and they will be picking higher than you probably expect. The picks are all mine, but I have done really limited tape study on most of them.

2021 4TH ROUND MOCK DRAFT - 5/1/21

0 WOW! I hate this draft, but NFL teams have a lot more info than I do. Still waiting to hear why some guys fell, but I have already seen a player drafted ( Nahshon Wright to Dallas at #99) that I haven't watched, and that was in the 3rd round. Maybe he's a hidden gem, but I can't believe they passed on Melifonwu. Can't wait for things to return to normal next year when I will have a better idea of who to watch. Still a lot of talent left on the board, and some of them really blow my mind. The Jags are on the clock again, and will they keep the pick? Feel free to leave a comment. Agreeing or disagreeing is welcome, but please do it intelligently and respectfully. If you can't, or resort to personal attacks, I just won't post it. So here it is. Enjoy.
