Charles Cross has been billed as the top pass-protector in the class, and his 84.7 PFF pass-blocking grade in a pass-happy Mississippi State offense last year backs that up. They needed to give Grady Jarrett some help along the defensive front, specifically off the edge. Hes a great complementary piece to what the Bills already have in their backfield in Zack Moss and Devin Singletary. But the philosophy makes sense.

Still, he was regularly too high in the run game and had a rough week of practices in that regard. R2 (51) C Cam Jurgens, Nebraska Farrell brings a strong anchor to the defensive line, while Butler is more apt to win with quickness inside. R6 (181) Edge Kyron Johnson, Kansas While Pickett is a quality athlete, hes nowhere near dynamic enough to make hay on the ground in the professional ranks. .

R3 (68) CB Martin Emerson, Mississippi State He grabbed a future starting quarterback in the experienced, mobile Pickett, found a falling receiver in Pickens, who will be a playmaker, and took a shot on the potential upside of the long, athletic five-technique Leal in the third round. No one else in this class sniffs Williams speed or movement skills. Day 2: This is the biggest reach of the draft so far per the PFF Big Board, which had WanDale Robinson at 125th overall. He is a good cover player who fills a major need. Leo Chenal is a throwback linebacker who's an inexperienced coverage type. R6 (187) T Nick Zakelj, Fordham Washington selected Jahan Dotson as the fifth wide receiver taken in the first round, representing one of the biggest reaches on Day 1. It was in 2021 that Ogbonnia finally started to make a difference as a pass-rusher. He's fast and he will be a lot cheaper than Samuel.

Their fifth-round compensatory selection turned into Mitchell, a pass-catcher I expect Detroit to utilize immediately. If he develops some counters to his speed rushes, he can be a fantastic pass-rusher for the 49ers. Junior was one of my top non-combine invitees in the draft because of his fluidity and size. I predicted New England would select Marcus Jones, a diminutive but competitive slot corner and returner, in the third round. They have to protect the quarterback better, and they will. Analysis: The Saints traded away future capital before the draft started to secure another first-round pick this year, using a similar credit card philosophy they've followed in their salary cap management over the years. R4 (112) TE Daniel Bellinger, San Diego State Grade: B, The Dolphins did a reasonable job despite having minimal draft capital. The secondary needed help and it got two immediate contributors in Cine and Booth, who would have been a first-rounder if not for injuries. He was responsible for 646 deep receiving yards this season, the fifth-most in the FBS. Teams loved him more than analysts and his tape showed you why. The Panthers played spinning tops at left tackle last year, so getting a tackle was a no brainer in this draft. I am not sure he's A.J. Smart.

The Lions have to be able to impact the quarterback better than they did last year.

In fact, Metchie led the conference in targets against single coverage with a step or more of separation over the past two seasons. R2 (34) WR Christian Watson, North Dakota State He's a good player, a tough player, a physical player, but he isn't an explosive rusher. Grade: A- (Joshua Bickel-USA TODAY. Quality player. Day 1: The Minnesota Vikings traded all the way back from No. I like what they did. This is a great fit in Miami.

The Chargers signed veterans on the defensive line this offseason, but Ogbonnia was too good of a value to ignore in the fifth. Day 1: The Falcons receiving corps badly needed an infusion of talent, and London should provide a nice boost. Hes a freaky athlete who is still learning the position, but he has as high a ceiling as any of the off-ball linebackers in the 2022 class. He is an aggressive player that will give them a nice tackle combo to go with Ryan Ramczyk. R5 (163) WR Kyle Philips, UCLA Day 2: In four seasons at Baylor, JT Woods never earned a PFF grade above 67.0. Analysis: The Rams got a Super Bowl win thanks to the trades of first- and second-round picks for Matthew Stafford and Von Miller. Drake Jackson is a phenomenal value at No. The 49ers didnt have a Day 1 pick after trading up for quarterback Trey Lance a year ago. He allowed 661 yards on 60 catches from 108 targets the past two seasons. I love Johnson. Day 2: The 72nd-ranked player on PFFs Big Board, Logan Hall is a bit of a reach in our eyes for a player who projects as a pass-rushing project. R5 (167) CB DaRon Bland, Fresno State R3 (70) LB Chad Muma, Wyoming Waletzko graded above 70.0 in five of his nine games this past season. Day 2: Logan Bruss has played over 1,400 career snaps at right tackle and 352 career snaps at right guard, but he projects best as a guard in the NFL. The Saints must. He missed just seven tackles on 138 attempts in his college career. The Georgia off-ball linebacker isnt a downhill player in the run game, and he was still more of a reactor than a playmaker. He also has the skill to play corner, which they also could use in terms of coverage help. Even though hes 6-foot-3, 273 pounds, Jackson is much more of a finesse rusher who lacks any sort of power move. R2 (60) CB Cam Taylor-Britt, Nebraska The Jets now have a 1-2 punch at running back with Hall and Michael Carter.

R6 (214) CB Ja'Sir Taylor, Wake Forest R3 (94) QB Matt Corral, Mississippi That's what the Buccaneers did in this draft. With high hopes for his draft potential in 2021, Mitchell unfortunately went down with a torn ACL in Week 2 against Middle Tennessee State.

R1 (8) WR Drake London, USC 1 CB abilities. The Ravens will be getting a player who will help their back end right away. Day 1: The Colts traded away their first-round pick as part of the Carson Wentz trade last offseason. He earned an 81.5 PFF coverage grade in 2021 with Alabama, allowing a passer rating of just 52.3. Nonetheless, this still looks like good value for a dynamic playmaker like Austin. However, they used a third-round compensatory pick acquired in the Trey Lance deal with the Niners to land a nice chase linebacker in Tindall. Analysis: The trade for Deshaun Watson sets the direction of the franchise for the foreseeable future, as the Browns gave up three first-round picks as part of the deal.

In 2021, Williams tied JaMarr Chases 2019 record for the most 50-plus-yard receiving touchdowns since 2014. With the run on them, they end up with a player who is good in pass protection but needs work in the run game. But he might be a 12-sack guy most of his career, rather than a 16-sack guy.

R5 (150) DI Thomas Booker, Stanford R7 (252) EDGE Jeffrey Gunter, Coastal Carolina. R7 (234) DI Jonathan Ford, Miami (FL.)

He posted a 4.37-second 40-yard dash and an 11-foot-1 broad jump at the NFL Scouting Combine. He is a fluid athlete who is, at a minimum, going to be a quality return specialist, as he was the highest-graded kick returner in the country last season. Walker's play lacked consistency at Penn State, but his potential to play left tackle was worth a pick in the late stages of the draft. R6 (235) EDGE Daniel Hardy, Montana State Marcus Jones and Jack Jones feel like chippy Patriots nickel corners, but they're severely undersized. Good pick. He then lit up the Senior Bowl, not losing a single pass-blocking rep during that week. I love this pick.

Brown from the Titans to bolster the receiver group, secured a future starting center in Jurgens and put aside Dean's medical issues to bring in the top-50 talent in the third round. He has elite length for the position and could make a real name for himself in press coverage, but he struggles in off coverage and in space. R1 (20) QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh And given Cincinnatis current roster construct, hes going to be playing a different role than he did as a Wolverine.
