The 2022 NFL Draft is upon us, and for each of the 32 teams, their final NFL Draft big board is set. While every franchise has their own theory on drafting talent, the common goal is to trust the final evaluations by sticking to the players at or near the top of your board.
This year, I had five top-10 grades in Aidan Hutchinson, Evan Neal, Ikem Ekownu, Travon Walker and Kyle Hamilton. However, Ekwonu, Walker, and Hamilton garnered borderline top-10 grades, which shows that this was not the ideal year to have a top-10 selection.
In all, my top 25 players had first-round or borderline first-round grades, and my top 79 athletes had a top-100 grade. Those numbers are much closer to the norm, if not even being on the high side.
The deepest position on my 2022 NFL Draft big board was the wide receivers, with 33 making the cut, while the top defensive position was the linebackers with 30. Only eight quarterbacks made the list, though several small-school prospects just narrowly missed out.
It’s been an entertaining pre-draft process, and now it’s time to sit back and watch our favorite teams and prospects remind us that football is inching closer.
