2022 NFL Mock Draft: Dolphins pick Tyler Linderbaum inside top 10, Packers pick Jahan Dotson

Back to the penciled-in No. 1 pick for the Lions, with the ultra-explosive Thibodeaux. He can be a defensive building block for years.

Hutchinson has an NFL body with high-caliber athleticism and an arsenal of pass-rushing moves like most veterans. This could be the first of a multitude of early picks for the Texans if they can trade Deshaun Watson this offseason.

More offensive line investment for Zach Wilson. The young quarterback improving is the most vital development for the Jets franchise.

In this scenario, the Jaguars would likely try to trade down, but without trades in this mock, they pick the best available player in Hamilton to add a legitimate playmaker to their defensive back seven.

Philadelphia would love to add the blue-chip cornerback prospect to their secondary that’s allowing the highest completion percentage to opposing quarterbacks in the league.

Ekwonu has grown-man strength and has tackle/guard flexibility, perfect for the Giants.

There’s a greater need in the secondary for the Jets, but not a cornerback worth picking here. So Robert Saleh gets another pass rusher for his defense.

Dean keeps getting better, and seems faster across the line and in coverage every week.

Yes, a quarterback for the Football Team, after a strong Taylor Heinicke performance. Ron Rivera’s club has to plan for the future at the position, and Corral has legitimate upside because of his arm talent and athleticism.

Linderbaum is everyone’s favorite center prospect and of course the Dolphins have to add more early picks to their offensive line.

Leal is a versatile game-wrecker who’ll bring more juice to a good but aging Eagles defensive front.

Enagbare has the length, athleticism, and ascending pass-rush move arsenal to go a lot higher than people think.

First major surprise of Round 1. Ebiketie is a Temple transfer who has 8.5 sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss at Penn State this season.

The Broncos have to address the quarterback spot, and Pickett feels like a better, more dynamic version of Kirk Cousins, and Denver GM George Paton was a key member of the Minnesota front office when the Vikings signed the quarterback in 2018.

Cross is an impeccable athlete with All-Pro upside. The Eagles have to get younger on their offensive line.

Regardless of who’s playing quarterback in Cleveland in 2022, more depth at receiver is absolutely needed. Wilson looks like the alpha receiver prospect in this class.

Gardner is the physical outside cornerback the Bengals need for the long-term during the Joe Burrow era.

No one loves Clemson prospects more than Mike Mayock, and he grabs an athletic, ball-skills extraordinaire in Booth to replenish the talent in the cornerback room.

If Cam Newton plays decently down the stretch, he could earn the 2022 starting job for the Panthers. But Willis is too high-upside for Carolina to pass here, and he’d learn a lot from sitting for a while behind Newton.

The Chargers get a refined route runner to get mentored by Keenan Allen for a couple of seasons.

A little run on receivers, with London, the athletic big-body target, landing in Sean Payton’s offense. Glorious fit.

Bill Belichick has a thing for aggressive man corners and Elam is one of the best of that type in this class.

The large San Diego State rusher has 8.5 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss on the year. He’s the high-motor type with power the Chiefs need on the edge.

The Buccaneers can’t stop, won’t stop drafting receivers. Burks learning the intricacies of rebounding the football in the NFL from Mike Evans could yield spectacular results for Tampa Bay.

The Steelers will like Ridder’s multiple years of experience and winning ways at Cincinnati.

Given McDuffie’s versatility, the Ravens will deploy him in a variety of ways in Wink Martindale’s blitz-happy defense.

I keep going back to this pairing. Howell hasn’t been tremendous this season, but he hasn’t fallen flat on his face. Because of his arm talent, there’s some upside to his game.

The Cowboys go into the trenches to help sustain the efficiency of their offensive line.

Somewhat of a down season from Green leads to him slipping, but the Bills will gladly grab him here to shore up the interior of their offensive line.

Emerson is a tall, rangy cornerback with multiple years of quality production in the SEC.

Vrabel snags a former top recruit from his alma-mater who’s steadily improved his play at Columbus.

Dotson is a younger version of Randall Cobb. If he stays in Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers will love him.
