2022 NFL Mock Draft: Seahawks grab Matt Corral after trade, Kenny Pickett falls out of Round 1

Walker has recently trended toward being the No. 1 overall pick, and that’s where he ultimately lands in this mock. He’s going to be the first pick. I think?

Easy selection for the Lions. They keep Hutchinson local and add an alpha rusher to their defense.

The Jets create the first major surprise of the first round, going with Johnson over Kayvon Thibodeaux.

The Giants plug Neal in at right tackle and are starting to feel happy about their offensive line.

The Panthers want to move back but also need a left tackle. They opt for Cross who’s an immediately started at a vital position.

The Giants will love the press-man ability of Gardner with Wink Martindale now calling the shots on defense.

Concerned about the Seahawks maybe going offensive tackle, the Jets move up to spots to land Ekwonu. It costs them No. 10, No. 111 and a 2023 fourth-rounder to do so.

The Seahawks jump at the opportunity to pick Thibodeaux here. Their defense needs loads of work.

The Falcons are happy to slide back two picks and still land the big-bodied London.

The Commanders add another Ohio State receiver to add to their receiver room to pair with Terry McLaurin for Carson Wentz.

Loaded with draft ammo, the Eagles make a move to get Williams as they see him slip within striking distance. Philadelphia moves No. 83 in this trade.

GM Nick Caserio knows the importance of quality, versatile safety play given his time in New England. This is an easy pick for the Texans, Hamilton falling into their lap.

Penning feels like a Ravens blocker. He’s huge, overwhelmingly strong and excels in the run game.

The Vikings get and extra third-rounder and land Olave. Big wins at the start of the Kwesi Adofo-Mensah era.

The Saints see a golden opportunity to groom Willis under Jameis Winston for a season.

The Chargers want to add more talent to their secondary, even after signing J.C. Jackson. McDuffie learning from Jackson would be huge for his development.

The Eagles are thrilled Davis was still available with their second pick and run the selection to the podium.

The Saints have to address left tackle early, and they see mammoth upside with Smith.

Burks gives the Steelers Chase Claypool vibes, and it’s an offense that could use more receiver help.

No one loves tall, oversized linebackers more than Bill Belichick, and he has a connection to Kirby Smart through Nick Saban.

Dotson is the exact type of receiver who’ll thrive in Green Bay with Rodgers because of his crisp route-running.

Watson was a star as a go-ball and jet sweep specialist at North Dakota State. That’s exactly how he’ll be used in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense.

The Cowboys have lost some pieces from their once vaunted offensive line, and Johnson’s clean film and positional versatility make him an easy pick here.

The fact that Booth wasn’t able to work out during the pre-draft process doesn’t bother the Bills. He’s a freaky specimen at corner when healthy.

The Titans don’t love how the board fell but are happy to pick Ridder here to be their quarterback of the future.

Even if Rob Gronkowski returns in 2022, the Buccaneers have a glaring long-term need at tight end.

Lloyd and Campbell would formulate one large, rangy linebacker tandem in Green Bay.

The Chiefs have to get more pass-rushing juice and that’s precisely would Ebiketie would bring to the defense.

The Chiefs aren’t concerned about how the consensus views the receiver class and pick Moore to help replace Tyreek Hill.

The Bengals’ offensive line renovation gets a nice cherry on top with Linderbaum in the late stages of the first round.

The Seahawks trade back into the first round to pick a quarterback and get that fifth-year option. At Ole Miss, Corral played for Lane Kiffin, a former Pete Carroll assistant. The Lions net No. 40, No. 109 and a 2023 third-round pick in this deal.
