The NFL Draft is arriving quickly. The NFL Scouting Combine and most of the pre-draft rituals have passed. That means we’re in the home stretch and it’s time to get serious about mock drafts. This year’s draft could be one of the most difficult to forecast in recent years. Nonetheless, we gave it a shot and revised it several times, so feel free to peruse our official 2022 NFL mock draft.
2022 NFL Mock Draft Predictions For The Entire 1st Round
1. Jaguars – Aidan Hutchison, Edge Rusher, Michigan
The Jaguars must decide whether they want an offensive lineman to help protect Trevor Lawrence or if they want an impact player on the defensive side of the ball. An outstanding pass rusher is nearly a requirement in today’s game. In addition, the Jaguars have early-round talent at offensive tackle. Hutchinson is too good to pass up after racking up 14 sacks and finishing second in the Heisman Trophy voting last season, especially if Jacksonville can get him to play opposite Josh Allen. This is not an easy decision, but Hutchison is a safe bet, even if he lacks the upside of some other players, making him Jacksonville’s best option.
