Hey everyone! With the first full week of college football approaching this weekend, we have a special surprise for you. You know what they say: It’s never too early for a mock draft! In that spirit, we’re offering you a 2022 NFL Mock Draft before the 2021 season even starts! We have used Tankathon’s projected draft order. Of course, the 2022 NFL Draft will look very different from this exercise with a full season of football left to be played, but we thought it would be fun to do this and be able to look back on it come April. Enjoy!
