NC State • Jr • 6'4" / 320 lbs

Projected Team

Jacksonville

PROSPECT RNK

9th

POSITION RNK

4th
Ekwonu should be a rather large riser after the combine given Evan Neal's absence and the simple fact that Ekwonu looks like a tremendous athlete on film, and he has the opportunity to surprise people with his stature and length.
Round 1 - Pick 2
Michigan • Jr • 6'7" / 268 lbs

Projected Team

Detroit

PROSPECT RNK

4th

POSITION RNK

2nd
If Hutchinson's tests match the hype, he very well could all but officially lock himself into the No. 2 overall spot here to the Detroit Fighting Dan Campbells.

Notre Dame • Jr • 6'4" / 224 lbs

Projected Team

Houston

PROSPECT RNK

3rd

POSITION RNK

1st
Hamilton is going to test like a Derwin James type athlete, and he's a James-type prospect at the safety spot. He should be a top 5 pick.
Round 1 - Pick 4
Alabama • Jr • 6'7" / 340 lbs

Projected Team

N.Y. Jets

PROSPECT RNK

6th

POSITION RNK

2nd

PROSPECT RNK

8th

Pittsburgh • Jr • 6'3" / 220 lbs

Projected Team

Carolina

PROSPECT RNK

22nd

POSITION RNK

3rd
Matt Rhule loves adding players with whom he already has a relationship. The former Temple recruit lands in Carolina and will be primed to start Week 1. Giddy up.

N.Y. Giants

PROSPECT RNK

Ohio State • Jr • 6'0" / 187 lbs

Projected Team

Washington

PROSPECT RNK

23rd

POSITION RNK

5th
Olave as the first receiver off the board? Yep. If he runs as many believe he will -- high 4.3s -- that will be in play.
Round 1 - Pick 12
Ohio State • Jr • 6'0" / 183 lbs

Projected Team

Minnesota

PROSPECT RNK

7th

POSITION RNK

1st
Wilson has a lot of Stefon Diggs to his game, and the Vikings wouldn't mind having that type of player back in the offense for Kirk Cousins.
Round 1 - Pick 13
Florida State • Jr • 6'5" / 254 lbs

Projected Team

Cleveland

PROSPECT RNK

36th

POSITION RNK

Philadelphia

PROSPECT RNK

5th

Round 1 - Pick 16
Michigan • Jr • 6'4" / 252 lbs

Projected Team

Philadelphia

PROSPECT RNK

39th

POSITION RNK

6th
Ojabo should crush his workout, which would solidify him as a top 20 selection, and the Eagles have to address their edge-rusher spot.
Round 1 - Pick 17
Arkansas • Jr • 6'2" / 225 lbs

Projected Team

L.A. Chargers

PROSPECT RNK

17th

POSITION RNK

3rd
Burks is an oversized version of the Deebo Samuel / A.J. Brown type at receiver who thrives after the catch because of how strong is he when contact arrives.
Round 1 - Pick 18
USC • Jr • 6'4" / 213 lbs

Projected Team

New Orleans

PROSPECT RNK

18th

POSITION RNK

4th
London may not be the fastest wideout in this class -- which would sink him on draft night -- but the rest of his game is that of a No. 1 wideout in the NFL.
Round 1 - Pick 19
Washington • Jr • 6'0" / 200 lbs

Projected Team

Philadelphia

PROSPECT RNK

51st

POSITION RNK

20th

Utah • Jr • 6'3" / 235 lbs

Projected Team

New England

PROSPECT RNK

19th

POSITION RNK

2nd

Round 1 - Pick 22
Washington • Jr • 5'11" / 193 lbs

Las Vegas

PROSPECT RNK

32nd

POSITION RNK

Boston College • Jr • 6'3" / 316 lbs

Projected Team

Arizona

PROSPECT RNK

37th

POSITION RNK

7th
The Cardinals could use a stronger front to keep Kyler Murray more clean in 2022. Johnson is one of the safer blockers in this class.
Round 1 - Pick 24
Purdue • Jr • 6'4" / 263 lbs

Projected Team

Dallas

PROSPECT RNK

11th

POSITION RNK

3rd

Tennessee

PROSPECT RNK

29th

Tampa Bay

PROSPECT RNK

13th

POSITION RNK

Round 1 - Pick 28
Alabama • Jr • 6'1" / 180 lbs

Projected Team

Green Bay

PROSPECT RNK

10th

POSITION RNK

2nd
A receiver for the Packers! I don't expect Williams to boost his stock, obviously, due to his knee injury, but at this point the Packers may realize it's too good of a scenario to pass on.
Round 1 - Pick 29
Northern Iowa • Jr • 6'7" / 325 lbs

Projected Team

Miami

PROSPECT RNK

50th

POSITION RNK

11th
Penning has NFL offensive tackle size and power at the point of attack. The Dolphins have to get sturdier up front.

Projected Team

Kansas City

PROSPECT RNK

35th

POSITION RNK

4th

Georgia • Jr • 6'3" / 304 lbs

Projected Team

Cincinnati

PROSPECT RNK

44th

POSITION RNK

5th

Michigan • Jr • 6'0" / 195 lbs

Projected Team

Detroit

PROSPECT RNK

24th

POSITION RNK
