That’s a wrap on the 2022 NFL Draft! Over the last three days, there were some interesting trades, obvious reaches, and incredible steals. Prospects like Malik Willis and Nakobe Dean dropped into the third round, while guys like Cole Strange and Quay Walker were selected higher than anticipated.
A few teams improved significantly with their selections. Whether that was with several picks in early rounds or building a foundation with some solid later round selections.

Although, he may be undersized, he out preformed his opponents’ game after game. If Dean can stay healthy, he may be one of the most iconic steals in the 2022 NFL draft.
Now moving onto the offensive side of the ball. Even though this wasn’t a selection in this years’ draft, the Eagles traded their No. 18th overall and No.101 overall picks to the Tennessee Titans for Pro Bowler A.J. Brown. The Eagles were looking for a wide receiver who can make an impact after underwhelming seasons from previous first rounder Jalen Reagor. They now have the tools to help quarterback Jalen Hurts take the next step in his career.
