jdfletch3

The 2022 NFL Scouting Combine is now underway in Indianapolis, Indiana with the top players showing off measurements and interview skills. Ahead of the important event, NFL Network draft analyst Bucky Brooks released a new mock draft with some major changes from the status quo.

Among the biggest storylines of the 2022 NFL Draft, the lackluster quarterback class has dominated headlines throughout. Bucky Brooks includes a combination of offensive linemen and edge rushers in his top five, but has a quarterback going much higher than most in his latest mock draft. With the first of the quarterbacks off the board at No. 6, the rest of the decisions are shaken up by the first domino to fall.

Here are predictions for all 32 first-round picks as the NFL combine interviews come to a close and workouts begin over the weekend.
