2022 NFL Mock Draft - ( New Window )
So Just To Be Clear

last year when the Giants were in position to take Parsons, they traded back. So now this year they will be using one of their picks for an edge rusher. Hmmmmm. I know, I know, KT + 2022 pick > than Micah Parsons. I'm not buying and its further evidence that DG needs to go.

So, Parsons was considered an edge last year?
We take Johnson ahead of Karlaftis?  
Gruber : 12/2/2021 5:11 pm : link
There's guaranteed to be some trading down from among the first ten picks.

ok, you know what I mean. Do you wish he was a Giant?
Really  
Professor Falken : 12/2/2021 5:24 pm : link
Like OT Charles Cross. If Neal is gone, that's the guy I want.
Lions  
Hilary : 12/2/2021 5:26 pm : link
Almost all mocks have the lions taking the Oregon DE with the first pick. The Lions need a quarterback. I think they will pick a QB or trade back so that they get extra picks that include a QB
If Neal is there

Ojabo

Is a better prospect than the Florida st kid
I dont  
ripdumaine : 12/2/2021 5:55 pm : link
Agree there. He had Hutchinson on other side drawing double team. JJ was the one being doubled and still was acc defensive player of the year. He is a great prospect in my eyes but again that's jmo
It would be nice to get the top tackle in the class.

Agree. I am surprised that the second guy is rated that high — he's not as highly ranked on PFN, but that's just one site — and I favor trading down with one of those picks, but if Neal is there, it's a no-brainer. BPA, major prospect at RT, which is a major position of need. I guess I'd have to take the call if someone wants to trade for that pick, but the offer better be enormous.

Agreed Ojabo is going to fly up draft boards throughout the process. Would love to see him in blue. 5 FF this season 11 TFL 11 sacks 6’5 250 with a good frame to add more weight. Ideal
Get me some of those Big 10 pass rusher kids  
Spiciest Memelord : 12/2/2021 7:18 pm : link
that Meyer and Harbaugh have on the scientifically advanced synthetic refined vitamin regimens.
In that scenario  
Mattman : 12/2/2021 7:22 pm : link
Neal is a no brainer. While we need an edge I would take Ikem Ekwonu with the second pick.

The right side of the line would get a big boost.
Give me  
Big Rick in FL : 12/2/2021 7:53 pm : link
Evan Neal & Devin Lloyd if Kayvon & Hutch are gone.
No one’s mentioning Kenyon Green  
Earl the goat : 12/2/2021 8:03 pm : link
Texas A and M
Put this kid at LG next to AT and the blind side is set for the next 7 plus years

I'll sign for Lloyd right now. He's a three down, sideline to sideline LB who can rush, fill the hole, hit, and play some coverage.
Jermaine Johnson...  
bw in dc : 12/2/2021 8:14 pm : link
didn't do much at Georgia for two year. But he's find his grove at FSU.

I just don't know if he has elite edge skills. Can bull rush and turn the corner a bit, but doesn't seem to have this great arsenal of moves...

I agree on Ojabo.

And I don’t see IT with Johnson. Late 2nd early 3rd rounder to me.
Dream scenario for me  
BigBlueBuff : 12/2/2021 8:32 pm : link
Bunch of folks who haven't watched him play every down sleeping on Johnson. Guy is a warrior with a non-stop motor who is only getting better.

The good news is that if even the Giants finish strong (while the Bears continue to suck), they will have a shot at Evan Neal with the Bears pick and can probably pick up an interior OL like Kenyon Green in the back half of the first round.
Neal & Linderbaum  
90.Cal : 12/3/2021 12:42 am : link
Then trade up for Ekwonu.

Although I don't disagree that Neal would be a great pick, the real problem with our OL is the interior G-C-G. Players like Ekwonu and Kenyon Green and Tyler Linderbaum have to be in the conversation.

Ekwonu and Green. Both can play T if needed if not we have a pair of stud Guards.

The problem with this statement is he’s already old, what is he 22 or 23? So he’s pretty far along and now will be playing against NFL players instead of 18 year olds. This might be as good as he gets.

Give me Ojabu.

Bernie I m thinking it s a given. DG is gone.
I could def get behind this  
Jim in Forest Hills : 12/3/2021 8:12 am : link
and a QB like Ridder or Cunningham in Rd 2 to compete with Jones. Both can run the same offense.
I would take Johnson over Ojabo  
BigBlueCane : 12/3/2021 10:54 pm : link
He was the best player on FSU's team this year and almost single handily beat Clemson by himself.

He has that hunger in him that wants to fight and win.
