NFL mock drafts 2022: Compare latest from Mel Kiper, Daniel Jeremiah, Todd McShay, other experts

Yes, there is a draft in here. In fact, there are several.

With the NFL cooling off from free agency before it reheats for the 2022 NFL Draft, the constant shuffling of the top of the board continues. With no surefire No. 1 overall pick, few analysts and experts agree on who could be the top selection, or any of the top five picks, or even 10.

BIG BOARD: Ranking the top 150 prospects for 2022 NFL Draft

With the NFL franchise tag deadline come and gone, the blockbuster trades of Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson, the start of free agency and a number of other prominent trades done, the NFL Draft is the next tentpole in the offseason.

The pre-draft process has revealed a meteoric rise for Georgia pass rusher Travon Walker, who is a favorite of many to land in the top 10 of this year's draft. One mock draft even has Walker going No. 1 overall. 

Here's how six of the latest mock drafts — from TSN's Vinnie Iyer, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis and The Athletic's Dane Brugler — stack up:

Vinnie Iyer's mock draft (The Sporting News)

Iyer's latest mock draft was released April 4:

Noteworthy:

— Not one, but two: the Packers take two first-round wide receivers, USC's Drake London and Penn State's Jahan Dotson. The two have different skillsets that fit the Packers' offense perfectly.

— The Eagles grab a new quarterback, courtesy of the Lincoln Highway, selecting Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett with the No. 15 overall pick.

— The Chiefs do their best to mitigate the exit of Tyreek Hill, drafting Arkansas' Treylon Burks with the No. 29 overall pick.

Mel Kiper Jr.'s mock draft (ESPN)

Kiper's latest mock draft was released March 22:

Noteworthy: 

— Breece Hall sneaks into the first round as the lone running back taken.

— With their first-round pick acquired in the Deshaun Watson trade, the Texans pick Georgia's Jordan Davis at No. 13. 

— The Packers draft a WR to replace Davante Adams, taking Treylon Burks at No. 28.

Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft (NFL Network)

Jeremiah's latest mock draft was released March 22:

Noteworthy:

— There can only be one: Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett is the sole first-round quarterback taken in Jeremiah's latest mock.

— The deep pass-rush class is pretty evident: There are seven first-round EDGE talents taken, including going 1-2-3 at the top.

— The Falcons make an immediate pick to replace Calvin Ridley, taking Ridley clone Garrett Wilson with the No. 8 pick.

Todd McShay's mock draft (ESPN)

McShay's latest mock draft was released on April 5:

Noteworthy: 

— The Lions get their passer of the future at No. 32 overall, selecting Cincinnati's Desmond Ridder. 

— The Bengals continue to shore up their offensive line, taking center Tyler Linderbaum at No. 31. 

Charles Davis' mock draft (NFL Network)

Davis' latest mock draft was released on April 5:

Noteworthy:

— A surprise at the very top: Georgia's Travon Walker goes No. 1 overall to the Jaguars. 

Dane Brugler's mock draft (The Athletic)

Brugler's latest mock draft was released on March 8:

Noteworthy:

— Brugler has Kenny Pickett, even post-NFL Combine, as the first QB off the board, with Malik Willis falling all the way to No. 18. 

— The Cowboys (preemptively) replace Amari Cooper with Treylon Burks at No. 24. Burks had a less-than stellar combine, perhaps fueling the fall.

— From Bearcats to big cats: At the back end of the first round, the Lions take Desmond Ridder with Pick No. 32. That feels about right for the Bearcat QB, who some believe is a lock for the second round.
