2022 NFL Mock Draft: Saints get Terron Armstead replacement, Steelers pick Desmond Ridder

The Jaguars are going Hutchinson at No. 1 after franchising Cam Robinson. The Michigan star is an instant-impact type who can thrive on three downs.

The Lions don’t let a Thibodeaux fall occur. He reunites with former Oregon teammate Penei Sewell in the Motor City.

Walker is an all-upside selection for the rebuilding Texans.

The Jets get their alpha cornerback, something the defense desperately needs.

Neal is a mammoth human who carries 337 pounds as well as any human on this planet. He has All-Pro upside.

Matt Rhule almost has to pick a quarterback here, so he goes with one he knows in Pickett.

The Giants would be thrilled to land Neal and Hamilton if they can’t move down from one of their two first-round picks.

The Falcons pick Willis with the long view in mind. The Georgia native comes home to usher in a new era at quarterback for the Falcons.

Ekwonu’s run-blocking prowess will appeal to Pete Carroll and Co. in Seattle.

The Jets get a blue-chip tackle to protect Zach Wilson. Perfect.

Wilson would give Terry McLaurin a legitimate running mate at receiver and the two can bond over their time at Ohio State.

The Vikings draft Stingley and allow Patrick Peterson to mentor him in 2022. Ideal.

Who knows what the Texans will do. They have needs galore. They go with the best “classic” three-technique pass rusher in his class.

Davis would be an exquisite fit in Baltimore. They love oversized, powerful defensive linemen.

The Eagles can be competitive in 2022 but have their sights set on the 2023 season. Because of that, Williams would be very sensible here.

The Saints made their move to make sure they’d be ahead of the Chargers, another team with a clear offensive tackle need. Penning will be New Orleans’ Week 1 starter at left tackle.

Instead of picking someone like Bernhard Raimann here, the Chargers add another big-bodied weapon for Justin Herbert in London.

Johnson’s fall stops with the Eagles here. Howie Roseman loves building the trenches with early picks.

Olave can become a high-caliber No. 2 wideout in New Orleans opposite Michael Thomas.

The Steelers don’t want to leave the first round without a quarterback and Ridder’s experience and athleticism make him enticing for this franchise.

The Patriots replace J.C. Jackson with a man-coverage specialist in Elam.

Dotson is the twitched-up speedster the Packers need on their offense.

The Cardinals have a gigantic void to fill given Chandler Jones’ departure. Karlaftis can help.

Johnson is an immediate starter at guard and has positional versatility given his length and experience at left tackle.

McDuffie played in a zone-heavy system at Washington, which would make his transition to Buffalo a seamless one.

Dean gives the Titans legitimate coverage capabilities at the linebacker position. Vital today.

The Buccaneers have to infuse youth into their interior group up front. Wyatt has instant-impact ability.

Hall is a tremendous pass-rushing asset, and he can play multiple positions given his unique frame.

Burks is the big-bodied receiver the Chiefs may be shifting toward philosophically on offense.

Thomas is this year’s “surprise” late first-round pick. He won from the inside and outside at San Diego State, and the Chiefs have to get Chris Jones a running mate up front.

The Bengals rejoice when Linderbaum is available at their pick. He has to get stronger but is capable of freaky athletic feats at the center position.

Lloyd slips, but the Lions jump at the opportunity for him to be the quarterback of their defense.
