2022 NFL mock draft: Texans pass on QB in QB-heavy predictions
2022 NFL mock draft: 23rd pick
Pick Analysis. CB. Sevyn Banks. 23. player. 35. Scouting Report. Ohio State
The Tennessee Titans used their top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Virginia Tech’s Caleb Farley, so would they really go back-to-back cornerbacks?
That’s very much a possibility.
Even if you assume that Farley stays healthy and becomes a CB1 type like he certainly can, the Titans said goodbye in 2021 to Malcolm Butler and former first-round pick Adoree Jackson at the cornerback position.
They obviously are hoping that Kristian Fulton can develop into something here, but Fulton only played six games last season.
It seems like Ohio State has at least one guy every year who looks like a possible CB1 or CB2 at the next level and Sevyn Banks has that kind of potential.
There is some projecting being done here, of course. Ohio State has certainly been a DB factory for the NFL but pundits and analysts were burned a year ago for putting Shaun Wade in similar spots in their mock drafts.
Banks is going to have to go out there and prove that he is worthy of a top-25 selection with some inconsistency in his first season as a starter, but at a rocked up 6-1, 200 pounds, Banks can be a weapon inside or outside.
