2022 NFL mock draft: Picks 19-21

Pick Analysis. WR. Ohio State. Garrett Wilson. 19. Scouting Report. player. 15

Surrounding Jameis Winston with as much talent as possible is a top priority for the Saints and besides Michael Thomas, they really don’t have much talent at receiver.

Garrett Wilson is pretty similar to Buckeye teammate Chris Olave, he projects as a very dependable receiver who is a good route runner, can separate at all levels of the field, and is capable of some spectacular catches.

S. Northwestern. 20. player. 47. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Brandon Joseph

With Stephon Gilmore wanting out and Devin McCourty heading into his mid-30s, the Patriots need to rebuild their secondary.  Adding Brandon Joseph would be a good start to that.

Joseph, unlike a lot of other players in this mock draft, was not a high recruit, in fact, he wasn’t even a top 1,000 ranked player in 247sports composite rankings, however, he has proven himself after a very good season at Northwestern.

What he did in coverage last season has to make him a potential first-round pick.  He had six interceptions, with just a 2.8 passer rating allowed.

21. Pick Analysis. Adam Anderson. Georgia. player. 54. Scouting Report. Edge

After trading back in last year’s draft the Eagles netted themselves an extra first-round pick, which could make three first-rounders if Wentz meets his playing time requirements.  So, with a third selection in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft, the Eagles look to fill a need at edge rusher.

After Saturday night’s dominant performance it’s clear the Bulldogs have one of the best defenses in college football and Adam Anderson is a big part of that.  He is a former five-star, who has been very efficient at rushing the passer in his time so far for Georgia and if he can put together a good full season this year he’ll likely be a first-rounder come April.
