2022 NFL Mock Draft: Aidan Hutchinson Goes First, Four QBs In Round 1
By Evan Bachman
17. Cincinnati Bengals: Kenyon Green, OL, Texas A&M
The Bengals received some criticism last draft for not taking Penei Sewell to protect Joe Burrow. However Ja’Marr Chase has made it pretty abundantly clear that they’ve hit a home run by selecting him. With that said, the Bengals do still need to improve their offensive line.
Kenyon Green is a former five-star, who is a very powerful blocker, capable of moving defenders. Green also would provide the Panthers with a lot of versatility as already this season he’s played 80+ snaps at left tackle, left guard, right guard, and right tackle and could play any of those positions in the NFL.
18. Cleveland Browns: Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State
After Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t work out in Cleveland ultimately resulting in him getting released it’s left the Browns with a need at wide receiver.
Garrett Wilson projects as a very complete, dependable receiver at the next level. He is an excellent, very smooth route runner, who can separate at all levels of the field. He also has had success lining up as a slot receiver and out wide, so he provides versatility for the Jets.
Wilson played for an Ohio State offense that had two other star receivers, but still impressively put up over 1,000 receiving yards and 13 total touchdowns. He is a lock to come off the board in the first round at this point and he goes to the Browns in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft.
