25. Cincinnati Bengals: Kenyon Green, OL, Texas A&M

The Cincinnati Bengals have figured out how to let Joe Burrow cook, and that might have saved Zac Taylor’s job. His two games of over 400 yards and four touchdowns were impressive, and the Ja’Marr Chase/Tee Higgins/Tyler Boyd trio will be a problem in the playoffs. One thing that is still an issue is the offensive line, and that’s the pick in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft.

Kenyon Green is a very good player, but could fall in the draft due to a lack of teams believing he can play tackle. He’s still an impressive prospect that could play tackle in a pinch, but his best fit is at guard. Green would bring stability, strong run blocking, a great anchor in pass protection, and good footwork to the Bengals.

26. Buffalo Bills: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

The Buffalo Bills are the one team that might be able to knock off the Chiefs in the playoffs, and it’s because they are dynamic on offense and bring enough defensively to pressure and contain Patrick Mahomes. One thing they are missing is a good CB2, and they get it in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft.

Trent McDuffie is a sound player in man and zone coverage, and he’s a great tackler with a great motor. He’ll chase down plays from across the field, and would be an excellent complement to Tre White on the perimeter.
