21. New England Patriots: Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State

The New England Patriots got the doors blown off on Saturday night, and the biggest issue was the free agents not stepping up. Kendrick Bourne had the best performance on the offense, but they need to find a number one guy for Mac Jones. Ohio State has a pair of guys that could work here, but Garrett Wilson is the pick in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft. Wilson is a strong player in all three phases who can separate, win at the catch point, and win post-catch.

22. Las Vegas Raiders: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

The Las Vegas Raiders are a team that has questions, in terms of the quarterback potentially on the move and on the defense. Defense is the move here for this team, and getting a leader like Nakobe Dean makes a ton of sense. Dean is a phenomenal processor, has the sideline-to-sideline range, and can be a nightmare when coming on a blitz.

23. Arizona Cardinals: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson

The Cardinals will likely have some question marks at corner and edge rusher, especially if Chandler Jones walks in free agency. It’ll be important to get the defense right, especially at corner. Marco Wilson has a ways to go, and Byron Murphy looks best in the slot. Andrew Booth is a great cover corner with excellent eye discipline, ridiculously good ball skills, and sticks his nose in defending the run.

24. Dallas Cowboys: Kenyon Green, OL, Texas A&M

A lot of blunders cost the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, and there are definite questions about the secondary. However, the interior offensive line is one to watch as well. Kenyon Green is a great player who can move around the offensive line and succeed in several spots.
