*****
1. QB Spencer Rattler, Oklahoma
My No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Rattler has amazing arm talent and should have a massive season.
*****
2. LB Nik Bonitto, Oklahoma
Bonitto's pass rushing skills are coveted but he’s also very good in space.
*****
3. RB Breece Hall, Iowa State
Hall can make an argument for the best running back in the country. His draft position will likely all depend on how he runs.
*****
4. DT Perrion Winfrey, Oklahoma
Winfrey is a gap-shooter at times and run-stuffer at other times.
*****
5. RB Eric Gray, Oklahoma
*****
6. DE Ochaun Mathis, TCU
Haven’t heard of him? You will as TCU continues to churn out NFL prospects.
*****
7. DB Tre Sterling, Oklahoma State
Sterling is of the best defensive backs you’ve never heard of. He is a ballhawk.
*****
8. TE Charlie Kolar, Iowa State
Kolar has the makings of a solid 10-year NFL tight end. He’s not great at anything but is good at everything.
*****
9. OT Obinna Eze, TCU
He has all the physical skills to be special and this step up in competition from Memphis is big.
*****
10. CB Trevius Hodges-Tomlinson, TCU
Hodges is not the biggest but he plays bigger and plays the ball very well.
