It’s SEC preview week and here is at the top 2022 NFL Draft prospects for the conference led by a cornerback

1. CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU 

Stingley is the best cornerback in the country and arguably the best since Jalen Ramsey. He should be a top-five pick.

*****  

2. OT Evan Neal, Alabama 

Neal is a freaky athlete and this is higher than many have him ranked, but I think he’s more special than Penei Sewell.

*****  

3. DT DeMarvin Leal, Texas A&M

Leal is a monster who can play end or tackle. He should easily be a top-10 pick.

*****  

4. LB Christian Harris, Alabama

Harris has great size and his closing speed is nasty. He’s a top-15 pick and my top-ranked linebacker.

*****  

5. TE Jalen Wydermyer, Texas A&M

This is higher than many have him as well but Wydermyer is a first-round talent if he keeps progressing.

*****  

6. CB Kaiir Elam, Florida

Elam is a bit raw in some areas but he has all the athletic skill to be a first-rounder.

*****  

7. WR George Pickens, Georgia

His knee injury doesn’t help but he could be back later in the season and cement that first-round status he had.

*****  

8. OT Kenyon Green, Texas A&M

Is he a tackle? I’m not sure, but I know he’s going to be a valued lineman even if he’s projected as a guard.

*****  

9. DT Jordan Davis, Georgia

Davis is an elite defensive tackle who can crush the pocket.

*****

10. QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss 

Corral makes some mistakes and takes some chances but he has special arm talent.
