2022 NFL Mock Draft | Round 3, Picks 65-76
We’re now passing into Round 3. It’s the latest of the early rounds, but first and second-round talent can fall to this point or even beyond. Who goes off the board in this range of our 7-Round 2022 NFL Mock Draft?
65. Houston Texans
David Bell, WR, Purdue
With a WR corps composed of contested-catch savant David Bell, Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins, and Anthony Miller, the Texans are starting to resemble a football team.
66. Detroit Lions
Lewis Cine, S, Georgia
67. Jacksonville Jaguars
Cade Otton, TE, Washington
68. New York Jets
Zion Johnson, OG, Boston College
69. Cincinnati Bengals
Isaiah Likely, TE, Coastal Carolina
70. Philadelphia Eagles
Sam Williams, EDGE, Ole Miss
The Eagles have a lot of turnover on deck at EDGE. Sam Williams needs to pass inspection off the field, but his 6’4″, 265-pound frame is well-developed, and he’s a good athlete.
71. New York Giants
Jaxson Kirkland, OL, Washington
72. Atlanta Falcons
Nik Bonitto, EDGE, Oklahoma
73. Carolina Panthers
Henry To’o To’o, LB, Alabama
74. Chicago Bears
Nicholas Petit-Frere, OT, Ohio State
A highly-rated recruit out of high school, Nicholas Petit-Frere visibly progressed in 2020. He has the physical traits to be selected early in 2022. Here, he reunites with Justin Fields.
75. Denver Broncos
Deslin Alexandre, DT, Pittsburgh
76. Las Vegas Raiders
Ricky Stromberg, C, Arkansas
Round 3 | Picks 77-88
77. Arizona Cardinals
Christopher Allen, EDGE, Alabama
Christopher Allen needs a bit more hype heading into 2021. The 6’4″, 250-pound defender had 6 sacks and 13 tackles for loss in 2020. His athletic upside is clearly visible on film.
78. Washington Football Team
Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson
79. Minnesota Vikings
Nehemiah Pritchett, CB, Auburn
80. Los Angeles Chargers
DeAngelo Malone, EDGE, Western Kentucky
81. New England Patriots
Kenderick Duncan Jr., S, Louisville
With a burly 6’3″ frame and an inexhaustible hunger for momentum-shifting plays, Kenderick Duncan Jr. fits the Patriots’ mold. He can be yet another versatile piece.
82. Pittsburgh Steelers
Allie Green IV, CB, Missouri
83. New York Giants
Brian Asamoah II, LB, Oklahoma
84. New Orleans Saints
Martin Emerson, CB, Mississippi State
85. Dallas Cowboys
Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn
86. Tennessee Titans
Alec Lindstrom, C, Boston College
Ben Jones is still solid for Tennessee, but he’s getting up there in age. Alec Lindstrom is a similarly-sized player, and he has the football IQ to hit the ground running.
87. Seattle Seahawks
Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
88. Indianapolis Colts
Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State
Round 3 | Picks 89-100
89. Miami Dolphins
Kyren Williams, RB, Notre Dame
This fit is exciting. Kyren Williams has a ton of positive qualities on tape, most notably his explosiveness and energy. He can be a weapon for Miami, and he’s also a great blocker.
90. Cleveland Browns
Haskell Garrett, DT, Ohio State
91. Buffalo Bills
Derion Kendrick, CB, Georgia
92. Los Angeles Rams
Payton Wilson, LB, NC State
93. Baltimore Ravens
Josh Whyle, TE, Cincinnati
Josh Whyle is another massive sleeper who deserves more attention. The 6’6″, 235-pound tight end is an impressive athlete with run-after-catch ability and stellar body control.
94. Green Bay Packers
Chris Autman-Bell, WR, Minnesota
95. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Eric Gray, RB, Oklahoma
96. Kansas City Chiefs
Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia
97. New Orleans Saints
Ifeanyi Maijeh, DT, Rutgers
Ifeanyi Maijeh is an intriguing prospect. The explosive 6’2″ lineman had 5.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss in 2019. His move to Rutgers could help revitalize his career.
98. San Francisco 49ers
Brenton Cox Jr., EDGE, Florida
99. Baltimore Ravens
Isaiah Pola-Mao, S, USC
100. Los Angeles Rams
Ben Brown, OG, Ole Miss
