2022 NFL Mock Draft | Round 3, Picks 65-76
65) Houston Texans
Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, CB, TCU
You want pests in your secondary. Pests are annoying. Pests are disruptive. And they make life harder on an offense. Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson is that kind of player. He’s always near the ball, and he’s always annoying offenses.
66) Detroit Lions
Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State
67) Jacksonville Jaguars
Jalen Wydermyer, TE, Texas A&M
68) New York Jets
Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State
Breece Hall doesn’t have elite contact balance for his size, which might ultimately cause a slide. But Hall is still a stellar creator with excellent vision and lateral agility. He’s a perfect fit for Mike LaFleur’s offense.
69) Cincinnati Bengals
Channing Tindall, LB, Georgia
70) Carolina Panthers
Jarrett Patterson, OL, Notre Dame
71) Philadelphia Eagles
Brian Asamoah II, LB, Oklahoma
72) Las Vegas Raiders
Derion Kendrick, CB, Georgia
Aside from Trayvon Mullen, the Raiders don’t have a lot of long-term options at cornerback. Playing in an elite Georgia defense, Derion Kendrick may ultimately be an option in April. He has good size, fluidity, and physicality in coverage.
73) New York Giants
Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
74) Atlanta Falcons
Eric Gray, RB, Oklahoma
75) Chicago Bears
Ja’Sir Taylor, CB, Wake Forest
An intriguing riser, Ja’Sir Taylor had a pick-six and a punt return TD in Week 1 for Wake Forest. He’s another Feldman Freak — although he’s only 5’10”, 185 pounds, he has a 4.4 40-yard dash and a 38.5-inch vertical. He’s chippy, explosive, and incredibly dynamic.
76) Washington Football Team
Zion Nelson, OT, Miami
Round 3 | Picks 77-88
77) Arizona Cardinals
Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State
Kenneth Walker III tore apart Northwestern’s defense to the tune of 264 yards and 4 touchdowns on 23 carries in Week 1. He can be a viable NFL running back with his burst, vision, and contact balance — especially at 5’10”, 210 pounds.
78) Pittsburgh Steelers
David Bell, WR, Purdue
79) Denver Broncos
Kedon Slovis, QB, USC
80) Minnesota Vikings
Lewis Cine, S, Georgia
Georgia defenders have monopolized Day 2 in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft, and that’s no accident. The Bulldogs boast a vast wealth of talent, and Lewis Cine — a rangy, physical safety who plays with his hair on fire — is near the top of the list.
81) New England Patriots
Travon Walker, DL, Georgia
82) Los Angeles Chargers
Jaxson Kirkland, OL, Washington
83) New York Giants
Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State
84) Indianapolis Colts
Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama
The depth of this receiver class is slowly improving, which might push players like Jalen Tolbert down the board. But on Day 2, Tolbert provides plenty of value. He’s a well-rounded receiving threat who can stretch the field for Frank Reich and the Colts.
85) Dallas Cowboys
Derick Hall, EDGE, Auburn
86) New Orleans Saints
Woodi Washington, CB, Oklahoma
87) Tennessee Titans
Jahleel Billingsley, TE, Alabama
There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding Jahleel Billingsley‘s stock right now. And after Cameron Latu’s performance in Week 1, Billingsley might not be due for the same workload. Still, he has elite receiving potential and can be a steal this late.
88) Seattle Seahawks
Tyler Davis, DT, Clemson
Round 3 | Picks 89-100
89) Cleveland Browns
Isaiah Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma
Isaiah Thomas was an absolute game-wrecker against Tulane in Week 1. He’s quietly leapfrogged Nik Bonitto as the Sooners’ best EDGE prospect. At 6’5″, 266 pounds, Thomas has a dangerous combination of length, explosiveness, and tenacity.
90) Los Angeles Rams
Tykee Smith, DB, Georgia
91) Miami Dolphins
Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
92) Baltimore Ravens
Zion Johnson, G, Boston College
93) Green Bay Packers
Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson
94) Buffalo Bills
Trae Barry, TE, Boston College
95) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sevyn Banks, CB, Ohio State
Athleticism has never been an issue for Sevyn Banks. He’s 6’1″, 200 pounds, and he had a 4.5 40-yard dash and a 42-inch vertical coming out of high school — after tearing his ACL. The questions revolve more around his processing, but Tampa has had success with athletic specimens like Sean Murphy-Bunting and Jamel Dean.
96) Kansas City Chiefs
Chamarri Conner, DB, Virginia Tech
97) New Orleans Saints
Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
98) San Francisco 49ers
Sam Williams, EDGE, Ole Miss
99) Baltimore Ravens
Amaré Barno, OLB, Virginia Tech
100) Los Angeles Rams
Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota
Round 4
101) Carolina Panthers
Alec Lindstrom, C, Boston College
102) Detroit Lions
Leon O’Neal Jr., S, Texas A&M
103) Jacksonville Jaguars
Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse
104) Seattle Seahawks
Obinna Eze, OT, TCU
105) Cincinnati Bengals
Emil Ekiyor, G, Alabama
106) New York Jets
Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State
107) Philadelphia Eagles
Quentin Lake, S, UCLA
108) Las Vegas Raiders
Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh
109) Baltimore Ravens
Jermaine Waller, CB, Virginia Tech
110) Atlanta Falcons
Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
111) New York Giants
Ricky Stromberg, C, Arkansas
112) Washington Football Team
Payton Wilson, LB, NC State
113) Arizona Cardinals
Nik Bonitto, OLB, Oklahoma
114) Pittsburgh Steelers
Jamaree Salyer, OL, Georgia
115) Denver Broncos
Deslin Alexandre, DL, Pittsburgh
116) New York Jets
Nehemiah Pritchett, CB, Auburn
117) New England Patriots
CJ Verdell, RB, Oregon
118) Los Angeles Chargers
Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA
119) Miami Dolphins
Ali Gaye, EDGE, LSU
120) Indianapolis Colts
Brenton Cox Jr., EDGE, Florida
121) Dallas Cowboys
Haskell Garrett, DT, Ohio State
122) New Orleans Saints

123) Tennessee Titans
Terrel Bernard, LB, Baylor
124) Seattle Seahawks
Ventrell Miller, LB, Florida
125) Cleveland Browns
Nick Broeker, OL, Ole Miss
126) Houston Texans
Rashad Wisdom, S, UTSA
127) San Francisco 49ers

129) Green Bay Packers
Jeffrey Gunter, EDGE, Coastal Carolina
130) Buffalo Bills
Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M
131) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tyler Allgeier, RB, BYU
132) Kansas City Chiefs
