My 2022 NFL Draft Big Board isn’t where I see players getting drafted, but more how I view them talent wise. I did take into account positional value and testing numbers, but each player’s success will ultimately depend on where they are drafted and their fit on their new team. The talent at the top is lacking, but the depth is solid in the middle rounds. Quality starting caliber players can be had later than in most years at high value positions like cornerback, wide receiver, and along the offensive line.
