NFL Draft Prospects: 5 talented players set to have bright future in the league
While there might be many unanswered questions about the 2022 NFL Draft, there is still a pool of great quality players who should undoubtedly be stars. No one really knows where the quarterbacks will end up landing or who will be the first overall pick, although it doesn't seem to be one of the quarterbacks. There will still be plenty of star players found scattered throughout the draft and the right destination should promise some with bright careers in the NFL.
#1 - Evan Neal deserves to be the top pick in NFL Draft and start to establish protection for Trevor Lawrence
Evan Neal did this at 6-7, 350 on top of some good tape. We don’t really need a Combine workout. This guy can run, play with power, is scheme versatile, and has major pass pro tools. Don’t overthink this, Jaguars. https://t.co/elQloUEE0w
Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal is projected to be one of the few players in the running to be the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Based on who is picking early in the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars make the most sense. They spent the #1 pick last year on Trevor Lawrence and now they need to protect their investment. Neal might not make the playoffs anytime soon with the Jaguars, but he should be one of the top left tackles in no time.Neal could be the first of many moves to build the roster up around Lawrence for the future and Neal has potential to be an All-Pro.
#2 - Drake London might not be OBJ but he will be a star for the Browns
With Jarvis Landry potentially on the move, the Cleveland Browns could be severely lacking talented receivers for 2022. Without Landry, their group rivals the Detroit Lions as one of the worst in the NFL. USC's Drake London is worthy of being a first-round selection in the NFL Draft and it's not bizarre to see him go into the top-15. None of the Browns' current receivers can fill the role of a true No.1 and London can enter with a six-foot-five frame and physicality for the ball. Baker Mayfield is the quarterback for now, but if Cleveland decides to make a quarterback change in the near future, the new guy will at least have a solid receiver to rely on.
