2022 NFL Mock Draft: Predictions for Nation's Elite Prospects

The top of the 2022 NFL draft is expected to be dominated by defensive players.

Oregon Ducks edge-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and Michigan Wolverines defensive end Aidan Hutchinson are the current favorites to land in the top two picks in April.

Thibodeaux has been a known quantity in draft circles for some time. He entered Oregon as a highly touted recruit and thrived during his time in the Pac-12.

Hutchinson broke onto the scene this season with his tremendous year on the interior that helped Michigan qualify for the College Football Playoff.
