My three annual man crushes for the 2022 draft, in order, are QB Matt Corral, LB Devin Lloyd and WR Treylon Burks. This article was inspired by the comments on KyleSmithforGM’s recent profile of Lloyd.
I like Lloyd for the Commanders as high as the 11th pick because he would help the team catch up to where the league has been heading for over a decade. Lloyd is experienced in calling defenses, to fulfill a key requirement of the middle linebacker role, which is currently vacant. He also has the sideline-to-sideline speed and the coverage skills to stay on the field and excel on all three downs.
