The opinions of these Steelers Radio Network personalities do not reflect the views of the Steelers organization.

2022_Mockdraft_01_Jaguars

Williamson's Pick: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Making life as easy as possible for Trevor Lawrence absolutely must be Jacksonville's top priority this offseason. A mammoth with rare movement skills like what Neal possesses is a great start.

Lolley's Pick: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: No real reason to move off of this pick at this point. Neal is about the safest pick in the draft.

Prisuta's Pick: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: There are a number of problems to tackle in Jacksonville.

2022_Mockdraft_02_Lions

Williamson's Pick: Aiden Hutchinson, Edge, Michigan (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Hutchinson fits in with the Lions extremely well. While he might not be at the Chase Young/Myles Garrett level of prospect, but Detroit coaching staff and fanbase will adore Hutchinson.

Lolley's Pick: Aiden Hutchinson, Edge, Michigan (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Like Neal, this pick stays the same. Hutchinson to the Lions seems to make too much sense.

Prisuta's Pick: Aidan Hutchinson, Edge, Michigan (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Lions won't have to look far in their effort to ramp up the pass rush. Go Honolulu Blue.

2022_Mockdraft_03_Texans

Williamson's Pick: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame
Analysis: The Texans have plenty of needs and decide to just take the best player in this draft in Hamilton. There have been few safety prospects in history like this guy.

Lolley's Pick: Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, Oregon
Analysis: Thibodeaux is a game-changing talent who might be too good to pass up for a team that needs everything.

Prisuta's Pick: Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, Oregon (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Lovie Smith gets a building block for the No. 31 defense he's inherited. Help for the No. 32 offense can wait.

2022_Mockdraft_04_Jets

Williamson's Pick: Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE, Oregon
Analysis: The Jets secondary needs more work than their defensive front, but Robert Saleh puts much more emphasis on pass-rushers than coverage players in his defense.

Lolley's Pick: Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State
Analysis: Ekwonu could step right in at right tackle and give the Jets an imposing offensive line.

Prisuta's Pick: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: In the words of the immortal Jeff Spicoli, "Alright, Hamilton!"

2022_Mockdraft_05_Giants

Williamson's Pick: Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: It looks like New York is going to stick with Daniel Jones. Now they must protect him. Ekwonu is a great addition that should also really help pave the way for Saquon Barkley.

Lolley's Pick: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame
Analysis: The Giants have another pick coming up, so it might be tough to pass on a potential superstar defender.

Prisuta's Pick: Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Giants get their pick of the offensive tackles, minus the one Jacksonville selects.

Triple_Take_UPMC_2022_OL_Ekwonu_Ikem_001
2022_Mockdraft_06_Panthers

Williamson's Pick: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Could the Panthers grab the first quarterback off the board here at six? It is possible, but their offensive line also needs a ton of work and Cross would slide right in at left tackle for Carolina.

Lolley's Pick: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
Analysis: The Panthers were holding their collective breath as Cross makes it past the Giants to bolster their offensive line.

Prisuta's Pick: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
Analysis: QB or not QB? Not as long as Sam Darnold is under contract and under center.

2022_Mockdraft_07_Giants

Williamson's Pick: Travon Walker, DE, Georgia
Analysis: This might seem early for Walker, but after the Combine, no one will be shocked that Walker could be going in the Top 10.

Lolley's Pick: George Karalaftis, Edge, Purdue
Analysis: Foiled in their attempt to get Cross here, the Giants could trade out of this spot – or just stay here and take an explosive edge rusher.

Prisuta's Pick: George Karlaftis, Edge, Purdue (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Giants could go the other way at No. 5 overall and No. 7, but in either order offensive tackle and edge rusher makes sense.

2022_Mockdraft_08_Falcons

Williamson's Pick: Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: This is a team that really needs just about everything. Getting a premium prospect at a premium position is about as good of a building block as you can ask for with the eighth overall selection.

Lolley's Pick: Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati
Analysis: The Falcons could go a number of ways, but Gardner would make a lot of sense.

Prisuta's Pick: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Falcons get their pick of the cornerback crop.

2022_Mockdraft_09_Broncos

Williamson's Pick: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
Analysis: Denver has two off the ball linebackers hitting free agency. Replacing them with Lloyd, and his many talents, could go a long way to keeping Denver's defense great.

Lolley's Pick: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh
Analysis: If the Packers get shut out in their efforts to acquire a veteran, Pickett would be the most game-ready quarterback.

Prisuta's Pick: Matt Corral, QB, Mississippi (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Broncos haven't been shy about looking for their next great QB. The search continues with Corral.

Triple_Take_UPMC_2022_S_Hamilton_Kyle_001
2022_Mockdraft_10_Jets

Williamson's Pick: Derek Stingley, CB, LSU (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: As mentioned, the Jets secondary needs a lot of work. A potentially shut down corner like Stingley is exactly what the doctor ordered to complement New York's pass-rush.

Lolley's Pick: Derek Stingley, CB, LSU (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Stingley gives the Jets a high-level corner to help the pass defense.

Prisuta's Pick: Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Another step toward making the airspace above MetLife Stadium a no-fly zone.

2022_Mockdraft_11_Washington

Williamson's Pick: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pitt
Analysis: Here is where the first quarterback falls. This is a nice landing spot for Pickett and could give the Commanders a long-term solution at the sport's most important position.

Lolley's Pick: Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
Analysis: Linderbaum could be a generational-type center.

Prisuta's Pick: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pitt (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Who says there isn't a great QB in thus year's class? Not the teams drafting one in the first round.

2022_Mockdraft_12_Vikings

Williamson's Pick: David Ojabo, DE, Michigan
Analysis: The Vikings could go in several different directions, but upgrading their pass defense, whether at cornerback or with the pass-rush, should be one of Minnesota's top offseason priorities.

Lolley's Pick: David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan
Analysis: The Vikings would have liked one of the top corners here, but pump up their pass rush instead.

Prisuta's Pick: Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Vikings have weapons, so they address their secondary.

2022_Mockdraft_13_Browns

Williamson's Pick: Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State
Analysis: The Browns keep Wilson in state. His dynamic abilities could really go a long way in this offense that is predicated on a great running game. Baker Mayfield would love this selection.

Lolley's Pick: Drake London, WR, USC (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Browns need help at wide receiver, and London will add a big target to their offense.

Prisuta's Pick: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Tough to go wrong with one of the Buckeyes' receivers available. The Browns get their pick of the pair.

2022_Mockdraft_14_Ravens

Williamson's Pick: Tyler Linderbaum, OC, Iowa
Analysis: Linderbaum is a rare center prospect and Baltimore isn't the type of organization to allow elite prospects to slip through their fingers. Plus, Bradley Bozeman is set to hit free agency.

Lolley's Pick: Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia
Analysis: The Ravens are likely going to part ways with some of their aging defensive line. Davis would add a big run stuffer to the equation.

Prisuta's Pick: Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M
Analysis: A versatile answer for an offensive line that has a number of questions.

2022_Mockdraft_15_Eagles

Williamson's Pick: Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
Analysis: With their first of three first round picks, Philadelphia gets a weapon that is much different than last year's first round pick, DeVonta Smith. Burks would also help the Eagles already impressive running game.

Lolley's Pick: Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
Analysis: The big and speedy Burks would be the perfect fit for the Eagles' run-heavy offense.

Prisuta's Pick: Jermaine Johnson II, Edge, Florida State (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Eagles have landed a pass rusher. Other needs can wait, but they won't have to for long.

2022_Mockdraft_16_Eagles

Williamson's Pick: Jermaine Johnson, DE, Florida State
Analysis: The Eagles always put a premium on linemen and could use a youth infusion at defensive end. This draft class is loaded at this position and Johnson is a perfect fit in Philadelphia's defense.

Lolley's Pick: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
Analysis: A sideline-to-sideline player, Lloyd would give the Eagles a boost of youth at the second level.

Prisuta's Pick: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: DeVonta Smith worked out nicely last season transitioning from 'Bama to Broad Street.

2022_Mockdraft_17_Chargers

Williamson's Pick: Trevor Penning, OT, Norther Iowa
Analysis: Bryan Bulaga is a potential cap casualty and as they showed last offseason, Los Angeles isn't bashful about using their draft and free agency resources to protect Justin Herbert.

Lolley's Pick: Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State
Analysis: With Mike Williams likely pricing himself out of Los Angeles, the Chargers need to keep a strength a strength.

Prisuta's Pick: Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Chargers go a long way toward fixing their No. 30 run defense with one selection.

2022_Mockdraft_18_Saints

Williamson's Pick: Drake London, WR, USC
Analysis: Quarterback could certainly be in play here, but New Orleans also might address their signal caller before the draft even comes around. Wide receiver is another massive need even if Michael Thomas is back in the mix.

Lolley's Pick: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty
Analysis: The Saints could start Taysom Hill at quarterback and ease Willis into the equation without changing the offense dramatically.

Prisuta's Pick: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: QBs capable of making plays with their legs are quite popular in New Orleans all of a sudden.

2022_Mockdraft_19_Eagles

Williamson's Pick: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington
Analysis: The Eagles already have two first round picks in the books and decide to grab a position that is tough to find and pair McDuffie with Darius Slay.

Lolley's Pick: Andrew Booth, CB, Clemson
Analysis: The Eagles get quite the haul here with Burks, Lloyd and Booth.

Prisuta's Pick: Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn
Analysis: A trade for Philly at No. 15, 16 or 19 seems like a viable option. If not, address the secondary eventually.

2022_Mockdraft_20_Steelers

Williamson's Pick: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty
Analysis: The Steelers get their quarterback of the future in Willis. As it stands right now, it is tough to speculate just how high this year's quarterbacks will go, but Pittsburgh jumps on Willis in this scenario without hesitation.

Lolley's Pick: Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa
Analysis: It's tough to pass on Nakobe Dean, but Penning has all kinds of upside and plenty of nasty. He also could play guard.

Prisuta's Pick: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The third quarterback selected is the one with the most potential upside.

2022_Mockdraft_21_Patriots

Williamson's Pick: Andrew Booth, CB, Clemson
Analysis: JC Jackson is set to hit the open market and the Patriots defense is predicated on excellent cornerback plays. Booth would fit in nicely.

Lolley's Pick: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
Analysis: The Patriots need an infusion of speed in their front seven. Dean adds that.

Prisuta's Pick: Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
Analysis: Mac Jones gets some weaponry to help him grow after a solid rookie campaign.

2022_Mockdraft_22_Raiders

Williamson's Pick: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama
Analysis: It might take a little time before Williams hits the field for the Raiders because of his injury, but this offense really needs a deep threat like this speedster from Alabama. Al Davis would be proud.

Lolley's Pick: Kenyon Green, G, Texas A&M
Analysis: A solid addition to the Raiders' rebuilding offensive line.

Prisuta's Pick: Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: He has the nasty disposition and demeanor of a Raider already.

2022_Mockdraft_23_Cardinals

Williamson's Pick: George Karlaftis, DE, Purdue
Analysis: With Chandler Jones hitting free agency, Arizona could be in the market for another power edge rusher like Karlaftis, who can also bump inside.

Lolley's Pick: Jermaine Johnson, Edge, Florida State
Analysis: Johnson tore up the Senior Bowl and is an exciting young pass rusher.

Prisuta's Pick: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Cardinals add some size and physicality to the secondary

2022_Mockdraft_24_Cowboys

Williamson's Pick: Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia
Analysis: Wyatt would fit the Cowboys penetrating scheme perfectly. Expect him to test off the charts in Indianapolis.

Lolley's Pick: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington
Analysis: The Cowboys need to continue to build their defense, and the second cornerback spot was an issue in 2021.

Prisuta's Pick: DeMarvin Leal, DT, Texas A&M (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The eyes of Texas will be on a player capable of making plays inside or outside along the defensive front.

2022_Mockdraft_25_Bills

Williamson's Pick: Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M
Analysis: A true guard like Green could really solidify Buffalo's offensive line. In fact, is could be the one last component to really completing their exceptional offense as a whole.

Lolley's Pick: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
Analysis: Another cornerback? Yep. The Bills are building a nasty defense.

Prisuta's Pick: Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Bills' middle-of-the-pack run defense adds a Bulldog.

2022_Mockdraft_26_Titans

Williamson's Pick: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
Analysis: Outside of AJ Brown, Tennessee is very light on receiving options. Olave looks like a plug and play complement to Brown.

Lolley's Pick: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama
Analysis: The Titans can keep running Derrick Henry and leaning on A.J. Brown until Williams returns from his torn ACL.

Prisuta's Pick: Travon Walker, Edge, Georgia (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Mike Vrabel will appreciate the versatility and tenacity as much as anyone

Triple_Take_UPMC_2022_OT_Raimann_Bernhard_001
2022_Mockdraft_27_Buccaneers

Williamson's Pick: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
Analysis: Suddenly with guys like Chris Godwin hitting free agency, the Bucs are short on receiving options. Dotson would bring a lot of juice to Tampa Bay's passing game and is much different than Mike Evans.

Lolley's Pick: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
Analysis: After releasing Antonio Brown and with Chris Godwin also likely leaving, the Bucs need to add a pass catcher.

Prisuta's Pick: Zion Johnson OG, Boston College (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: An offensive line upgrade for whoever ends up at quarterback.

2022_Mockdraft_28_Packers

Williamson's Pick: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
Analysis: If the Packers are going to keep Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, they are going to have a very difficult time retaining their free agents, most notably De'Vondre Campbell, who was excellent on the second level for Green Bay last year. Dean fills his shoes.

Lolley's Pick: Travon Walker, Edge, Georgia
Analysis: The Packers might have to part with some key defenders this offseason. Walker could certainly help.

Prisuta's Pick: Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Rodgers Rate on wide receivers is you can't have enough of them.

2022_Mockdraft_29_Dolphins

Williamson's Pick: Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Dolphins new offensive scheme will put a major emphasis on athletic linemen. Raimann fits that perfectly and Miami's front five was a big problem last year.

Lolley's Pick: Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: The Dolphins will love Raimann's ability to move and get out to the edge.

Prisuta's Pick: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: A defense with some teeth gets tougher.

2022_Mockdraft_30_Chiefs

Williamson's Pick: Logan Hall, DE, Houston
Analysis: Pass-rush was a problem last year for Kansas City and they could be moving on from Frank Clark to free up cap space. Hall would take Clark's spot and then bump inside on passing downs to line up next to Chris Jones.

Lolley's Pick: Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn
Analysis: The Chiefs can't continue to ignore their secondary.

Prisuta's Pick: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Sometimes, certain players just look and feel like a perfect fit for certain teams. This is one of those times.

2022_Mockdraft_31_Bengals

Williamson's Pick: Zion Johnson, OG, Boston College (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: This couldn't have worked out better for Cincinnati, as need and value met perfectly at the end of the first round for the Bengals as they improve their offensive line.

Lolley's Pick: DeMarvin Leal, DT, Texas A&M
Analysis: The Bengals will likely address their offensive line issues in free agency, so they can afford to add to the defensive front.

Prisuta's Pick: Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: Best offensive lineman available seems like a pretty safe bet here.

2022_Mockdraft_32_Lions

Williamson's Pick: Matt Corral, QB, Mississippi
Analysis: Detroit got this pick from the Super Bowl Champion Rams in the Matthew Stafford trade and grab their potential quarterback of the future in Corral with the ability to exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract.

Lolley's Pick: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: After getting to work with Howell at the Senior Bowl, the Lions coaching staff knows all about his toughness.

Prisuta's Pick: David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan (No change from previous Mock Draft)
Analysis: He's worked well with fellow edge Aidan Hutchinson previously, as the Lions should be well aware.
