2.07: Dameon Pierce, Running Back, Florida

Pierce is not someone who saw a ton of work in college, which is one of the biggest knocks you might see on him. In fact, he only had two games with 9 or more carries at Florida, which is definitely a concern. On the flip side, this also means he has fresh legs without a lot of miles on them. In four years, he saw 329 carries and was always splitting work out of the backfield. Pierce is one of those players who runs with zero regard for his own safety. He isn’t afraid to take defenders head-on and just runs hard and fights for yards on every play. He is capable in the passing game but isn’t exactly a natural pass-catcher and the most receptions he had in a season was in 2021 when he caught 19 passes. Pierce is one of those players that I liked what I saw on the film and think he could be useful to an NFL team with his blocking and goal-line ability. He totaled 16 touchdowns in 2021 and is a running back I’m happy to use a second-round pick on.

2.08: James Cook, Running Back, Georgia

A running back who split a backfield with Zamir White who has a lot of tread on the tires and didn’t take a beating like most running backs would. We shouldn’t be surprised as Georgia likes to run split backfields with multiple backs. If you are worried about this, don’t be as there are many successful backs that came from Georgia and are excelling in the NFL today. The younger brother of Dalvin Cook, football is in his DNA. Averaging over six YPC in all four seasons at Georgia will have you all wanting more. Hopefully more we shall get too as Cook was also lined up in the slot at times and turned 27 receptions into 284 yards and 4 touchdowns this season. He may not be a PPR monster, but when he runs with the, he has blazing speed which the majority of us saw in the National Championship game against Alabama.

2.09: Christian Watson, Wide Receiver, North Dakota

A 4.36-speed burner with a 6’4 frame who lines up all over the field. Go ahead and knock him from being from North Dakota State and not having the same competition as a lot of other wide receivers have. Christian Watson was more of an underutilized talent who was in a run-first offense. He has the ability to be a swiss army knife who was lined up in the backfield, in the slot, and also out wide. His 43 receptions, 800 yards, and seven receiving touchdowns may make you think otherwise on him, but it’s the things that don’t show up on the stat sheet for him. He has good run blocking ability and can launch himself deep, fast, and draw the pass interference. He is good on bubble screens, slot routes, post routes, and end arounds. A skill that all teams should love and will be a terror on the field for years to come.

2.10: Trey McBride, Tight End, Colorado State

Not going to lie, but this could be the steal of the draft! McBride is the clear top tight end in this year’s class for a multitude of reasons. For a guy that measures in at 6’4 and 246 pounds, his agility and footwork after the catch are amazing. Watch this man toe the line for extra yards after some of his receptions. With his great hands, he commanded a target share of over 30% in his final two college seasons and gathered 1,121 yards in his senior year. It truly is special to see what this big, talented, young man can do with the football in his hands.

As a tight end, he’ll be asked to block on occasion and that shouldn’t be a problem. I’m not saying he’s going to wow everyone in year one like Kyle Pitts did last year, but there is little doubt in my mind that he is going to have a special career at the next level. There will be a lot of teams vying for him in the early part of round two or even the end of round one. For dynasty, he should’ve been off the board before he got back to me but I will happily roll with him here.

2.11: Jelani Woods, Tight End, Virginia

Not really a household name, but still a top-10 prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft, I am planting my flag and taking Jelani Woods here at the end of the second. Coming in at 6’7 and 253 pounds (Virginia listed him at 275 pounds) Woods just lit up the Combine by running a 4.61 40-yard dash. With that speed and size, we could see Woods going from a late day three pick to a late day two pick/early day three pick with this kind of athleticism. I am not usually one to jump on a tight end like this early in mocks but with someone his size, he could be a red zone threat at the NFL level. His skills and abilities are raw right now, but he’s a potential unicorn that if he gets the right coaching, along with his experience of lining up on the line and out wide in the slot should help him in most offenses. I’m pulling the trigger here on him, knowing that I won’t be able to get him in the third round.

2.12: Matt Corral, Quarterback, Ole Miss

Considered one of the front runners for the QB1 of the class, Matt Corral has fallen all the way down to me at the end of the 2nd round. Drafting him here seems like a no-brainer considering his Top-40 capital. Questions about him in the NFL Combine did include his weight which he addressed by coming in at 212 pounds. His athleticism and compact release will help him while adapting to read defenses at the NFL speed. With NFL Draft destinations that could include Washington, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay, Corral should shoot up these boards immediately based on the supporting cast.
