One of my favorite things to do in the NFL off-season is to rank the draft picks by position.
So, I am going to begin the positions by starting with the quarterbacks. There is no front runner this year. I would think that Kenny Pickett is the most polished of all the quarterbacks. Malik Willis might be the one with the most upside. Let’s see how I rank them.
Now that the Super Bowl is in the books for another year, I turn my attention to the off season. This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love free agency, the combine and especially the draft.
I like to be able to see how teams might try to fill their needs either through free agency or the draft.
Let’s get started with my first mock draft of the season.
The Dolphins have announced their 2022 coaching staff. Head Coach Mike McDaniel is looking to turn this team in to more competition for the Bills and Patriots then in years past.
Mike McDaniel has brought in some of the more experienced coaches like Frank Smith and Darrell Bevell.
Here are the Assistant Coaches.
Frank Smith, Offensive Coordinator
Matt Applebaum, Offensive Line Coach
Darrell Bevell, Quarterback Coach/Passing Game Coordinator
Jon Embree, Assistant Head Coach/Tight Ends Coach
Josh Grizzard, Quality Control Coach
Chandler Henley, Assistant Quarterbacks Coach
Lemuel Jeanpierre, Assistant Offensive Line Coach
Mike Person, Offensive Assistant
Aldrick Robinson, Offensive Assistant
Kolby Smith, Offensive Assistant
Wes Welker, Wide Receivers Coach
Josh Boyer, Defensive Coordinator
Mathieu Araujo, Assistant Defensive Backs Coach
Austin Clark, Defensive Line Coach
Steve Ferentz, Assistant Linebackers Coach
Steve Gregory, Safeties Coach
Derrick LeBlanc, Assistant Defensive Line Coach
Sam Maddison, Cornerbacks Coach/Pass Game Specialist
The NFL Draft is the highlight of my year. I enjoy looking for the diamonds in the rough and turning them into stars.
Many today are in the win it now mode. This way of thinking can come back to bite them. I still like building a team from the ground up. Draft picks are the way for most teams to be a champion.
So, let’s get started on my first round 1 draft. See how I feel the first round could fall.
