NCAAF 2022 NFL draft rankings: The Draft Wire 300
Welcome to draft week, NFL fans.
After months of breaking down game film, cataloging workout times, and trying to sift through the smokescreens, the 2022 NFL draft is just days away.
While this year’s class may lack a clear-cut top prospect, or a stacked quarterback group, it’s a crop of prospects loaded with quality depth at just about every position. It’s a great year to need pass rushers and pass catchers, as well as pass protectors and pass interceptors.
It’s time to reveal our final overall rankings for the top prospects in this year’s draft, graded across all seven rounds.
Here it is, the Draft Wire 300:
