Expert analysis

Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE, Oregon — 1st round, No. 5 overall by the New York Giants

  • 2021 stats: 10 games, 49 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, seven sacks.
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Thibodeaux is a boom-or-bust blue-chip player with impressive physical tools and an unstoppable speed-rush maneuver. The Oregon product displays exceptional balance and body control turning the corner. With outstanding instincts and snap-count anticipation enhancing his speed rush attempts, the electric pass rusher could blossom into a destructive force as a pro." — Bucky Brooks, NFL.com

Drake London, WR, USC — 1st round, No. 8 overall by the Atlanta Falcons

  • 2021 stats: 8 games, 88 catches, 1,084 receiving yards, 5 TD
  • What they're saying about the pick: "London was my WR1 in this class. And the Falcons WR room was barren before this selection. London + Kyle Pitts. Matchup nightmares for the Falcons. Who do you cover them with on your defense?” — Chris Trapasso, CBS Sports

Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington — 1st round, No. 21 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs

  • 2021 stats: 11 games, 35 tackles, 6 pass breakups, 4 tackles for loss
  • What they're saying about the pick: "A polished cover corner, McDuffie has a toolbox that enables him to utilize a variety of techniques as a scheme-friendly playmaker. Whether playing man or zone or utilizing bump, bail or shadow techniques, the Washington standout can do it all -- defensive coaches covet players with his IQ and skills." — Bucky Brooks, NFL.com

Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah — 1st round, No. 27 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars

  • 2021 stats: 14 games, 111 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 4 interceptions (2 for TD)
  • What they're saying about the pick: "They made a bold move to go get him. I love this. He's a playmaking linebacker who can do a lot of things. Think Devin White in the Tampa Bay scheme. It works. Mike Caldwell will use him a lot of different ways.” — Pete Prisco, CBS Sports

Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington — 2nd round, No. 39 overall by the Chicago Bears

  • 2021 stats: 12 games, 45 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 7 pass deflections, 2 interceptions
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Feels right for him. Bendy, unique athlete with explosive flashes. Not crazy speed or ball skills. Awesome, hard-nosed run defender. Chicago simply needs to add talent all across its roster. They get that at a premium position with Gordon.” — Chris Trapasso, CBS Sports

Drake Jackson, LB, USC — 2nd round, No. 61 overall by the San Francisco 49ers

  • 2021 stats: 10 games, 37 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 1 interception
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Dark horse to be a stud EDGE down the road. Big recruit. Weight was up and down in college. Immense burst/bend combo around the corner. Not much else to his game yet, and now he can learn pass-rush moves from Nick Bosa. Has to get stronger too. Quality pick to open San Fran's draft." — Chris Trapasso, CBS Sports

Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State — 3rd round, No. 72 overall by the Seattle Seahawks

  • What they're saying about the pick: "Abraham Lucas is another tackle coming from a pass-happy offense that plays with a mean streak in run game. Seattle not shying away from players coming from non-pro style systems." — Corbin Smith, Sports Illustrated

Greg Dulcich, TE, UCLA — 3rd round, No. 80 overall by the Denver Broncos

  • 2021 stats: 12 games, 42 catches, 725 yards, 5 touchdowns
  • What they're saying about the pick: "LOVE the Greg Dulcich selection for the Broncos. Second best TE in the class. Outstanding instincts and catch radius as a receiver and can develop as a blocker." — Ryan Edwards, KOA 850 AM & 94.1 FM

Rachaad White, RB, Arizona State — 3rd round, No. 91 overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • What they're saying about the pick: "Got to see ASU’s Rachaad White at the Senior Bowl this year and he was one of my standouts. Has the potential to be a three-down back — especially behind a fortified OL in Tampa Bay." — Carmen Vitali, The Draft Network

Sean Rhyan, OL, UCLA — 3rd round, No. 92 overall by the Green Bay Packers

  • What they're saying about the pick: "Sean Rhyan was my GUY in this OL class. I thought he was a top-50 player. He can compete to start at guard right away. I love this." — Peter Bukowski, Locked On Packers

  • 2021 stats: 8 games, 28 catches, 250 yards, 1 TD
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Cade Otton would have been a much earlier draft pick had he had a healthy pre-draft process. Buccaneers get a potential steal at tight end. He has an opportunity to break into the two-deep early on." — Matt Miller, ESPN

Jack Jones, CB, Arizona State — 4th round, No. 121 overall by the New England Patriots

  • 2021 stats: 11 games, 42 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 3 interceptions (1 for TD), 9 pass deflections, 3 forced fumbles
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Patriots fans, you’ve got a steal of a player in Jack Jones. One of best pure man cover CB in the '22 draft, and can be a high-end nickel right away." — Eric Galko, Shrine Bowl

D.J. Davidson, DT, Arizona State — 5th round, No. 147 overall by the New York Giants

  • 2021 stats: 12 games, 57 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, 3 pass deflections

Thomas Booker, DT, Stanford — 5th round, No. 150 overall by the Houston Texans

  • 2021 stats: 12 games, 59 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 6 QB hurries, 1 pass breakup
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Thomas Booker is one of the most impressive players I came across while covering recruiting. Him and (former Arizona Wildcat) Roy Lopez Jr. on the same defensive line is going to be fun." — Jordan Hamm, Sports360AZ

Otito Ogbonnia, DT, UCLA — 5th round, No. 160 overall by the Los Angeles Chargers

  • 2021 stats: 12 games, 30 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 2 pass breakups
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Chargers continue to build up that D-line depth in the 5th round. UCLA’s Otito Ogbonnia has the long arms and overall frame (6-3, 324) you look for in a nose tackle. He’s comfortable taking on double teams, but still raw as a pass rusher." — Eddie C. Brown III, San Diego Union-Tribune

Kyle Philips, WR, UCLA — 5th round, No. 163 overall by the Tennessee Titans

  • 2021 stats: 11 games, 59 catches, 739 receiving yards, 10 TD
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Titans got a stud in Kyle Philips. Plug and play slot WR with real shades of Cooper Kupp and Hunter Renfrow. Philips DOMINATED at the Shrine Bowl and is a twitchy route runner in the short and intermediate area." — Eric Galko, Shrine Bowl 

Teagan Quitoriano, TE, Oregon State — 5th round, No. 170 overall by the Houston Texans

  • 2021 stats: 13 games, 19 catches, 214 yards, 3 TD

Luke Wattenberg, OL, Washington — 5th round, No. 171 overall by the Denver Broncos

  • What they're saying about the pick: "New Broncos OL Luke Wattenberg has some positional versatility. At Washington, he started 27 games at left guard, 16 at center and five at left tackle." — Aric DiLalla, DenverBroncos.com.

  • What they're saying about the pick: "Really enjoyed covering Keaontay Ingram in his lone year at #USC. Good to see him going No. 201 overall to the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round. Can catch out of the backfield so should be a good fit for Kliff Kingsbury in Arizona." — Antonio Morales, The Athletic

  • 2021 stats: 10 games, 34 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 6 pass breakups
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Chase Lucas is cut from the same cloth that Campbell loves, a hard worker with football intelligence and good ball skills. A solid corner prospect, who gets knocked for his lack of speed on deep plays." — Jennifer Hammond, FOX 2

Jaylen Watson, DB, Washington State Cougars — 7th round, No. 243 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs

  • 2021 stats: 12 games, 31 tackles, 3 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries
  • What they're saying about the pick: "Measuring at 6-foot-2 with a 4.48-second 40- yard dash and 11-foot broad jump, Watson has the athletic profile to develop into an outstanding press man corner but needs time and coaching to reach his full potential." — Pro Football Focus

Brittain Brown, RB, UCLA — 7th round, No. 250 overall by the Las Vegas Raiders

  • 2021 stats: 102 carries, 616 rushing yards, 7 touchdowns, 18 catches, 129 receiving yards
