With The 59th Pick​

In The Second Round​

Of The 2022​

ROD NFL Mock Draft​

The Green Bay Packers Select:​

Christian Watson​

WR​

North Dakota State​

Overview​

Height: 6'4"​

Weight: 208 lbs​

40 Yard Dash: 4.36​

Among all the wide receiver prospects in the 2022 NFL draft, there may not be a better fit for the Green Bay Packers than Christian Watson. The North Dakota State star caught everyone’s attention at the combine when he measured in at 6-4 and ran the 40-yard dash in under 4.4 seconds. The Packers have a glaring hole at wide receiver and are also the owners of a pair of first-round picks. Watson’s blend of size and speed has him on Green Bay’s radar, with the draft set to begin at the end of the month.

Matt LaFleur recently acknowledged that they need to add speed to their wide receiver room following the loss of Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

“We need a legit guy that can take the top off the coverage,” LaFleur said, via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

That certainly would describe Watson. North Dakota State credits him with 57 plays that went for 20-plus yards, which accounts for 32 percent of his career touches. Green Bay certainly needs help in their explosiveness on offense after losing Valdes-Scantling and their All-Pro in Davante Adams.

Watson would be able to help in this regard as a receiver, runner, and return man. He’s nowhere near a finished product, and the Packers would need to surround him with more pieces if they were to select him. However, Watson is a guy with a high ceiling who could be a focal point in LaFleur’s offense for seasons to come.

On behalf of @Ramrocket ...

With the 60th pick the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select

Cade Otten TE, Washington

Overview
Four-year starter who will be next up from a program with a history of turning out NFL talent at tight end. Otton is an instinctive route-runner with agile feet in tight quarters and a great feel for changing speeds inside the route. He has sudden, reliable hands, and is skilled and athletic enough to shine against man or zone coverages. As with all UW tight ends, Otton was expected to block for the run game and did so with adequate technique. He will need to bolster his play strength and aggression levels to better execute his blocking itinerary at the next level. He's an ascending combination tight end with starting talent. He should become a more productive pro than college player as a likely Day 2 selection.
Strengths

• Bends and turns to avoid redirections from defense.
• Zips into patterns and is a threat underneath.
• Smart route-runner with basketball athleticism for uncovering.
• Changes speeds to keep coverage in defensive posture.
• Sinks, stems and separates from coverage at the break point.
• Can adjust and catch without breaking stride.
• Quick to anchor, open and secure the catch window versus zone.
• Enough talent to put coverage on notice on all three levels.
• Twitchy hands to pluck, tuck and go.
• Aggressive hand strikes into the point of attack while blocking.
• Technique and background to become adequate NFL blocker.

Weaknesses

• Seems bothered by contact inside the route.
• Could use additional play strength.
• Urgent after the catch, but average yards-after-catch talent.
• More willing than aggressive in taking on blocking duties.
• Frequently out-muscled and loses his stalemate block.
• Not enough core strength to sustain and seal defensive ends.
• Average reliability when asked to make backside cut-offs on outside zone runs.

Round 1 of draft found on Page 10 , post #185 .

 

[SanAnRam]

I thought about a punter, but I'll be an adult about this:
With the 61st pick (San Frans first), let's give the young qb some more outlets:

Trey McBride, Colorado State TE

"McBride is the favorite to be the first tight end selected, even though, as noted above, that’s likely to happen on the draft’s second day. Whether lining up in-line or detached, the former Ram has the best all-around skill set among tight end prospects in this year’s draft class. McBride may not have any elite traits, but he’s above average across the board. The focal point of Colorado State’s offense, McBride has strong, reliable hands and finished 2021 with 90 catches for 1,121 yards and a touchdown. The lack of touchdowns last year isn’t much of a concern as he had nine touchdowns on 74 receptions from ’18 to ’20."

I see what you're doing there ... disrupting the whiner offense by getting Kittle to look over his shoulder ! Very clever.

 

[SanAnRam]

With the 62nd pick in the ROD 2nd Round, the Kansas City Chiefs select:

DeMarvin Leal*, DT, Texas A&M

Good value at the end of the 2nd:

"
3/26/22: In 2021, Leal had 58 tackles, 8.5 sacks, one forced fumble and two passes defended. He decided to skip the Gator Bowl to prepare for the pre-draft workouts. The Aggies played him at end and tackle, but his pass-rushing talents are most dangerous on the inside. Some in the media have even projected Leal as a high first-round pick, but in speaking to multiple team sources, they have a second-round grade on Leal.

"He'll probably go in the second," said a director of player personnel. "I love his ability to rush the passer, and he's instinctive versus the run. But I have my struggles with him. I think he's going to have issues early on playing the run inside. And he has sort of a bad body. Feels like more of a package guy early on.""

I'm setting my warning alarm for a week from tomorrow to be ready for my next pick due at No. 86.

 

[Ramrocket]

With the 63rd pick of the draft, the Bengals select

Joshua Paschal DE Kentucky

Overview
Fully grown defender with the play strength and versatility to contribute in odd or even fronts. Paschal's urgent, full-tilt demeanor helps him control his fair share of engagements, but it also leads to occasional lapses in footwork and balance. He's like a block of granite at the point of attack with low pads and a heavy anchor. He has the twitch to see-and-shed against single blocks and the range to make a tackle a gap away. His face-up rush style lacks elusiveness and will see limited success off the edge, but his snap quickness fits perfectly as an interior rusher in sub-packages. Paschal might never be a star, but he's a good future starter with winning character that coaches and fans will grow to love.
Strengths

• Only three-time full-season captain in school history.
• Big personality who loves the game.
• Stocky lower half from his hips to his ankles.
• Comes off the ball low, square and with a compact punch.
• Bends and grows roots to leverage and counter drive blockers.
• Full recognition and response for contain duties.
• Forceful tackler with excellent shed power and timing.
• Initial quickness offers quick-win potential as interior rusher.
• Wide lateral steps take him quickly to the edge.
• Attacks with heavy but sudden hands.
• Highly determined once he finds the backfield.

Weaknesses

• * Size and length fall below NFL standards
• * Needs better feel for edge pressure. * Occasional imbalance due to inconsistent footwork. * Frenzied play lands him on the ground at times. * Limited success as face-up edge rusher. * Lacks upper-body flexion to turn and flatten at the top of the arc. * Uses predictable jump-and-swim rush move inside. * Rush gasses out if he doesn't win early in the rep
