21. Tennessee Titans: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
The second Ohio State wide receiver off the board in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft, Chris Olave finds a home with the 21st overall pick in the draft. This could obviously change if the Tennessee Titans land Julio Jones in a trade as they were predicted to. However, after letting Corey Davis walk in free agency, the Titans are now in need of another running mate for A.J. Brown.
Olave has been ever-so-dependent during his time in Columbus, Ohio. A year ago, he racked up 729 yards and seven touchdowns on 50 catches for the Buckeyes. Ultimately, he opted to turn down the possibility of being a first round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to come back to school. It does not harm him here as he lands with the Titans to open the top-20.
22. Indianapolis Colts: Zion Nelson, OT, Miami
The Indianapolis Colts come on the clock, and yes, they take an offensive tackle despite signing Eric Fisher to a one-year deal this season. An odd signing considering the levity of the injury Fisher suffered late in the season for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020. Here, they look beyond the 2021 season, however, and land Miami offensive tackle Zion Nelson with the 22nd overall pick.
The 6-foot-5 and 316 pound offensive tackle has started 20 games in his career with the Hurricanes, and is coming off of a sophomore season where he landed as a third-team All-ACC player behind the likes of Christian Darrisaw, Liam Eichenberg, Jackson Carman, and Robert Hainsey. Now entering his junior year, look for Nelson to make some noise for the Hurricanes.
