2022 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterbacks go No. 2 and 3 in Week 10 mock
By Randy Gurzi
13. Miami Dolphins (via San Francisco 49ers): Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
There’s still a good chance the Miami Dolphins could trade this pick — and many more — in the offseason for Deshaun Watson. Sure, they can say all they want that they’re committed to Tua Tagovailoa but the fact that he seems to always be hurt could help change their minds.
As of now, this is still all speculation and that means we use this pick for Miami and bring in Tyler Linderbaum from Iowa. Some might say this is too high for a center but he’s by far the most NFL ready at the position and the Dolphins know how important such a player is.
14. Atlanta Falcons: Carson Strong, QB, Nevada
Matt Ryan is coming off one of his best games of the season and overall, has been very good in 2021 especially when considering he’s lost Julio Jones and even Calvin Ridley more recently. While his play is commendable, he’s still going to be 37-years-old next season.
That makes it likely that Atlanta will look for a new signal-caller and Carson Strong becomes that player. Strong has a big arm which is always welcome and like Ryan, he’s a pure pocket passer who excels at standing tall and picking apart the secondary.
