21st pick – New Orleans Saints: Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
The Saints and wide receiver have certainly been a popular pairing in 2022 NFL mock draft scenarios.
Treylon Burks is a big-bodied receiver with outstanding YAC potential and some really intriguing all-around traits.
He’s sort of the picture-esque wide receiver at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds. What does the future hold for Michael Thomas in New Orleans? If he’s not in their plans beyond this season, a player like Burks in round one would make plenty of sense.
He is reminiscent of a young Demaryius Thomas.
22nd pick – New England Patriots: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
The New England Patriots seem to have hit a home run with Mac Jones as the quarterback of the future.
Now, they must continue to surround him with the best supporting cast possible.
Drafting Chris Olave would certainly help accomplish that.
The Patriots might be a bit gunshy about receivers in round one after the N’Keal Harry pick, but Olave is a special player who has excellent speed, route running ability, and soft hands.
With Mac Jones throwing him passes, he could be a PPR monster in the NFL.
