2022 NFL mock draft: Panthers and Saints take risks on QBs early
31. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. C. Iowa. Tyler Linderbaum. 7. player
After taking the best tackle prospect in this draft with the previous pick, the New York Giants turn right around and get the best interior offensive line prospect in the class as well.
Tyler Linderbaum has looked like an NFL player for the last three years at Iowa, and this is an area the Giants need to address.
They made a trade for Billy Price before the season but Linderbaum is the type of guy that’s going to solve this issue for the long haul.
Pick Analysis. EDGE. Georgia. 8. Scouting Report. Travon Walker. player. 44
Just like the Detroit Lions did earlier in this mock draft, the Atlanta Falcons don’t have to look far from a potential game-changer off the edge for their defense.
Travon Walker has the size to play a versatile role on the defensive front and even if the stats don’t reflect it, he’s been a consistently disruptive player against both the run and pass this season for the Bulldogs.
Guys who are 275 pounds aren’t usually able to move around like Walker, who gets asked to play coverage at times for Georgia as well.
He’s an outstanding athlete and projects well to the next level.
