2022 NFL Mock Draft Wild Card weekend: Broncos try again at quarterback

Lions add another weapon to pair with Amon-Ra St. Brown in 2022 NFL Mock Draft
27. Detroit Lions (via Los Angeles Rams): Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
They went with Aidan Hutchinson with their first pick, giving them a blue-collar defensive end to build the defense around. Now, the Detroit Lions go in a different direction with the selection they got from the Los Angeles Rams as they take Penn State wide receiver Jahan Dotson.
He might not have the size a prototypical No. 1 receiver possesses but he’s a big play waiting to happen — and Detroit’s offense cab use all the big plays they can get.
28. Dallas Cowboys: Daxton Hill, S, Michigan
This year, the Dallas Cowboys have gotten a huge boost from Damontae Kazee and Jayron Kearse at safety. They also have Malik Hooker — as for the first time in years, they boast actual talent at the position. The problem is, all three of those players are on a one-year deal.
Should any leave, Dallas is going to need a younger option — and since all played well and could get a pay raise, chances are high that Dallas will pass on them and go with a rookie. That’s where Daxton Hill from Michigan comes in.
Solid in both coverage and in run support, Hill would fit as a deep safety for the Cowboys but he also has enough coverage ability to help in the slot as well. His versatility would be a huge plus for Dan Quinn’s defense, assuming Quinn decides not to leave for one of the open positions that is.
