2022 NFL Mock Draft: Dallas Cowboys reach for surprise EDGE
By Randy Gurzi
USC. 13. player. Pick Analysis. Drake London. 10. Scouting Report. WR
13. Houston Texans (via Cleveland Browns): Drake London, WR, USC
The Houston Texans were part of one of the biggest trades ever this offseason when they sent Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns. The highlight of the deal was the three first-round selections Houston will get from the Browns, the first of which comes here at No. 13.
There’s no limit to where the Texans could look with this pick since their entire roster needs work. However, in this mock, they elect to add some firepower to their offense as they bring in Drake London from USC.
A tall receiver with a basketball background, London was a big play waiting to happen for the Trojans and should help them see what they have in Davis Mills this season.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. CB. LSU. Derek Stingley. 14. player. 26
14. Baltimore Ravens: Derek Stingley, CB, LSU
Offensive tackle was a huge need for the Baltimore Ravens heading into the offseason but they made a very good, and underrated, move when they added Morgan Moses to play opposite Ronnie Stanley. That addition should solidify things up front and allow them to address another position, which they do here as they take Derek Stingley from LSU.
Stingley was widely considered the No. 1 cornerback prospect in this class but Sauce Gardner appears to have taken that role from him. Having said that, Stingley is no consolation prize as the Ravens get themselves a legit starting corner who can help from day one.
