player. Scouting Report. DT. Georgia. Jordan Davis. 15. 54. Pick Analysis
15. Philadelphia Eagles (via Miami Dolphins): Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia
The Philadelphia Eagles had three picks in this draft but after making a trade with the New Orleans Saints, they now have selections at No. 15 and No. 18. While they won’t be dominating this stretch of the draft the way it seemed initially, they can still come away with a lot of talent to help build up their roster.
At 15, they grab Jordan Davis from Georgia, giving them a huge nose tackle that can replace Fletcher Cox. Philly had released Cox before bringing him back on a more affordable deal and now he gets paired with Davis, who can turn into an absolute monster at the next level.

16. New Orleans Saints (via Philadelphia Eagles through Indianapolis Colts): Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama
Chances are high that the New Orleans Saints will be making another move in the 2022 NFL Draft. It would be very odd for them to have given up a future first-round pick just to see who falls to them at 16 and 19.
However, in this mock there aren’t trade predictions so the Saints do exactly that and they make out rather well with their first pick. Alabama wideout Jameson Williams tore his ACL in the NCAA Championship Game but once healthy, he could end up being the top receiver in this class.
New Orleans is hopeful Michael Thomas can return to full health and if he does, they will have two legit No. 1 wideouts. If he doesn’t, they’re protected there as well.
