NFL World Reacts To Mel Kiper’s New Mock Draft
Earlier today, ESPN NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. released his first official mock for 2022. Kiper will unveil a few different iterations over the next three months.
Among the highlights of Kiper’s initial projection are Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson at No. 1 overall, four quarterbacks in the first round (but none in the top 10) and LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. “slipping” to No. 8.
It’s important to remember that this is just Kiper’s first mock draft and there will be changes made as draft season progresses. That hasn’t stopped NFL analysts and fans from weighing in on what they see right now though.
Not surprisingly, fans are having particularly strong reactions, both good and bad, about what picks Kiper has their team making.
Hutchinson is good but man he does not have all the traits to be a no1 overall guy https://t.co/NEUKYuohQe

Jameson Williams? I don't hate it. 6-2, 189, 4.48. With 1,200 yards. 20.7 YPR & 13 TDs. Plus I never turn down Jamesons. https://t.co/mNKRDCZcZt

Trash mock.. u really think saints taking a qb first round plus Jameson falling to 21? If Jameson still available when the saints draft he’s off the board by then https://t.co/TZv1UhPldj

Taking Aidan Hutchinson over Kayvon Thibodeaux is a HUGE mistake. Bookmark and revisit this time next year. https://t.co/6YQyFxEdhv
