In assembling a mock draft, most make their choices based on team needs. There is also who is available at the time each team picks. For instance, if a team desperately needs a quarterback, but the draft class doesn’t have one graded as a top-ten talent, should the team pick a quarterback inside the top 10?
The 2022 NFL draft has several solid quarterback prospects. However, the consensus is none of the passers are worthy of a top-10 selection. Fortunately for the Washington Commanders, they addressed the quarterback position via trade, landing Carson Wentz last month, meaning they aren’t desperate to select a rookie at No. 11 overall.
