Apr 28, 2022, 03:00 AMThe 2022 NFL draft is here. Teams are setting their needs, prospects are prepped and draft boards are getting clearer. How do the top players at every position stack up?
We pulled together top-five rankings at every single position from our four NFL draft analysts -- Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay, Jordan Reid and Matt Miller. How do their evaluations differ, and which players are the unanimous No. 1s at their positions. How do the analysts view Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis and the rest of the quarterback class? How does another great wide receiver class fill out? Ahmad Gardner or Derek Stingley Jr. as the top cornerback? And is it Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson or Georgia's Travon Walker at defensive end? And yes -- we even hit the special teams standouts.
Get a side-by-side look at all four experts' positional breakdowns. Plus, we took each analyst's overall rankings, averaged them out and came up with a consensus top-10 ranking for the 2022 class. Who makes it onto the list? Let's dive in.
