With the 2022 NFL Draft behind us, we can check the results of how the prominent mock drafts fared.
I was happy with the results of my 2022 NFL Mock Draft when taking into account the missed Texans pick, which began a horrible cascade. Thanks to the outstanding reporting Charlie Campbell provides, as well as other extremely helpful sources of information, I was able to get eight picks correct despite guessing wrong on No. 3.
As you can see below, the NFL Draft is very difficult to predict, as evidenced by some of the low scores. This year, in particular, was difficult because of the seven trades in the opening round. There were just three first-round trades in 2021!
