The 2022 NFL Draft is one week away, and I'm sure you've read your fair share of mock drafts at this point. If you're anything like me, that means you wake up and consume a mock with your morning coffee and then again at lunch. So I wanted to try a different kind of mock draft with a unique spin to it. So we'll do a first-round mock but with a Fantasy Football focus, which means a breakdown of how every pick impacts each prospect and team from a Fantasy standpoint both in the short term for your 2022 season-long drafts and a long term with a focus on Dynasty and keeper leagues. There may not be a consensus at the top of his draft, which makes it fun for the mock drafter, but I feel confident in saying we'll see a lot more wide receivers come off the board than typical. That's a credit to the depth of the receiver position and a nod to the positional value. With top wide receivers in the NFL garnering massive contracts nearing quarterback numbers and requiring massive capital to acquire in trade, it's more important now than ever to draft one locked into a five-year rookie contract. And I think we'll see that reflected in this year's first round.
