The 2022 NFL Draft will be here before we know it, and recently, several analysts have released their first-round mock drafts.

The latest to do so is NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah, as he projects 8 former Big Ten standouts to be first-round picks.

While many figure Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson will be the No. 1 overall pick to the Jaguars, Jeremiah thinks Hutchinson will fall to the Detroit Lions at No. 2. The analyst has Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal going No. 1 overall.
