Big Blue View

On Feb. 18, I wrote my first top-36 mock draft for Big Blue View. It was only two months ago, but it seems like an eternity by pre-draft standards. The free agency period initiated the process of the new league year, and many teams found veteran answers to their roster holes. The 2022 NFL Scouting Combine took place, and the accurate measurables - both physically and athletically - were proven. Specific teams’ front office Pro Day attendance also helped glean possible interest in certain players. The New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a trade that lessoned the Eagles’ first-round selections from three to two while giving the Saints an extra first-rounder. Other trades around the NFL have also significantly impacted the draft. Davante Adams to the Raiders! Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins! DeShaun Watson to the Browns! Matt Ryan to the Colts! Carson Wentz to the Commanders?? And those were just some of the major offensive moves. It seemed like significant NFL news was daily for about two weeks straight.
