Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler and North Carolina’s Sam Howell are the early favorites to be next year’s top pick in the NFL Draft. LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., after what will be his third year starring in the Tigers’ secondary after emerging as a freshman in their national title run, will finally be available. A strong pass rusher with local ties from Cleveland Heights should be in next year’s draft class, too. With the final pick made for this year’s draft in Cleveland, it’s time for an early look ahead to the 2022 NFL Draft, which will be hosted by Las Vegas.
