31. Cincinnati Bengals: Kenyon Green, OL, Texas A&M

Going into the 2021 college football season, Texas A&M had one of the most hyped rosters in the country and Kenyon Green was one of the top players in focus.

The big-time offensive line prospect was going to play left tackle and prove to the NFL world that he could stick there for the foreseeable future.

Although left tackle remains “an” option for Green, I think he’s best suited for the interior offensive line but he has proven to be a quality starter at a variety of positions on the line.

For the Bengals, who have taken on a massive makeover on the offensive line in 2022, Green could be a starting left guard from day one.

32. Detroit Lions: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah

The Detroit Lions went with an EDGE early in this mock draft scenario, and here they get one of the country’s best overall defensive players in Devin Lloyd.

Lloyd was an absolute monster for the Utes in 2021, racking up 111 total tackles, 22 tackles for loss, seven sacks, four interceptions, and six passes broken up.

It was truly a remarkable season for Lloyd who would become the leader of this young Lions defense under coordinator Aaron Glenn.
