Given the relatively weak quarterback class in 2022, it may not be surprising that four offensive linemen were off the board before the first QB in my latest mock draft.
Even though offensive tackles are a stronger group overall than their interior counterparts, both are talented and deep this year.
Over the past 10 drafts, an average of 5.8 offensive linemen have been selected in the first round. The number of first-round offensive linemen selected in all three iterations of my mocks thus far has exceeded that average.
