The first round of the 2022 NFL draft begins Thursday night at 5 p.m. Arizona time and the final mock drafts from all the major media outlets are in. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, one of the best in the business when it comes to the NFL draft, released his final mock draft of the year.
With the 23rd overall pick in the draft, Jeremiah projects the Cardinals will go with the polarizing edge prospect out of Purdue, George Karlaftis. He’s one of the most associated names with the Cardinals and has been linked to them throughout the entire draft process. Much of that is based on them visiting with them coupled with the obvious need at the position.
The Cardinals need to address their pass rush in this draft. Karlaftis can win on the edge or inside.
