1. Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa 6-6 330 lbs 1st Round
   
   
   The 6-6 330 lb Trevor Penning has experience at both left tackle and right tackle. He played football, baseball, and track in High School. Trevor Penning also beat out Buffalo Bills third round pick Spencer Brown for the left tackle job at Northern Iowa. Penning has long arms that are 34 3/4 inches along with massive hands that are 10 1/4 inches. His 83 5/8 wingspan also stands out.
   
   
   
2. Bernard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan 6-6 304 lbs 1st Round
   
   
   Bernard Raimann is the best left tackle Central Michigan has had since Eric Fisher was drafted first overall in the 2013 NFL Draft. Most have compared Raimann to Lane Johnson. Raimann made the transition from tight end to left tackle. Bernard Raimann has 33 inch arms and 10 and 3/8 inch hands. He's big enough to play left tackle in the NFL. He's Trevor Penning's competition to potentially be the first Senior Bowl player drafted this year in Mobile.
   
   
   
3. Jermaine Johnson II, DE/OLB, Florida State 6-5 259 lbs 1st Round
   
   
   Jermaine Johnson puts his hand in the dirt has the body of an outside linebacker. The former Georgia Bulldog outside linebacker transferred to Florida State and broke out at defensive end. He's the best Florida State defensive end since Demarcus Walker, but Jermaine Johnson II has the athleticism that Walker lacked. Jermaine Johnson II had 33 solo tackles, 37 assisted tackles, 70 total tackles, 18 tackles for a loss, and 12 sacks for Florida State. He dominated Zion Nelson, the Miami Hurricanes left tackle who entered the season as my top ranked offensive tackle. Johnson was so dominant against Zion Nelson that he talked Nelson into going back to school with his rip and swim moves. One person who watches Florida State religiously told me he's the first one in and the last one out when it came to practices at Florida State this season. Jermaine Johnson II's discipline is through the roof.
   
   
   
4. Carson Strong, QB, Nevada 6-3 226 lbs 1st Round
   
   
   Carson Strong weighed 6-3 226 lbs gaining 11 lbs of muscle on film. He fires the ball into deep windows. Carson Strong may be a pocket quarterback, but I had him graded higher than Mac Jones who dominated last years Senior Bowl.
   
   
   
5. Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh 6-3 217 lbs 1st Round
   
   
   Kenny Pickett's hand size is still an unknown. He interviewed well at his press conference prior to day 1 of practice at the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl. Pickett like Carson Strong has a better chance of reaching his ceiling than Matt Corral. I got Corral as QB1 for now, but both Carson Strong and Kenny Pickett could end up surpassing Corral with big weeks in Mobile as long as both check out medically by the time the 2022 NFL Combine ends.
   
   
   
6. Zion Johnson, G, Boston College 6-2 314 lbs 2nd Round
   
   
   The 6-2 314 lb Zion Johnson is the top guard in Mobile. He's my third best guard in this entire draft behind Kenyon Green and Ikem Ekwonu in a weak guard draft. Zion Johnson has experience at both left tackle and left guard. He's got 33 7/8 arm length along with 10 7/8 inch hands. His tape checks out since he doesn't give up sacks. He also did a phenomenal job run blocking even after A.J. Dillon left. If both Green and Ekwonu go top 10, Johnson could creep into the late first round with a strong week in Mobile.
   
   
   
7. Logan Hall, DT, Houston 6-5 278 lbs 2nd Round
   
   
   Houston's had lots of first round picks on the defensive line. Two of those picks include defensive tackle Ed Oliver drafted by the Bills and Peyton Turner drafted by the Saints. Don't dismiss Hall just because he's not a 300 lb defensive tackle. Hall has elite athleticism along with the rip and swim moves you want from a starting 4-3 defensive tackle.
   
   
   
8. Isaiah Likely, TE, Coastal Carolina 6-4 241 lbs 2nd Round
   
   
   I think Jalen Wydermyer has the best tape among the tight ends. However I'd argue that Isaiah Likely the best athleticism plus his 10 inch hands don't hurt. He had 8 receptions, 210 receiving yards, and 4 receiving touchdowns against Arkansas State earlier in the regular season.
   
   
   
9. Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State 6-3 249 lbs 2nd Round
   
   
   Trey McBride played football, wrestling, basketball, baseball, and track in High School before committing to Football. He also helped out with his moms non profit charity. McBride is the best blocker in this draft and his production stands out on tape at Colorado State. McBride has 10 1/8 inch hands.
   
   
   
10. Derion Kendrick, CB, Georgia 6-0 202 lbs 2nd Round
    
    
    The 6-0 202 lb Derion Kendrick was a part of Clemson's teams that constantly made the College Football Playoff. He transferred to Georgia for his senior season. Kendrick has two National Championships on his resume. His man and press coverage is elite.
