2022 NFL Re-Draft: Evaluating the Biggest Draft Do-Overs and Hidden Gems
1. Jacksonville Jaguars — Sauce Gardner (Cincinnati)
Original 1st Overall Pick: DE Travon Walker
Gardner’s Original Draft Slot: 4th Overall (to NYJ)
Normally, the No. 1 pick in any draft is reserved for a quarterback. From there, elite defensive players or offensive tackles are usually the next in line from a positional standpoint. Well, in this year’s re-draft, the best player bar none was the rookie corner out of Cincinnati.
There’s a case to be made that Gardner is already the league’s best corner. His anticipatory skills were on full display during his rookie campaign with the Jets. Then, you’re looking at a guy with above-average length/height, crazy quickness, and the recovery skills most corners dream of. If Gardner can stay healthy, you’re looking at a potential Hall of Famer down the line. He’s that darn talented.

2. Detroit Lions — Aidan Hutchinson (Michigan)
Original 2nd Overall Pick: Hutchinson
Hutchinson’s Original Draft Slot: 2nd Overall (to DET)
The local product out of Michigan proved to be a very smart acquisition. In 17 games as a rookie, Hutchinson notched a respectable 9.5 sacks. His year also included 3 interceptions, 9.0 TFL, and 52 tackles. Unsurprisingly, he finished second in the Defensive Rookie of the Year voting (only to Gardner). You’re looking at a guy who’s truly developing into a pillar for this franchise. If all goes according to plan, Hutchinson will be a double-digit sack guy for the foreseeable future.

3. Houston Texans — Tariq Woolen (UTSA)
Original 3rd Overall Pick: Derek Stingley
Woolen’s Original Draft Slot: 153rd Overall (to SEA)
The theme of defenders continues here. Remember the ‘Legion of Boom’ — where the Seahawks had a secondary chock-full of gigantic corners and secondary players? Well, Seattle struck gold with Woolen deep in the 5th round. In this re-draft scenario, Houston will still take a corner…except it’ll be Woolen over Derek Stingley.
Woolen stands at an imposing 6-foot-4, 205 pounds. As a rookie, he picked off six passes and accrued 16 pass deflections. We aren’t overly surprised at these numbers based upon Woolen possessing extremely long arms. As a rookie, he was one of two players (the other being Gardner) to make the Pro Bowl.

4. New York Jets — Garrett Wilson (Ohio State)
Original 4th Overall Pick: Sauce Gardner
Wilson’s Original Draft Slot: 10th Overall (to NYJ)
Gardner is off the board at this point. Fortunately for the Jets, they can revisit the Ohio State well and nab their second first-round pick from last year in Garrett Wilson. Despite some rather subpar QB play, the speedy receiver still managed to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
He hauled in 83 grabs for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns. Wilson’s quickness off the line of scrimmage was on full display — as was his ability to create space for himself. Now with Aaron Rodgers in tow, Wilson could develop into one of the better young receivers in all of football.

5. New York Giants — Chris Olave (Ohio State)
Original 5th Overall Pick: Kayvon Thibodeaux
Olave’s Original Draft Slot: 11th Overall (to NO)
It’s no secret the Giants need a lead WR. The Kenny Golladay contract has been disastrous, and no one else on the roster really sticks out as an above-average player at the position. While Thibodeaux was decent as a rookie (more on him later), Olave probably is the pick here.
His route-running skills — which he had been lauded for dating back to his high school days in San Diego — more than translated to the pro level with New Orleans. Also facing a subpar QB situation, Olave still hauled in 72 catches for 1,042 yards and 4 TDs. He’d immediately be the No. 1 receiver for Daniel Jones.

6. Carolina Panthers — Braxton Jones (Southern Utah)
Original 6th Overall Pick: Ikem Ekwonu
Jones’ Original Draft Slot: 168th Overall (to CHI)
The Panthers were still able to nab a tackle here. However, it’s just not the one they originally ended up taking. Braxton Jones was taken in the fifth round by the Bears. Yet, he was arguably the most impressive offensive lineman coming from the college ranks last year.
Using Pro Football Focus and its grading system, Jones graded out as the sixth-best LT in the entire league a season ago. Carolina in theory will need help for this year’s first-rounder in Bryce Young. Based upon his play as a rookie, Jones seems like a perfect piece to the puzzle being built in Charlotte.

7. New York Giants — Kayvon Thibodeaux (Oregon)
Original 7th Overall Pick: Evan Neal
Thibodeaux’s Original Draft Slot: 5th Overall (to NYG)
The G-Men still ended up with their guy here. Having two picks inside the top-10, this re-draft enabled the Giants to get a No. 1 WR and a bona fide pass rusher. Thibodeaux’s numbers on the surface might look a bit underwhelming. He notched only 4.0 sacks on the year.
However, the underlying stats are quite good. He ranked top-10 in passes batted down, and was within the top-25 of all pass rushers in overall grade from PFF. The Los Angeles native figures to take an even bigger step up in production as a second-year player.

8. Atlanta Falcons — Kenny Pickett (Pittsburgh)
Original 8th Overall Pick: Drake London
Pickett’s Original Draft Slot: 20th Overall (to PIT)
Atlanta doesn’t have a franchise quarterback to this point. With all respects to Desmond Ridder, we don’t think he’ll ever become a high-end starter in this league. Pickett would be the natural choice — if for nothing else he’s on the same timeline/frame as Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson.
With the Steelers, Pickett really found his stride in the back half of the season. He was accurate with the football, rarely turned it over, and was highly efficient with throws to all parts of the field. Without a doubt, Atlanta would’ve gobbled him up here in the hypothetical re-draft scenario.

9. Seattle Seahawks — Bernhard Raimann (Central Michigan)
Original 9th Overall Pick: Charles Cross
Raimann’s Original Draft Slot: 77th Overall (to IND)
Securing a quality left tackle is what Seattle aimed for in this draft. While Cross wasn’t a total disaster as a rookie, he was a bit disappointing. In this re-draft, Seattle would opt for Raimann — the Central Michigan product taken in the 3rd round by Indianapolis.
Raimann has proven to be a very athletic player with terrific feet and bend. From an analytics standpoint, PFF had Raimann ranked as the No. 9 overall LT last year. Even more impressive, Raimann was equally as good in both run and pass protection. Getting a guy on a rookie deal with the ability to be a multi-time Pro Bowler is when teams usually have bigtime success.
Image Source: Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
10. New York Jets — Kyle Hamilton (Notre Dame)
Original 10th Overall Pick: Garrett Wilson
Hamilton’s Original Draft Slot: 14th Overall (to BAL)
Hamilton didn’t play a ton of snaps this year for Baltimore’s veteran defense. However, we saw glimpses as to why he was so highly regarded coming out of Notre Dame. He has the ability to play all over the field — whether lined up in the slot as a jumbo corner, off the edge as a pass rusher, standing up as a speedy ‘backer, or even as a massive deep safety. He had 62 total tackles, 2.0 sacks and 5 pass deflections.
According to PFF, Hamilton graded out as the fourth-best safety (out of 74) in all of professional football with at least 500 snaps. Suffice it to say, but imagine how scary the Jets’ defense would look with Hamilton in the fold.
Image Source: Dylan Buell/Getty Images
11. New Orleans Saints — Christian Watson (North Dakota State)
Original 11th Overall Pick: Chris Olave
Watson’s Original Draft Slot: 34th Overall (to GB)
With Olave off the board and the Saints still needing a WR, we’ll opt for New Orleans to go with Christian Watson. In his time with the Packers last year, we saw some real promise. There were glimpses of a guy who could make the Pro Bowl (seven of his 41 receptions were TDs).
Some even think Watson could be the next Vincent Jackson or Mike Evans. You know — the deep threat receiver who also boasts some real height in the process. For the Saints, he makes perfect sense at this spot. The hope is the franchise will be able to unlock all of his potential en route to a productive career.

12. Detroit Lions — Zion Johnson (Boston College)
Original 12th Overall Pick: Jameson Williams
Johnson’s Original Draft Slot: 17th Overall (to GB)
Beefing up the offensive line is always a point of priority for young teams. While the Lions have some bookend tackles and a strong center in the fold, the guard position would be served quite well by the addition of Johnson.
Last year with the Chargers, Johnson became one of the league’s better right guards. He has the versatility from his college days to play other spots on the offensive line in a pinch if need be. While not a sexy pick, this would probably help the Lions more down the line.
Image Source: Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
13. Philadelphia Eagles — Tyler Linderbaum (Iowa)
Original 13th Overall Pick: Jordan Davis
Linderbaum’s Original Draft Slot: 25th Overall (to GB)
This is a perfect fit. Jason Kelce is getting a bit too long in the proverbial tooth — and it won’t be long until he retires. Linderbaum is the ultimate replacement for the future Hall of Famer. For one, he comes from an OL factory in Iowa. The college is known to churn out some very good offensive linemen. Secondly, Linderbaum’s skill-set — along with his collective toughness and football I.Q. — should be able to fit seamlessly behind Kelce and eventually for him. You’re potentially looking at a future multi-time Pro Bowler. Just as a rookie alone, PFF had Linderbaum with the sixth-highest grade of any center in the NFL last year.
Image Source: G Fiume/Getty Images
14. Baltimore Ravens — Drake London (USC)
Original 14th Overall Pick: Kyle Hamilton
London’s Original Draft Slot: 8th Overall (to ATL)
With Hamilton off the board, Baltimore should go out and get a player for Lamar Jackson to throw to. Fortunately, Drake London fell into its lap. The LA native is a freak athlete — using his experience as both a basketball and football player to high-point any throw coming his way.
In fact, London’s bread-and-butter comes on go-routes where he can out-jump the defender while simultaneously boxing them out for space on the field. With the Falcons, he graded out spectacularly high when on the field. London finished with 866 receiving yards on 72 catches and 4 TDs.
Image Source: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
15. Houston Texans — Jordan Davis (Georgia)
Original 15th Overall Pick: Kenyon Green
Davis’ Original Draft Slot: 13th Overall (to ATL)
This is a potential pick — the type you hope and pray pans out. Houston can afford to get a bit creative here. Some think Davis is the most talented player in this entire draft. As a rookie, he started in only five games for the Eagles — totaling 18 tackles and 1.0 TFL. Houston will hope it hits a home run in this scenario. If the 6-foot-6 DL can get into optimal shape, it’ll go a long way towards making the Texans relevant again. Plus, new HC DeMeco Ryans is rooted on the defensive side of the ball. Davis could be the anchor in the middle of his new defensive scheme.
Image Source: Andy Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
16. Washington Commanders — Jameson Williams (Alabama)
Original 16th Overall Pick: Jahan Dotson
Williams’ Original Draft Slot: 12th Overall (to DET)
It’s been a bit of a turbulent start to Jameson Williams’ career. The former Ohio State standout tore his ACL in the 2022 title game, and didn’t see his first taste of NFL action as a rookie until Week 13. This past offseason, Williams was handed a six-game suspension along with a few other Lions players for violating the league’s gambling policy. Though Williams has been unavailable for long stretches of his career already, his skillset is invaluable in today’s pass-heavy league. Williams caught just one pass a rookie — a 41-yard touchdown — and boasts game-breaking speed to blow the top off of defenses.
Image Source: Rey Del Rio/Getty Images
17. Los Angeles Chargers — Evan Neal (Alabama)
Original 17th Overall Pick: Zion Johnson
Neal’s Original Draft Slot: 7th Overall (to NYG)
It’s been a process for the Chargers sculpting an offensive line in front of franchise QB Justin Herbert. With Zion Johnson off the board in this scenario, they’ll have to go in a different direction. The tackle spot opposite former first-round pick Rashawn Slater — currently occupied by third-round pick Trey Pipkins — has been an area where the line has struggled. Evan Neal was up-and-down as a rookie, but he provides considerable upside at this point in the draft.
Image Source: Bailey Hillesheim/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
18. Tennessee Titans — Brock Purdy (Iowa State)
Original 18th Overall Pick: Treylon Burks
Purdy’s Original Draft Slot: 262nd Overall (to SF)
The 49ers hit the jackpot with the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. Following injuries to their two top QB’s, rookie Brock Purdy was called upon to lead his new team. And, Purdy was sensational when thrust into action. The 262nd pick in the draft led the Niners to seven-straight wins — including a pair of victories in the postseason. Had it not been for an injury sustained early in the NFC Championship Game, Purdy may have led San Francisco to a Super Bowl berth. While he has clear limitations as a thrower, Purdy’s competitiveness and creativity make him arguably the most intriguing QB prospect in this entire class.
Image Source: Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports
19. New Orleans Saints — Ikem Ekwonu (North Carolina State)
Original 19th Overall Pick: Trevor Penning
Ekwonu’s Original Draft Slot: 6th Overall (to CAR)
New Orleans swaps out one offensive lineman for another in this scenario. Trevor Penning could still very well develop into a Pro Bowl talent. Though, he didn’t exactly establish himself as much during a injury-riddle rookie campaign. Penning may have versatility on his side, but Ikem Ekwonu is an explosive athlete who may very well be a franchise tackle before long. Ekwonu was relied upon early, starting all 17 games for the Panthers as a first-year player. The team never took him off the field, showing that they trusted the 22-year-old Ekwonu to get the job done.
Image Source: Eakin Howard/Getty Images)
20. Pittsburgh Steelers — Travon Walker (Georgia)
Original 20th Overall Pick: Kenny Pickett
Walker’s Original Draft Slot: 1st Overall (to JAC)
Travon Walker, by most measures, had a fairly successful rookie campaign. Walker played in 15 regular season games and registered 3.5 sacks. He was even fairly productive in two postseason games for the Jaguars, notching three QB hits against Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes. Though, the standards for a No. 1 pick are typically a bit higher. Walker certainly has the physical tools to live up to his draft status, and we’re positive a team in the first-round would take a shot on him again. The Steelers could definitely use more depth at pass rusher, as just three players on the team registered more than 2.0 sacks last year — one of those being T.J. Watt (who missed half the season).
Image Source: Lance King/Getty Images
21. Kansas City Chiefs — Trent McDuffie (Washington)
Original 21st Overall Pick: Trent McDuffie
McDuffie’s Original Draft Slot: 21st Overall (to KC)
It’s hard to disagree with anything the defending champs have done recently. Among their strong decisions as of late, the Chiefs nailed it with their first-round pick in ’22. In his first year, CB Trent McDuffie played a huge part for a Kansas City defense that had a few big moments over the course of the season. McDuffie started all 11 games he appeared in, providing solid coverage in both the run and pass. The Chiefs had to get younger defensively, and McDuffie represents a youth movement which has already paid dividends for the AFC powerhouse.
Image Source: Cooper Neill/Getty Images
22. Green Bay Packers — Abraham Lucas (Washington State)
Original 22nd Overall Pick: Quay Walker
Lucas’ Original Draft Slot: 72nd Overall (to SEA)
Seattle’s ’22 class was stacked with talent, as the Seahawks nailed virtually every pick they made. In the third round, Seattle scooped up Washington St. offensive lineman Abraham Lucas. He started 16 games as a rookie at RT. It’s not too often you see a team draft two franchise tackles in the same draft — Seattle’s first-round pick was LT Charles Cross. Lucas used his powerful frame to upend pass rushers, earning a stellar 68.5 PFF grade — fourth among rookie offensive tackles.
Image Source: Christopher Mast/Getty Images
23. Buffalo Bills — Derek Stingley (LSU)
Original 23rd Overall Pick: Kaiir Elam
Stingley’s Original Draft Slot: 3rd Overall (to HOU)
Derek Stingley Jr. ended up being the first defensive back taken off the board when the Texans selected him third overall. Stingley’s struggles as a rookie were highlighted — sometimes unfairly — due to being compared to two Pro Bowlers in the same class (Sauce Gardner, Tariq Woolen). When in reality, rookie corners struggle in predictable ways every year. It would be premature to count Stingley out after an up-and-down first year, as he possess several traits befitting a top corner. A well-run team like the Bills would pounce at the chance to get a player as talented as Stingley at this point in the draft.
Image Source: Cooper Neill/Getty Images
24. Dallas Cowboys — Tyler Smith (Tulsa)
Original 24th Overall Pick: Tyler Smith
Davis’ Original Draft Slot: 24th Overall (to DAL)
Dallas’ Tyler Smith is another offensive lineman who made an instant impact in his first year. Smith started all 17 regular season games (plus two postseason games) for a Cowboys team that has dealt with several injuries up front. Getting younger across the line has clearly been a point of emphasis for Dallas recently. Protecting QB Dak Prescott is key to this offense’s success — especially since Prescott’s recent lower body injuries has limited his mobility. We see no reason why the Cowboys wouldn’t make this selection again.
Image Source: Cooper Neill/Getty Images
25. Baltimore Ravens — Tyler Allgeier (BYU)
Original 25th Overall Pick: Tyler Linderbaum
Davis’ Original Draft Slot: 151st Overall (to ATL)
Our first running back off the board is Atlanta’s Tyler Allgeier — who quietly put together a strong rookie campaign. Despite starting in just seven games all year, Allgeier rushed for 1,035 yards on 210 carries. Allgeier — who was actually selected in the fifth round of the ’22 NFL Draft — runs with tremendous balance and patience as he waits for holes to develop before attacking downhill. The Ravens have always favored running backs, and have struggled to keep their own healthy over the years. Allgeier adds a dynamic element in the backfield next to the most electric dual-threat QB in the NFL.
Image Source: Cooper Neill/Getty Images
26. New York Jets — Charles Cross (Mississippi State)
Original 26th Overall Pick: Jermaine Johnson II
Davis’ Original Draft Slot: 9th Overall (to SEA)
The second of Seattle tackles to be drafted in this re-do, Charles Cross goes a bit lower than his real draft spot of No. 9 overall. This is a position of need for a Jets team that seemingly can’t figure out its offensive line puzzle. Former first-round pick Mekhi Becton has been in flux due to injury. The team has turned to stopgap options, but a player like Cross offers a long-term solution. If this had played out originally, Cross would be gearing up for Year 2 to help anchor an offensive line tasked with protecting QB Aaron Rodgers.
Image Source: Steph Chambers/Getty Images
27. Jacksonville Jaguars — Drake Jackson (USC)
Original 27th Overall Pick: Devin Lloyd
Jackson’s Original Draft Slot: 61st Overall (to SF)
The Jaguars are in an interesting spot here, as they still need a pass rusher after taking Sauce Gardner first overall. With Travon Walker off the board, the Jaguars turn to a player with vaguely similar physical tools. Jackson fits the mold of the fast, quick-twitched edge defender who excels at rushing the passer. He rotated in for a stacked 49ers defense as a rookie, playing in 15 games and registering 3.0 sacks. Jackson would likely be asked to play a bigger role for a Jags team that doesn’t have a whole lot of talent upfront outside of former first-round pick Josh Allen.
Image Source: Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty Images
28. Green Bay Packers — Chigoziem Okonkwo (Maryland)
Original 28th Overall Pick: Devonte Wyatt
Okonkwo’s Original Draft Slot: 143rd Overall (to TEN)
Tight ends almost always struggle in their first year. It’s widely accepted that it’s a difficult position to learn, and even all-time greats struggled adapting early. That being said, when a first-year TE does show positive signs in the early going it’s usually a strong indicator for sustained success. Okonkwo finished the year on a high note, putting up nearly 400 yards over the last 10 games despite a limited snap count. With Austin Hooper leaving this offseason, Okonkwo will be the uncontested TE1 on the Titans heading into ’23. Watch out for a big season from the athletic pass catcher.
Image Source: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
29. New England Patriots — Kenneth Walker II (Michigan State)
Original 29th Overall Pick: Cole Strange
Walker’s Original Draft Slot: 41st Overall (to SEA)
You know the Seahawks had a good draft when a 1,200-yard rookie RB wasn’t even one of their three best selections. Kenneth Walker was the second running back taken off the board in the original draft (Breece Hall), and finished second in Rookie of the Year voting. In 15 games, Walker accrued 1,215 scrimmage yards and nine scores. He finished the regular season with three consecutive games over 100 rushing yards. Walker has the size, speed, and burst to one day be one of the league’s top backs.
Image Source: Phil Walter/Getty Images
30. Kansas City Chiefs — Isiah Pacheco (Rutgers)
Original 30th Overall Pick: George Karlaftis
Davis’ Original Draft Slot: 251st Overall (to KC)
The Chiefs would not be able to wait until the seventh round to take Isiah Pacheco in a re-draft. The rusher from Rutgers vastly outplayed his draft position en route to helping the Chiefs capture a Super Bowl title. Over the years, the Chiefs have learned that having a one-dimensional attack can be costly. Though the passing game is Kansas City’s bread-and-butter, having a complementary downhill rushing attack can pay dividends. Pacheco gave the Chiefs a new dimension as a powerful runner who can break tackles and wear down opposing fronts. You could visually see Pacheco taking over games with physicality down the stretch as defenses struggled to keep up.
Image Source: Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports
31. Cincinnati Bengals — Dameon Pierce (Florida)
Original 31st Overall Pick: Daxton Hill
Pierce’s Original Draft Slot: 107th Overall (to HOU)
A third-straight running back! The ’22 class was filled with dynamic runners. We still haven’t even other gifted runners like Breece Hall, James Cook, Brian Robinson Jr., and Rachaad White, all of which showed flashes in Year 1. Houston’s Dameon Pierce deserves plenty of credit, as well. Playing alongside a lackluster supporting cast in Houston, Pierce eclipsed 1,000 scrimmage yards in only 13 games. The Bengals really need another option to keep Joe Mixon fresh, and Pierce would provide an excellent contrast to the veteran RB’s style.
Image Source: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
32. Minnesota Vikings — Martin Emerson (Mississippi State)
Original 32nd Overall Pick: Lewis Cine
Davis’ Original Draft Slot: 68th Overall (to CLE)
You can never have enough defensive backs in today’s league. With offenses bringing out more and more capable pass catchers, defenses need to be stocked with athletic DB’s who can matchup in the open field. Cleveland’s Martin Emerson proved he can be that type of player as he appeared in all 17 games as a rookie. Emerson’s size — 6-foot-2 with long arms — makes him an ideal option to defend perimeter wideouts. The Vikings might have the single worst cornerback room in all of football. Emerson would be a Day 1 starter.

Post-Lottery NBA 2023 Mock Draft
1. San Antonio Spurs — Victor Wembanyama, F, France
Once more, the Spurs have won the NBA Draft Lottery. And, yet again, it could not have happened at a more opportune time. San Antonio has missed the postseason four years in a row. The Spurs had previously missed the playoffs just four times total since joining the NBA in 1976. This is a franchise unfamiliar with winning droughts, but they picked up a huge win on the night of the NBA Draft Lottery.
As such, they are now in line to draft what many are calling a generational talent. The type of talent only rivaled by LeBron James in terms of hype. Wembanyama is essentially a 7-foot-4 version of Kevin Durant with shot-blocking skills. We’ve never seen a player like this. If he can stay healthy and avoid the foot injuries that plague many his height, we’re looking at a seriously transcendent guy. It’s fitting for the Spurs of all teams to get another big man unicorn (Tim Duncan) ironically hailing from France (Tony Parker).
Image Source: Steve Marcus/USA TODAY Sports
2. Charlotte Hornets — Brandon Miller, F, Alabama
Brandon Miller is the type of prospect that scouts salivate over. At a shade under 6-foot-10, he’s the classic explosive athlete with a string bean frame yet tantalizing upside. There’s no doubt that he must add strength and bulk to his 200-pound frame. With that said, Miller does possess a toolbox worth investing in.
He can play both the 3 and 4 spots (and projects to probably be more of a stretch four down the line). Miller is known for being very good in the mid-range, and he also has ability when taking bigger players off the dribble. There’s a smoothness to his game — and the potential on the defensive side of the floor is undeniable. Charlotte narrowly missed out on No. 1, but Miller would be in contention for the top pick any other year and projects to be a good fit next to Hornets star LaMelo Ball.

3. Portland Trail Blazers — Jarace Walker, F, Houston
Walker is a 6-foot-8 combo forward with a 7-foot-2 wingspan. He plays very hard — on both ends of the floor (a staple of Houston’s program). Walker can get his on the offensive end. This includes playing with the ball in his hands, and also without as a cutter/diver towards the rim. Defensively, Walker can guard multiple positions and utilizes his strength, size, and agility to bother opposing players.
Portland could go any number of ways with this pick. Walker fits in as a plug-and-play piece should the Blazers opt to roll with the players they have now. However, we cannot rule out the potential for a full-on rebuild. Which could possibly include a Damian Lillard trade. If that did happen, one of the remaining guards could be taken at this spot.
Image Source: Patrick McDermott/Getty Images
4. Houston Rockets — Scoot Henderson, G, G-League
Jalen Green is a budding star at the shooting guard spot. Kevin Porter Jr. is likely best suited as a creative scorer off the bench. Young big men Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun are perfect complements to one another. All that’s really missing from this young group is a point guard. Enter Scoot Henderson — the perceived best floor leader from this draft.
Henderson is known for his explosiveness off the dribble. He can get into the lane whenever he wants, and has the ability to finish at the rim quite effortlessly. Henderson is even proficient with a silk midrange jumper. What most impresses us is his collective savvy. He plays the game under control, and is very adept at getting others involved. Houston would be doing cartwheels if Henderson falls to this spot.

5. Detroit Pistons — Amen Thompson, G, Overtime Elite
Like twin brother Ausar, Amen skipped college in favor of a faster route to playing professional basketball. he’s a springy 6-foot-7 wing with an impressive 6-foot-11 wingspan. With his impressive frame, Ausar is a potential matchup nightmare at the two spot. He can shoot over most players at his position, and Amen also has the athletic ability to get to the paint at will.
This would be a good fit for the Pistons, as Amen has some considerable upside. We’re not saying he’s the next Tracy McGrady. Amen is considerably shorter in comparison. However, there are some crossover traits between their respective games.

6. Orlando Magic — Anthony Black, G, Arkansas
Black is a unique player. If LaMelo Ball, Kyle Anderson, and Shaun Livingston had a baby, you’d end up with the freshman out of Arkansas. At 6-foot-7, Black is a true facilitator of the basketball. He won’t necessarily ‘wow’ you with athletic ability. With that said, he has a unique skill-set which is crafted around making life easier for teammates.
The Magic are essentially collecting two-way, high-IQ players who like to share the ball. Black would be a seamless fit as he doesn’t need to necessarily disrupt the offensive flow to be a difference-maker. With Black, Franz Wagner, and Paolo Banchero in tow, the Magic would have three jumbo playmakers who can create for themselves and others.
Image Source: Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
7. Indiana Pacers — Cam Whitmore, F, Villanova
Cam Whitmore would be a perfect fit for a Pacers looking to return to the postseason. In terms of his collegiate choice, there wasn’t a better place to hone his skills than Villanova. The Philadelphia product is tough as nails, a high-octane athlete, has a motor that doesn’t stop, and is a very high-character kid.
His athleticism pops off the screen whenever watching him play. Whitmore plays above the rim — and often bigger than his size would indicate as a 6-foot-7 small forward. His ball-handling skills are good, as is his ability to drive to the cup. If he can unlock his perimeter shot and become decent in that category, the sky’s the limit with his potential.
Image Source: Rich Schultz/Getty Images
8. Washington Wizards — Ausar Thompson, G, Overtime Elite
Ausar is a slightly bigger, more defensive-minded player compared to his brother (Amen). Whereas Amen is more of a jumbo two guard, Ausar is a classic wing — ready to compete and take on any challenge in front of him. He is the type of guy who is positionless on that end of the floor. Whether it be smaller, quicker guys or bigger, taller athletes, Ausar relishes the opportunity to make life difficult.
Offensively, Ausar is far from a finished product. He does boast a rather clean shot from the perimeter — though his ball skills need some refining. As an ultimate best-case scenario, you could be looking at someone akin to Kawhi Leonard (if the offensive game improves). If not, the (scary) comparison could be a slightly better offensive version of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

9. Utah Jazz — Gradey Dick, F, Kansas
Kansas’ Gradey Dick was one of the stars of college basketball last season. The Wichita native made a name for himse
