2022 NFL Draft Prospect Spreadsheet and Three Round Mock Draft

Posted on by Tom C

I have created a spreadsheet of the top draft prospects and their ranking among various big boards. The spreadsheet lists all the rankings and provides summary statistics such as average, minimum and maximum rank. You can download the spreadsheet at Google Docs at the link Google Docs Spreadsheet of Draft Prospects. 

There is also a Mock draft in the spreadsheet. I did a three round mock draft (without simulator) up to the Giants second third round pick. Here is a list of the first round

Here is a list of attributes for why George Karlaftis should be the Giants pick.

Trait Check George Karlaftis
Work Ethic √ “I wanted to become better and better and better, so I was exhausting all my time and all my resources into becoming the best player I can be. This is probably later in my life and in college, whether that was finding guys that were good at MMA and boxing and that kind of stuff, and picking their brain and working with them. I work with my position coach for extra conditioning, extra strength work, extra film work, mobility work with the trainers.” – George interview
“He’s just off the charts from wanting to be the very best he can be.” – Coach Hagan
Talent √ George has great hand usage and has put in the extra effort studying MMA to perfect that skilll. He is not the most bendy edge rusher but compensates with his power and athleticism. Burst off the snap is really top tier.
Attention to Detail √ George pays attention to the details of diet, weight training, mixed martial arts hand training and film study. He watches other drafted players and NFL players to pick up play pointers.
Physical Ability √ Number 7 on Bruce Feldman’s 2021 biggest Freaks in college football. He power cleans 380, broad jumps 10-1; and a 37-inch vertical. His 40 this offseason was 4.69, that’s blazing fast for a 272-pounder. George is 6’4” and 275 lbs. The height is good and the weight is above average. Yet he moves well and is incedibly strong.
Rise to Occasion √ The game in which Purdue upset Iowa, the number 2 team in the nation. Karlaftis was doubled, tripled, chipped, and cut, and he was still credited with 10 pressures. He absolutely dominated the game with one tackle, one TFL, and one sack. That was his stat line… and he controlled the outcome. For all of their offensive struggles, Iowa has a talented offensive line. Karlaftis had more pressures against them than any player has had against the Hawkeyes during the PFF College era.
Instincts √ Very good mental processing and instincts, he can key and diagnose run schemes very easily, displays great instincts to shoot gaps and blow up run plays in the backfield.
Passion √ “Just all-around exhausting every resource [so] that I could become the best player, and just thinking about it, even just sitting at home watching TV, subconsciously thinking about football. That’s going to get you better if it was just thinking about something, and thinking about it and thinking about it, you might figure something out. So just that obsession.” – George interview
Mental Acuity √ George reminds me a lot of former Patriots Teddy Bruschi and like Teddy seems to identify where the ball is after the snap, quicker than the average player in the front 7 can identify. He reads the offense like a QB reads the defense and that is a unique skill for a player coming out of the college level at any position.- Boyhart Huddle Report
Leadership √ He’s led the way by showcasing an indomitable work ethic off the field and an unrelenting style of play on it.
“So you not only set the standard, but you make sure everybody’s adhering to that standard. He’s doing more of that I think he’s come a long way but still has a long way to go.” – Coach Hagan
Effort √ George displays an excellent motor and gives relentless effort. Karlaftis makes a second effort in the pass rush, flows to the ball in the ground game, and will hustle downfield to get in on tackles in the secondary after completions. He has the look of a pure football player. – Walter Football
Production √ 2019 FWAA Freshman All America Team. Karlaftis had the third most sacks per game among freshman players. He recorded 55 total quarterback pressures on the year, the most by any freshman defender.

2020 Karlaftis started only three games before missing significant time due to injury and COVID-19. He still made the 2020 All Big Ten Coaches Second Team and had two sacks.

2021 ED ranks, per @PFF:
Overall grade: 87.2 (11th)
Pass-rush grade: 90.6 (T-15th)
Total pressures: 54 (T-12th)
Sacks: 5 (T-123rd)
Pass-rush win-rate: 23.6% (14th)
Run defense grade: 75.1 (77th)

I will continue to update the spreadsheet at intervals leading up to the draft. I also may finish the mock draft. So if you download the spreadsheet check back at the Google Docs link for updates. I hope you find it useful.
