The 2022 NFL Draft is full of talented position players but short on elite quarterback prospects. How will that impact the Dallas Cowboys first selection at pick #24? Photo by Maize and Blue Nation https://www.flickr.com/photos/maizenbluenation/
The following 32 team 2022 mock draft features a different selection for Dallas from my most recent 7 round Dallas Cowboys mock draft. The Dallas Cowboys still address the interior offensive line here while several other offensive linemen and edge rushers dominate the early selections. There are a few surprise selections, some aggressive trades from a Super Bowl contender loaded with draft capital, as well as a few teams making moves to secure a quarterback.
