2022 NFL Seven-Round Mock Draft: Steelers, Falcons and Panthers land QBs after Day 1; a look at all 262 picks

All told, 39 wide receivers, 31 cornerbacks and 28 pass rushers account for 37 percent of players selected

The end is nigh sounds a tad too apocalyptical but we're almost there. As someone who does a mock draft every week starting in the fall with college football, we typically mark time not by calendars or watches, but my mock-draft versions. And when it's time to unveil the seven-rounder, it can only mean one thing: the actual 2022 NFL Draft isn't far off.

Because last week's three-round mock went over so well (for real -- most fans not cheering for the Jets and Bengals were pretty receptive which, frankly, was a nice change of pace), it only made sense to follow it up with seven rounds, all 262 picks.

Three quarterbacks go in the first round, and three more go in Rounds 2-4 combined, where the Falcons, Steelers and Panthers roll the dice on a passer. (History says taking QBs after the first round is a waste of time but we're guessing it won't stop desperate teams from trying to beat the odds for the next Derek Carr or Russell Wilson.)
