Six Pac-12 Players Picked in Latest Two-Round NFL Mock Draft
We're nine days away from the NFL draft, and the Pac-12 figures to be active throughout all seven rounds.
In 2021, the Pac-12 had a total of 28 players selected, with three (Penei Sewell, Alijah Vera-Tucker and Joe Tryon) taken in the first 32 picks. According to Pac12.com, last year marked the 11th consecutive draft where at least three Pac-12 players were selected in the first round.
That streak looks to be extended in 2022, as the conference has a number of players that should hear their name called on draft night.
The most likely candidate to go off the board first is Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux, a dominant pass rusher that looks like a strong candidate to become the Ducks' third consecutive top-10 pick behind Sewell and Justin Herbert.
USC receiver Drake London is a strong candidate to be the first receiver off the board. Heading into this year, the Trojans have had 72 first-round picks since 1967, tied with Ohio State for the most of any school over that stretch.
The duo of Washington corners, Trent McDuffie and Kyler Gordon, are both possibilities to end up as first-round picks despite their different skill sets.
Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd looks to become the ninth player in program history to be selected in the first round. Lloyd, if taken on the first night of the draft, would become the first Utah defensive player to be picked in the first round since Star Lotulelei in 2013.
Pro Football Focus' Anthony Treash recently released a two-round mock draft that featured six Pac-12 players off the board in the first 64 picks, with five going in the first round.
