As we move closer to the 2022 NFL Draft, we have to finalize our positional rankings. We have watched the film, monitored the Senior Bowl and the combine, and now it's time to complete the analysis. Below, you can find our player positional grades, including our final grades, ceiling grades, and where each player ranks on the current NFL Draft Big Board.

Positional Ranking By Final Grade
The final grade represents the level of the immediate impact we project a player can make in their first year.
Tier One
Jameson Williams Bama High-End Starter Potential
Chris Olave Ohio ST. High-End Starter Potential
Garrett Wilson Ohio St. High-End Starter Potential
Drake London USC High-End Starter Potential
Tier Two
David Bell Purdue Solid Starter Level
Jahan Dotson Penn St. Solid Starter Level
George Pickens Georgia Solid Starter Level

Positional Ranking by Ceiling Grade
The ceiling grade projects the highest level of potential we believe a prospect can reach once they have developed their skills at the NFL level. If a player enters the NFL with a developmental grade (1-3 years development) with a ceiling of projected high-end starter, we believe that the prospect has the potential to reach their projected ceiling if in the right situation within 1-3 years. The projected time frame might vary based on a player's final grade and film review.
