The first round of the 2022 NFL Draft saw nine trades take place from picks 10 through 32. The chaos continued into Day 2 as several big-name players slipped down the board.
Two prospects who endured surprising free falls were Liberty quarterback Malik Willis and Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean. Both were thought to be potential first-round selections, but they fell all the way to the middle of the third round. Dean went 83rd overall to the Eagles while Willis went a few picks later to the Titans at No. 86.
Just four quarterbacks were drafted in the first three rounds. That means Sam Howell, who was once considered a potential No. 1 overall pick in this class, is still available, as are several other passers and one of The Sporting News' top 50 prospects.
TSN ranked the top 200 players in the 2022 NFL Draft before the event. Below are the players from that list who remain unselected ahead of the draft's final day.
