NFL Draft prospects 2022: Who are the best players still available for Rounds 4-7? image

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.

Faalele has been an Australian sensation with his incredible size and rapid development in the athletic part of his game.

51. Darian Kinnard, OT/G, Kentucky (6-5, 345 pounds)

71. Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina (6-0, 218 pounds)

73. Tariq Woolen, CB, Texas-San Antonio (6-4, 205 pounds)

Woolen is getting more attention for being an adept skill and scheme-versatile cover man, although he needs to improve other areas of his game to match his size.
