It’s not a great time to need a quarterback in the NFL Draft, but it’s still a pass-first league.
So, what else do teams need to survive? Pass-rushers, offensive tackles, defensive backs and receivers.
Well, there are plenty of those atop The Post’s first 25-player Big Board for 2022, with rankings based on watching games and conversations with NFL scouts and college coaches:
1. Aidan Hutchinson, Edge, Michigan
After registering 10 tackles for loss as a sophomore, Hutchinson returned from playing just two games in his third year with a breakout 14-sack season. He’s the early favorite to be just the fifth pass-rusher this century to be drafted No. 1. The runner-up for the Heisman Trophy packages power, speed and hustle.
