The Jacksonville Jaguars will look to be the next bottom-of-the-barrel team to flip the script in 2022. After escaping Urban Alcatraz Island, the Jags will look to improve and reap benefits from many rising players. With that said I’m going to go to untwine a few profiles that will break out in 2022.

Chad Muma

The Jaguars will not only really reap benefits from Travon Walker, but the Jaguars should see quality production from Chad Muma in his first season. Per Jaguars Wire, the Jaguars feel like they have a special player in Muma. He is a strong candidate to play the Money Backer role in the Jags defense, as Mike Caldwell (disciple of Todd Bowles) wants to implement the safety/linebacker position. Muma was a two-time captain at Wyoming and he feels like he can learn the system quickly and have a strong chance to start at the money backer on Day 1.

Travis Etienne

The Jags second-year RB Travis Etienne was MIA in his rookie season, but he will look to be a key component in the new-look Jags offense moving forward. Per Big Cat Country, Etienne is cleared for practice activity and the team hopes he is floating around 100%. I expect Etienne to help handle the load for the injured James Robinson and be a fine security blanket for T-Lawrence in 2022.

Evan Engram

I love Evan Engram’s outlook with the Jags offense. It’s clear that has garnered respect as an athletic freak, but he hasn’t quite recorded a strong season (such has 723+ yards or 7+ touchdowns in a season). I trust the Jags offense with Doug Pedersen and a likely improved Trevor Lawrence to help him excel in excellent situations. Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com believes that Engram could be the best value signing of this off-season for the Jags offense.

The Miami Dolphins have new swag and creativity in Mike McDaniels in 2022. Nonetheless, McDaniel has really high expectations, as he’s tasked with improving Tua Tagovailoa and a team that won seven 7 in their last 8 games to finish with a 9-8 record in 2021.

McDaniel will have the ammunition (most cap space in NFL) to build the team. It will be exciting and intense to see what the Dolphins decide to do in free agency. Still, the pivotal 2022 NFL draft will be vital for the Dolphins in their new direction. The draft is where teams create their future and potentially hope to find profiles that can help them win ball games immdetately.

So, who could the Dolphins pick in the 2022 NFL Draft? Well, it’s time for a Dolphins three-round mock draft in early March.

29th overall: Skyy Moore – WR – Western Michigan

McDaniel knows he won’t find the “next Deebo Samuel” by looking for Deebo Samuel 2.0. With that said, the utterly explosive Skyy Moore can still be his own beast and he’s rightfully climbing up draft boards. Daniel Jeremiah doesn’t believe he will be availabe beyond round two and some teams could target him early in round two.

Moore officially clocked a 4.41 40 time and he can absolutely fly. McDaniel will be dreaming of the potential of Moore due to his explosion and consitency. Moore can replace Will Fuller with ease and be a fine complement to Waddle for eyars to come.

50th overall: Chad Muma – LB – Wyoming

The versatile Chad Muma had a modest combine, but his instincts and motor can’t be calulcated by the combine and the sleepless nights that come with it. He had positive production and impressive intelligence, which are somehow undervalued traits at the LB position. Muma recorded three interceptions, 85 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two defensive touchdowns in 2021. I’d also like to see the Dolphins and McDaniel go offense in round one and defense in round two. He’s been favored as a late round two pick or an early third round pick, as well.

98th overall: Breece Hall – RB – Iowa State

The secret is out: the Dolphins will look to add a RB outside of round one in the 2022 NFL Draft. Breece Hall has been linked to the Dolphins by “With The First Pick”, as well. The Iowa State RB didn’t only just clock a 4.4 40 yard dash, but he has 3,000+ rushing yards and 41 rushing touchdowns in the past two seasons combined. He would be a better pure runner than the quality pass-catching RB Duke Johnson to say the least.

Hall and Moore would be two amazing additions to the Dolphins offense and McDaniel would be quick to grab an espresso and scheme up plays for his new-look offense. The Dolphins should feel a lot more comfortable playing the Bills number one ranked defense and Belichick’s diverse scheme twice a season after the 2022 NFL draft has eclipsed.
