This may be smokescreen season but it's also draft fatigue season for some (still really good) prospects, says jfmckessy, and two OTs are the latest victims. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
Draft fatigue is a funny phenomenon that tends to happen around this time in the draft cycle. We’re about two and a half weeks away from the 2022 NFL Draft, but ironically, as we get closer and closer to draft night, some of the best players seem to be slipping down boards.
Even so, some media might be eager to jump on the hype train for other players, guys that they haven’t yet grown weary of talking about. Either that or some of the highly touted prospects’ draft stocks decrease with more momentum for a team near the top taking other players. That, in turn, pushes them down draft boards so that they can fill the needs of another team needing someone at the position.
Cross has suffered a similar fate in his draft board projections, especially paired with the rise of another tackle prospect. After a stellar 2021 season on tape, there was an expectation that he would be the number three tackle off the board in the 2022 draft class. He hadn’t quite performed up to the standard of Neal and NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu, but he was still often getting mocked to the Panthers as OT3 with the sixth overall pick.
