We're closing in on the 2022 NFL Draft and with it comes
the injection of immense talent and youth to the league.
While this upcoming draft may not have the clear-cut
quarterback prospects at the top like we've seen in the
past with and , the 2022 cla s is widely billed as an
extremely deep group. Naturally, that creates quite a bit
of value as you go down the board.Starting with the No.
32 overall selection, we here at CBS Sports have taken on
the task of finding the best of the best who were ever
selected in what is now known as
Cincinnati Reds
Jersey the first round (first 32 picks). We'll be
covering each spot in the first round all the way until
we reach No. 1 overall just before the draft, which
officially kicks off on Thursday, April 28.As for the No.
32 pick, it is a bit more complex than other selections
that we'll di sect as we go forward. Because there were
not 32 teams in the at certain periods, some of these
selections that you'll read about below weren't even
first-rounders, but would have been had they entered the
league today. How we determined who actually made the cut
was a combination of their impact to the league,
longevity, accolades, and -- more simply -- a gut feel of
whether or not they are worthy of entering this exclusive
cla s.This year, the are slated to pick No. 32 overall
after acquiring the selection in the blockbuster over a
year ago. Our the likes of Ole Mi s quarterback Matt
Corral, Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean, Purdue edge
rusher George Karlaftis, receiver Treylon Burks out of
Arkansas, and Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder as
some of the potential candidates who could be taken at
that spot in their most recent mock drafts. Could one of
those players one day make it onto this list? Of course!
In the meantime, let's see who are the top five No. 32
picks of all time. 2004 : Round 1, No. 32 overall
(Georgia)Team(s): (2004-2009, 2019), (2010-2012), (2013-
2015, 2018), (2016-2017)The Patriots were fresh off their
second title of the era when they decided to give Brady
another pa s-catching weapon in Benjamin Watson. While
the Georgia product didn't play much during his rookie
season, New England didn't mi s a beat, beating the in
Super Bowl XXXIX, which remains the lone championship of
Watson's career. Despite not getting another ring, Watson
proved to be a well-rounded tight end that played an eye-
popping 15 years in the NFL.Not only did Watson display a
tremendous amount of longevity, but he was highly
productive. He currently ranks 18th on the all-time
receiving yards list for the tight end position with
6,058 yards. He's also 14th all time in touchdown
receptions (44) and tied for 13th in receptions (547).
When you account
jersey/eugenio-suarez-jersey">Eugenio Suarez Jersey
for the tight end position not being as popular as it is
today in modern offenses and the league being le s pa s-
happy even dating to the early 2000s, those numbers are
not too shabby at all. On top of his play on the field,
Watson has been a strong amba sador to the game off it
and was reds-jersey/devin-mesoraco-jersey">Devin Mesoraco
Jersey the recipient of the Bart Starr Award back
in 2018, which is an honor bestowed on a player who "best
exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the
home, on the field, and in the community."While Watson's
career likely won't result in a gold jacket, when you put
together the overall body of work that he produced over
his career, any team should be thrilled to get this type
of return at No. 32 overall.2018 NFL Draft: Round 1, No.
32 overall (Louisville)Team(s): Baltimore Ravens (2017-
present) We're, of course, projecting here a bit because
Jackson has only been a starting quarterback for a
handful of seasons. That said, the collection of players
that have been taken at No. 32 overall isn't as pristine
as other spots in the draft over the course of history
and Jackson has already put a number of impre sive marks
on his rsum. During his first full season as the Ravens
starter in 2019, Jackson took the league by storm. He won
league MVP honors while also breaking the single-season
rushing record by a quarterback that was previously held
by Michael Vick with 1,206 yards on the ground. Jackson
is also the first quarterback in NFL history with
multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons after tallying 1,005
yards in 2020. In 2021, Jackson was limited to 12 games
due to injury, but still put up impre sive totals. He
completed 64.4% of his pa ses and had a yards per attempt
average of 7.5, which was the second-highest of his
career.Already, Jackson is seventh on the all-time
rushing yards list for a quarterback with 3,673. Vick
holds the record with 6,109 yards, which he accomplished
over 143 games played. That gave him approximately a 42.7
rushing yards per game average for his career. Jackson is
currently averaging 63.3 yards
jersey/raisel-iglesias-jersey">Raisel Iglesias
Jersey per game and should be well on his way to
becoming the greatest rushing quarterback in league
history (health permitting). While Jackson may ultimately
be remembered for his tremendous ability with his legs,
don't sleep on his arm. During that MVP season, he led
the league in touchdown pa ses (36) and has yet to throw
double-digit interceptions over the course of a
season.Again, this is admittedly a little early to hold
Jackson in such high regard but if he keeps on this
trajectory, he could climb even higher on this list in
short order. 2005 NFL Draft: Round 1, No. 32 (Fresno
State)Team(s): New England Patriots (2005-2013), (2014-
2015)Despite being one of the best players to ever put on
a Patriots uniform during New England's two-decade-long
dynasty, Logan Mankins is one of the few who does not
have a Super Bowl ring to his name. Even with the lack of
a Lombardi on his rsum, Mankins put together a stellar
career after he was taken in the first round out of
Fresno State.He was a seven-time Pro Bowler and received
six All-Pro nods (one first team, five second team).
Mankins is a member of the Patriots' All-2000s and All-
2010s teams along with being a piece of the franchise's
50th Anniversary club. His approximate value of 106 is
tied for eighth in team history. Aside from the legendary
John Hannah, he's the greatest interior lineman in team
history. Mankins was also as durable as they come,
playing at least 15 games in nine of his 11 years in the
league. He also displayed tremendous toughne s after
playing through a torn ACL for the bulk of the 2011
season.While Mankins is an all-time Patriot, he's also
looked at as a general great player in the league, being
named to the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2010s. With
all that reds-jersey/luis-castillo-jersey">Luis Castillo
Jersey in mind, there's no reason to not expect to
see him one day land in Canton, Ohio, as a member of the
Pro Football Hall of Fame, which makes him one of the
greatest No. 32 overall picks ever. 1953 NFL Draft: Round
3, No. 32 (Tulsa)Team(s): (1953-1963)Speaking of Hall of
Famers, let's take a look back at the career of Bob St.
Clair. 'The Geek'
