The 2022 NFL Draft cla s for quarterbacks has changed plenty during the 2021 college football season. Once-prized potential first-rounders Spencer Rattler (Oklahoma) and Kedon Slovis (USC) have struggled to push their stock down, to the point both are returning to school and going through the transfer portal. That opened the door for two QBs to emerge as the new 1-2 for '22.Liberty's Malik Willis and Ole Mi s' Matt Corral have had impre sive seasons vs. different levels of competition. Luckily for NFL observers and fans hopeful their teams willland a strong franchise QB next year, both Willis and Corral will get their final college showcases in bowl games.There's a long way to go in the pre-draft proce s with all-star games, the scouting combine and pro Mfiondu Kabengele Jersey days ahead before teams go on the clock next April 28 in Las Vegas. But having an early chance to compare the rising top two QB prospects is fun.Between the skill sets Willis and Corral have shown so far, who should be the first to go off th board? Here areSporting News' updated 2022 QB draft rankings as college football's top quarterbacks look to distinguish themselves in the finalstages of the season.NFL MOCK DRAFT 2022:1. Matt Corral, Ole Mi s (6-0, 220 pounds)There's really not much separating Willis and Corral when you look at their playing styles as dual threats. Corral is a little shorter and thinner. He also is a great athletic and is willing to be aggre sive with his arm, ideal for the downfield-throwing NFL trend. He has been helped a lot by the strong offensive mind of coach Lane Kiffin. Corral has a chance to displace Willims with a stellar contrasting performance. Both are top-10 picks.2. Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh (6-3, 220 pounds)Pickett (6-3, 220 pounds) has gotten a lot of attention for the Panthers' fine offensive season in the ACC. Danilo Gallinari Jersey He's the top traditional pocket-pa sing prospect in the cla s with hisdeep ball-accuracy, smarts and maturity. He made the right decision not to rush into the NFL in 2021, because he has continued to grow all-around and show more impact leadership.3. Malik Willis, Liberty (6-1, 215 pounds)Willis (6-4, 224 pounds), who went No. 3 overall to the 49ers as Amir Coffey Jersey a fast-rising prospect out of North Dakota State this April. He doesn't have the same prototypical size, but Willis matches the cannon arm with terrific athleticism. He hangs tough and just has a knack to make plays. He's also not the typical small-school QB, given his SEC ties, having transferred from Auburn and playing for former Ole Mi s coach Hugh Freeze. He has a big chance in get more into the spotlight against Freeze's former program.4. Sam Howell, North Carolina (6-1, 220 pounds)Howell was everyone's favorite top quarterback in college football with big-time NFL buzz until he came out struggling with mental and physical mistakes for the Tar Heels. Some of it is tied to having a dwindled supporting cast, but Howell has fought through the adversity both in and out of the pocket to show his a sets tied to smarts, accuracy and relentle sne s.5. Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati (6-4, 215 pounds)Ridder stands out with his loose arm and natural running ability, too. Although he's not quiet as dynamic in those areas as Willis and Corral, his big appeal is the mental and physical toughne s. He's also got the intangible of winning leadership and plenty of experience.6. Carson Strong, Nevada (6-4, 215 pounds)Strong is the same size as Ridder and has done many simliar things well as the leader of the Wolf Pack. HIs last name is apt for how he can make all the throws with his arm, and he's still learning to better use his athleticism. He's Malik Fitts Jersey kind of ahybrid of what Josh Allen and Justin Herbert do well.7. Tanner McKee, Stanford (6-6, 228 pounds)McKee has an outstanding big and strong frame and he hasput together some NFL pleasing pa sing skills with it breaking out for the Cardinals. McKee has the arm to deliver the ball anywhere and recognizespre sure well to be accurate and efficient. He doesn't have the biggest arm in relation to some of the prospects above, but he tends to put the right touch on his throws.8. Bailey Zappe, Western Kentucky(6-1, Daniel Oturu Jersey 220 pounds)Zappe has had a prolific first season bumping up to FBS with great accuracy, smarts and toughne s in a "Air Raid" style high-volume pa sing game. He is right there in the record books with Joe Burrow, another transfer QB who went No. 1 overall in the 2020 draft. That's getting him some initial interest as either a third- or fourth-round pick with upside.
