Mel Kiper 2022 NFL Draft Big Board: Kayvon Thibodeaux, Kyle Hamilton Top Rankings

If you're an NFL team looking for a quarterback, the 2022 NFL draft class might not be for you.

ESPN's draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. released his latest big board Tuesday, which does not feature a quarterback in the top 10. Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux remains widely regarded as the best pro prospect in the country.

Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett is now seen as Kiper's top quarterback at No. 15 overall. Matt Corrall of Ole Miss (No. 20 overall) and Desmond Ridder of Cincinnati (No. 25 overall) are also listed in the updated rankings.

Thibodeaux is perhaps the most can't-miss defensive prospect since Myles Garrett in 2017. Ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the country coming out of high school, Thibodeaux has been an instant-impact superstar since arriving at Oregon. He's coming off a nine-tackle, two-sack performance in Saturday's win over UCLA.

One of the biggest movers in Kiper's rankings is London, who ascended to No. 4 and took the top wideout spot away from Penn State's Jahan Dotson. The USC product has already racked up 79 receptions for 1,003 yards, putting up at least 13 yards in six of the Trojans' seven games this season.

Dotson was among the biggest losers in the rankings update, going from No. 8 all the way to No. 16. Penn State's offense has been anemic in losses to Iowa and Illinois, leaving Dotson little chance to make a significant impact. Dotson has been eclipsed by both London and Alabama's Jameson Williams, who has emerged as the Tide's most dynamic downfield playmaker. Williams soared to No. 11 after being outside the top 25 in Kiper's previous rankings.
