Three-round 2022 NFL mock draft: Who goes first overall?

The hare got the best of the tortoise in Super Bowl LVI. Ironically, it was in come-from-behind fashion.

The Los Angeles Rams, starring as the rascally rabbit, defeated the slow-and-deliberate Cincinnati Bengals in a fascinating case study between completely opposite approaches to team-building.

The champion Rams haven't made a first round pick since trading up for quarterback Jared Goff in 2016. They turned "we're all-in" into a mantra by executing blockbuster trades for Jalen Ramsey, Matthew Stafford, Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr. since 2019, and won't have a selection in April's draft until a likely compensatory pick at the end of the third round.

The Bengals' success has been centered around landing two of the best players in the last two drafts, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, while developing their homegrown talent and sprinkling in some solid free agent acquisitions along the way.

Clearly, both approaches worked — although I imagine the Bengals are a bit ahead of schedule — but it's all about execution.

It's now time for the other 30 teams to play catch-up and execute their plans.
