2022 NFL Offensive Tackle Rankings and Tiers (TIER 6: YOUNG TACKLES TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION - 19. Penei Sewell, Detroit Lions:  Sewell didn’t have the smoothest rookie season imaginable. He started the preseason at right tackle — a positional change from his time spent on the left side at Oregon — before kicking back to fill in at left tackle for an injured Taylor Decker to start the year. Then, once Decker returned, Sewell started the final eight weeks of the season back at right tackle. He impressed there, ending the year with an 81.4 PFF grade at right tackle that ranked fifth among qualifiers at the position.  Sewell is still just 21 years old, and another offseason with some positional continuity should only help him rise up these rankings as he enters his second season.  TIER 7: GOOD STARTERS - 22. Taylor Decker, Detroit Lions:  You don’t want to make a habit of asking top-10 draft picks to change positions once they get to the NFL, but the Lions made that decision with Penei Sewell because of Decker’s track record at left tackle since the Lions drafted him in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Decker has earned PFF grades above 75.0 in four of his six NFL seasons, including each of the last three years.   Decker may not be in the Pro Bowl conversation every year, but he is an important part of Detroit’s efforts to rebuild their roster through the trenches.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2022-offensive-tackle-rankings-tiers

Three-year NFL draft position rankings (RB - 4. D'Andre Swift, WR - 5. Jameson Williams, OT -1. Penei Sewell, DT - 9.Alim McNeil, DE - 2. Aidan Hutchinson, CB - 3. Jeff Okudah):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-three-year-nfl-draft-position-rankings-2022

Ross: 10 rookies set up for success in 2022 & beyond (6. DE Aidan Hutchinson Drafted: Round 1, No. 2 overall - Hutchinson's transition should be nearly seamless as he stays in Michigan. Coming into the league with a polished skill set and immense talent, this Wolverines product is poised to wreak havoc for a Lions defensive front that desperately needed more juice. From Day 1, he'll step in as the best player on the defense, feeding off the energy Dan Campbell exudes and immediately raising the level of everyone around him.  This was a best-case scenario for Detroit -- and it will be for Hutchinson, too. The proof will be apparent early on and could result in Defensive Rookie of the Year honors come February.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/ten-nfl-rookies-in-the-best-situations-to-succeed-in-2022-and-beyond
