The 2022 draft is full of top shelf edge rush talent. Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux are fighting to be the top pick of the draft. There are other talents such as George Karlaftis, Travon Walker, David Ojabo, Logan Hall, and Cameron Thomas who could all go in the first round as well. - A position this loaded could allow a very talented player to fall further then they should. Jermaine Johnson II could be that player this time. He showed his talent at Florida State as a redshirt senior. Getting his college start in the junior college (JUCO) ranks, before transferring to Georgia as a rotational player is one reason he could fall below other prospects in the edge rush class, also his Senior Bowl week may have dampened the chances he slides to the Dallas Cowboys at pick No. 24. - The Cowboys definitely have a need at the edge spot. Randy Gregory and Dorance Armstrong are free agents. Even if one or both are re-signed, Demarcus Lawrence is on a big contract that could make him a cap casualty sooner rather than later. Dallas could look to save money one way or another by adding an early edge prospect to be a future starter on the team. Hutchinson and Thibodeaux might be gone too early, but Johnson could be the answer.
