2022 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Derek Stingley Jr. climbs up draft board, Jets trade up to select first wide receiver

The market shifted wildly Monday with Walker now the favorite. I’m actually sort of mad at myself for not moving Hutch out of here earlier. Hutch’s arms don’t meet Trent Baalke’s requirements in terms of length, and he played for Jim Harbaugh in college. No chance Baalke gives Harbs that shine at first overall. There is still a small chance this could still be an OL (Ickey most likely), but I’ll ride with Walker.

The easy move is to put Hutch here, and he may very well be the No. 2 overall pick. But Thibs has massive upside and Brad Holmes was laser locked in on him through this process. The Lions also have intel via his former teammate Penei Sewell. Too much is made of the Michigan stuff and Dan Campbell making the selection of “one of his guys” here.

I’ve been thinking OL here for the Texans for a while now, or maybe even the best available EDGE player. But this is a “bad” draft class and there aren’t many elite players. One guy who might flip that narrative is Sting, who would have been a stone-cold lock at No. 1 this year if the only thing people saw was his 2019 tape. Skills are repeatable, so why wouldn’t the Texans reach for the stars with one of their first-round picks?

Bella

There were some big changes to the draft order following another wild week in the NFL. As we enter Week 13, the draft is drawing nearer, and it’s time to take a look at how things stack up.

But first, each week, Ryan Wilson, Chris Trapasso and I produce mock drafts for CBSSports.com. In Wilson’s latest, he has the Texans, Falcons and Saints taking quarterbacks in the first round. Trapasso has Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett skyrocketing up the board. It was almost a consensus that Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux would be taken No. 1 overall by the Lions.

Wooster High School.

Wooster City Schools Board of Education  

Tuesday, Sept, 28, meeting 

KEY ACTION  The board approved the addition of an eSports team at Wooster High School, discussing many of the possible things it could offer some students.

DISCUSSION  Superintendent Gabe Tudor said the group would involve competitive video gaming, noting there are several colleges and universities, including Ashland University, that have teams.

Several of the board members showed interest and expressed approval of creating a team. One board member said eSports it could reach a group of students “that wouldn’t necessarily participate in other extracurriculars.”

Board Vice President Dan Stavnezer asked if students might be able to letter in it eventually and pointed out students might be able to get scholarships to play on a college or university team. 

Tudor said for a student to letter in something, it must be voted on by the board, but it could happen. He said the costs of the program would be limited to things such as an occasional controller or video game.

The group was approved by a unanimous vote and board President Sue Herman was excited to see the idea stemmed from a student.

“To have to have a student at ground level, making that move is always exciting,” Herman said. “I love it when it’s student based.”

Other discussion: Overnight trips

Several possible overnight trips, including a tournament in Cleveland Oct. 15 and 16, were listed by the high school Speech & Debate Team in a letter to the board asking members to approve the trips.

While the trips were unanimously approved, Herman brought up concerns, such as refunds, if the trips are cancelled or requirements to participate change.

“I don’t want to say, ‘No we’re not going to go on any of these trips,’ but I want us to
