2022 NFL Draft Derek Stingley Jr. Draft Position Odds
| Draft Position | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 | -105 | 51.22% |
| Under 10.5 | -125 | 55.56% |
Derek Stingley Jr. is given an implied chance of 55.56% to go in the top 10. It's easy to see why NFL General Manager's around the league would fall in love with a guy like Stingley. He's six-foot-one 195 pounds with great speed, a great vertical, and good ball skills. Heck in 2019, as a true Freshman, Stingley was downright dominant in the SEC. That's impressive stuff.
The issue for him isn't the measurables or the skills that we see when he's on the field. The issues come with injuries. He's played just 10 games in the last two years and is in the process of recovering from a Lisfranc injury. That's something that can linger unfortunately and we've seen it derail careers before, essentially ending Santonio Holmes' career at 29 years old.

The question is will someone be willing to take that gamble in the top-10. On paper, teams like the Jets, Giants, and Seahawks could all use help at the position with picks in the top-10. I'd imagine that Sauce Gardner is the first corner to come off the board in the top-10 but will we see two get drafted that early?
My gut says no. The sweet spot for Stingley feels right outside the top-10 with Washington, Minnesota, and Baltimore all having picks between 11-14. It's not impossible to see him go earlier than that but value-wise, I think I'd be willing to take the risk that he falls.
