First 18 Spots Set For 2022 NFL Draft; Jags Picking First—Again

The 2021 NFL regular season has come and gone, and, now that the dust has settled on the regular season, the first 18 picks of the 2022 NFL Draft order have been finalized. The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-14) will once again choose first. They took quarterback Trevor Lawrence first last year.

The Detroit Lions (3-13-1) will pick second, while both New York teams each have a pair of top-10 picks. The Philadelphia Eagles have three first-round picks, but the first doesn’t come around until pick 15. Only the top 18 picks are locked in due to the playoffs not being underway.
