Rams Win Super Bowl LVI and will select last in each round

Jaguars Lions, Texans, Jets & Giants Hold Current Top 5 Selections
Eagles Hold Three #1 Selections,
Giants & Jets Hold Two #1 Draft Choices

The Jacksonville Jaguars are ‘On the Clock’ with the first overall selection for the NFL Draft 2022. They earned the top overall draft choice again currently off a horrible 3-14 record. Rookie head coach Urban Meyer was fired in early December. Their recent overall draft decisions have been weak.

Detroit currently holds the 2nd overall selection off a poor 3-13-1 record with the Texans, Jets and Giants completing the top five selections. There is a logjam with nine clubs between 4-13, 7-10 and 9-8 that will impact the top selections.

Jets (#4 & #10) and Giants (#5 & #7) hold two first round picks each with both top ten selections. The Eagles hold three #1 selections (#15, 16 & 19) with all from the middle of the round back.

A teams’ opponent’s W-L record will determine all tie situations. Teams that are still tied will flip though none necessary this year. Playoff teams will shuffle according to their postseason results to determine the final top 32 selections.

NFL teams look to both the veteran Free Agency period and the NFL Draft 2022 to improve their rosters. The salary cap went up significantly after a year with a reduced cap per team. It will dictate the movement of many veteran players this offseason and have an impact among the premier draft selections.

Rams win Super Bowl LVI and will draft last in each round. They traded their first three selections in deals for veterans who helped them win the Super Bowl. They will receive a #3 compensatory selection beyond #96.
