NFL 2022 draft order, team needs: Giants, Jets combine to have four straight picks in the top seven

Much of the 2022 NFL Draft order is in flux, but the top of the draft order is beginning to stabilize a bit. Nearly half the league has a record between 5-7 and 7-5 so the order could significantly flip week to week. Philadelphia’s first-round picks slid after Sunday’s action and the Lions got their first win of the season. 

But first, each week, Ryan Wilson, Chris Trapasso and I produce mock drafts for CBSSports.com. In Wilson’s latest, he has the Texans taking a quarterback at No. 3 overall. Trapasso has Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett climbing into the top 10. For a more extensive draft discussion beyond the mock drafts, check out our weekly show every Tuesday on YouTube!
