James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The Eagles, who were already a playoff team, are boasting an astonishing three first rounds picks this year as a product of a two smart trades. Philadelphia not only has its own top pick, but Miami’s (which it got through a pre-draft trade in 2021), and Indianapolis’, coming from the deal for Carson Wentz. While none of the picks are in the Top 10, the 2022 class is deep and this could be a defining moment for Philadelphia to find significant upgrades. That could be major for a team that’s already good.
It’s rare to see a team end up with this many first round selections. It last occurred in 2013 when Minnesota ended up with three picks, which resulted in Xavier Rhodes, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Sharrif Floyd all being taken. That draft didn’t land the Vikings a single superstar, with Rhodes and Patterson now on other teams. Floyd had a promising start to his career, but was out of the NFL in 2017 after several injury-plagued seasons. Obviously the Eagles will hope to have better luck.
The other weird element this year is the Jets and Giants having two first rounders each. In total it means that the states of New York and Pennsylvania will have nine picks, representing 28 percent of the entire first round landing in one of two states.
Without further ado, here’s the complete first round order for the 2022 NFL Draft.
