NFL 2022 draft order, team needs: Chargers fall out of playoff spot, Browns trending toward top 10 pick

With two weeks remaining in the regular season — and one more game in Week 16 on Monday night between the Dolphins and Saints — the 2022 NFL Draft order is beginning to solidify. 

Below, we’ll take a look at the entire draft order in Round 1 as it stands through Sunday’s Week 16 games, in addition to team needs and notable free agents. For a look at which players are likely to go where, Ryan Wilson, Chris Trapasso and I produce mock drafts for CBSSports.com. In the latest from the three of us, Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux are taken with the top two picks.
