NFL 2022 draft order, team needs: Every first-round pick post-Deshaun Watson, Davante Adams blockbusters

NFL free agency officially began March 16 and several teams have already begun to address needs. Decisions made in March will ultimately impact what teams do in April’s draft. With that in mind, CBSSports.com looks at the current 2022 NFL Draft order post-Russell Wilson trade and the needs of teams across the league.

Below, we’ll take a look at the entire draft order in Round 1 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.
