The 2022 NFL Draft begins Thursday night in Las Vegas with all 32 first round picks.
The intrigue entering this draft is higher than usual because there's so much uncertainty. The quarterback class is pretty weak, at least compared to recent years, and there is no clear cut, slam dunk No. 1 overall prospect.

The Jacksonville Jaguars own the No. 1 pick for the second consecutive year. They picked Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence in that spot in 2021. He had an up-and-down rookie season but still projects to be an excellent player long term.
Another interesting aspect of this draft is the amount of teams with multiple picks in Round 1. There are eight of these teams, including the New York Jets (No. 4 and No. 10) and the New York Giants (No. 5 and No. 7).
