The 2022 NFL Draft was an absolute mess. There were a lot of really amazing players, but the first round was full of busts, with teams totally mis-evaluating players in the process. This was a class that led to Kenny Pickett being take in the first round, it allowed the Ravens to get two Pro Bowlers in Kyle Hamilton and Tyler Linderbaum, and there were a total of 15 players selected in the first round who are either no longer with the team that picked them or out of the league.

This means there is plenty of wiggle room for course correction. Today we’re re-drafting the first round taking into consideration both the positions teams already picked, what they needed at the time, and who we now know became top NFL talents. Obviously this isn’t a perfect process, because a variety of trades occurred in the first round that are too difficult to fully undo — so we’re moving forward with the final draft order as it occurred in 2022.
