2022 NFL Draft: Ideal top two picks for all 32 NFL teams

2022 NFL Draft: Ideal top two picks for every team in NFC & AFC..






Every NFL team is lining up its boards, thinking through every scenario and dreaming of how things would best play out in the 2022 NFL Draft.

In this exercise, NFL Experts make those dreams come true by distributing the draft's top prospects among all 32 teams, giving them ideal picks for each of their first two selections, with the goal of meeting a crucial need and representing good value at that point in the draft.



There are two things to keep in mind while reading this article.


  • 1 - I kept some semblance of realism in this process, not projecting probable top-10 players into the late first round just because a team would love to have that player.
  • 2 - assigning all players just once -- that is, none are repeated -- means some will be listed at draft slots that are later than their talent portends (this is exactly why trades occur).
