2022 NFL Draft – Round 1 Recap
The Jaguars had the first overall pick for the second year in a row. After selecting their quarterback of the future, Trevor Lawrence, first overall in 2021, Jacksonville went for a defensive end in 2022, taking Travon Walker (Georgia). Defense dominated the top picks, with Michigan DE Aidan Hutchinson going to Detroit second overall, CB Derek Stingley Jr. (LSU) heading to Houston with the third pick, the Jets taking CB Ahmad Gardner (Cincinnati) 4th and the Giants selecting Oregon DE Kayvon Thibodeaux in the fifth spot.
Two offensive tackles were up next, with the Panthers taken NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu at number six and the Giants taking Alabama’s Evan Neal seventh.
Drake London (USC) was the first wide receiver taken, at eighth overall to the Falcons, marking the start of a big night for the position group. 2022 was the first time in the history of the common draft that six wide receivers went in the top 20. Night one also saw a wild number of trades, with the Ravens sending Marquise Brown to the Cardinals, where he’ll reunite with Kyler Murray, and the Titans trading A.J. Brown to the Eagles.

With the final pick of round 1, the Vikings selected safety Lewis Cine, a national champion at Georgia.
Who has the first pick of round two of the 2022 NFL Draft?
