Updated 2022 NFL Draft Order

Have you been waiting all day for Tuesday night? Thanks to COVID rescheduling, we still have two games to go in Week 15. While the Eagles, Rams, and the Washington Football Team are all jockeying for postseason berths/positioning, the Seahawks are — for all intents and purposes — out of playoff contention.

If the season ended today, the Seahawks would own a top ten pick…that is, if they owned it. The Jets, who hold the Seahawks’ 2022 first-round pick by way of the Jamal Adams trade, will be cheering for the Rams tonight.

For non-playoff teams, the draft order will be determined by the inverted 2021 standings, plus a series of tiebreakers, starting with strength of schedule. For playoff teams, the order is determined by their postseason outcome and regular season record.

Before the games begin, here’s a look at the currently projected 2022 NFL Draft Order:

  1. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-12)
  2. Detroit Lions (2-11-1)
  3. Houston Texans (3-11)
  4. New York Jets (3-11)
  5. New York Giants (via Bears)
  6. New York Giants (4-10)
  7. Carolina Panthers (5-9)
  8. New York Jets (via Seahawks)
  9. Atlanta Falcons (6-8)
  10. Philadelphia Eagles (6-7)
  11. Washington Football Team (6-7)
  12. Philadelphia Eagles (via Dolphins)
  13. Denver Broncos (7-7)
  14. New Orleans Saints (7-7)
  15. Cleveland Browns (7-7)
  16. Las Vegas Raiders (7-7)
  17. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6-1)
  18. Baltimore Ravens (8-6)
  19. Minnesota Vikings (7-7)*
  20. Buffalo Bills (8-6)*
  21. Miami Dolphins (via 49ers)*
  22. Los Angeles Chargers (8-6)*
  23. Philadelphia Eagles (via Colts)*
  24. Detroit Lions (via Rams)*
  25. Cincinnati Bengals (8-6)*
  26. Tennessee Titans (9-5)*
  27. Arizona Cardinals (10-4)*

  29. New England Patriots (9-5)*

Latest On Ravens QB Lamar Jackson

Dec. 19: Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jackson is dealing with a bone bruise in his ankle and not an ankle sprain. Schefter adds that while it might still be difficult for Jackson to suit up for today’s key matchup with Green Bay, the 2019 MVP was at least moving better in practice this weekend and has an outside shot at playing (Twitter links).

Dec. 16: Lamar Jackson didn’t practice again today (per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic on Twitter), and his status isn’t looking good for Sunday’s game against the Packers. Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network (on Twitter), it’s “looking like an uphill battle” for the QB to play this weekend.

Jackson exited last Sunday’s loss to the Browns after only 10 offensive snaps, completing all four of his passes. We later learned that the former MVP avoided a high ankle sprain and could possibly play this weekend. However, the QB hasn’t practiced all week, and Garafolo notes that the Ravens were hoping that Thursday would be the day that Jackson could start preparing for Green Bay. The 24-year-old obviously did not practice, putting his status in serious doubt.

“The plans are right now, in my mind, for Lamar to be out there,” head coach John Harbaugh said earlier this week. “So we’ll see where it goes this week. If he can go, he’ll go. If not, Tyler [Huntley] will be the quarterback. That’s where we’re at.”

Fortunately, assuming Jackson is out this weekend, he should be back sooner than later. Still, an absence for Jackson couldn’t come at a worse time as the Ravens battle for playoff positioning in the AFC. In 12 starts this season, the QB has completed 64.4 percent of his passes for 2,882 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He’s also added 767 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
