The 2022 NFL Draft will be the 87th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is expected to be held in Paradise, Nevada on April 28–30, 2022.

Host city[edit]

The venue for 2022 was not announced alongside that of 2021 (Cleveland, Ohio) and 2023 (Kansas City, Missouri) in May 2019.[1]

The league awarded the 2022 draft to Las Vegas on April 23, 2020, as a make-up for the 2020 NFL Draft, which was originally scheduled to be held in that city before the coronavirus pandemic forced all team selections to take place via video conferencing.[2]

Trades[edit]

In the explanations below, (PD) indicates trades completed prior to the start of the draft (i.e. Pre-Draft), while (D) denotes trades that took place during the 2022 draft.

Round 1[edit]

  • Chicago → N.Y. Giants (PD). Chicago traded 2022 first and fourth-round selections as well as 2021 first and fourth-round selections (20th and 164th overall) to the New York Giants in exchange for a 2021 first-round selection (11th overall).[trade 1]
  • L.A. Rams → Detroit (PD). The Los Angeles Rams traded their first-round selection as well as their 2021 third-round and 2023 first-round selections and quarterback Jared Goff to Detroit in exchange for quarterback Matthew Stafford.[trade 2]
  • Miami → Philadelphia (PD). Miami traded its first-round selection as well as 2021 first and fourth-round selections (12th and 123rd overall) for Philadelphia's 2021 first and fifth-round selections (6th and 156th overall).[trade 3]
  • San Francisco → Miami (PD). San Francisco traded its first and third-round selections as well as 2021 and 2023 first-round selections in exchange for one of Miami's 2021 first-round selections (3rd overall).[trade 4]
  • Seattle → N.Y. Jets (PD). Seattle traded safety Bradley McDougald, a first-round selection, and 2021 first and third-round selections to the New York Jets in exchange for safety Jamal Adams and a fourth-round selection.[trade 5]

  • Indianapolis → Philadelphia (PD). Indianapolis traded a conditional second-round selection and a 2021 third-round selection to Philadelphia in exchange for quarterback Carson Wentz. If Wentz plays 75% of snaps, or if he plays 70% of snaps and the Colts qualify for the playoffs, the traded selection becomes a first-round selection.[trade 7]
  • L.A. Rams → Denver (PD). The Los Angeles Rams traded their second- and third-round selections to Denver in exchange for linebacker Von Miller.[trade 8]
  • Tennessee → Atlanta (PD). Tennessee traded a second-round selection and a 2023 fourth-round selection to Atlanta in exchange for wide receiver Julio Jones and a 2023 sixth-round selection.[trade 9]

Round 3[edit]

  • Arizona → Baltimore (PD). Arizona traded a fourth-round selection and a 2021 fifth-round selection to Baltimore in exchange for 2021 fourth- and sixth-round selections.[trade 13]

  • Houston → Carolina (PD). Houston traded a fourth-round selection as well as 2021 fourth- and fifth-round selections (109th and 158th overall) to Carolina in exchange for a 2021 third-round selection (89th overall).[trade 15]

  • Baltimore → Minnesota (PD). Baltimore traded a conditional fifth-round selection and a 2021 third-round selection to Minnesota in exchange for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. The fifth-round pick would have become a 2022 fourth-round pick if Ngakoue was selected on the first ballot to the 2021 Pro Bowl (not as an alternate). This did not happen, so the pick remained in the fifth round.[trade 21]
  • Detroit → Denver (PD). Detroit traded fifth- and seventh-round selections to Denver in exchange for wide receiver Trinity Benson and a 2023 sixth-round pick.[trade 22]

  • Kansas City → Baltimore → N.Y. Giants. Multiple trades:
  • Minnesota → Jacksonville (PD). Minnesota traded a conditional fifth-round selection and a 2021 second-round selection to Jacksonville in exchange for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. The fifth-round pick would have become a 2022 fourth-round pick if Ngakoue went to the 2021 Pro Bowl. It would have become a 2022 third-round pick if he was a 2021 Pro Bowler and the Vikings won the Super Bowl at the end of the 2020 season. This did not happen, so the pick remained in the fifth round.[trade 25] Fans of several other teams unsuccessfully attempted to vote an undeserving Ngakoue into the Pro Bowl and cause the Vikings to give up the higher pick.[3]
  • New England → Las Vegas (PD). New England traded a fifth-round selection to Las Vegas in exchange for offensive tackle Trent Brown.[trade 26]

  • New England → Miami (PD). New England traded a conditional sixth-round selection to Miami in exchange for wide receiver Isaiah Ford.[trade 37]
  • N.Y. Jets → Minnesota (PD). See Round 4: Minnesota → N.Y. Jets.[trade 17]
  • N.Y. Jets → Philadelphia (PD). The Jets traded a conditional sixth-round selection to Philadelphia in exchange for quarterback Joe Flacco. This pick could rise to the fifth round based on Joe Flacco's playing time.[trade 38]

Round 7[edit]

Forfeited picks[edit]

  • The New Orleans Saints forfeited their sixth-round selection as a penalty for repeated violations of the league's COVID-19 guidelines.[4]

2020 Resolution JC-2A picks[edit]

In November 2020, the NFL passed 2020 Resolution JC-2A, which rewards teams for developing minority candidates for head coach and/or general manager positions.[5] The resolution rewards teams whose minority candidates are hired away for one of those positions by awarding draft picks. These draft picks are at the end of the third round, after standard compensatory picks; if multiple teams qualify, they are awarded by draft order in the first round. These picks are in addition to, and have no impact on, the standard 32 compensatory picks.[6]
