The 2022 NFL draft kicks off in just two weeks, and there’s still no clear-cut consensus on how things will shake out at the top.
There’s still plenty of discussion about who will be the No. 1 pick, and while the top overall prospects expected to come off the board in the top 10 have inspired some widespread agreement, the order in which those names will be called is still anybody’s guess.
