The ’22 draft: Wide receivers

JACKSONVILLE – These are heady times for wide receivers in the NFL.

The position seemingly becomes more important by the year – and with yet another strong class at the spot, receiver will be a draft-long storyline.

So, while there may not be a receiver selected in the top five of the 2022 NFL Draft, there likely will be multiple receivers selected soon thereafter – and teams almost certainly will be able to find contributing receivers throughout the first few rounds.

“It’s still really good,” NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks said of the ’22 wide receiver class.

Eleven receivers have been selected in the first round over the past two drafts, with three selected in the Top 10 in 2021 – including Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, the fifth Top 5-selected wide receiver since 2011.
