NFL free agency officially began March 16 and several teams have already begun to address needs. Decisions made in March will ultimately impact what teams do in April's draft. With that in mind, CBSSports.com looks at the current 2022 NFL Draft order after all of the latest trades.
Below, we'll take a look at the entire draft order in Round 1 in addition to team needs and notable free agents. For a look at which players are likely to go where, Ryan Wilson, Chris Trapasso and I produce mock drafts for CBSSports.com. For a more extensive draft discussion beyond the mock drafts, check out our weekly show on YouTube!
