NFL 2022 draft order, team needs: Every team’s first-round picks post-Russell Wilson trade, before free agency

The NFL free agency period officially opens March 16 (legal tampering begins on March 14) and serves as the next stage in the offseason team building process. 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 post-Russell Wilson trade and the needs of teams across the league.

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.
