Only a few weeks remain in the 2021 NFL regular season, and we’ve got a tight race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
Week 15 saw a new team take over the top spot, as the Jacksonville Jaguars leapfrogged over the Detroit Lions, following the Lions’ shocking blowout win against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Houston Texans and New York Jets are still within striking distance of this year’s top draft selection, though, and anything can change over the final three games of the season.
If the 2022 draft took place after Week 15 results, here’s what the first-round order would look like (via Tankathon):
