The NFL Draft order is locked and ready to roll ahead of the 2022 event, which will beam live from Las Vegas this week.

The 87th NFL Draft will see all 32 professional teams convene in their war rooms to pick the finest graduates from the college football system. A grand total of 262 athletes will be selected for the big time over a gruelling three-day schedule.

The NFL Draft order is determined based on how a team performs in the previous year. The team with the worst win-loss ratio is handed the first overall pick, and the Super Bowl champions are given the last pick.

This process continues for seven rounds across three days until each teams boasts seven shiny new players each. Simple, right? Well, not exactly.

During the season, NFL teams can trade their place in the draft order for other teams’ picks and players. For example, in 2021, Team A could have sent their first round draft pick to Team B in exchange for a fourth round pick and a player.

That means the draft order is messed up and will continue to be tinkered with on the night as teams wheel and deal to extract maximum value from every pick they have been afforded.

RadioTimes.com brings you the full NFL Draft order ahead of the 2022 event prior to the inevitable trading chaos of Draft night.
