What is the NFL Draft?
The Draft is the league’s recruiting process, where teams select eligible players coming from NCAA college football.
The current format consists of seven rounds, 262 players in total over three days by 2022. Positions are determined in reverse record order: worst first, champion last. Some additional picks are awarded for players lost in free agency two seasons ago. Parity is what prevails in the NFL.
Players must have been in the NCAA for at least three years to be eligible. They may have only played two (some, due to injury, development or academic issues, do not play a campaign; or in current times, due to the pandemic), but they have to having passed three years of his high school graduation.
In recent years, the Draft has been the key to change the destiny of the teams and make contenders, since since 2011, contracts for rookies are limited, reason why franchises get to have stars for four years at much lower price than high-caliber veteran players.
Who are the best prospects for next season?
The best prospects are on the line of scrimmage. On the offensive side, the tackles Evan Neal of Alabama and Ikem Ekwonu from North Carolina State are top rated. Tyler Linderbaumcenter from Iowa, is one of the best prospects at his position in years, but it’s not a position that is valued that highly (since 2011, neither has been picked before the 18th pick in the first round).
On defense, the names to watch are Aidan HutchinsonKayvon Thibodeaux of Oregon and Travon Walkerfrom Georgia, who is the favorite to be #1.
The secondary defense also has players with top 10 options, like safety Kyle Hamilton of Notre Dame and the corners Sauce Gardner from cincinnati y Derek Stingley Jr. from LSU. One of the positions that might have more players in the first round is receivers. Jameson Williams (Alabama), Chris Olave y Garrett Wilson (Ohio State), Drake London (USC), Jahan Dotson (Penn State) y Treylon Burks (Arkansas) will be selected in the first round.
We haven’t talked regarding the quarterbacks. Desmond Ridder of Cincinnati, Kenny Pickett de Pittsburgh, Malik Willis of Liberty, Sam Howell of North Carolina and Matt Corral Ole Miss are eyed for the first or second round, but none are valued better than the five chosen in 2021 (Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields and Mac Jones).
What is the order of the first round of selections and how many are there in total?
262 players They will be chosen in the 2022 Draft during the seven rounds of the event, although what causes the most interest among fans is the first round, where the talents that can change the course of history for the teams are usually found.
