Top 10 NFL Teams Most Likely to Get a Top Five Pick in the 2022 NFL Draft

This is pretty obvious. They literally only had 5 picks in the draft since they traded away a bunch of their picks. The defense is still terrible, and Watson isn't gone, but he's not happy. And in free agency, they didn't do much. They got Phillip Lindsay and a washed-up Mark Ingram II. Probably the number one contender for the first pick of the draft.

The Eagles are tanking this year, no doubt. They fired their head coach and traded away Carson Wentz and will be starting a young QB, Jalen Hurts, who I think isn't that bad. But the Eagles will be fighting for the 1st pick along with the Houston Texans.

Ok, this was one of the best teams this season by "Lions standards," wrapping up the season with a win over Green Bay and finishing the season 9-8. They have the opportunity to be a playoff team next season, so Lions fans have a lot to hopefully look forward to for four reasons.

1. Amon Ra St. Brown was a beast this season and won the best catch over Stefon Diggs, a world-class receiver.

2. Jared Goff was decent this season, and I believe he will increase his potential and playing ability.

3. If they take some good picks on defense, they can have a mid-range option to rely on and not have their offense carry everyone.

4. The division is slowly relaxing, and the Packers and Bears are looking weak.

From the very start, I knew this team wasn't going to do well. Choosing a WR over a star offensive lineman with your 5th pick? I don't really care that Chase is Burrow's former teammate. Cincinnati was fine on WRs. They had Boyd and Higgins. They didn't need another WR. They needed someone to protect Burrow.

Remember what happened in the Washington game? You don't want that to happen again. It's gonna be a rough season for Burrow. And I'm not loving the coach, Zac Taylor. He's not leading Cincinnati anywhere in his past two years, and the Bengals are 6-25-1 with him.

They did get some players for the offensive line in the draft, but they don't compare to Sewell, do they? I'm probably hating on the Bengals way too much since I am a Browns fan, but they aren't gonna do well. Other than the offensive line, the coach is still a problem and the defense isn't so great either.

Like the Jets, the Jaguars got their new franchise QB, but also like the Jets, this is still a building year. They got some building blocks to work around in the draft. For some reason, they got another RB in the draft, and the defense is still being worked on.

Honestly, they should really just tank this year to get a great pick in the next draft, because I think we all know they aren't going to be playoff contenders for a few years, since the defense downgraded a lot. But there is hope for Jacksonville because, like I said, they got Lawrence and others to help in the future.

Plus, Jacksonville's schedule is very tough. They will be playing the NFC West, which is the toughest division in the NFL, with Seattle, LA, Arizona, and San Francisco. They are in the AFC South with the Titans and the Colts, which will be tough opponents. Outside of that, they play other great teams like the Bills, Patriots, Dolphins, and maybe the Bengals. The 17th added game against the Falcons can also be tough since they have a great offense.

Fans down in Duuuval shouldn't expect much but to only hope Lawrence has a great season.

The Jets just got their new franchise QB, Zach Wilson, who hopefully won't be a bust. But this is still a building year. They still have some pieces missing, and there are many games that I just don't see them winning.

They are in a division with the Bills, Dolphins, and a Patriots team that has improved and made big moves in the offseason. You also have other teams that have improved, like the Titans getting Bud Dupree and Julio Jones, the Jaguars with Lawrence and that RB duo Robinson and Etienne, and including a new WR Marvin Jones. And also the Falcons. I know they got rid of Julio, but hey, Calvin Ridley is still there, and they added RB Mike Davis and the stud tight end Kyle Pitts.

I can see them only getting around 4-6 wins, but this year just isn't the year.

Trading away Rodney Hudson and Trent Brown was a horrible idea, and that overreach for Alex Leatherwood was just as bad. Talking about the draft, the only pick that I liked was getting Moehrig to help that horrible secondary. I feel bad for Derek, really. The offensive line isn't going to be good at all, and Leatherwood was just such a bad pick. The Raiders will most likely get a top 10 pick at least.

The Falcons are coming off a pretty miserable season of them choking a few times, and I think it's going to continue for a while. But I do like Atlanta's offense. Even though they got rid of Julio Jones, they still got plenty of weapons like Ridley and added Mike Davis, and they drafted Kyle Pitts.

They didn't do much in free agency other than getting Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson, which were two good signings, but their defense is still terrible, and they should have focused on it more. They did get some players on defense in the draft like Richie Grant, but most aren't really starter material.

Look, I don't think the Bears are a terrible team, but I just don't like the schedule they have. They have the 3rd hardest schedule and they are in the NFC North with the Packers and Vikings, which are both playoff contenders. They can maybe split with the Vikings, but outside their division, they got opponents like the 49ers, Browns, Buccaneers, Ravens, Cardinals, and other playoff-contending teams, which I can't see them winning against.
