Contents
The answer to who has the most picks in the NFL Draft may surprise you. We take a look at the top contenders and make our prediction.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With the Super Bowl now in the rearview mirror, all eyes in the NFL turn to the 2022 draft. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently have the most picks in the draft, with seven. They also have two first-round picks, thanks to the trade that sent defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul to the Arizona Cardinals.
They have the most draft capital
The Buccaneers currently have the most draft capital in the NFL for the 2022 draft. They have five picks in the first two rounds, including three in the first round.
The Buccaneers also have an extra sixth-round pick from the San Francisco 49ers as part of the Jimmy Garoppolo trade. They also have an extra seventh-round pick from the Pittsburgh Steelers as part of the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade.
They have the most needs
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently have the most needs heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. They do not have a lot of talent on their roster and they need to find players that can help them win now and in the future. The Buccaneers have needs at almost every position on their roster, but their biggest needs are on the offensive and defensive lines. They also need help at running back, tight end, and wide receiver.
The Jacksonville Jaguars
They have the second most draft capital
As of right now, the Jaguars have the second most draft capital in the NFL. They have nine picks in the first two rounds, including three first-round picks. That’s a lot of draft capital to work with, and it gives them a lot of options.
They could use some of that draft capital to trade up for a quarterback, if they feel like one is worth it. They could also use it to add more talent on defense, which is something they desperately need. Or they could just use it to add more depth and young talent across the board.
No matter what they do with their draft capital, it’s clear that the Jaguars are in a good position to improve their team in the coming years. They have a lot of picks, and they have a chance to add some impact players with those picks. We’ll see what they do with them, but there’s no doubt that they have a lot of options.
They have the second most needs
The Jacksonville Jaguars have the second most needs heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. They are in dire need of an upgrade at the quarterback position, and they also need to add some help on the offensive line and in the secondary. The Jaguars have seven picks in the first two rounds of the draft, so they will have a chance to address all of their needs.
The New York Jets
The New York Jets have the most picks in the 2022 NFL Draft with eleven selections. The Jets currently have one pick in each of the first six rounds, and three seventh-round selections. New York acquired an additional second-round pick from the Seattle Seahawks in the Jamal Adams trade, and a fifth-round pick from the Los Angeles Rams in the Marcus Peters trade.
They have the third most draft capital
The New York Jets currently have the third most draft capital in the NFL heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. They hold 12 picks, including six in the first three rounds.
The Jets have been one of the worst teams in the NFL over the past few seasons and they’ve amassed a ton of draft capital as a result. They hold all of their own picks, plus an additional second-round pick from the San Francisco 49ers (via the Sam Darnold trade), and a third-round pick from the Seattle Seahawks (via the Jamal Adams trade).
The Jets are in prime position to turn their franchise around with a strong showing in the 2022 NFL Draft. With 12 picks, they have the opportunity to add a number of impact players who can help them compete for a playoff spot as early as next season.
They have the third most needs
The Jets have the third-most needs, behind the Jaguars and Texans. They have nine total picks, including two in the first round, and they could use help at almost every position on the field.
The biggest need for the Jets is at quarterback, where they don’t have a long-term answer. They also need help on the offensive line, in the secondary and at outside linebacker.
