Here is a look at the first-round order for the 2022 NFL draft after the events of Week 16.

The Jacksonville Jaguars moved closer to securing the top pick in April's draft with Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. The Jets, meanwhile, got a boost when the Chicago Bears rallied to defeat the Seattle Seahawks. That Jamal Adams trade is starting to look better and better for the Jets. As things currently stand, the Jets would own the No. 4 and 7 overall picks in the draft.

The draft order is determined by record and using strength of schedule as a tiebreaker.

The final 14 first-round spots will be determined by playoff results. For now, those teams will be ordered based on playoff seeding if the season ended today.
