Both Jacksonville and Detroit have home games to close out the 2022 season. The Jaguars face an Indianapolis Colts squad who will clinch a playoff spot with a victory. The Lions are matched up with the Green Bay Packers, who have already locked up home-field advantage by virtue of tiebreakers over the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. These circumstances favor the Jaguars securing the top overall pick in April’s NFL Draft. Part of my weekly mock preamble explains it is an attempt at figuring out the best players available in this season’s draft class, and which teams they’d match up well with considering the draft order courtesy of NFL.com. The closer we get to draft day, the more I attempt to match what teams will actually do with their draft picks as opposed to what I believe they should do.
