The 2022 NFL Draft is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable ones in recent memory. A weaker draft class devoid of high-end quarterback talent is rendering the top of this year's class muddled. We don't yet know who the No. 1 pick will be, and draft boards are seemingly varying wildly from team to team. Part of this is because many of the higher-end prospects in this year's class play the same position. Aidan Hutchinson, Travon Walker, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Jermaine Johnson are all edge rushers. Evan Neal, Ickey Ekwonu, Charles Cross and Trevor Penning are all offensive tackles. Nobody really knows how the order will shake out at those positions. It's similarly jumbled at receiver and quarterback, to a lesser extent.
