The 2022 NFL Draft has taken a back seat to NFL free agency for a little while. Before teams around the league settle on their prospect rankings and round-by-round plan of action in late April, many have gotten a good start addressing their needs going into next season and beyond in mid March. Others have taken more personnel hits. The two biggest changes involve the Packers and Texans, as well as the Raiders and Browns. While Green Bay and Houston are now picking twice after the Davante Adams and Deshaun Watson trades, neither Las Vegas nor Cleveland will go on the clock on April 28. Before expanding back into two and three rounds again, that means Sporting News has to reset the mock draft table with updated first-round projections based on the recent developments involving re-signings, signings and trades.
