Rumblings of the 2022 NFL Draft are upon us, even before the commencement of the 2021 NFL season. Fans do tend to have one eye on the future, regardless of what situation their franchises are in. As such, as we look at the 2022 draft class, it doesn't appear to be much different than the 2021 class. There are too many elite offensive players, but the difference between the two draft classes is on the defensive side of the ball. We saw quarterbacks go at numbers one, two, and three in the 2021 NFL Draft. The chances of that happening in 2022 are negligible, considering most of the talent is on defense.
