2022 NFL draft first-round order: Jaguars, Lions enter Week 18 in contention for No. 1 pick

Here is a look at the first-round order for the 2022 NFL draft after the events of Week 17.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions were on the wrong ends of 50-burgers on Sunday, and the two two-win teams will enter Week 18 in contention for the top overall pick in April's draft.

While the Jaguars host an Indianapolis Colts team that has yet to clinch a playoff berth, the Lions will host a Green Bay Packers team that already has secured home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

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.
