2022 NFL Draft Prep: Top Prospects At Every Position

Free agency is wrapping up, and the draft is about a month away.

Each franchise has the opportunity to snag a foundational piece of their future if they evaluate the class properly, especially in the first three rounds. A little bit of luck is involved as well, but intangibles such as gauging a player's durability is as important as what they do in the combine.

This class is weaker than previous years at quarterback, but features a larger talent pool of edge rushers and defensive backs than NFL coaches are used to seeing. Many teams addressed these needs in free agency, allowing us to cross some options at each pick off the list.

Starting at the top, here are our top draft prospects by position that NFL franchises should be considering if they plan on spending a prime pick to solve the problem.
