There is just over a week until the 2022 NFL Draft. At this point of the process, prospects are meeting with teams at their facilities, and those teams are publicly stating their interest in certain prospects. For months teams have been associated with taking a player from a specific position group early or at any point of the draft. Now it is a matter of figuring out which players will teams have their eye on to address a need on their roster.

At this point last year, Jacksonville taking Trevor Lawerence number one overall and New York taking Zach Wilson with the second pick could have been written in ink. Trey Lance started to gain momentum over Mac Jones to go third overall to San Francisco. For the first time since 2018, there is uncertainty around which quarterback will be the first one selected. Also for the first time since 2013, it is unclear which team will be the first to select a quarterback in the draft.

But there are some quarterback-needy teams who will need to take that risk in order for the team to progress forward and be competitive in the near and distant future.

Here are where the top quarterbacks of the 2022 NFL Draft class should land.
