Here is a look at the first-round order for the 2022 NFL draft after the events of Week 13.

Despite finally collecting their first victory of the season, the Detroit Lions currently are in position to have the No. 1 pick in April's draft.

The draft order is determined by record, and using strength of schedule as a tiebreaker (record and strength of schedule are official tiebreakers to determine the draft order).

The final 14 first-round spots will be determined by playoff results. For now, those teams will be ordered based on playoff seed, if the season ended today.

The 2022 NFL draft is scheduled to be held in Las Vegas from April 28-30.
