So many needs on this team. Honestly, the only positions I think DON’T need upgrading are QB and RB. I’d love to see a number one WR, but my gut tells me “defensive front 7.”

With all the needs on defense (ZERO forced punts against Buffalo in EIGHT quarters!!!), I can actually see Bill trading down for quantity. I’m not optimistic about this draft, but I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

2022 NFL Draft: How to watch, first-round order, and when the Patriots are picking - The Boston Globe

The 2022 NFL Draft begins Thursday night in Las Vegas and runs through Saturday. Here's a complete guide.

www.bostonglobe.com

The 2022 NFL Draft is set to start Thursday night in Las Vegas, and without obvious star power at quarterback or at the skill positions, and little consensus at the top of the order, anything could happen once the Jaguars are on the clock with the first pick.

It should be a busy few days for the Patriots, who are scheduled to make nine picks, although coach Bill Belichick has never been shy about trading down and acquiring more selections. The Patriots are likely to target the offensive line and the defensive side of the ball with their choices, starting at No. 21.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the draft.

What time does the 2022 NFL Draft start?​

Round 1: Thursday, 8 p.m.

Rounds 2-3: Friday, 7 p.m.

Rounds 4-7: Saturday, noon

Teams have 10 minutes to make a pick in the first round, seven minutes in the second, five minutes in rounds three through six, and four minutes for the seventh round.

When will the Patriots pick in the first round?​

With the Patriots selecting 21st, expect them to be on the clock around 10:45 p.m.; the Colts made the 21st selection just after 10:50 p.m. in 2021.

How can I watch the 2022 NFL Draft?​

The draft will be broadcast on NFL Network, ABC, ESPN, and ESPN Deportes.

What picks do the Patriots have in the 2022 NFL Draft?​

The Patriots have nine picks — five of their own, plus four acquired via trade — but those numbers could change because of the team’s penchant for draft-day trades.

Here’s where the Patriots stand as of Tuesday night:

⋅ No. 21 (Round 1, pick 21 of the round)

No. 54 (Round 2, pick 22)

⋅ No. 85 (Round 3, pick 21)

⋅ No. 127 (Round 4, pick 22)

⋅ No. 158 (Round 5, pick 15)

No. 183 (Round 6, pick 4)

Acquired Monday from the Texans, along with the seventh-round pick.

⋅ No. 200 (Round 6, pick 22)

⋅ No. 210 (Round 6, pick 32)

Acquired in August from the Rams, along with a 2023 fourth-round pick, for Sony Michel.

⋅No. 245 (Round 7, pick 24)

Lotta smoke on Walker to NE the past 24-48 hours, probably too much.

 

[Troublesome 85]

traffic nightmare...the Strip is closed to cars from Flamingo to The Cosmo.

I fully expect the pick to get traded. Pipe dream is it's for Deebo Samuel, real world it's for a 4th and someone's 1st next year

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I'd like to see offense. I expect we will see defense.

 

[JRull86]

I'd like to see offense. I expect we will see defense.

Unless they are drafting a premiere guard at 21, they aren't touching offense in R1. Metchie makes sense as a R2 guy.

Otherwise I see them going heavy on defense, and they truly need to.

[Troublesome 85]

Dont think there is a clear #1 this year. Almost all year I heard Hutchinson. For awhile Neal. Last 2 days have heard 2 other guys.

I'd agree with this

 

[Mione134]

I have no expectations going into tonight or the draft. Bill is so unexpected. Just get a good LB, WR, OT, CB.

The only expectation should be to wait 3 hours for them to trade out.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Wtf is going on? Is this the draft or some sort of celebrity show? Like Ice Cube being randomly in the crowd wtf. Lmao

NFL draft!!!

I'd agree with this

The top 3 are basically interchangeable but I still think Jacksonville would be insane not to go with Neal to protect Lawrence for the next 8 years,

 

[McGarnagle]

What the f***

 

[Smitty93]

What the f***

Basically everyone has had Walker as the #1 pick for the last week
