The Las Vegas Strip has been turned into NFL Central this weekend, a sea of 32 teams' colors as the site of the 2022 draft. Time will tell whose gambles pay off but for now, all 32 first-round picks are sure bets in the minds of those who picked them.
Here's a look at Thursday night's opening round.
1. Jaguars
Travon Walker, 6-5, 272-pound defensive end, Georgia: Rugged run-stopper with explosiveness and aggression that sets the edge and will be dominant at the next level.
2. Lions
Aidan Hutchinson, 6-7, 260-pound defensive end, Michigan: Hometown kid stays home. Will immediately help a Detroit team that was 31st in third-down defense and 30th in sacks.
3. Texans
Derek Stingley Jr., 6-foot, 190-pound cornerback, LSU: Possesses a blend of size and speed but played in just 10 games over the past two years, offering flashes of upside rather than sustained play.
4. Jets
Sauce Gardner, 6-3, 190-pound cornerback, Cincinnati: Did not allow a receiving touchdown during his three-year career with the Bearcats, which leads to desired confidence.
5. Giants
Kayvon Thibodeaux, 6-4, 254-pound defensive end, Oregon: Long, strong and explosive. He has pro-ready attributes with heavy hands and a closing kick to the quarterback (115 QB pressures from 2019-21).
6. Panthers
Ickey Ekwonu, 6-4, 310-pound offensive tackle, N.C. State: Familiar name and first-team all-America gets his chance in the pros in his backyard. Allowed just 10 sacks in 31 career college games (1,256 pass-block snaps).
