The 2022 NFL draft is nearly upon us. When is the 2022 NFL draft? It’s Thursday at 8 p.m. on both ESPN and NFL Network. At least, that’s when Round 1 starts. We’ll also see Rounds 2 and 3 on Friday night, starting at 7 p.m. And then Rounds 4 through 7 will commence on Saturday at noon. By Saturday evening, the 2022 draft will be complete.
Before we get to Days 2 and 3 of the draft, however, we will witness Round 1. And it’s an unusual year, with a number of teams having traded away first-round picks.
