There was plenty of dealing in Las Vegas on Thursday, and not just at the casinos.
The 2022 NFL Draft got off to an unusual start in Sin City on Thursday with five defensive players coming off the board to begin the first round. There was only one quarterback taken in the entire first round, and he didn’t even get selected until No. 20 overall.
The theme of the night, however, was trades. From No. 11 through No. 32, there were nine swaps that featured first-round picks. That’s the highest number in a first round since 2004, and it doesn’t even include the flurry of blockbuster trades that took place in the lead-up to the draft.
