2022 NFL draft order: Jets hold 2 top-8 picks entering Week 16

The 3-11 Jets own two of the top eight picks in the 2022 NFL draft with just three regular season games left to play.

With 14 games in the books and just three left to play, the 3-11 Jets are in line for two of the first eight picks in the 2022 NFL draft.

Per NFL.com, New York has its own first-round selection at No. 4 and Seattle’s at No. 8. The Jets own the Seahawks’ first-rounder thanks to the Jamal Adams trade.

New York suffered its third straight loss in Week 15, as Duke Johnson ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Dolphins to a 31-24 win. Brandin Echols gave the Jets life with an interception midway through the fourth quarter to tie the score at 24, but Miami promptly marched down the field to reclaim the lead for good. New York’s offensive line struggled mightily in the second half, allowing Zach Wilson to be sacked five times.

The Jets have a real chance to snap their losing streak when they take on the disheveled Jaguars this weekend. Jacksonville currently owns the No. 1 overall pick with a 2-12 record. A win over the Jaguars would get the Jets off the shneid, but it would also be a detriment to their chances of landing the top pick.

2022 NFL draft order: Jets hold 2 top-8 picks entering Week 15

With 13 games behind them, the 3-10 Jets are in line for two of the first eight picks in the 2022 NFL draft.

Per NFL.com, New York has its own first-round selection at No. 4 and Seattle’s at No. 8. The Jets own the Seahawks’ first-rounder thanks to the Jamal Adams trade.

Week 14 was another disappointing one for the Jets, as their offense failed to get anything going in a 30-9 loss to the Saints. New York’s defense held up for as long as it could, but Zach Wilson completed less than 50 percent of his passes and couldn’t lead the Jets to anything more than three Eddy Piñeiro field goals.

It won’t be easy for New York to snap its two-game losing streak when it travels to Miami to take on the Dolphins this weekend. Miami is down multiple running backs due to COVID, but is on a five-game winning streak and can get back to .500 on the season with a win over the lowly Jets.

2022 NFL draft: Jets hold 2 top-5 picks entering Week 13

With 11 games behind them, the 3-8 Jets are in line for two of the first five picks in the 2022 NFL draft.

With 11 games in the books, the 3-8 Jets are in line for two of the first five picks in the 2022 NFL draft.

Per NFL.com, New York has its own first-round selection at No. 4, with Seattle’s right behind it at No. 5 after the Seahawks dropped to 3-8 with a loss to Washington on Monday Night Football. The Jets own Seattle’s first-rounder thanks to the Jamal Adams trade.

The only teams currently slated to pick ahead of the Jets are the Lions (0-10-1), Jaguars (2-9) and Texans (2-9). New York plays Jacksonville in December.

The Jets broke back into the win column in Week 12, hanging on to defeat the Texans by a final score of 21-14. Zach Wilson didn’t play flawlessly in his return from a sprained PCL, but he scored the game-winning touchdown in the third quarter and worked as an efficient game manager in the closing minutes.

New York will have a legitimate chance to make it two in a row when the Eagles come to MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Philadelphia mustered just seven points against the 4-7 Giants and could be without quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is dealing with ankle soreness.

2022 NFL draft: Jets hold two top-7 picks entering Week 12

With 10 games behind them, the 2-8 Jets are in line for two of the first seven picks in the 2022 NFL draft.

With 10 games in the books, the 2-8 Jets are in line for two of the first seven picks in the 2022 NFL draft.

New York has its own first-round selection at No. 3 and Seattle’s at No. 7 after the Seahawks dropped to 3-7 with a loss to the Cardinals, per NFL.com. The Jets own Seattle’s first-rounder thanks to the Jamal Adams trade.

The only teams currently slated to pick ahead of the Jets’ first pick are the winless Lions (0-9-1) and the 2-8 Jaguars. The Jets play Jacksonville in December.

The Jets are once again determining their quarterback situation ahead of their Week 12 matchup with the Texans (2-8), who currently own the fourth pick. Zach Wilson is inching closer to a return from a sprained PCL suffered against the Patriots in Week 7. If he is healthy enough to play, he will reassume his place as New York’s starting quarterback. If not, Joe Flacco will likely start for a second straight week.

Flacco fared decently in his start against the Dolphins last weekend, going 24-39 for 291 yards and two touchdowns.

Jets have NFL’s second-weakest remaining schedule

The Jets have the second-weakest remaining strength of schedule this season, per Tankathon.

The Jets haven’t had it easy this season, but they will.

Well, on paper anyway. That’s because Gang Green (.400) has the second-weakest remaining strength of schedule this season, per Tankathon. Only the Titans (.346) have a softer slate the rest of the way.

With a 2-7 record, the Jets have eight games left to play. Some of those games, like contests with the Buccaneers and Saints and a rematch with the Bills, will be challenging. But New York’s remaining schedule features a lot of lesser teams, too. The Jets will play the Dolphins twice, as well as the Texans, Jaguars and Eagles.

Of course, when you’re a basement-dweller like New York, no game is a cupcake. While the Jets have beaten quality teams like the Titans and Bengals, they’ve also lost to good, bad and mediocre teams alike.

How the Jets play the rest of the season will go a long way in determining their standing in the 2022 NFL draft order, but Robert Saleh and company will be focused on adding a few wins to what’s been a lackluster campaign.

2022 NFL draft: Updated pick order heading into Week 9

Even though they don’t have a first-rounder, it’s still worth monitoring where they are slated to pick in the draft for later rounds.

The Seattle Seahawks have made a habit of wasting their first-round draft picks in recent years, either by squandering them on poor choices like Rashaad Penny and Germain Ifedi or giving them away in questionable trades, such as Percy Harvin or Jimmy Graham. Next year, Seattle won’t have a first-rounder again because the New York Jets get it thanks to the Jamal Adams deal, which is going just swimmingly.
