2022 NFL draft -- Analysis of all 262 selections

The first round of the 2022 NFL draft is in the books, and it included a lot of firsts. There were nine draft-day trades, the most in the first round since the draft expanded to three days in 2010. Georgia became the first school in NFL draft history to have five defensive players selected in the opening round. For the first time, no running backs or tight ends were selected in Round 1. And nine teams had multiple first-round picks — the most ever in the common draft era.

With so many teams having multiple picks, a record 10 teams didn't get to join in the fun and draft on Thursday night. They'll all be making their first picks in Rounds 2 or 3 of the NFL draft on Friday night (7 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN/ESPN App).

Choosing Kaiir Elam makes all the sense in the world for the Bills. Cornerback was the biggest area of need on the roster after losing Levi Wallace in free agency and with Tre'Davious White coming off a torn ACL in his left knee. Buffalo also had to trade up only two spots to get the last player with a first-round grade on its board. Elam will turn 21 in May, and general manager Brandon Beane described him as having a «high ceiling.» Elam will have the opportunity to quickly earn the starting job and make an immediate impact on the Bills defense.
