Last week I wrote about five teams “on the clock” for a quarterback in 2022. A lot can change between now and next April, but that won’t stop us from predicting which teams eye a QB in the first-round next year.

The Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, and Washington Football Team are a few teams that most would agree should be eyeing quarterbacks in next years draft.
A few other teams I wrote about included the Eagles, Panthers, and Giants. All three teams have a guy they like this year, but none feel guaranteed to have the job next season without a promising 2021 showing.
Drop some teams below that you feel could eye a quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft.
So weird I feel like I’m the only WFT fan that thinks our defense is decent at best maybe finish top 11.. but I think we only win 4 games.. max 6 if we face injured teams
Definitely have to include the Giants in this conversation. Loaded with draft capital (surprisingly) after last year after going all in on the offense this year. If it doesn’t click for DJ I definitely think they’d consider moving on.
My Steelers better be, not much faith in Haskins being the guy. Washington, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions should all be in the mix unless someone makes a move for Watson or Rodgers. Philly, Miami, NYG, Carolina, and Indy all have guys right now, but could be in the market if the team underperforms.
Denver is another team that could/should be in the market. The LA Rams probably should be looking for Stafford's replacement but doesn't have a 1st rounder until? Sneaky team is ATL looking for Ryan's replacement. Such a huge cap hit these next couple of seasons so getting someone to take over in 2024 could be the plan.
Denver Broncos, unless the unlikely trade for Aaron Rodgers happens. They should be picking in the top 10 due to the strength of the rest of the division.
Who I think *could* target a QB in the 1st:
Indianapolis Colts if Carson Wentz flops and they bench him before he reaches 75% of snaps played. Not sure they’ll have a top pick, but if next year’s QB class is as deep as it sounds like it may be, some may fall to the middle of the 1st.
Pittsburgh Steelers, if Tomlin decides Dwayne Haskins can’t be a viable starter one day.
The Washington Football Team!
Love the defense they’re building, and I’m a huge fan of Rivera.
I’m not sure how high they’ll pick in next years draft, but they’ll definitely be looking at QB’s I would think.

Fitzmagic good for a .500 record and a fun season to watch
My Pittsburgh Steelers need one but I don’t think they will be high enough in the draft to select one

Just how bad is Houston this year without Deshaun in the lineup?
Hopefully the Steelers!
What about the Vikings? Kirk's contact is done after next season. Mond is doubtful to be a viable solution.
I would guess that the drafting of Mond takes them out of round one QB conversation unless they have a top-5 pick.
But, a lot can change in a year.
Dolphins if they don’t get Watson.
Assuming you’re not a big Tua fan?
Add assuming Tua doesn’t develop. But let’s not get excited over a bad practice yet. Get him to 16 games, make a call then.
Add Atlanta,I know they didn’t do it this year, but gets easier as time goes on.
If I’m Atlanta, I’m hoping Pitts has an elite rookie year because them passing on a QB and trading Julio isn’t ideal.
They could be sneaky good this year if Matt Ryan plays at a high level — another top-4 pick isn’t likely.

Good ones — the Colts and Broncos will be interesting teams to watch this season.
Big years for both Wentz and Lock.
Agree, Pittsburgh gotta be int the convo.
Pittsburgh is a mess right now. Drafting a RB in round one wasn’t the move I would’ve made.
With the way Big Ben is looking, I wouldn’t be shocked to see them drafting a lot higher than usual in 2022…
