Host city
The venue for 2022 was not announced alongside that of 2021 (Cleveland, Ohio) and 2023 (Kansas City, Missouri) in May 2019.[1]
The league subsequently awarded the 2022 draft to Las Vegas on April 23, 2020, as a make-up for the 2020 NFL Draft, which was originally scheduled to be held in that city before the coronavirus pandemic forced all team selections to take place via videotelephony.[2]

2020 Resolution JC-2A picks
In November 2020, the NFL passed 2020 Resolution JC-2A, which rewards teams for developing minority candidates for head coach and/or general manager positions.[3] The resolution rewards teams whose minority candidates are hired away for one of those positions by awarding draft picks. These draft picks are at the end of the third round, after standard compensatory picks; if multiple teams qualify, they are awarded by draft order in the first round. These picks are in addition to, and have no impact on, the standard 32 compensatory picks.[4] Four picks have been awarded for the 2022 draft pursuant to the resolution.
- San Francisco received third-round selections in 2021, 2022, and 2023, when the New York Jets hired San Francisco's defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as head coach,[5] and Washington also hired San Francisco's vice president of player personnel Martin Mayhew as general manager.[6][7]
- The Los Angeles Rams received third-round selections in 2021 and 2022 when Detroit hired Rams college scouting director Brad Holmes as general manager.[8]
- New Orleans received third-round selections in 2021 and 2022 when Atlanta hired Saints pro scouting director Terry Fontenot as general manager.[9]
- Baltimore received third-round selections in 2021 and 2022 when Houston hired Ravens assistant head coach and passing game coordinator David Culley as head coach.[10]
