The Detroit Lions currently own two picks in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

There is a good chance that they will use one of them to select a quarterback. The Lions are completely rebuilding their team, so it's time to start thinking about the quarterback of the future to eventually replace Jared Goff.

#4 - Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers Cam Newton and Sam Darnold

The Carolina Panthers were the culprits of some of the worst quarterback play in the NFL last season. They traded for Sam Darnold prior to the season, but he was eventually replaced by Cam Newton.

Panthers quarterbacks combined for 14 touchdown passes and 21 interceptions last year. They may look to the draft to attempt to solve their problem at quarterback.

#5 - Denver Broncos

Denver Broncos Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater

The Denver Broncos are expected to be heavily involved in the trade market for a quarterback. If they are unable to complete a deal prior to the 2022 NFL Draft, they may seek a solution with their first-round pick.
