When the 2-8 New York Jets take the field at NRG Stadium on Sunday afternoon to face your 2-8 Houston Texans, there will be a lot on the line. Not necessarily fun stuff like playoff seeding, but important matters nonetheless—draft slotting. Whichever team emerges the loser will find itself in prime position for the second overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The first overall pick may be out of reach, but perhaps not; as I write this on Wednesday morning, the outcome of the Thanksgiving Day tilt between the Bears and Lions remains unknown, and a Detroit win there could put the top pick back in play.
