If you are still under the impression or anticipate Miami eventually trades multiple first round picks to Houston for Watson, then you probably don't care where the 2022 pick lands in the first round. If you think Miami is going to use the pick, here is what we should be hoping for this weekend to maximize the draft pick slot value. Of course it obviously starts with the 49ers losing to the Cowboys. The pick they got from the 49ers will be anywhere between #19 and #23 depending on the results from the other games this weekend. To get the 19th pick, this would need to happen:

Cowboys Over 49ers
Steelers Over Chiefs
Patriots Over Bills
Bengals Over Raiders
Eagles Over Bucs
Rams/Cardinals game has no impact

Of course if the 49ers defeat the Cowboys, that means the pick will be in the #25 to #32 range depending on how the rest of the playoffs play out in coming weeks.

EDIT: Also, for each one of the above outcomes (assuming 49ers lose) that goes the opposite way, the Dolphins pick drops one spot.

Thanks for the post. This is confusing stuff (at least to me).
Next question is who will do the drafting? The guy who drafted Tua, Jackson, and Iggy or the guy who picked Waddle and Holland.

I hate the Rams. How did they lose that game?

Their defense folded late in the game and McVey calling three straight run plays when one first down would have won the game for the Rams at the end of regulation.
