Top 100 - Notes Edition - Jetro Lot
Today, I want to talk about where some specific players may fall from yesterday's Top 100, including surprise 1st rounders.

interesting read (a board based on what he's hearing from guys inside the league and not his own grades)
the companion piece is very enlightening on some guys
would recommend giving this a scour
I don't pay attention to Campbell much anymore. He's not much better than Walter, but they are both very bad.
ohhh boy
he better not hurt himself

No way he's available when we pick. I made my peace with it and will be a lot less disappointed when the day comes.
I agree, if he falls out of the top 10, no way he gets past the Vikings at 12

Redskins lost this year's 3rd in the Wentz deal and sit at 11. I dunno though,depending on how things shake out and who's left at that point, I may rather just stay at 14 and keep the 3rd. Lots of talent going to still be there.
confirmed torn achilles for ojabo - my guess is that drops him to the 2nd - probably no further than that and he may still go early 2nd (especially to a team that figures they arent gonna be competitive in 2022 and has lots of capital at the top of the draft like the texans or lions)

Going through the top 13, the one team I have a hard time with is Seattle. They feel like a Trevor Penning team to me. On the other hand, I don't know if they can sell to their fanbase that they spent a top 10 pick from the Russell Wilson trade on a small school OT. They may want to do something sexier with that pick.
they have never once cared what their fans think when drafting lol - they're always the team that drafts a guy and everyone else just kind of laughs
but i cant get over the jermaine johnson fit for them

Seattle don’t give a fuck they’re gonna draft Cameron Thomas or skyy Moore or some other wild ass reach that makes no sense
im guessing very late-1 or early-2 then if this is the case (early 2 makes a bit more sense given that's where teams less likely to be impactful in 2022 are gonna be drafting) - the lions at 32 could be an option

So Ojabo was likely never an option at 14 anyway?
probably not
ojabo's a tough one because the traits are so exciting - but we're not talking about taking someone at 31 like we did with Oweh who was similarly traitsy, we're talking about taking someone with the highest pick the ravens have had since the 2016 draft
the ravens rarely have picks this high - in fact this will only be the 4th time in 20 drafts that the ravens have a top 15 pick and the other 3 times we've picked we went after foundational players:
Ronnie Stanley
Haloti Ngata (who we even traded up 1 spot from 13 to 12 for)
Terrell Suggs
given that history, ojabo seemed somewhat unlikely even before the injury - but hard to identify players that do - the only thing i can pick out of note is that neither ngata nor suggs were supposed to be available to us when we picked and it took either a poor combine or some poor meetings/questions about effort that dropped them to us...
not to belabour a point ive made a million times on this forum already (and it's not even april yet) but there are 2 prospects that potentially fit that profile of maybe dropping lower than their talent says they should: Kayvon Thibodeaux and Derek Stingley

Man you’re setting me up for heartbreak with these posts stop giving me hope
alex wright is a very interesting developmental guy - ive seen some mock him in day 2 and im just not sure i could take someone that developmental before day 3 - but if he's there in the 4th or 5th id love to bring him in and see if we cant take the raw traits and turn him into something
as im working deeper and deeper through this edge class im finding a lot of undersized athletic guys who look like SAMs or rush specialists - wright is one of the few so far who have the potential size and power to hold up on the EDGE more full-time
