2022 General Draft Thoughts

I still punish myself by listening to 105.7 because I have to fill the void between now and the draft. Vinny cerrato is such a bad scout, he says the same exact thing about every offensive lineman ever, it’s either “he doesn’t bend his knees” or “he doesn’t move his feet” and that’s legit the only thing he ever says on that position group, it’s all he knows.

HOW DID THIS MAN RUN TWO NFL FRONT OFFICES????
 
A move up in the second could be good. There's a bunch of fringe first round guys and early second rounders that could be worth throwing a couple 4ths towards: Ojabu, Drake Jackson, Woolen, Boye Mafe, Josh Paschal, Zion Johnson, to name a few.

if we dont get an edge in R1, i think there'll be an edge there at 45

ive got 11 pure edges + logan hall and demarvin leal with grades right now that would have me completely satisfied with them at 45
 
what are these off-field concerns - did they say anything on the pod?

EDIT: just listened to the podcast and mcshay didnt mention any concerns when talking about wyatt - talked about the conditioning questions with davis and that's all...
its from the 4/4 podcast. around 6:20. He calls them, "character issues" and said, "all" of the teams have mentioned them to him and that he may drop to back end 1 or 2
 

Obviously could be smokescreen stuff, but yeah if we want a big, physical force in the middle it won't be Linderbaum.

if it wasnt something that we've always done at C as a franchise it might be a smokescreen - at this point i think it's just an admission of an obvious organisational thought-process that shouldnt really surprise anyone

thanks - so weirdly vague - with everyone else you get way more specifics on the nature of the concerns... with this it's just a generic thing but clearly not enough to drop him off the board

just odd

definitely a bit vague. could be interactions with coaches, something relatively minor but who knows?

This one is such an understatement, yet the Skins had him as their Asst GM (Dan Snyder was the GM) for 10 seasons, minus the year Marty Schottenheimer was coach. Oddly enough they hired him back when Spurrier was hired. He was basically unemployed during his year off, yet Dan Snyder didn't hesitate bringing him back. I guess he just liked him as his racquetball partner. Rumor has it they played almost daily. He was the 2nd choice though, as Snyder low balled the famous Bobby Beathard, who had built the Super Bowl teams under Joe Gibbs.
 
I note that the ravens were 1 of only 11 teams at the central michigan pro day and it sounds like we sent Joe D and he was watching specifically Goedeke's workout

i wonder if goedeke is someone the ravens think could be one of those C conversion prospects - would definitely explain the apparent interest in CMU's pro day from the ravens given that we're definitely not going to be there for Raimann

I drafted Goedeke in the Forum Mock and can easily see him converting to center in the NFL. It's nice that he would have versatility for all 5 positions if he can make that center transition.

i really like him - i like him more than raimann but the short arms really do show up on the edge with goedeke in both the running game and passing game which is why i think he probably is going to have to move inside

but you're right that the positional versatility would be valuable and the ravens have always valued that positional versatility on the OL because it helps them cover more spots on gameday

I agree he is going to be a liability at tackle, but having him available in emergency isn't a bad thing. I even have Goedeke lined up at center this season and it was my projection for him.

Where do you see him being drafted?
 
Saw that Brugler released "The Beast" today. Don't have an Athletic subscription but was debating buying just for that. He does some good work.

Bro.. imagine having a shutdown corner name Zeno Hannibal. I believe the reward is worth the risk. Draft him!
