2022 General Draft Thoughts

@rossihunter2

who you taking between Hamilton, Sauce or Sting?
 
Im fine with it and lying season is about to peak.

Hamilton at 14 really depends on who's left. I have a hard time picking a S in the top15 of the draft. Imho he's a luxury pick and we have bigger needs.
Would you pass on Kam Chancellor because you had Earl Thomas?

That's not exactly what I meant. I just have a hard time believing Hamilton is going to be our highest ranked player when we're on the clock.
Imho we have to draft either a Edge, DT, CB or OL in the first. That's the positions we still aren't set. I'm a believer in well balanced rosters and overallocating resources to S isn't smart when we already have to vets who are still in their mid-20s. It's not like we have an old vet there and need immediate help this or next year.
and also tbf Kam was 5th round pick.

yes, Kam was a 5th round pick, but that wasn't the point. Hamilton, if he is available could very well be the top player on many teams boards at that point. He's the top player on my board and I wouldn't just pigeon hole him as a strong safety. He can play all over the defense. Do we have bigger needs, yes we do, but I'm not drafting for need when Hamilton is sitting there. I may trade down though.

Booth wouldn’t be bad. I’m slowly talking / hyping myself into drafting booth more and more as a hedge when KT, JJ, Sauce, Stingley, Cross, and Hamilton all goes before 14.




Maybe i watched a different booth jr cause other than run support, he and marlon are nothing alike like at all

Id take hamilton only if we trade up in 2nd to grab a pass rusher lol

I'd rather trade down and collect more picks to jump up in 2nd round for pass rusher and Marcus Jones.

Been an easy comp the whole way through the process

And booth’s definitely going to be in my top 14 prospects when I set the board

Unrelated, but I noticed James Cook as one of his “star” players too. I’ve been watching him more lately and liking the idea of us drafting him. He’s probably a 3rd rounder eh? Wonder if Lamar already told EDC.. you know he loves that Florida connection lol

Humphrey was the first name to come to mind for me and no other corner has come to mind since. That said, “difference maker at the catch point” is not a great trait of Humphreys but it is for booth, his ball skills are phenomenal
 
If sauce or stingley comes within range, we def trading up for them so be prepared lol
I think you may be right. I've actually had conversations with friends and told them this may be the year the Ravens move up in the first round, which they haven't done since I've been a Raven fan. They have traded into the first to draft Lamar and last year by trading Orlando Brown to the Chiefs, but they haven't traded up from their original 1st round pick. I've been a fan since 2014.
