2022 NFL Draft Gameday Thread

What position will the Ravens select with their first pick in the draft?

  • Total voters
    37
  • Poll closed .
Washington drafted a 1st round WR?

Is Terry McLaurin available now? lol
 
Opted for sleep and just catching up. Oh my, that was insane value. This must be the most Ravens draft ever. BPA!
Love the Jones pick, that was amazing at 76
 
My takeaways:
1. Love the Jones pick. Checks the boxes of what we're looking for and was a position of need.
2. I'm kinda "meh" on the Ojabo pick. I recognize he was a high-end rush talent before his injury, and so the value is fine, but a) I wouldn't expect much, or anything, out of him this year and b) there's really no way to know this soon whether that explosiveness he shows is negatively impacted by his injury.
Feels a little bit like a luxury pick in the 2nd round at a point where maybe a more immediate contributor would have been better.
Long term might be great, but hard to argue it makes the 2022 Ravens better.
3. Plenty of picks on day 3 early, but we're not 4 picks in, and we haven't added any receivers (obviously a need now), any true Corners, any edge rushers (that will help this season) or any Tackles.
Even though you added Linderbaum, you don't really have a true "backup" at LT at the moment, unless you're content playing Moses or Mekari there.
At Corner, yes we can now move Stephens perhaps into the nickel role or rotate some guys, but still lacking tremendously in depth there.
At WR, who the hell knows. Maybe they target a veteran in FA or through trade. Realistically, we'll snag a player or two tomorrow, and they'll have to be in the mix with Proche and Duvernay and Wallace for snaps. Those that have been clamoring for those guys to get more reps... you're almost certainly going to get your wish.
Still got a lot of holes to fill.

I think I may be on the Calvin Austin train for one of our 4th round picks. Gives us speed with enticing route running, although he is a small receiver 5'7 3/4 and 170lbs. he's great off the los with quick acceleration and detailed route running.

That guy can play and may have been drafted much sooner if not for his size

There’s tons of talent still on the board at a lot of those positions

- I’m surprised how much tackle talent’s still on the board
- There’s still a ton of developmental corners hanging around too
- Idk much about the WR class in day 3 but there’s still a few guys hanging around who I noticed and liked the look of when watching other positions
- EDGE is super deep and there’s still a ton of guys with intriguing tape and tools left - I’ve got more edge guys on my board than I’ve ever had before I think
