2022 NFL Draft Gameday Thread
- Thread starter rossihunter2
- Start date
ahaha - yes we are
totally and Oweh was his mentor than as well
ojabo's only playing football because he saw oweh playing and thought he could do it - he was supposed to only be playing basketball lol
we are going to be running a lot of 12 personnel this year
Was out and about today but watching from the bar, so here are my catch up thoughts
4a. Daniel Faalele - a prototypical Ravens pick. Needs to control the weight and conditioning but has all of the tools to slot into RT in the next year or so.
4b. Jalyn Armour-Davis - my favorite of the day. Anthony Averett 2.0 in some respects. Only 1 year as a starter and needs some more seasoning but showed a lot of good things. Premium ST potential.
4c. Charlie Kolar - solid enough guy. Felt like a Ravens type of TE through and through. Doesn't do it very well yet but projects well as a blocker as well.
4d. Jordan Stout - Araiza got the hype but I quietly though Stout was the better prospect. Hangtime and accuracy. Should kick in this league for 15 years.
4e. Isaiah Likely - the only one I'm super iffy on. Tested well but something about the tape just didn't hit for me. Interesting to go with 2 TEs as well.
4f. Damarion Williams - a late discovery in the process. Physical, feisty, but lacking in the speed department. Projects really well as a nickel guy however.
Very surprised we didn't end up with a RB. Felt the value was really good here but guess there's still round 6. Other positions that would have been nice to hit: RB, WR, ILB, Edge (basically, expect these to be the focuses in UDFA)

you've got to be kidding me...
rams get kyren williams
rams get kyren williams
i struggled with likely's tape too
idk what it is about him but he just looks weird when he's moving lol - weird body-shape maybe?
Bengals traded ... wander if they are going Salyer at pick 166
Yeah idk what it is. Just something didn't look right there. Just felt like he was moving in slow motion to an extent.

At least his arse is higher up off the ground than Boykin's when running.
and then when he didnt test well it kinda made sense but he still found a way to get open
but TE is a brutal position in the NFL to transition to as an athletic outlier (at the wrong end)
Kingsley hasn't been drafted yet either, same with Walker
From a bengals writer but maybe illuminating on these 2 prospects
dominique robinson gone

I still can't believe we got Hamilton, Linderbaum and Ojabo. If I said this in February you'd think I was sniffing ajax. Don't know much about Jones, but watching him move is incredible for someone that size. Then add the guys coming back and it's like we hit two drafts. They need to hurry up with this schedule release.
what is it about the Ravens. Whenever we draft a te, it can't just be one.
