is this baltimore's year?: NFL Draft grades
NFL
The consensus in the scouting world is it takes three years to grade an NFL draft class, but who has time for that? Here we have graded the top 10 teams who benefitted the most out of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Had one of the best collective day 2 hauls, which was important without a first-round pick. Pierce and Woods should stretch the field for Matt Ryan, and the slightly older Raimann (24) is better than several tackles picked ahead of him.
10. Indianapolis Colts
Key Picks: Alec Pierce (WR, Cincinnati), Jelani Woods (TE, Virginia), Bernhard Raimann (OT, Central Michigan), Nick Cross (S, Maryland)
The state of Michigan rejoiced when Hutchinson slipped to No. 2 overall. There were echoes of past drafts with the Lions' bold receiver pick when they traded up 20 spots for Williams (still sidelined by a torn ACL).
9. detroit lions
Key Picks: Aidan Hutchinson (Edge, Michigan), Jameson Williams (WR, Alabama), Josh Paschal (Edge, Kentucky), Kerby Joseph (S, Illinois)
GM Joe Schoen played the order of his first two picks shrewdly, drafting Thibodeaux (No.5) before Neal (No.7). Bellinger and Belton address major needs for a team with a lot of holes.
8. New york giants
Key Picks: Kayvon Thibodeaux (EDGE, Oregon), Evan Neal (OT, Alabama), Wan’Dale Robinson (WR, Kentucky), Joshua Ezeudu (G, North Carolina)
Two pass-rushers in the first three rounds was smart. Stole the second quarterback, Ridder, at No. 74 to play a similar style to starter Marcus Mariota, which gave the struggling Falcons a great NFL Draft.
7. Atlanta Falcons
Key Picks: Drake London (WR, USC), Arnold Ebiketie (EDGE, Penn State), Troy Andersen (LB, Montana State), Desmond Ridder (QB, Cincinnati)
The Steelers extensively studied all quarterbacks and got their top choice. The game-ready Pickett should make a seamless in-city adjustment — and they didn't need to trade up from from No. 20 to get him.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers
Key Picks: Kenny Pickett (QB, Pittsburgh), George Pickens (WR, Georgia), DeMarvin Leal (DT, Texas A&M), Calvin Austin (WR, Memphis)
GM Howie Roseman traded pick No. 18 for Pro Bowl WR A.J. Brown and found ready-made replacements for ageing Eagles greats in Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce.
4. Philadelphia Eagles
Key Picks: Jordan Davis (DT, Georgia), Cameron Jurgens (C, Nebraska), Nakobe Dean (LB, Georgia)
The Chiefs were overdue to upgrade all three levels of defence. It was mission accomplished, with five of their first six picks dedicated to defensive positions.
3. Kansas City Chiefs
Key Picks: Trent McDuffie (CB, Washington), George Karlaftis (EDGE, Purdue), Skyy Moore (WR, Western Michigan), Bryan Cook (S, Cincinnati), Leo Chenal (LB, Wisconsin), Joshua Williams (CB, Fayetteville State)
Synonymous with fans booing their selections, the Jets may have redeemed themselves by drafting the top cornerback, top receiver, top running back and a top-four edge rusher.
2. New York Jets
Key Picks: Ahmad Gardner (CB, Cincinnati), Garrett Wilson (WR, Ohio State), Jermaine Johnson (EDGE, Florida State), Breece Hall (RB, Iowa State), Jeremy Ruckert (TE, Ohio State)
Having the best outcome this NFL Draft is the Ravens. They secured four players with first-round traits over the first 76 picks. Hamilton and Linderbaum were two of the easiest high-end evaluations, and they slipped to No. 14 and No. 25, respectively.
1. Baltimore Ravens
Key Picks: Kyle Hamilton (S, Notre Dame), Tyler Linderbaum (C, Iowa), David Ojabo (LB, Michigan), Travis Jones (DT, Connecticut), Daniel Faalele (OT, Minnesota)
