The Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread

[Brazen331]

Just got home. I decided I’d rather watch the draft at home. It’s an absolute zoo down on the Strip.

[Brazen331]

Here comes the T

Five straight defensive players. Has that ever happened before?

1991 with 6 straight

[Brazen331]

Carolina gets the chance to pick the best player in the draft now. Lucky bastards.

Wow. It really is a copycat league. Teams see how Donald and that Rams D shut down the Bengals in the Super Bowl.

Wow.

[Brazen331]

Carolina might as well had #1 overall this year.

[TonyLip]

Pancaker!!!

[Brazen331]

Birds trying to get their own Mike Evans.

Who is that?

PSA: It's not a reach if the guy is going to be gone the next time you pick.

Falcons passing on Jermaine Johnson was dumb.

Was London even the best WR? I'm sure they thought so, but he doesn't look like a top 10 pick at WR imo.

Falcons were terrible at rushing the QB, who have they added?

They'll be drafting top 10 again with the Panthers next year.

The guy they picked. Now let’s see what the Saints are up to after that ridiculous trade they made I kind of expected them to move up by now. Why would they give up so much future draft capital?

I think they are counting on that tbh.

Probably talking myself into it, but Stingley as #1 DB off board makes sense to me. When healthy, hard to imagine him having an equal. LSU was a shit show after his tremendous freshman season.

[Dread]

That's the first pearl necklace I've seen at the NFL draft

[Nano]

The Saints just jumped up. Have to figure this is where the first QB comes off.

[kaimaru]

The draft snuck up on me this year. My only hope is we invest in our defense. It's old and could get older if we bring back Suh and/or JPP.

We also have multiple key players on their last year of their deals(LVD, SMB, Dean, Edwards, Ryan, Gholston, Nelson, Nunez) So an infusion of young CHEAP talent will be critical.

Yeah, but we know they are all in. I can imagine them targeting offense once or twice in 1-4. Bucco Bruce has been telling Licht, "defensive doesn't matter if you outscore them every game."

[Brazen331]

Who are the Saints taking? Hamilton? Johnson? Maybe it’s Willis.

[Dread]

I hope the Saints don't draft Jordan Davis here.

[Snake]

Is Hutchison legit or Chris Long 2.0? Yes, both white high motor types. Sorry.

[Doctor]

We have four picks in the first four.

Ideally:
A starter who hold his own his rookie year
A guy who gets significant snaps, and contributes
Two younger guys with potential we can get excited about stepping in at some point. And also improve our special teams coverage.

Hoping for one of the guards, or someone to fall tonight.
I've got my eye on the McBride TE out of Colorado St. on day 2. Would love to snag him.

I mean, maybe when we had a bad roster. But on this team that's beyond ideal.

They didn't need to trade up for a QB.

[_MB_]

2nd and 3rd to move up

[TonyLip]

Hamilton?

[Snake]

The narrative is it’s becoming a skill league. 6 trench players in top 10. But followed by skill. So…

[Snake]

Olave. Dang. He’s gonna look too good in gold and black.

[Brazen331]

Big overpayment for Olave.

[bucs63]

Saints grab a WR for Jaboob. Olave.

[Brazen331]

Lions pick Hamilton here it is home run draft for them.

[_MB_]

Big pick for the lions here.

[Snake]

How tf did Hamilton run a 4.73…

[Snake]

QBs
Guys who rush QBs
Guys who protect QBs from rushers
Guys who QBs throw to
Guys who defend guys who QBs throw to

LBs and RBs pls go

[Brazen331]

It’s like WRs are with their weight in gold this year.
