The Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread

[Caradoc]

Pinion averaged 42.5 yards last year. Camarda 46.6. They just drafted over 4 yards per punt. Not insignificant.

There’s a lot of context missing from this. This kid very well may be an upgrade. But those numbers don’t mean terribly much. Pinion averaged 45.2 in 2020. Did they draft 1.5 yards of upgrade if this was last season?

They drafted a punter because Pinion visibly regressed last season. He was just bad.

Make the opposing offense sufficiently one dimensional through the shutting down of the run that you can get by with bad DBs because you know what’s coming.

Unless you’re playing the Rams.

Always tragic when a 27-year-old’s leg falls off

[Miller4Prez64]

Did we just trade in?

[Cheb]

Did we just trade in?

Yep

[Naismith]

When Brady gets put into the Hall of Fame, his top accomplishment is going to be getting a GM an extension who has drafted two kickers and a punter.

[Miller4Prez64]

McCollum!!! Alright Licht I let you off the hook.

[Phantom]

Sam Howell to Commanders

[King Bootz]

No one is saying they'd expect a rookie corner to see snaps ahead of our top 3 (Logan Ryan is playing safety now).

But you're not blind. All 3 of our top corners missed time due to injury last season. We had scrubs like Ross Cockrell, Dee Delaney and Rashard Robinson getting meaning snaps and looking like shit doing so.

Depth matters. You obviously know this. I'd rather have young guys with room to grow backing up our starters as opposed to 30 year old+ scrubs who have never been worth a damn.

Logan Ryan might playing nickel for us, but that's neither here nor there. We will see how that shakes out.

You're not wrong though.

If Ryan is playing nickel for us, that's an even bigger reason to draft groom his eventual replacement. That would mean either SMB or Dean got a demotion in their contract years.

Edit: Seems Licht agrees.

[Naismith]

The Jaguars trade: Pick 157, 235

The Bucs trade: A 2023 4th round pick

This should be a fireable offense.

[Backside]

There’s the CB, nice.

Hopefully we just gave up the two sevenths.

Edit: oof, guess not. We’re all in. Need a hit here.

[Snake]

Those measurements are pretty ridiculous.

Hope he knows when to turn his head around.

Licht getting his ass handed to him in these draft day trades is pretty par for the course at this point. Like the pick though.

[Cheb]

Well there's our developmental corner.

[Backside]

[Snake]

They must’ve had a high 4th grade on him.

[mdb1958]

What did we give up for McCollom?

[Snake]

Can someone make thread please

[King Bootz]

What did we give up for McCollom?

A 4th next year.

[Naismith]

They must’ve had a high 4th grade on him.

They had a fourth round pick and didn't take him!

[Snake]

Must’ve had a higher grade/whatever formula on the punter.

[Miller4Prez64]

Not sure how I feel about giving up a 4th next year, but it shows how much they like McCollum. Which I did too. Very good pick.

[mdb1958]

LOL, I can hear Scott Smith calling Licht - hey man they're mad at you...

[The Outsider]

I like this shit, we're going all fuckin in baby.

[King Bootz]

6'3 199 and runs a 4.33.

[Snake]

[Cheb]

6'3 199 and runs a 4.33.

With a near 40" vert and an 11' broad jump.

His athletic numbers are ridiculous.

[mdb1958]

Another great quality - eat next years food.

[Snake]

Jamel Dean, for comparison.



It would appear the new kid is quicker

[The Outsider]

Damn he's fucking quick for someone with that frame.

[King Bootz]

6'3 199 and runs a 4.33.

With a near 40" vert and an 11' broad jump.

His athletic numbers are ridiculous.

This is the kind of athlete you throw at your coaching staff to mold.

No kidding. Stick him on the boundary and just let the dude eat.

With those testing numbers, I am super surprised he lasted this long. NFL.com had him projected as a third or fourth rounder. Glad we traded for him.

[Naismith]

This is pretty ridiculous.



It would have been much better in round four and not making the trade, though.
