DRAFT 2022 NFL draft round 1: APR-28 / 8pm ET

[OldSchool]

Really makes me think Ravens may be in play for Deebo... they have NO ONE at WR.

Could be but I think at this point he stays.

Yeah I think you may be onto something there. The 9ers still might move him if they get say a 2nd rounder this year and then the 1st next year. Though maybe the price won't be as steep as they've been saying since the combo of his demands plus number of teams with cap space might limit suitors.

Ravens also have had a great draft so far IMO. I really like the moves they've made, garnering more picks and getting some good players. But yeah Deebo on top of that seems like the kind of thing they'd need to do to give themselves a chance to compete in a loaded AFC.

Well I was wrong about teams reaching for QBs, thought someone would take one earlier and teams would freak. Really interesting that the Steelers had their choice and took Pickett, didn't see that coming.

Thought the Titans dealing AJ Brown and replacing him was pretty cool. Shitty situation but I thought they handled it well.

I don't like that Green Bay loaded the DL. That's a really good strategy for taking us on IMO.

Congrats to Lovie on a great first round. Scooped a stud in Stingley and boosted that interior OL too. And Brad is off to a good draft too in getting Hutchinson at 2, I think Jax made a mistake in that decision but we'll see.

I kinda like Pickett. Not a superstar but he can move a bit and make the throws. Pittsburgh is a good org and they won't mishandle him.

He's basically another Mac Jones; can perform and won't hurt you more than he helps. Honestly, is that any worse than relying on Trubisky?

Yea a trade probably won’t happen but the Ravens expect to be a playoff team with Lamar. Hard to make the playoffs with 0 proven WRs (even for a run heavy team).

He's not the guy I would have taken but I get the Steelers liking him. He's got a nice mix of stuff just like the rest of this class it feels to me like they kind of got fucked over by COVID and all that BS. Interruptions to practice and studying across a roster will show itself first in the play of the signal callers IMO.

We'll see how this class does but I feel like there's some guys who might flip the script on expectations.

Talking head in Detroit is happy. (Foul language alert)!

Would Kyle Hamilton have been on 49ers wants list? If they were talking Deebo, might they have drafted him to trade there?

 

[dieterbrock]

Brad's killing it.

Its amazing how quickly things can change. At one point last year Detroit had the worst WR core I'd ever seen assembled, and now? Really no excuses to not be putting some points on the board

Everything looks pretty on paper.

 

[Merlin]

That offensive group looks better to me than most. This is going to be a big year for Goff. He's going to get a chance to hold that job down and he will have enough around him for them to get a good evaluation.

I figure they'll take a shot on a QB at some point this draft. It would be wise to eat a redshirt while Goff is there. And if Goff plays well, they're in good shape and even if he doesn't then they enter year two with a QB who had time to learn the offense and who will enter his year two with strong weapons around him.

If I'm Holmes, I might even consider trading out of his second round draft pick for a 2023 1'st rounder and a mid-round 2022 pick. My reasoning is that if they accumulate multiple firsts in 2023 they can start looking at a better Goff replacement if he doesn't turn in a good season this year. I'd skip the QB's remaining in this draft when they pick. jmo.

 

[nighttrain]

i watched every Lions game last season. Young and inexperienced on offence with the exception of Goff and the tight end T J Hockenson. Literally no one to receive except Hockenson and Amon St Thomas. Jameson Williams should be huge for Lions offence. Lions were competitive and should/could be at or around .500 this season

Maybe, but I have a feeling they think they have something in Goff. He played much better once they acquired Reynolds & when Dan Campbell started calling the plays. IMO, I believe this will always be a trade that was good for both teams plus Brad Holmes now being GM in Detroit.

Green Bay better be careful, they could end up being the third best team in this division.

 

[Merlin]

Goff's contract has an out after this season according to sportrac. So believing in him is great but the business side has to be buttered too. They have to be ready to move from either destination, those being Goff playing well or not playing well.

Goff will be in Detroit for awhile,

Not the same depth chart list for that team this time last year. Which is the point our guy Brad Holmes has done a masterclass in upgrading that roster after Patricia and the previous GM destroyed the team.

I don't know many people that think he's the long term answer. But there was absolutely no QB in this draft that will be an upgrade him this year or 2023 if the took one.

I realize all that. These QBs all need work and I've acknowledged that as well as said the goal is to take advantage of Goff's presence by taking that redshirt year for the drafted QB.

Also as to anyone thinking he's a long term answer he may well be. The guy has the talent. But there is enough reason to want to hedge your bets even if he's been ideal thus far. His regression with us was real and hopefully he's worked past it but Brad's not gonna hitch his wagon to him he's going to do what's best for the Lions.

I think next year they do this, better QB draft and they still have 2 first round picks. Holmes will build a roster for two years then get the answer at QB and they'll likely take over the division as Rodgers goes into retirement crying himself to sleep.
