2022 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

[jonjon]

Cine is a good pick. You could argue Booth was better, but it's debatable. They filled a big need.

5 Georgia defensive players selected in 1st round

Should Ballard trade up if Malik Willis is within striking distance?

I kind of expect a small trade up tomorrow.

Me too, I'm kinda thinking Ballard is targeting either Malik Willis, or Watson or Skyy Moore. I have a feeling he'll either get Willis if he falls a bit, or whichever WR he wants in the 2nd round.

 

The cost is a lot lower now.

How do you feel 

 

Scroll up.  I have to look at the bright side. They did not draft a QB in the first round. But they should have kept the #12 pick and get Hamilton.  Oh well. 

[#12.]

It will probably be another 50 years before a QB doesn't go until 20 and only one goes in the 1st round.

 

If you like Willis, Ridder or Corral, one of them will be at 42.

Matt Ariaza or Jordan Stout?  

Make it work and draft Wr Watson

I think so. He's probably worth a 1st in most drafts. He's not ready yet, but he can learn under Matt Ryan until he leaves in 2 years.

[Lancer1]

Tomorrow night is gonna be fun!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

There also might be a run on QB FOR needy teams that passed in the first sliding some WR down.

I think so too. Derek Carr, Drew Brees, were 2nd round QBs, so the odds are good Malik Willis could develop into something with his talent.

[GoColts8818]

If Nakobe Dean or David Ojabo slips a little more they could be an under the radar steal at 42.

Well Vikings fans will be very happy and I will be very sad if true 

Generally, vikings fans will NOT be happy, even if they get a great talent unless he's proven few years later. 

 

Kinda like St.Thomas of all NFL fans.

I would be surprised. I think if they liked any QB enough to trade up for they would have went to #32 for that 5th year option. Feels like they didn't love any of the QBs...IMO.

If we could trade up with pick #42 and a 4th rounder, I would do that in a heartbeat. Get your guy, and trade down in the third and draft BPA the rest of the draft. Willis would be worth it.

We aren't taking a linebacker with our first pick.  We have Leonard, Okereke, Franklin, and Speed.

Yeah, but I guess this is good player too.. We get to pick 2 more players in top 70..

 

Anyway, the way I look at it is we're not gonna be great with Cousins, so let the new GM build the roster slowly one by one and they DO get a great QB in coming year(s) to replace Cousins and have a young roster by that time to go for the best. 

 

Here's cheers to that.

 Do not post picks before they are reported on television.  Once you read "per source", that means the announcement has not been made yet.

Willis has a long delivery. He is a major project. Like i said. Ryan did not come here and wave his no trade clsuse so thr Colt could pick a qb in the 2nd round.

Some of these  teams could take QB.

True.  I do not mind a QB with one of the next two picks. Willis is among the BPAs. I think we need to go BPA.

 

Who are some of the best players still left?  Krauser and others like Jalen Pitre but he is a safety too.  He also likes Logan Hall.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Said same thing.

 

 

[TaylorStillTruckedYou]

I really see us foregoing WR and picking up a TE.  Everyone is so focused on WR, I bet we still a really good TE under everyone's noses

David Bell will be Colt in Rd 3, mark my words

I think we can get a Doyle on the third. I don’t think a TE I’d south that pick.

Don't see why, we already had Malik Hooker and Khari Willis so not hard to guess Malik Willis's performance.

[Hawkeyecolt]

If they covet a particular WR the Bears is the team they would want to jump in front of tomorrow. 

[NewColtsFan]

On Friday….    My 2nd round wish list is short.  
 

Watson

Moore

McBride

 

If we can trade back a little, pick up a 4 and still get one, even better.   
 

My 3rd round wish list for WR would have Tolbert, Shakir and Pierce….  TE’s would include Otton, and Ruckert.   I want a Big Y who can block.  If we can wait and get one in R4 or R5 — fine.

Get the WR in the 2nd. Trade down a little in the 3rd, pick up picks, and grab a TE

[danlhart87]

My prediction for Day 2

 

Travis Jones DT

Jelani Woods TE

Thoughts on Willis still available

Ojabo for sure only we wont be able to do anything with him this year.

No thanks to Ojabo

Picking Malik Willis wont surprise me. But if not i can get with one of Watson, Pickens, Mcbride.

[krunk]

Pickens seems like the type the Titans would go for to replace AJ Brown in my opinion.

Leonard is an All Pro

 

Okereke is in the final deal of his contract, has had great flashes on top of huge inconsistencies and he's regressed in coverage..

Speed and Franklin are special team aces with limited playing time in the field..
