2022 Draft discussion thread

[2Kback]

As mentioned in another thread, this draft is really deep at positions Denver could improve on. The guy you can get at 64 is probably just as good as the guy at 40, and there's no one at 9 that will make the impact that Wilson will. This was good timing.

Bingo! That's why I keep nominating you for POTM.

I compared 6 different draft sites to see what prospects they had projecting/ranking around picks 50-75, which is basically the pool for our first pick. Here's a rundown of some of the names that kept popping up...
CB:
Roger McCreary
Kyler Gordon
Tariq Woolen
Josh Jobe
Marcus Jones
Martin Emerson

ILB:
Christian Harris
Chad Muma
Brandon Smith
Damone Clark
Quay Walker

DT:
Logan Hall
John Ridgeway
Devonte Wyatt
Perrion Winfrey
Travis jones
Phidarian Mathis

OT:
Darian Kinnard
Berhard Raimann
Nicholas Petit-Frere
Max Mitchell
Tyler smith

TE:
Trey McBride
Jeremy Ruckert

S:
Lewis Cine
Jalen Pitre

That's a huge list of potential impact players, I'd be happy with almost any of these, and hell some of these will be available at our next pick as well.

Good list. What’s the download on Ridgeway?

 

[Draft Crazy]

Lions have shown strong interest in Wan'Dale Robinson (Expecting a lot of team to) but just wanted to throw that out there hoping I could jinx it to save Robinson's career.

 

[2Kback]

Good list. What’s the download on Ridgeway?

Big strong NT, with room to get stronger. Instant run stopper, and could develop as an interior pass rusher. I'm a big fan, I think he's very underrated.

I'll be interested to see what players we both like in those rounds. I enjoy seeing other members mock drafts for the same reason.

Thats how I roll

 

[Draft Crazy]

Weird as it sounds. Araiza would be the steal of this draft. He might be the best punter prospect in a very very long time. Kalon Barnes and Max Mitchell would be steals where you got them as well.

 

[2Kback]

Kellen Diesch is someone to keep an eye on as well. I think he's going to go much higher than projected. Super technique, simply doesn't give up sacks, but needs to get stronger. A really good developmental swing tackle.

[Draft Crazy]

I like the draft.

 

[CEH]

what are the odds a T that would start next year (one year of maturing spot start) be available this year for us at our picks.

looking back at the prev drafts T is not really a position you can find a starter in round 3+

I'd say the depth at tackle is better than the top level talent in this draft. Meaning you have a a good chance at a good or solid starter in the 2nd and third rounds, especially at RT. A lot of these guys would push to start pretty early I think:
Darian Kinnard
Max Mitchell
Berhard Raimann
Kellen Diesch
Nicholas Petit-Frere
Tyler Smith
Dare Rosenthal (this guy has 1st round physical talent)

Not being close to any actual known facts, but I suspect the Broncos want Collins when the Cowboys have to overpay for Randy Gregory's replacement and cut Collins for salary cap reasons.

btw - on the recent depth chart I saw Mienerz listed as the 2nd string Center. Maybe an Oline of Collins, Glasgow, Mienerz, Risner and Bolles would kick some line of scrimmage butt.

where does he fall to?

Tests confirmed that LB David Ojabo tore his Achilles, per a Michigan source. Doctors expect a full and complete recovery.

Rams’ RB Cam Akers tore his Achilles last summer and was back in about six months, and doctors expect Ojabo to be on the same timeline.

Personally, I love drafting guys like this - money in the bank.
