The Baltimore Ravens came out of the 2022 NFL draft with 11 total prospects after beginning the festivities with 10 picks. They also traded away No. 1 wide receiver Marquise Brown and didn’t end up taking a wideout throughout any round over the weekend.
Baltimore started things off with a bang, selecting Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton at No. 14 overall and Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum at No. 25 in the first round. Hamilton was one of the best prospects available in all of the 2022 class, and while he doesn’t fill a need, his talent as a rangy, do-it-all safety was too good to pass up. There are questions surrounding Linderbaum’s fit into the Ravens’ offense as well as his size and arm length, but there’s no denying his talent and athleticism as he now presumably slots into the starting center role that was left by Bradley Bozeman.
On Day 2, Baltimore continued to take falling talent, securing Michigan EDGE David Ojabo at No. 45 and Connecticut defensive lineman Travis Jones at No. 76. Ojabo tore his achilles at his Pro Day, but was a first-round talent before the injury. Jones is a disruptor that provides an interior pass rushing presence, something the team has struggled with for years.
