The Baltimore Ravens are currently slated to have 10 draft picks in the 2022 NFL draft, including nine in the first four rounds. They have plenty of holes on their roster that they can fill throughout draft weekend, and they’ll certainly look to put together another great rookie group.
The 2022 draft class is an extremely deep one, with many different prospects looking to have what it takes to become quality contributors at the professional level. However, just because a rookie has talent doesn’t mean that he’ll be a fit for every team. When looking at the worst potential landing spots for a few of the top 2022 prospects, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report named Baltimore as the worst for former University of Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum. When explaining why, Ballentine pointed to how Bleacher Report scout Brandon Thorn views Linderbaum’s game.
“Bleacher Report draft scout Brandon Thorn noted that Linderbaum “can execute gap concepts, but ideally he’s in a zone-based scheme that sprinkles those in rather than majors in them”…The Baltimore Ravens could (correctly) feel like Linderbaum would immediately fill the hole left by Bradley Bozeman’s free-agent departure. However, his game is a round peg in the square hole of the Ravens’ scheme.”
