Per ESPN, 6 draft picks by the Ravens in round 4 is the most picks for a single team in the first 5 rounds in the common draft era.

3rd and 4th round odds of drafting a Pro Bowl player.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goodberry@JoeGoodberry

I think the rounds 3-4 are also interesting. Total number of players drafted in that range gave you a 7% chance to draft a Pro Bowler, how many tested vs untested? 1,461 total drafted players 102 total Pro Bowlers 94 that tested = 6.4% 8 that didn't test (3 kickers) = 0.6%

----------------------------------------------------------------

Baltimore holds 'nearly' 16% of the 4th round picks and have already made 1 in the 2nd round. 

7 * 6.4 = .448% or 45% they land one Pro Bowl player

Odds they draft 1 Pro Bowl player.  FWIW I love the guy they took in the 2nd round, EDGE David Ojabo.  Hear he's ahead of schedule coming back from his injury and 'could' see the field as soon as October.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Hear he's ahead of schedule coming back from his injury and 'could' see the field as soon as October.

Two things you never hear - that a surgery was unsuccessful or that a guy is behind schedule in his recovery.

 

[titusbramble]

I am curious what he can do with a short field (I.e. punting from midfield).

Calling timeout and telling the coach to go for it would be a start

2nd round RB taken into the best RB slot in the draft isn't going in the 2nd round of fantasy drafts, guys.

Absolutely. RBs always get over-drafted in rookie drafts anyway but given his draft pedigree and the way his game fits perfectly into the best offense in the NFL, there’s no way he gets out of the first. I can see 1.05-1.07 in some leagues - that’s where Sermon started getting consideration in some leagues last year.

 

[ChiefD]

Chiefs draft was so good 

Yeah, I'm very pleased. Hit every need so far with seemingly quality guys.

Time will tell of course.

The number of little blue pill poppers in Missouri went way down last night.  

 

[Faust]

Howell, Ross, 'Punt God' still available on Day 3 of draft

 

[IHEARTFF]

Howell to Seattle here in a few picks would be excellent value

 

[rockaction]

Dameon Pierce just jumped easily into the second round of rookie drafts. Houston? Burkhead, Mack, Pierce. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Dameon Pierce just jumped easily into the second round of rookie drafts. Houston? Burkhead, Mack, Pierce. 

I liked him and that’s a great landing spot - agree. I think he’ll be a first rounder in many leagues but yes early second in some.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Good fit for Pearce in Houston. Texans have quietly had a very solid draft. 

 

[rockaction]

I liked him and that’s a great landing spot - agree. I think he’ll be a first rounder in many leagues but yes early second in some.

Yeah, a lot of teams will reach at pick eleven or twelve. If you're a two RB league, possibly earlier. 

 

[humpback]

Ravens have 6 picks here in the 4th round, sheesh.

 

[rockaction]

Jets going Tariq Woolen here? 

 

[IHEARTFF]

There’s an Oline pick Jets

 

[rockaction]

Nope. O-line depth. 

 

[joey]

Seahawks have to be planing at trade for Mayfield or Garapolo, right?

or are they tanking for [insert 2023 qb name here]?

 

[Faust]

Daniel Faalele OL, MINN

Height: 6-8, Weight: 384

This is Orlando Brown Lite. Faalele is gargantuan and actually moves well relative to his size. Needs to get a touch nastier and there are lateral limitations to his game. But he blocks out the sun in pass pro and was an asset in the run game in college. (Chris Trapasso)

 

[IHEARTFF]

Seahawks have to be planing at trade for Mayfield or Garapolo, right?

or are they tanking for [insert 2023 qb name here]?

Yeah not sure.
Could be smelling like bung for Young

 

[IHEARTFF]

If a qb needy team doesn’t pick Howell soon, watch Baltimore or KC pick him

 

[skol asylum]

Minnesota trade up?

 

[Desert_Power]

Good fit for Pearce in Houston. Texans have quietly had a very solid draft. 

Not sure it is great for his dynasty value, but I like the football fit. Interesting in redraft as a warm body without a lot of competition.

Curious to see where Bailey Zappe goes.

 

[rockaction]

I can't help but make a mental note that in prior days, I would have been totally imbibing with the Vegas crowd at ten in the morning on a Saturday. Because every day in Vegas is good for 10 A.M. drinking.

----------------------------

If I were a Viking fan and didn't see the previous deals made by Kwesi I would question that since it involved his NFL pals but IMHO Kwesi has done well in this draft.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Spiller gonna hurt Eke’s upside. 

 

[wlwiles]

Zamir White to the Raiders, the day after they declined to pick up Jacobs 5th year option. 

 

[wlwiles]

Wonder what kind of odds you could have had on a Kicker going before Howell? 

 

[rockaction]

A kicker in the ####### fourth? Hooo, he'd better be good. 

Miami on the clock. They just got sniped at RB if they were looking there. 

 

[IHEARTFF]

Wonder what kind of odds you could have had on a Kicker going before Howell? 

Yeah oof

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

Spiller gonna hurt Eke’s upside. 

Not really.  They're not gonna have Justin Jackson. Probably not going to use Kelley/Roundtree with their 3 ypc. Eke has 2 years left anyways.

 

[rockaction]

They're not gonna have Justin Jackson

FA? 

 

[skol asylum]

Raiders traded with Vikings again to get pick back?

 

[IHEARTFF]

Not really.  They're not gonna have Justin Jackson. Probably not going to use Kelley/Roundtree with their 3 ypc. Eke has 2 years left anyways.

Mostly an indictment of the backups but could steal a couple points from Ekeler

 

[Bracie Smathers]

A kicker in the ####### fourth? Hooo, he'd better be good. 

Yep, he better.

That pick had a lot to do with the success of the Cincinatti rookie K last year along with the strength of the AFCN kickers and poor kicking of Browns kickers.   3 kickers in the last 6 years. Made only 72.7% of FG attempts last season, worst mark in the NFL.

He's gotta strong and 'apparently' accurate leg.

Tom Withers@twithersAP

York made 15 of 19 field goal tries beyond 50 yards. #Browns

 

[rockaction]

NFL Network doing a disastrous segment with The Blue Man Group. 

Painful. Pats pick is in. 

 

[IHEARTFF]

Pierre Strong to Pats ugh

 

[rockaction]

Worst landing spot for Strong. Death knell. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Not really.  They're not gonna have Justin Jackson. Probably not going to use Kelley/Roundtree with their 3 ypc. Eke has 2 years left anyways.

IIRC they weren’t thrilled with Jackson. Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly.  

 

[Dez]

Browns needed a kicker but not sure on a 4th rounder though McPherson in the 5th round was a killer pick for Cincy last year.

 

[Dez]

Spiller and a kicker went 1 pick apart in the NFL Draft

 

[rockaction]

York made 15 of 19 field goal tries beyond 50 yards

I heard that on the telecast. That bodes well, at least. Nothing like the kicker that got selected in the fifth or sixth a few yeras ago who had never even attempted a fifty yarder before they drafted him. 

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Time doesn't exist in Vegas.

They pump those casinos so full of oxygen that it always feels like 8pm.

At nine in the morning, no less.

The kid has also made pressure kicks.

He's got a chance to be good.

Zac Jackson@AkronJackson

Cade York, the draft's best kicker

@dpbrugler

: Over the past 2 seasons, York converted 84.6% of his FG tries, including several high-tension kicks in the SEC. He also has outstanding distance with his leg, connecting on 78.9% (15-for-19) of his career FG attempts beyond 50 yds.
