The Jets select Iowa State RB Breece Hall.
Don’t blink, day two is moving quickly and lots is happening early. Four picks in, two trades.
The Jets have more high-end talent on their roster than the Patriots. The Patriots have more depth. Jets are ascending. Patriots are….descendng? Flatlining? I'm not ready to say Jets are better yet. That's probably determined by Wilson.Jones…but they are getting there.
— Sal Capaccio 🏈 (@SalSports) April 29, 2022
I can’t disagree with Sal. The Jest have had a fantastic Draft so far. Keep in mind the Patriots still have three pick today, we’ll have to see what Bill Belichick does.
Houston Texans select DB Jalen Pitre.
After trading up with the New York Giants– With pick 38 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons are selecting DE Arnold Ebiketie,
Third trade of the day so far. While we wait to hear what the Chicago Bears are going to do, let’s take a breath. This thing is moving fast.
Jets are building a monster offense 😳 pic.twitter.com/aFo4wUsEuG
— PFF Fantasy & Betting (@PFF_Fantasy) April 29, 2022
As I was saying above, the Jets are taking the jump. The AFC East will be as stacked as the AFC West.
Update: I have to piss, but the Draft is moving so quickly I can’t get away from the computer. People better be reading this.
The Chicago Bears have selected CB Kyler Gordon
Breece Hall is officially headed to the Jets, and his friends and family are thrilled ❤️ @BreeceH | @CycloneFB | @nyjets

Rumour – Panthers Trading for Baker Mayfield
There is a rumour floating around that the Carolina Panthers will be making a trade with the Cleveland Browns for Baker Mayfield. – I predicted that Mayfield would be traded tonight. The Panthers said that they were out on Mayfield, thought only the Seahawks would be in the mix. Seahawks are on the clock, if they selecta QB, the Panthers may execute the trade.
Steve Smith Sr. gives his thoughts on the rumors that Baker Mayfield could be joining the Panthers… 😳

— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) April 29, 2022
the Seahawks have back-to-back picks, with #40 they select Minnesota EDGE Boye Mafe.
Seahawks have selected RB Kenneth Walker, didn’t go quarterback. I’ll keep an eye on the Mayfield rumours.
Pete Carroll's dream offseason:
trades away Russ
welcomes in Drew Lock
bypasses rookie QBs multiple times
instead drafts a RB with his 2nd pick
— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) April 29, 2022
Quick Thought
We heard that teams really didn’t like the quarterback class. The seahawks selecting a running back is the perfect example. Only Kenny Pickett has been selected so far. Let’s also keep in my that Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo are still available for trade. If it doesn’t happen this weekend, it could happen soon after.
TRADE
The Colts sent 42 and 144 to the Vikings for 53, 77 and 182. – The Colts have not drafted a player yet.
Moving up and on the clock!! pic.twitter.com/EuZqD6FhxC
— Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) April 29, 2022
The Vikings have selected CB Andrew Booth Jr
I Need A Minute
Andrew Booth Jr was seen as one of the top prospects in the NFL. I wanted the Patriots to draft Booth so fucking badly! This makes me hate the Cole Strange pick even more.
The New York Giants pick Kentucky WR Wan’Dale Robinson
Texans Trade Up & Take Patriots Top WR Prospect
Texans Alabama WR John Metchie
Ravens select DE David OJABO
Round 2, No. 45 overall: @Ravens select @UMichFootball Edge David Ojabohttps://t.co/JZWZIkX1Lh#NFLDraft
— NFL Draft (@NFLDraft) April 30, 2022
Ravens defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald was Michigan's defensive coordinator last year. Great spot for Ojabo.
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) April 30, 2022
The Lions have selcted Josh Paschal
The Washington Commanders have selected IDL Phidarian Mathis with the 47th pick.
Important Update:
Things chilled out a little bit, I was able to take a piss. I feel better.
Sean Evans announces Bears pick
Not overly important to the Draft, but I fucking love Sean Evans.
Oh… The Bears are taking Penn State S Jaquan Brisker.

ANOTHER TRADE

The Patriots have selected Baylor wide receiver Tyquan Thornton

The Chiefs take Western Michigan WR Skyy Moore at 54.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) April 30, 2022
I was a big fan of Moore heading into the Draft. The Chiefs had to address the WR position so this makes perfect sense. I also have to believe that this was there guy the whole time, because they wouldn’t have traded out of 50 if he wasn’t.
Also interesting to note, we just went on a three WR run.
The Arizona Cardinals have selected TE Trey McBride with the 55th pick. #NFLDraft | #RatedRookie | #RedSea
— The Draft Network (@TheDraftNetwork) April 30, 2022
Arizona made a huge move last night trading for Hollywood Brown and now they have gotten Kyler Murray another weapon to throw to. Clearly the Cardinals are trying to show Murray that they’re all in.
Cowboys take troubled Ole Miss DL Sam Williams.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) April 30, 2022
Atlanta Falcons select LB Troy Andersen No. 58 overall in 2022 drafthttps://t.co/DaASv0iFT5
— Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) April 30, 2022
I think there was better options on the board at LB, however he may play a bit of safety hybrid, interesting pick for the Falcons.
I think this pick is actually reenforcing the fact that the QB market is weak. The Falcons need a QB.
#Falcons crushing this draft:
Drake London
Arnold Ebiketie
Troy AndersenI LOVE all three players‼️

The Panthers and Browns are in active talks surrounding a Baker Mayfield trade, a source confirms to @josephperson.

— The Athletic (@TheAthletic) April 30, 2022
This is the story that I am keeping a very close eye on. Baker Mayfiel deserves a chance to show what he can do, and the Panthers need a QB in the worst way.
The Cincinnati Bengals pick Nebraska CB Cam Taylor-Britt at No. 60 overall.

Bucs fans, I sat down with your new OG Luke Goedeke for an hour breaking down his film. His physical demeanor and finishing ability will fit right into this OL.https://t.co/JXqDj7elAf
— Brandon Thorn (@BrandonThornNFL) April 30, 2022
Tampa Bay has a great pair of WR’s, protecting 45-year-old Tom Brady will be the most important part of the Bucs offense this season. I like the pick, it’s not sexy, but it’s essential.
Breaking: #Chiefs selecting Bryan Cook (S) with the 62nd pick, per source.
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) April 30, 2022
Chiefs continue to address their secondary, they lost an All-Pro safety in free agency, so it makes sense. Physical player, going to bring toughness to the Chiefs defense.
With the 63rd overall selection in the second round, the Buffalo #Bills select Georgia RB James Cook — the younger brother of Vikings star RB Dalvin Cook.
— Jay Skurski (@JaySkurski) April 30, 2022
The Bills needed a RB and they just got a homerun hitter both in the run and the pass game. If he can replicate his brother Dalvin BOOM!
Broncos selected Oklahoma LB Nik Bonitto with the first of two picks they got from the Rams in the Von Miller trade.
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) April 30, 2022
SECOND ROUND IS OVER
That was a wild second round. Maybe teams can relax on the trades and just pick where there at this time around. Fuck.
#Jaguars select OL Luke Fortner with the No. 65 overall pick https://t.co/7iZjOT7dZn #NFL #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/IF0Nw0LQLK
— NFLTradeRumors.co (@nfltrade_rumors) April 30, 2022
Protect, protect, protect, Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville is going to be better than people think. Getting him OL help is huge. Fortner has the ability to play C & G, great versatility.
NFL source just text me:
"Either Nakobe Dean has horrible medicals or is a serial killer. I just don’t get it."
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) April 30, 2022
Dean falling out of the first round was understandable. Falling to the third round is unreal. Either theres some shit that non of us know about, or he’s going to be a fucking steal!!
New York Giants select guard Joshua Ezeudu No. 67 overall in 2022 drafthttps://t.co/DaASv0iFT5
— Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) April 30, 2022
The Giants had no choice. Their offensive line was fucking horrible last season. they had to address it. Ezeudu has to work on his footwork (A trend for Giants OL), however very fixable.
The Miz announced the Browns pick, I enjoyed it.
Cleveland Browns select DB Martin Emerson No. 68 overall in 2022 drafthttps://t.co/DaASv0iFT5
— Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) April 30, 2022
Tough DB for a tough division.
Titans take Ohio State OT Nicholas Petit Frere at 69.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) April 30, 2022
Well the Titans needed a tackle and they took a tackle. A little weak, needs to get stronger. He’s got great feet, I don’t know if he’s NFL ready, but he will be one day.
I have to piss again… I may miss something… sorry
Chicago Bears select WR Velus Jones
— NFL Draft Diamonds ™️ (@DraftDiamonds) April 30, 2022
I thought this pick would have came earlier. Big body slot WR. He’s strong, plays physical, and he’s a special team returner (A Chicago special). Real story is, it took the Bears three rounds to finally get Justin Fields a weapon.
Seahawks are on the clock. Will we finally see a QB selected?
The Seattle Seahawks drafted offensive tackle Abe Lucas
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) April 30, 2022
To answer my own question, no. This is the second lineman the Seahawks have taken. Are they setting up for a Baker Mayfield trade? Are the comfortable with Drew Lock? What the fuck are they doing??????
The Atlanta Falcons have selected QB Desmond Ridder with the 74th pick. #NFLDraft | #RatedRookie | #DirtyBirds
— The Draft Network (@TheDraftNetwork) April 30, 2022
HOLY SHIT!!!! Ridder over Willis!!!! Malik Willis was the huge favourite to be the first QB taken in the Draft. Early into the third round only two quarterbacks have been selected and one is not Willis.
Desmond Ridder going to an excellent situation in Atlanta, in terms of scheme and set-up to learn and develop. He will have a chance to compete for the starting job as Marcus Mariota said he hasn’t been guaranteed anything but rushing him likely won’t be part of the plan.
— Steve Wyche (@wyche89) April 30, 2022
The #Texans took an SEC LB. Not the one you're thinking. Alabama LB Christian Harris is the pick. https://t.co/1HMoIRLaTv
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) April 30, 2022
I like Harris, I think this is a good pick. I’m still shocked that Dean is still on the board.
The #Ravens are having a strong draft. They took UConn DT Travis Jones at No. 76. A 6-foot-4, 330-pound space-eater.
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) April 30, 2022
The Ravens are having a fantastic Draft. This guy just eats double teams up. He’s the perfect Ravens player and perfect for the AFC North.
Per league source, there’s a feeling inside the #NFL Nakobe Dean is looking at a redshirt year due to Pec tear and meniscus in knee. #NFLDraft
— Matt Lombardo 🏈 (@MattLombardoNFL) April 30, 2022
If this is true, it makes sense that he’s slipping. He’s a top 50 prospect. His health is obviously the big problem. Who is willing to take him knowing he has to sit out a year? Patriots?
With pick 80 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, the #Broncos are selecting TE Greg Dulcich
— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) April 30, 2022
The Broncos lost Noah Fant in the Wilson trade so it makes sense that they draft a TE,
Falcons took Western Kentucky OLB DeAngelo Malone with the pick they got from the Colts for Matt Ryan.
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) April 30, 2022
Plays angry, like really fucking angry. I heard him compared to Brian Burns, which I won’t hold against him. I think Burns is a cry baby, but if I’m comparing him to Burns between the whistle, I’m good with the comparison. Atlanta trying to stay relevant after losing the three huge pieces of their offense over the last two years, trying to my defense their identity.
Philadelphia Eagles drafted Nakobe Dean
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) April 30, 2022
FINALLY! I still can’t believe that Dean fell to 83. Even if they have to red shirt him, the Eagles just got a first round talent in the third round.
The New England Patriots pick Houston CB Marcus Jones at No. 85 overall.

Finally Willis gets picked. the Titans need to move on from Tannehill sooner rather than later, and getting their QB in third round is big. Good move by Titans.

Patriots trade the 94th pick to … Carolina.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) April 30, 2022
Carolina was trying to trade into the third round, as a Patriots fan this irritates me. They still haven’t taken a linebacker, and now I have to listen to Patriot fans whine about it.
