2022 NFL Draft - Day 2 Draft Grades (Round 2 & 3)

Day 2 is in the books and there is plenty to discuss so let's get right to it.

 

Round 2


33 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers from Jacksonville – Logan Hall, INT, Houston – Grade: A

Trade: Green Bay gets 34, Minnesota gets 53 & 59 – Grade: MIN (B) GB (D)

34 – Green Bay Packers from Minnesota from Detroit – Christian Watson, WR, NDSU – Grade: B+

35 – Tennessee Titans from New York (A) – Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn – Grade: B

Trade: New York (A) gets 36, New York (N) gets 38 & 146 – Grade: NYG (C+) NYJ(C-)

36 - New York Jets from New York (N) – Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State – Grade: A

37 – Houston Texans – Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor – Grade: B

Trade: Atlanta gets 38, Carolina gets 43 & 114 – Grade: CAR (B-) ATL (D+)

38 – Atlanta Falcons from New York (N) from New York (A) from Carolina – Arnold Ebiketie, Edge, Penn State – Grade: B

39 – Chicago Bears – Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington – Grade: A

40 - Seattle Seahawks from Denver – Boye Mafe, Edge, Minnesota – Grade: A

Nothing too shocking up here, Green Bay massively overpaid to jump up to 34 but they kind of had to considering they have 2.5 receivers on the roster. Tampa got a very good, and versatile lineman in Hall, Breece makes for a muddied fantasy football situation in the backfield but it was nice value and another weapon on that offense, Gordon and Mafe are both good picks with upside and Carolina did well to pick up a pick almost a full round above what the Giants got from the Jets to move up.

 

41 – Seattle Seahawks – Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State – Grade: B+

Trade: Minnesota gets 42 & 122, Indianapolis gets 53, 77, & 192 – Grade: IND (C+) MIN (C-)

42 – Minnesota Vikings from Indianapolis from Washington – Anthony Booth Jr, CB, Clemson – Grade: A+

43 – New York Giants from Atlanta – Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Kentucky – Grade: B

Trade: Houston gets 44, Cleveland gets 68, 108, 124 – Grade: CLE (B-) HOU (D+)

44 – Houston Texans from Cleveland – John Metchie III, WR, Alabama – Grade:B-

45 – Baltimore Ravens – David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan – Grade: A

46 – Detroit Lions from Minnesota – Josh Paschal, Edge, Kentucky – Grade: C

47 – Washington Commanders – Phidarian Mathis, INT, Alabama – Grade: C

48 – Chicago Bears from Los Angeles (A) – Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State - Grade: A

Cleveland picked up the equivalent of the 90th pick in extra value from Houston who picked a perfectly fine player in Metchie but I’m not sure that urgency was necessary. Booth was fantastic value for Minnesota, Ojabo is just Baltimore rubbing in the fact that they just get good football players and Brisker adds to the trend of NFC North teams bulking up in the secondary (both MIN & CHI picked CB and S).

 

49 – New Orleans Saints – Alontae Taylor, CB, Tennessee – Grade: D

Trade: New England gets 50, Kansas City gets 54 & 158 Grade: KC (C+) NE (C-)

50 – New England Patriots from Kansas City from Miami – Tyquan Thornton, WR, Baylor – Grade: D-

51 – Philadelphia Eagles – Cam Jurgens, C, Nebraska – Grade: A+

52 – Pittsburgh Steelers – George Pickens, WR, Georgia – Grade: A

53 – Indianapolis Colts from Minnesota from Las Vegas – Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati – Grade: A+

54 – Kansas City Chiefs from New England – Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan – Grade: C-

55 – Arizona Cardinals – Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State – Grade: A+

56 – Dallas Cowboys – Sam Williams, Edge, Ole Miss – Grade: C+

Taylor was a tweener between safety and corner but graded out better in my metrics as a corner so he should get a shot but there were many DBs I liked more than him. Same goes for Thornton, who’s more than just a speed guy. Jurgens, Pierce, and McBride are all great value compared to my board as the C2, WR6, and TE1 respectively.

 

Trade: Tampa Bay gets 57, Buffalo gets 60 & 180 - Draft: BUF (C) TB (C)

57 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers from Buffalo – Luke Goedeke, OT, Central Michigan – Grade: C+

58 – Atlanta Falcons from Tennessee – Troy Anderson, OBLB, Montana State Grade: A

59 – Minnesota Vikings from Green Bay – Ed Ingram, G, LSU – Grade: F

Trade: Cincinnati gets 60, Buffalo gets 63 & 209 – Grade: TB (C) CIN (C)

60 – Cincinnati Bengals from Buffalo from Tampa Bay– Cam Taylor-Britt, CB, Nebraska – Grade: B+

61 – San Francisco 49ers – Drake Jackson, Edge, USC – Grade: B+

62 – Kansas City Chiefs – Bryan Cook, S, Cincinnati – Grade: F

63 – Buffalo Bills from Cincinnati – James Cook, RB, Georgia – Grade: D

64 – Denver Broncos from Los Angeles (N) – Nik Bonitto, Edge, Oklahoma – Grade: B

The rare double even trades in the second round. Ingram and Cook were large reaches based on production and testing, I like Cook but I had many RBs ahead of him in my rankings, and Anderson is fascinating prospect and a really nice value at this point.
