A Baltimore Ravens fan is upset after their team drafts a player who had a low draft pick in the fourth-round. Kyle Hamilton, picking up his first ever NFL football jersey, discusses how teams use grades and if it would be better for him to have been drafted higher.
The “nfl draft grades 2022” is a website that allows users to see the NFL Draft Grades for each team and player. The site is updated after every pick in the NFL Draft.
There was a time during the 2021 NFL season when the Baltimore Ravens looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. But a six-game losing streak to end the season put that notion to rest as John Harbaugh & Co. finished in last place in the AFC North with an 8-9 record and missed the postseason altogether. And that’s how the Ravens ended up with the 14th overall pick to start their 2022 NFL Draft.
While Lamar Jackson has yet to sign a new deal, it’s unlikely that the Ravens would spend any of their 10 draft selections on a quarterback, particularly given how competent Tyler Huntley was while Jackson was injured last season. Stranger things have occurred, so we’re not saying the Ravens won’t take one, but they have other needs that are more urgent, notably on the defensive back and defensive line, which is why they went with Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton at No. 14 to start things off.
At No. 25, they moved up to get All-American Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum, one of the most durable choices in the draft.

Kyle Hamilton of Notre Dame was once one of the top four or five players on many draft boards, but a mediocre 40-yard sprint at the NFL Combine dropped him down a notch. That was great news for the Ravens, who could have discovered their next Ed Reed. He’s a dynamic player with a lot of athletic potential who comes to Baltimore at 6’4′′ and 220 pounds.
Grade: A
Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa, is ranked No. 25 overall.
Tyler Linderbaum, perhaps the best center available in this draft, will come in and make an instant impact. With his wrestling experience, he’s large, powerful, nimble, and understands how to toss people about. The Ravens get an easy A here.
Grade: A
