#325: Dash To The Draft 2022 (AFC North Draft Preview with Billy Riccette)

1. With Deshaun Watson now in the fold, the Browns arguably have the most complete roster in the entire NFL. Outside of another EDGE opposite Myles Garrett and more WR options aside from Amari Cooper, I don’t see any other glaring holes on this Cleveland team. Do you?

2. Almost like the Browns, the Ravens don’t have that many glaring holes on their roster. But there is such a need at the all-important EDGE position, where Baltimore has not had a player reach double-digit sacks in a season since Terrell Suggs in 2017. If no EDGE or pass-rushing DT left on the board meets the value of the 14th overall pick, could you see the Ravens as a strong candidate to trade down?

3. The search is on for a long-term successor to Ben Roethlisberger and based on their presence at all these Pro Days, you can tell the Steelers are leaving no rock, stone or pebble unturned when it comes to this QB class. And perhaps the worst kept secret in the entire NFL since the Senior Bowl is their love for Malik Willis. If the Steelers are as madly in love with Malik Willis as they seem to be, should they be willing to trade up to as high as 5 overall in order to get him? 

4. The Bengals came oh so close to winning their first Super Bowl in franchise history, but their porous offensive line play, especially in the passing game, proved too much for them to overcome in the end. That’s why the Bengals have spent the vast majority of their resources so far this spring on improving Joe Burrow’s protection with Alex Cappa, Ted Karras, and La’El Collins. Have the Bengals upgraded the OL enough to where they can stomach the possible scenario of not drafting another offensive lineman in the first 2-3 rounds?
