The Ravens were facing a tough decision between two sliding

 

The Ravens wrecked the grading curve when it comes to the 2022 Madden NFL 24 Draft. It was a class so profoundly deep in value that I was left looking at it pondering if it was too cheesy to give them an “S” rank, as if  Mut 24 coins they perfected a level in a video game. It wasn’t just the decision to take sliding players which made this class stand out, but all the smaller choices along the way that maximized their board and allowed Baltimore to come away not just with the best class in the Madden NFL 24, but one of the best in the last decade.

 

There were a lot of teams who had amazing drafts. The Lions, Giants, and Jets to name a few — but each was afforded the opportunity to have a clear plan for their picks with top-10 selections before executing on them. The Ravens, on the other hand, didn’t have that luxury. Instead, Baltimore worked through their board and perfectly navigating not just which positions to draft, but when to pull the trigger.

 

If you wonder what it takes for a team to completely win the draft at every level, look no further that what this team did in all seven rounds, but in particular rounds 1-3.

 

It starts with the No. 14 pick, which came right after the pivot following No. 10. That’s when we saw back-to-back trades from the Commanders and Vikings, moving back and allowing the Saints and Lions respectively to move up and get wide receivers. This was a critical turning point for Baltimore’s first round, as it cleared out the path for them to take a defensive player. Initially it might seem simple to take Kyle Hamilton, but it wasn’t so clear cut.

 

The Ravens were facing a tough decision between two sliding top 10 defensive players: There was Hamilton, the best safety in the class, but at a de-emphasized position, and Jermaine Johnson II, a sliding edge rusher who looked tailor made to fit the Ravens defense. Getting a pass rusher was critical, with the Ravens finishing in the bottom 10 in the Madden NFL 24, and it seemed like madden 24 coins for sale  the obvious decision. It also would have been understandable if they took the next-best cornerback in the class, Washington’s Trent McDuffie. However, the pass rushing and cornerback classes this year were far stronger than at safety, so Ravens went best player available, and locked down the position.
