Is your school able to get players to the NFL?

In the transfer portal world – along with recruiting – the sales job that the next level is a real possibility means everything. So which schools get to brag the most after the 2022 NFL Draft?

Something to keep in mind here. Yeah, it’s great to have a lot of players be loved by the NFL, but if you didn’t lose a ton of talent, that might mean you’re coming back loaded for the 2022 college season: get ready for a whole lot of Clemson in the 2023 NFL Draft.

A school gets 7 points for each first round draft pick, 6 for a second, 5 for a third, 4 for a fourth, 3 for a fifth, 2 for a sixth, and 1 for a seventh round selection.

Why the Cardinals’ trade for Hollywood Brown is outstanding

The Cardinals trade for Hollywood Brown was an excellent move that immediately makes the team better

As projected, the Arizona Cardinals used their first round draft pick to acquire a wide receiver. The surprise came when the pick was traded for an established star wideout, as opposed to moving up for one of the top prospects.

The Cardinals sent pick No. 23 for Ravens’ star receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and a third rounder. They were met with optimism for the deal but also a fair amount of skepticism. Former Titans wideout A.J. Brown was traded for a similar package.

There are a few reasons for this that are going over the head of the casual twitter general managers. First, A.J. Brown wanted to play with the Eagles. That has been made clear. Second, while he has put up better stats than Hollywood to this point, the Cardinals were looking to pair elite speed with DeAndre Hopkins. The team also has two extra years of affordable control.

Oh – and the obvious. Hollywood played with Kyler Murray in college and the two were one of the most exciting duos in the country.

Sitting at pick No. 23, it was always going to be a longshot for the Cardinals to land one of the big four receiver prospects, those being Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave and Jameson Williams. All were gone by pick No. 12.

General manger Steve Keim mentioned in his press conference following the first round that he thought most of the prospects the team coveted would be gone by pick No. 23. This came true, with the likes of Treylon Burks, Zion Johnson and Jahan Dotson all being selected in front of them. There wasn’t a better offensive player to be had than Hollywood at pick No. 23.

Acquiring Brown (and a bonus third-round pick) immediately brings a known commodity into the offense, as opposed to taking a gamble with a college receiver.

In his final season with the Ravens, Brown had 91 receptions for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns. This is an impressive feat considering the run-heavy scheme by offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Baltimore’s star quarterback Lamar Jackson missed the last month of the season which severely hindered Brown’s opportunities to make plays.

There’s a good chance Hollywood’s production increases in Arizona. First, Kliff Kingsbury’s offense is far more receiver-friendly than that of the Ravens in terms of production. Second, opposing defenses draw most of their focus on DeAndre Hopkins. Brown will see a ton of one-on-one coverage with the safeties drawn towards D-Hop.

Last season was hands down Brown’s best. He was operating as the No. 1 receiver on the depth chart. The sky is the limit for him alongside Kyler Murray and the arsenal of offensive firepower at the Cards’ disposal.

POLL: Grade the Cardinals’ 2022 NFL draft class

What grade would you give the Cardinals for this year’s NFL draft class?

The 2022 NFL draft has finally concluded, with teams now looking to add the best remaining undrafted free agents. The Cardinals drafted eight total players, but acquired nine including the trade for Hollywood Brown.

The Cards went offense early, drafting their first player in the second round in tight end Trey McBride. They followed up with back-to-back edge rushers in hopes that at least one can help fill the void from Chandler Jones’ departure.

For the sake of this poll, we’re including Brown as part of the draft class since he was essentially their first round pick.

Here’s a look at the entire Cardinals draft class with that in mind:

Round 2- TE Trey McBride, Colorado

Round 3 – DE Cameron Thomas, San Diego State

Round 3 – DE Myjai Sanders, Cincinnati

Round 6 – RB Keontay Ingram, Southern California

Round 6 – OG Lecitus Smith, Virginia

Round 7 – CB Christian Matthew, Valdosta State

Round 7- LB Jesse Luketa, Penn State

Round 7 – OL Marquis Hayes, Oklahoma

Twitter reacts: Justyn Ross goes undrafted

Justyn Ross went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, and Twitter is not happy about it.

Most mock drafts projected former Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross to be a day two or early day three prospect, but after Ross waited and waited for hours, he went undrafted, sending Twitter into a frenzy.

Similar to Andrew Booth Jr., Ross’ biggest concern heading into the draft was his injury history. He missed the entire 2020 season because of spinal surgery and battled through a foot injury in 2021 that forced him to miss three games.

It seemed like Ross’ injury history was the main reason for his fall, but even with his struggle to stay healthy, the upside for the wideout is massive.

On one of the most inconsistent offenses last season, Ross had a team-high 514 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 46 receptions. As a freshman in 2018, Ross had 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns on 46 receptions. He followed that season up with a strong sophomore campaign, recording 865 yards and eight touchdowns on 66 receptions.

Ross will now try to find his team as an undrafted free agent.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Ross not being drafted.

No Longhorns were selected in the 2022 NFL draft

Texas gets shut out from the NFL Draft for the first time since 2014.

No Texas Longhorns were selected in the 2022 NFL draft for the first time since 2014.

Kicker Cameron Dicker and defensive back Josh Thompson received NFL combine invites and hoped to hear their names called but had no luck. The two should have some options at their disposal as undrafted free agents.

Looking ahead to next season, Texas is expected to fare better in the 2023 NFL draft. Bijan Robinson leads a talented group of Longhorns who will be pro-eligible next April.

Steve Sarkisian is tasked to produce more NFL talent in a hurry. Texas’ last first-round pick was Malcolm Brown way back in 2015. The 2005 draft was the last season where Texas had a first-rounder taken from the offensive side of the ball.

Putting more players in the league shows the strength of a program and serves as a valuable recruiting tool.

WATCH: The moment Logan Bruss got the call from the Los Angeles Rams

Logan Bruss gets the call, and Rams HC Sean McVay says he’s building a “Wisconsin offensive line” in Los Angeles:

The Los Angeles Rams were able to add another Wisconsin Badger on their offensive line during the third round of the 2022 NFL draft.

The Rams selected Wisconsin OL Logan Bruss with the No. 104 overall pick, making him their third Badger offensive lineman alongside Rob Havenstein and David Edwards.

The Super Bowl champion Rams were fired up to say the least when they landed Bruss with their first pick of the 2022 NFL draft. Rams head coach Sean McVay joked with Bruss that the Rams were going to have a “whole Badger offensive line” pretty soon. Here is a look at Bruss getting the life-changing call:

Baylon Spector goes in the seventh round to a contender

Baylon Spector is going to Buffalo

Clemson saw its second player come off the board in the 2022 NFL draft, with linebacker Baylon Spector going No.231 in the seventh round to the Buffalo Bills.

Spector joins a Bills team led by Josh Allen that went 11-6 last season with a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs.

He started two seasons for the Tigers, working his way into earning consistent playing time. Once he became a starter, he was a solid piece of some great Clemson defenses.

In his career at Clemson, he totaled 210 career tackles with 22.0 tackles for loss and nine sacks. He was also credited with four forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, three pass break ups and an interception.

Spector will look to work his way into some consistent playing time like he has before.

Desmond Ridder guaranteed a Super Bowl for the Falcons, proving he doesn’t know they’re the Falcons

Does Ridder remember 28-3? He probably should!

One of the best passers in a not-great 2022 Draft quarterback class, Desmond Ridder was always going to be someone worth staking a future on.

The Falcons, currently entrusting their QB1 spot to Marcus Mariota, took the plunge on Ridder’s potential. Atlanta used the No. 74 overall pick of the third round on the former Cincinnati standout. He’ll need time to develop and get comfortable, but it’s a solid pick for Atlanta if they’re willing to be patient and careful.

In some of his first comments as the Falcons’ hopeful quarterback of the future, Ridder did not mince his words or hold back any confidence:

He essentially guaranteed a Super Bowl. For the Falcons. Uh, alright, man?

Far be it from me to question the self-belief of a professional athlete, but does Ridder know what team drafted him? After watching this clip, I have some doubts.

As good as Ridder might eventually be, the Falcons aren’t exactly known for their Big Game prowess. (Insert 28-3 joke here.) Nor are they known for competence with just about … anything. In all honesty, they might even be cursed.

Suppose Ridder turns out to be the one that finally breaks the Atlanta pro football hex. Good for him! He might be the first person — Atlanta included — to actually believe in the Falcons. That takes courage and is worthy of praise.

I’ll reserve further judgment on his lofty wager with Atlanta. For now.

Twitter reacts: Andrew Booth Jr. falls to Vikings

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. hearing his name called in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Former Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. was the first Tiger to hear his name called in the 2022 NFL Draft after the Minnesota Vikings selected him at No. 42.

Despite being projected as a first-round selection in most mock drafts, Booth ultimately had to wait until day two to be drafted. He was the sixth cornerback selected in the Draft, with Derek Stingley Jr. (Houston Texans) and Sauce Gardner (New York Jets) highlighting the group ahead of him.

Injury concerns seemed to play a factor in Booth’s fall, as he underwent sports hernia surgery in March. Still, the second-round selection is an impressive accomplishment for a promising, young player with plenty of upside.

With the pick, the Vikings could have a day-one starter opposite of veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson.

Here’s what people on Twitter had to say about the Clemson Tiger heading to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
