22. Baltimore Ravens: Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
In need of wide receiver help, the Baltimore Ravens are going to have a tough decision to make. On the clock at No. 22, there are two solid options: Jalin Hyatt from Tennessee and Jaxon Smith-Njigba from Ohio State.
Smith-Njigba is the better overall prospect and route runner whereas Hyatt is a burner that can stretch the defense. But the real concern has to be health.

JSN missed most of the 2022 season and with Rashod Bateman already dealing with injury concerns, the Ravens decide to go for Hyatt — but at least he’s no consolation prize. He needs to work on his technique but this kid could turn into a star with the right coaching.

23. Minnesota Vikings: Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame
Both Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith are very talented pass rushers but they’re also both short-term answers for the Minnesota Vikings. Hunter will be in the final year of his deal and has had some serious injuries to deal with. Smith is over 30 and is under contract through just 2024.
Enter Isaiah Foskey from Notre Dame. He can work as a third pass rusher during his rookie season and then allow Minnesota to move on from Hunter in 2024. By the time Smith leaves in 2025, he’ll be entering his prime.
