As a result, he is currently being booed at Comerica Park, almost on a nightly basis.The more you struggle, the more frustrated people become. Weve got to focus on solutions.

Atlanta made Ridder the second quarterback off the board and the first taken on day two. He was selected over , Ole Mi s's Matt Corral, and North Carolina's Sam Howell, among others. Was this the correct decision?Grading the Ridder PickOne indisputable fact about Desmond Ridder: he wins football games. While at Cincinnati, Ridder and the Bearcats went 44-6, including back-to-back trips
Johnny Bench Jersey to New Year's Six bowl games, featuring a trip to the College Football Playoff in 2021.Standing 6-3, 207-pounds with 10-inch hands, Ridder has an athletic frame that was backed up by his 4.49 40-yard dash time. Ridder also has exceptional intangibles, as those around him praise his intelligence and character.Des is just a phenomenal leader. Hes helped my game in every way, Ridder's backup . If you watch practice, youll see that when Im taking reps, hes standing right behind me. If I have questions, I can ask him anything. (Cincinnati OC and QB's Coach) Gino (Guidugli) will even let him run the QB meetings just so we can pick his brain. Hes helped me tremendously. I just love having him here. I love that he came back.Scroll to ContinueOn the football field, Ridder has above-average athleticism and a strong arm. He's well-regarded as a
Blank Jersey strong competitor and post-snap proce sor, and he has a very quick release.Ridder has experience working under center, and his work on play action bootlegs will fit in well in Falcons Head Coach and play caller Arthur Smith's offense:The primary drawback in Ridder's game is his sporadic ball placement. He frequently makes receivers work too hard to catch the football and doesn't maximize their run-after-catch potential. Atlanta will be hoping Ridder can make a Josh Allen-esque jump in accuracy.Ridder has the athleticism, arm talent, and intangibles to start in the NFL. He's inconsistent with his accuracy, and ball placement is a
Trevor Bauer Jersey difficult trait to drastically improve, but Atlanta didn't reach. They pa sed on Ridder twice on day two, and didn't feel the need to move up for him, choosing to addre s holes on defense after adding USC's Drake London in the first round.If Ridder hits his ceiling, Atlanta will get their long-term answer at QB for a very cheap price.

#49Pos: iDLHt: 6031Wt: 285Hometown: Gardena, CAHigh School: LawndaleEligibility: 2023The upside is there for Tuipulotu to be a really good pa s rushing 3-tech at the next level, he just needs to improve his play strength and play against the run. The first step quickne s and explosion Tuipulotu po se ses from the inside is excellent. He has the natural ability to get after the quarterback from the 3-tech spot. His ability to convert speed to power is elite and he has violent hands to disrupt offensive guards. Tuipulotu
Bartolo Colon Jersey already has a solid pa s rush repertoire from the inside and outside, which is hard to find from only a two year player. He is a very explosive linear athlete, who is just scratching the surface of what he can become as a pa s rusher. There are
Delino DeShields Jersey some wow reps on his film, where he blows a guard off his spot and then uses his natural speed to wreak havoc in the backfield. Tuipulotu is able to convert pre sures into sacks from the inside, which is another great quality to have. Last season USC played Tuipulotu on the inside as a 3-tech and as a standup rusher from the outside. If he gets more reps from the inside this
Taylor Hearn Jersey season, Tuipulotu will be able to show what he is fully capable of from the inside. For Tuipulotu to reach his potential, he is going to need to add play strength. He isnt as big as his listed weight and it shows at times in the run game. He can get washed out of plays and Tuipulotu doesnt po se s the lower body strength to anchor down and hold his spot. That prevents him from stacking and shedding defenders. Tuipulotu will flash the ability to make plays in the run game, he just wont be able to play at the next level until he adds play strength and weight. Once he does that, Tuipulotu could develop into a three down player, with high-level pa s rush ability. Those kinds of players are hard to find but Tuipulotu will need to show that he can add weight and still keep his quickne s and explosion from the inside. 3rd RoundScroll to ContinueTuli Tuipulotu
Darwin Barney Jersey is a tremendous defensive lineman for the Torjans and will be a defensive standout in 2022. Looking at his past records for the Trojans, he was
Drew Smyly Jersey one of the top lineman in the nation, where he started all twelve games for the team. He was a 2021 All Pac 12 First Team and the USC Defensive Lineman of the Year Award. In 2020, he was All American Second Team and was a standout in high school at Lawndale High School. Tuipulotu has an extensive family background in football where his brother played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Currently, Tuli Tuipulotu is a communication major at USC.
The AFC South has bounced back -- sort of.The division had long been the butt of jokes thanks to the frequent losing ways, off-field dramatics and lackluster postseason performances from its four inhabitants.But entering 2022, the division has a bit more respect thanks to a string of strong seasons from the Tenne see Titans and Indianapolis Colts. The Jacksonville Jaguars are now led by a Super Bowl-winning head coach, while the Houston Texans have an experienced head coach in Lovie Smith.With the AFC South set to be a tightly-contested battle between its four teams this season, we are going to take a unit-by-unit approach to compare each team and how they stack up for the 2022 season.For the purpose of context, we are ranking units and players based on how we project they will play in the 2022 season.Next, we move on to the four general managers commanding each front office in the
Curtis Granderson Jersey AFC South. Between Trent Baalke, Jon Robinson, Nick Caserio, and Chris Ballard, who comes out on top?Scroll to Continue4) Nick Caserio, Houston TexansThere is no question that Nick Caserio walked into a bad situation in Houston. The team was reeling from the end of the dysfunctional Bill O'Brien era, Jack Easterby's odd presence was still impactful and the team was set to trade its franchise quarterback. Still, we now have two offseasons
Kyle Barraclough Jersey of work to base Caserio's job performance on thus far, and so far he and the Texans haven't made many moves to suggest they will crawl back to contending anytime soon.Houston spent money on low-tier free agents during both the 2021 and 2022 free agency periods, signing dozens of players but mostly signing players who wouldn't start on playoff-caliber teams. He worked with limited a serts in the 2021 draft but Davis Mills, Nico Collins and Brevin Jordan could turn out to be useful players, albeit not game-changers. Then in 2022, he reached in the first-round for Kenyon Green at No. 15 and made a risky move selecting John Metchnie at No. 44. So far, the book on Caserio has been so-so.3) Trent Baalke, Jacksonville JaguarsJaguars general manager Trent Baalke entered this offseason as one of the most embattled general managers in the NFL, which portions of the Jaguars' own fan base and large sections of local media speaking out against his role at the top of the front
Jorge Alfaro Jersey office hierarchy. Fans pointed to roster mismanagement in free agency and the draft during his two years employed by the team (one year as general manager), while national media pointed to his le s-than-sterling reputation among other executives and agents.Baalke survived the onslaught of reports, though, and is entering his second season as general manager, this time at the side of new head coach Doug Pederson. Baalke is ahead of Caserio on this list for a few reasons. Firstly, his tenure with the 49ers alone is more than anything Caserio has accomplished as a general manager. Secondly, his 2021 draft alone stands out thanks to picks like Tyson Campbell, Andre Cisco and potentially Walker Little and Travis Etienne. Baalke had a lot of draft capital to work with, but he did find impact players.The negatives to the Baalke tenure have been mismanagement in free agency more than anything else. The Jaguars overpaid for role players in 2021 and signed bottom-tier free agents at every offensive skill position as opposed to building around No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence. And three of Baalke's four non-Lawrence top-33 picks have been used on defense, with Baalke instead looking to make risky moves to bolster the defense as opposed to putting a complete offense around Lawrence.2) Chris Ballard, Indianapolis ColtsA true media darling among general managers, you will frequently find lists that have Chris Ballard as one of the top general managers in the entire NFL. Ballard has certainly
Martin Prado Jersey found some succe s since being hired in 2017 and the retirement of Andrew Luck was a tough card to be dealt. In that span, he has made some stellar moves (drafting Quenton Nelson and Darious Leonard, hiring Frank Reich following the Josh McDaniels fiasco).But there have also been some non-stellar moves, with few big free-agency splashes, some key mi ses in the draft and a big swing and mi s at Carson Wentz. The Colts are 41-40 under Ballard, which feels just about right for the kind of moves he has made over the last five seasons. The Wentz trade was always a disastrous idea, even if Ballard did get some picks back in return. Until he finds the Colts a quarterback, he will likely be No. 2 here.1) Jon Robinson, Tenne see TitansIt is ironic to land Jon Robinson No. 1 on this list after some of his comments have landed him in hot water with some seconds of the football community, but the results speak for themselves. In six years with the Titans, Robinson has never seen the Titans finish worse than 9-7, going 59-38 in that span despite having the Colts and Texans both fielding solid teams during the period.Robinson has made his fair share of mistakes. The Titans look foolish for not paying A.J. Brown, trading for Julio Jones, drafting
J. T. Realmuto Jersey Isaiah Wilson, and likely will look foolish in the near future for paying Ryan Tannehill. But Robinson has turned the Titans into a solid team at worst and a team capable of taking down the AFC's top teams at best. Until the Titans start losing, he is the best general manager in the AFC South.
Quality offensive line depth is the rarest find in the NFL since the free agency era began, which is what makes what the Buffalo Bills have
Trevor Williams Jersey done recently in that area all that more remarkable.Thursday, they added to an already strong collection by signing veteran free agent David Que senberry, whom they're calling a guard but last season started every game for the Tenne see Titans at right tackle.His addition means the Bills have five reserve offensive linemen (Que senberry, Ike Boettger, Greg Mancz, Cody Ford and Bobby Hart) who have combined to start 168 regular-season games. All save Hart have starting playoff experience as well.Que senberry comes with a unique story. Because he struggled early in his career on top of
Joe Musgrove Jersey being diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma after being drafted by the Houston Texans in 2013, he didn't play in his first game until 2017 and didn't start his first one until 2020, his second season with the Titans."Basically that fight took about three years," Que senberry told reporters in a Zoom pre s conference Thursday afternoon."That was a mountain to climb around in my career, and
Bryan Reynolds Jersey thankfully we beat it, we overcame it and, you know, we're in a really good place now. We putsome really goodyears together and now we're looking to keep that rolling up here in Buffalo."Scroll to ContinueRELATED: The Bills say
Jose Osuna Jersey they haven't handed the right guard spot to Ryan Bates, but after matching the offer sheet he signed with the Chicago Bears as a free agent, they don't expect him to lose grip of the job that he will start the offseason with after emerging as the top guard on their depth chart by the end of last season.Newcomer Saffold, who also played with Que senberry on the Titans' line last season, will start on the left side. Left tackle Dion Dawkins, right tackle Spencer Brown and center Mitch Morse comprise the rest of the starters, giving the Bills and new offensive line coach give Aaron Kromer perhaps more overall talent to work with than any team in the

Dwight Smith Jr. Jersey Badie said."I played at Northwest Regional Park, for the Wolfpack, so, its just weird. I havent been back in 11 years, so being back now is just Everything is different nicer buildings. I remember the train station was kind of the rundown part, but now its all

I just saw him, and I just kind of gave him his space. But as a young kid, I was excited for sure. And then I went to Ed Reeds camp in Randallstown, like right down the street. I got an autograph from him, so that was pretty cool, too.Badie also played lacro se while he lived in Baltimore and became a legitimate Division I prospect, drawing attention fromLoyola University Maryland and the
Dan Straily Jersey University of Maryland. He modeled his game after Duke midfielder Myles Jones.So, I went to Friends School of Baltimore, which is like right down the street," Badie said. "And thats when Cyrus Jones was around there, so everyone was at Gilman cheering on Cyrus Jones. And we only had like 20 people at our school, so I played lacro se, so that was my big go-to. I played AAU lacro se and travel lacro se, so I was going to play lacro se in college if I would have stayed, because with 15 people on the football team, people are not looking to give out offers like that.

NASHVILLE Kyle Philips clearly understands the philosophy of the team that drafted him.A very productive wide receiver
Colorado Rockies Jersey and punt returner at UCLA, the Tenne see Titans rookie nonethele s steered the conversation in a different direction when asked about the strengths of his game.I would say number one, just blocking, Philips said, and then just being a mismatch, going against man-to-man.That the 5-foot-11, 189-pound Philips mentioned blocking before anything else might sound surprising, but it does make sense on a couple of levels.First, Philips comes from a ground-centric offense at UCLA, as the Bruins ran the football on 59 percent of their offensive plays in 2021 (22nd in the nation) and 60 percent of their offensive plays in 2020 (16th in the nation).Second, Philips knows how much the Titans prioritize blocking at the wide-receiver position, given that Tenne sees run-heavy offense is fueled by tailback Derrick Henry.What came most naturally for me (during the Titans offseason) is just the receiver support in the run game here, Philips said. Thats something that translated perfectly from UCLA. Maybe some teams dont have their receivers blocking. But here were a big factor in the run game, so thats something I feel like Ive been able to just step right into and feel comfortable.The Titans hope and expectation, of course, is that Philips will be using his hands to do more than push aside defenders in the coming season.He may make a
Mark Reynolds Jersey special-teams impact even before he does so on offense, as the fifth-round draft pick returned (19.3-yard average) and two touchdowns at UCLA. Philips only returned nine punts in 2021, which didnt qualify him to rank among the in that category. But his 22.6-yard average was seven yards better than NCAA leader Jaylin Lane of Middle Tenne see State.Its no surprise that special-teams coordinator Craig Aukerman is eager to see Philips in action.Scroll to ContinueThe Titans have only once in the last decade finished in the NFLs top 10 in punt-return average. That happened last season when Chester Rogers whos no longer on the roster finished ninth at 9.8 yards per return.Kyle brings a lot of good things for us, and the one thing we liked watching him at
Chris Iannetta Jersey UCLA is when he caught the ball, he would run and get vertical, Aukerman said. There wasnt a lot of dancing around, trying to make too many moves. He was just going to catch it and go upfield.Added Philips: Being a returner, you dont have a lot of time to go sideline to sideline, so youve just got to be one cut, make the first guy
Ian Desmond Jersey mi s, read the blocks and go from there.Philips quick feet, precision route-running and ability to beat man-to-man coverage make him a natural for the slot-receiver position, where he played almost exclusively at UCLA.The Titans would love to see the kind of productivity from the slot that Philips displayed in college. He with 10 touchdowns on 59 catches in 2021, averaging a TD every 5.9 receptions. Kyles definitely a great route runner, quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. Hes got some quickne s, some agility, (and Im) getting to learn his craft as he learns our offense and sees where he fits in.But
Scott Oberg Jersey definitely hes flashed for me a few times and (Ive) seen some good things. So, Ill definitely keep the pre sure on him as he learns what were doing, and I think if he does that, hell continue to make plays.Philips said his challenge for training camp is to master the playbook, which will allow him to play at a faster pace.One thing he doesnt need to learn: the importance of blocking.Its definitely something I take pride in, Philips said. Coming from UCLA, if you werent blocking, you werent going to be on the field. Its something I enjoy doing. I like being able to make plays for other people.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. The Ravens have traditionally been willing to move back in the NFL draft to add additional picks.However, they could buck that trend this year and move up to take a playmaker."The Baltimore Ravens, another team that has made calls about potentially moving up in the draft," NFL Insider .Baltimore currently has 10 selections in this year's draft,

He has quick feet and numerous pa s-rush moves to shed blockers. Johnson Johnson also excels against the run, which adds more value. Derek Stingley Jr., cornerback, LSUAnalysis: Stingley is the highest-ranked cornerback in the draft, according to several
Gio Gonzalez Jersey experts. He is a smart player that rarely gets caught out of the position and has the athleticism to make plays on the ball. Stingley would satisfy a huge need for the Ravens, especially if Peters is still hampered by a knee injury that kept him out last season.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. The Ravens have three former first-round picks at cornerback Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters and newly signed
Adeiny Hechavarria Jersey Kyle Fuller.All three have the Pro Bowl over their careers.Each of them has the ability to change the complexion of the game.
