The 2022 NFL Draft was marked by notable missteps, with many first-round picks not living up to expectations. This draft class saw the selection of Kenny Pickett in the first round and the Ravens securing two Pro Bowlers in Kyle Hamilton and Tyler Linderbaum. However, 15 players from the first round are either no longer with their original teams or out of the league.
