Good problem to have....

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Shortly after the Baltimore Ravens wrapped up their 2022 draft, general manager Eric DeCosta pointed to the investing philosophy of business magnate Warren Buffett.

"If you think the player's value is greater than where he is available, you take him," DeCosta said four years ago. "That's what we do."

Even Buffett would be hard-pressed to get this type of return.

For a group headlined by safety Kyle Hamilton and center Tyler Linderbaum, the Ravens' 2022 draft class cashed in big-time, totaling $300 million on their second contracts -- many of which were signed this offseason.

The Ravens can take pride in how they developed these prospects into the top players at their positions. But Baltimore is now dealing with a feeling of loss after watching many of these players from this draft class land big-money contracts elsewhere. Of the 11 players drafted by the Ravens in 2022, only two remain: Hamilton and nose tackle Travis Jones.

"I'm proud of the fact that everybody spends money on our players," DeCosta said, "but it's tough."

In 25 years of following Viking drafts online there's only been 2 instances where I absolutely knew the Vikings were screwed.

1. Christian ponder

2. 2022 kwesi first draft

As a fan, ya think, well maybe I don't know, or we've got to let things play out, maybe they'll develop. But I'm both cases I knew they were drawing dead. Just couldn't shake the feeling that the Vikings had missed badly.

On the flip side of that as fan i absolutely knew moss, Peterson harvin were gonna be amazing.

It works both ways.
