Tyler Badie
RB - BAL
2022 Outlook
Tyler Badie tied Kenneth Walker III in rushes of 10-plus yards (46) to lead the 2022 Draft Class. The undersized explosive running back enjoyed a breakout season in his final season at Missouri stepping out of Larry Roundtree's shadow. His 916 yards after contact ranked fifth-best in the class.
Quite the feat for a sub-200 pound running back. But what's more impressive is Badie's 124 catches during his four-year tenure in college - capped off by 52 receptions in 2021. That was the highest mark among all 2022 draft-eligible backs.
There's no guarantee that either J.K. Dobbins or Gus Edwards will come out the gates hot coming off torn ACLs, so the 2021 sixth-rounder could see a larger role than many would expect from a Day 3 selection. At worst, he'd be my favorite to emerge as the No. 3 RB because I have zero faith in either Mike Davis/Justice Hill maintaining any consistent role on the Ravens offense.
Sixth round pick, Badie saw the most screen targets of any RB in this rookie class last year (27), he converted them into; 23 receptions (1st) for 162 YDs (2nd), 2 TDs(2nd), 2.49 Y/RR (3rd) per @PopesFFH. He also led the SEC in rushing with 1604 yards.
Positives - Great Production in the SEC, Great Pass Catcher and route runner, Stronger than expected for his size, Good speed
Negatives - Undersized, Vision is hit or miss, Willing but not great in pass-pro, not much special teams experience
