The 2022 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday evening and buzz is generating about potential big trades. Nobody is certain what will happen in the first round but it sounds like two teams are rumored to be making a big move in the first round. The Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens are rumored to be looking to make a big trade in the draft.
According to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the Eagles and Ravens are two teams to watch for in the first round of the NFL Draft. Both of these franchises are in a spot to make a big move on Thursday night. Each sound like they're interested in moving up in the draft, which would be exciting, to say the least.

The Eagles have two picks in the first round of the NFL Draft. Meanwhile, the Ravens have just one. Even so, both clubs have legitimate draft capital this year and could be in for a historic evening on Thursday. Philadelphia could go any route, as they could be interested in selecting a wide receiver or defensive player. For Baltimore, the front office likely has their eyes set on one of the top pass rushers available.
It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. There isn't a ton of buzz-generating about teams moving up into the top 10 of the NFL Draft. For that reason, the Eagles and Ravens may drum up some excitement for the early portion of the evening. Keep an eye on both of these clubs, as they're each set up to make a big move in the first round of the draft.
