  1. Corey Davis is my favorite WR in the draft and would like him at 16. But in what way do you compare him to Chad Johnson?? I compare him to WRs like Amari Cooper, bigger Jeremy Maclin and even Terrell Owens with how he can win with route separation/size/run after the catch elusiveness for a big WR.
  2. Trade Down 1 David Njoku 2Carl Lawson/Tim Williams/Charles Harris in that order of bpa 2JuJu/Ardarius Stewart splitting hairs 3Antonio Garcia 3Dorian Johnson Have to give Joe some weapons and a competent to dominant line
  3. True, However he is correct on Bolles. He is as fast, flexible, nasty and athletic a tackle you will find! If Bolles were stronger and grown into his frame like 310-315 range he would be a top5 pick. And probably Would go directly after Myles Garrett.
  4. Try going with Pete Carroll smokescreen. Didn't even take him in round2. A good 3 cone but his numbers outside of that were pedestrian. And 3cone is far from tell all. You have some non mobile QBs posting great 3 cones. In 4-3 alignments strength wasn't his game. Now you are talking about playing him in a 3-4 where more is required. Length isn't jack if he isn't stout enough. Harbaugh said he looks good. Good as in bulked up for interior line?Lost some weight for edge rushing?Not saying lot
  5. I like Charles Harris better than most here. But mid round one is little high for him. I could actually see Foster falling. A one year player who is a touch on smallish side. He is compared to Willis Bowman who play slightly more physical than Kuechly and Mosley. But he isn't quite as big as those players. So he could fall to 13-20 range
  6. Dorian Johnson is an all around Guard/center that may be able to play RT. He is very athletic for zone schemes and he can drive his opponent off the ball. He isn't in any mocks and nobody is talking about him. He may be better than Lamp who is overrated in my opinion. Lamp can play in the NFL. But the Zack Martin comparisons are totally ludicrous my opinion. The edge rushers from IL. have potential. Phillips and Smoot. Need to add a little power but are very athletic flexible and explosive. At this point are only 3-4 rush olbs. Have to get stronger before playing on the line across from 315lb lineman
  7. Myles Garrett. His matchup with Stanley will be interesting. But Browns will move him around. We need to find a really good RT HN brought up a good point. A good safety on the Bengals would negate the deep throws. And that is trouble when there is no receiver known for early separation and nobody to make tough traffic catches. I hope Bengals draft Barnett. He is a technician and a touch on the small side. Stanley handles technicians quite well. He is ready for mostly any move. Stanley would swallow Barnett up with no problem. Barnett to Bengals is likely Mcdowell is a touch overrated at this point. But he will likely feast on weak offensive lines. He will be trouble unless ravens address the the offensive line.
  8. If Davis isn't available at 16 then we should trade down. There isn't anybody there that we couldn't get him/equal player later. And could really use extra top50/top90 picks
  9. I agree!! One of my favorite players in the draft!! It would be so totally cool if we got him in round2. He is a little under the radar. So we can trade back to late round1 and get him there or at 47. Unless Corey Davis/Foster is there at 16 I'm in favor of trading back and picking up some extra picks. And Lawson is one of the players ravens should target in round 2. He could be available in early round2 but. Not a chance he is available later.
  10. Who obliterated our Left Tackle one year ago? I agree on evaluating traits over performance. Especially with tackles coaching in college being terrible. Not many tackles can play as a rookie. If Barnett and Cam play couple yrs later it could be a different game. Many tackles are backups while needing coaching refinement and often needing to get stronger. David Baktarhi is an example.
  11. Feeney will be a great center!! Not his college position but he could play center position at all pro level.
  12. A team wants trade up for a QB. Ravens trade down to late round 1 and pick up an extra round 2 and maybe round3. Giving us 2 round2 picks and 3 round3 picks. And load up on top50 talents like JuJu/Ardarius Stewart, Moton, Conley,White,Njoku/Engram,Jarred Davis,Carl Lawson/Charles Harris/Tim Williams,Ogunjobi . Some examples of the players available!
  13. If Foster/Corey Davis is there we have to reel them in
  14. That is an awesome mock. Garcia needs to bulk up for NFL but has everything you want in your Right Tackle.
  15. CBS, espn NFL bleacher report have all speculated. I like Boldin. One of my favorites. But don't want him back. Prefer the 23 yr old version Boldin. Jeremy Maclin is very realistic. KC likes its young WRs and with cap situation could trade him.
  16. Y would you figure that??
  17. You play that crap?
  18. You talk like it's a bad idea. You don't like 27 yr old All pro playmakers??Adding Gronk makes no sense? If he were 33 yrs old and cut then it would make sense right?? Cite who?? Seriously?? Google Gronk Trade and see what you find. Not saying it's going to happen but Belichick is making a lot of moves. He could be changing the offense altogether. How do you fit in all those weapons. Edelman, Hogan, The ascending Mitchell, Allen, Cooks, Gronk. Similar to when Moss was traded when Gronk/Hernandez arrived and patriots moved to a 2TE offense.
  19. Belichick is known for trading players more than anybody. Trading Gronk out of nowhere wouldn't surprise.
  20. Patriots won without him. And with latest injury Belichick may want to unload his salary. Not likely. But many are speculating Belichick at least considering trading Gronk. With injuries he will not command round1 pick. A round2 could maybe pull it off. Whatever the % chance is. Adding Gronk would be awesome for the offense.
  21. Our TE's have little to zero trade value. Max is only one anybody could have interest in. He has very good skill level but everything I read says he is lazy with poor workout and eating habits. He coasted on natural skill in college. It's a shame to cuz he has top5 TE raw skill level. He is fast and slippery for a big TE that is slightly out of shape. He has awesome hands and ball skills. And he has very good instincts and reading of coverage. He knows where to go and settle in. If he worked like Gronk he could challenge for all pro. At 6'5 255lbs he could run and play at 4.58-4.63 range with silky smooth slippery style. Raven offense counting him getting his act together. If we did trade for Gronk and Max adopted his work ethic could you imagine our offense? Then Boyle playing fullback with Dixon an elite receiving threat. And that is before factoring in the WR's. As in drafting Ardarius Stewart/JuJu/Davis. And maybe Chris Moore coming to his own. Lots Potential
  22. Why do you say zero chance?? Patriots won without him(granted lot of luck involved) and Bill Belichick more or less tolerates Gronks style. Bill didn't like his latest antics getting involved in wwe wrestle mania. His style fits ravens more than patriots. Don't mistake his partying for drama players. Gronk is the first to practice and train and the last to leave. The dude works harder than even Tom Brady. May not trade him to rival but Belichick can be pretty arrogant and trade him then try to contain him!!
  23. Not at all.Dont be absurd. What makes you me anybody a homer is biased opinions. Like moving a player up 100 spots on your draft board after your team drafts him. Convincing yourself your players are better than opponents based on who plays for your team. Over confident in your teams projections. Convincing yourself an expensive free agent isn't a good addition on your team because you know your team isn't going to sign him. While knowing you would do cartwheels if your team actually signed him. lol Some examples of being homeristic.
  24. So what are some thoughts if we could bring in Maclin for a round4 draft pick? He is 28 and a better more physical route runner than Wallace. He has some SS/Boldin toughness in traffic. He is elusive after the catch as well. He is fast and shifty for that early separation needed to move the chains. And has the big play speed and ball skills. Maclin gives Ravens better than average WR's at least. With a chance to have a great unit if One of Perriman/Moore take his game to starter caliber.
