    You do realize that if those guys slip to us, that means there are issues, correct?  Allen's shoulders are apparently pretty bad and we all know the issues with Foster.  If they're at 16, there's a reason, and I don't see any good reasons for them to be there.

    Sure. However, I trust that if they slip and we pick them up our scouting department's due diligence is the best out there and I trust them more than the other 15 teams that pick ahead of us. Moreover, do you forget we are among the very few teams that has its own research for the draft unlike most teams that subscribe to external services for draft information and research? Only the Colts and the Ravens in the top 16 do their own research as well but I trust our scouting department a whole lot more. The Ravens are only one of five teams that do their own draft research and scouting vs subscribing to external services such as Blesto and National. So, if they fall I believe we'll know a lot more about it than some of the teams that may have passed them over.

    Umm no from what I heard 

    It's between 

    Rueben Foster, Hassan Reddick, Forrest Lamp, Corey Davis might come down to the last 2 I named. 

    If you've heard you've been smoke screened!;)

    And I will be drinking Peppermint Schanpps and calling for Ozzie's head.

    This is my way of coping with potential disappointment should the Ravens actually take Cam Robinson. I tell myself he is the pick till such time he isn't. Then all is well and I drink Peppermint Schnapps and praise the Lord and Ozzie!

    Still going with Conley that high in light of the recent news?

    That was my only gripe with this draft... I don't think Conley makes the first round unless all charges are dismissed tomorrow morning.

    I like Garret's mock. Clearly thought out obviously and displayed football knowledge. Ryan's first round pick is fine but the rest of them are just either reaches or he has no clue. I don't think Pocic lasts till pick 122! That alone tells me he hasn't spent the time think this draft through like Garret has. Based on last year, it is a no brainer that Garret's should be taken more seriously. I have learned to trust Garret on this website because Ryan takes too many short cuts even with spell checking his own articles.

    This is the year we need to take risks with talented players. Enough with recruiting special team aces that can also play positional football. We need difference makers and the only shot we have at getting them is if they fall off draft boards because of character concerns. We have a huge scouting network so do your research Ravens and get these guys if you believe they can be improved and changed. Don't let Harbaugh or anybody else dictate who we draft this year. We need talent especially in the first round. If Foster falls to us, it'll be totally unacceptable not to draft him because of character issues.
