    Juju is a freaking beast. He's my ideal receiver, He's big and long and extremely fast and leaps out of the stadium, but what i really love is his suddenness and how aggresively he catches the ball, he will be every bit as good as aj green if not better because I think He looks more explosive.

    Agreed. Before I dove into this class I looked at highlights and was so disappointed finding out he's not eligible. He's going to be a star, good comp.

    I like him. He understands pass rushing. He isn't some specimen who jumps off the tape but he's impressive because he's a squeaky clean pass rusher in college and you don't see him trying to fly around the edge or bullrush every snap because he plays the OT like chess, he gets his advantage by timing the snap and then he's not scared to lose the corner by making a move, he will stutter step and slow up the OTs drop, he'll throw a hand and speed up to make the OT commit with the intention of cutting back inside etc etc.. He is one of the smarter pass rushers in the class, he doesn't need to be a workout warrior to succeed I think.

    Read something somewhere saying he & Bosa had the most QB pressures throughout college careers, out of all prospects.

     

    Wouldn't mind taking both if available.

    Our o-line is one our weakest units. We need major help in the trenches. Our running backs will suffer this year as a result. 

    Sadly agree. I'm conflicted on Monroe since I don't like him at all anymore. He's more focused on other things and just doesn't play like a Raven. Been a major bust and I rather see him gone. Just wish there was a better option at this point.

    Zuttah is meh. Urshel/Jenson could be nice at guard but still a massive downgrade from K.O. 

    Wagner can be a great RT but moving him to left intrigues me. We will only be able to find out how he looks once TC comes around. I figured they would give him a look, hopefully he can be the answer. Then the question would be RT and I would hate it if we're forced to move Yanda there. Hurst could take the next step but that's taking a big leap of faith. 

     

    Shaky o-line doesn't give me much confidence. Hoping we land at least 1 starter in the draft. DB, WR and o line is our weakest units, IMO.

    Ok so first off I have to question lumping Jeffrey in with Dez there's a gap of probably 20 players between those 2. If you are saying treadwell style wise maybe there's some comparison there but I just find rating him this high very suspect. I don't see nearly that type of ceiling. He's a guy that's going to be slow and have problems separating. That's a pretty major issue. It's just not the year with a Julio jones right here in the top 5. 

     

    Elliott on the other hand if we are going to go with a skill player which is doubtful a far and away the best rb in this class and best in many classes. He has speed agility. Toughness in the hole. Vision. Explosion. He can receive and block. So we're talking a three down difference maker who can impact a game like lev bell. 

    I see his ceiling as Dez, Alshon his floor. Both worthy of a 6th pick IMO. Even somewhere in the middle of them would make a great #1. Agreed he's not on Julio's level. I don't think anyone is when you talk about pure all around dominance.

    Being only 20 he has plenty of time to sharpen his route running. When he does he can be a force. Hard to jam him at the line, great hands, feet and frame, will win contested balls - so separation is not a huge concern for me. Having a receiver who can just pluck the ball & use their size & strength for YAC would be great to have.

     

    Elliot is a beast and would make a huge impact on any team, I just don't value the position as much as WR. They're more reliant at their main job with the OL infront of them, which fluctuates annually. As where we have the steady constant Joe, combined with a #1 would maximize all opportunities, regardless of how the game dictates or personnel along the OL. WR's have longer life spans as well.

     

    I would rather have Ramsey, Jack, Tunsil or Bosa over Treadwell. Wouldn't complain with Buckner but it's close for me.

    Go to notification settings and the option to get notified for a quote should be there. Everyone has to do it manually after a minor adjustment to the boards.

    You're not the only one experiencing the quote problem, and it's been brought up a few times - sadly to no avail yet. If it helps, you can select the top left corner of the quote box and that should make it easier to delete. But I agree that's something that needs to be looked it. If nothing else, it'd be nice to at least have the option to use the old IP Mobile Board - made browsing much simpler.

    Thanks for letting me know about notification change. You'd think something as important as that for a forum would just happen automatically...

     

    No use for it if I can't reply without my previous quotes spamming me.

    Yup, all crap.  Why would you change something to a much more inferior version is beyond me.  Statistics show that almost 70% of all web browsing is done by a phone these days.  Yet, NFL/Ravens (whoever) decided it was prudent to nix the fast IP Board Mobile option?  Smart! 

    Totally agree with you. If they're smart it will be completely revamped again. I expect the number of users & activity to steadily decline.

     

    It's not that I hate change, I just don't welcome unnecessary & illogical modifications being disguised as upgrades when a large % of overall users are getting screwed. All for the sake of what? Is it  contractually binded to use this particular program or is it 'keeping up' with other NFL official forums that run this horror show as well?

    Only way I know if someone quotes me is if I go back and look. No notification updates. 

     

    And when I try to respond on a thread that I've previously replied on, all my old text and previous quote auto fills & I can't delete the whole thing to post again. 

     

    Im on iPhone and punctuation randomly doesn't autocorrect  

     

    Browsing is much worse. Takes much longer to scroll through. 

     

    Its frustrating crap

    Because the horribly ran board has terrible notification/quote bugs that won't allow me to post new text without previous random auto filled crap. But it's ok since all the other team websites have this crappy layout so let's just conform and not complain     · Report post

    Treadwell at 6?  If we are going to take a skill player Elliott is far and away way bigger impact than treadwell. 

    Disagree. Treadwell would be perfect for our offense. A Dez/Jeffery potential would make a more positive impact with Forsett/Buck/whoever than Elliot with Aiken?/Perriman/whoever. (thinking long term here)

    Highly skilled WR's with big ceilings/low floor are way more coveted than RB's with the same. I love Elliot but drafting a RB in the top half of the 1st is gross unless they're insanely talented and it's a weak class. 

    So as you can see, I'm higher on Treadwell's potential than most, and especially if it's with us. Give Joe someone young & legit outside who we can depend on during his prime years, build chemistry with and not labor as hard.

     

    With Wallace signed, I'm dubious we'd draft him now. I'm not comfortable with current core. I'm also tired of the revolving door at such a pivotal position. In a year Smith will be gone. Aiken will be a FA. Perriman is still a major question mark. Wallace a 1 trick pony whose best attribute is in steady decline. & Camp got hurt reading this....

    Not fair Joe can't get a steady group to throw to for consecutive years. Tread is a future #1 in my eyes. Assuming no trades, it's our last chance to get one for who knows how long. 

    ------------------------------------------

     

    @RavensDieHard21

    Strongly disagree. I expect him to land with either Ravens, Buccs, Giants, Saints, Lions, or Falcons. Could see a trade up for him maybe.
