Even though he doesnt know how to do much else than pass rush? Also he has question marks about character and Football IQ
He's got elite pass rush talent... incredible explosion, quickness, can bend, win inside or out and has power for his size.
His run defense is underrated. He just didn't have much of an opportunity to show it.
The character doesn't concern me. By all accounts he's a great teammate and loves football. I'm confident that the experience of being widely considered a lock first round pick to now possibly dropping to the 2nd or even 3rd round will scare him straight. He saw what a failed test did to Foster. Top 5-7 pick dropped to the end of the first.
Ozzie will have him vetted. If he's confident in him so am I. He was my 3rd rated edge rusher.

Mixons gonna go quick. Watch.

I think so too.
Were going to see Kevin King, Quincy Wilson, Awuzie, Sidney Jones, maybe Moreau come off the board in a hurry.
If it does happen grabbing the CB round 1 could look genius as first round talents fall to us with our next 2-3 picks as everyone else scrambles to get one.
Philly almost has to get one with this next pick.
Also think we're going to see Cook, Mixon and Kamara go before our pick.
I agree with you guys... when Reddick and Barnett went right ahead of us I immediately went to pass rush rd 2.
Hoping that we feel comfortable with Williams and he makes it to us bc I think he's got Top 15 talent.
OL I still think we sign Mangold after the draft and with Lewis at LG I think we'd be fine with in an house option or later pick to play RT. Or maybe Elflein or Dorian Johnson in the 3rd and you play them next to Mangold for a year or two and kick Elf into C later and Lewis plays RT. Either way I think we're one drafted player from being set on the OL. Jordan Morgan might even be a 4th/5th rd option that can step in Day 1 at LG or RT and give us an upgrade.
And I'm not in love with any WR at 47.
Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. I'd be happy with any of the 4 but I go Tim Williams, Carl Lawson, Tyus Bowser, Jordan Willis in order of preference.
Ok guys and gals....
So Cam Robinson, Forrest Lamp, Dion Dawkins and Dan Feeney all still on the board for OL.
Tim Williams, Carl Lawson, Jordan Willis and Tyus Bowser all there for pass rush.
Juju, Godwin, Zay Jones, Curtis Samuel and Cooper Kupp on the board for WR.
And great talents all over the field still available.
Where do you think we go?? We've got 3 of the next 46 picks... a lot of value can be had.
What are you hoping for?

Chill. Harbs said he can play ST. Not that that's what he'll be doing.
But he doesn't HAVE to start right away which is a luxury.
When his kid becomes a shut down CB you'll all be pretending you loved it.
We have no idea what Allens shoulders are like, what the story is with Foster.... Evan engrams just went. Clearly our FO wasn't alone in their evaluations
They tried but couldn't get up to take Reddick/Barnett and couldn't get a good enough offer to trade back.
So they went with the highest graded player. Our grades don't mean jack.
Lets let the kid play bc if he's a superstar it's an amazing pick. And our secondary has been THE reason we didn't beat the Pats in 2014 and why we missed the playoffs last year
Just now, Drew P said:Or best bama player
If that's Reuben Foster, Cam Robinson or Tim Williams I'd be a very happy man.
Just now, ALSKAN RAVEN FAN said:I wonder how many Matt Elam type picks are going to be made in this years 1st round? A guy who could be good but just turns into a total BUST!!!
If history is any indication 40-50%
8 minutes ago, Sami84 said:Why is it everyone considers T.White from LSU ( including myself) to be the better playmaker and more polished player..I gaurentee if white was playing for bama and humphreys for LSU the pick would be white
This just isn't even close to true.
Most teams had Humphrey #2 on their boards and in the top 10 overall. Stop spewing your BS. No one had White 2nd.
Lattimore, Humphrey Conley and Adoree Jackson are the unanimous top 4 for those that can actually judge talent.
Ozzie has the best sources at Bama.
Trust that Allen and Foster aren't clean.
Most connected Ted people thought Humphrey would go top 10. He's now a Raven.
This secondary can be CRAZY good. We're 3 very good to great Safeties and 4 CBs deep.
Oh oh and Decosta said this on The Lounge.... if a great CB was sitting there -. They may not be able to pass it up.
If Humphreys on this team last year we were probably in the playoffs.
1 minute ago, BmoreBird22 said:He fits perfectly in the Dean Pees defense. Put him in the Tampa 2 or Cover 3 and he'll kill it. He has so much ability. I am so happy.
I'll give it to you man. Great call. I almost put him as my pick in the 10k contest bc I thought he was the most likely that no one else would guess but switched to Harris last second.
I mean look - the WR's, Barnett and Reddick were gone.
Clearly Allens medical isn't clean. 15 other teams passed on maybe the 2nd most talented player in the draft. And fosters got red flags everywhere.
And look at our secondary. If Humphrey can be shutdown.... you cannot throw on us.
This is a pick that's going to look much better in the context of the whole draft. A pass rusher will be there for us round 2. Hit OL and WR 3rd and let's roll.
If we can get Tim Williams tomorrow I'm ecstatic.
Well I guess we prob really did love Corey Davis and Tenn knew they had no shot at 18....
Come on Barnett or Mike Williams!!!
Not a huge fan of Thomas and I have no idea was SF does with their DL now. Can all 3 play together??
Come on QBs and RBs. Let guys keep on fallin
QB going at 2 is great. Panic is gonna set in and we're gonna see 3 QBs go before us.
THANK YOU CHICAGO
Holy cow
Does anyone have a good stream for the draft. Not gonna be near a TV
Anyone have a good stream to watch the draft?
Im not going to be around a TV

Haha good point 😂
Bold prediction.
No matter who we take Sami hates the pick and calls for Ozzies head. Even if it's a prospect he's been talking up.
1 minute ago, 52520Andrew said:Yeah well put him against Von Miller and then we can talk about how great he is against speed. Miller won't only do contain rushes either
In fairness how many tackles do well against Von Miller?
Just now, ravensnation5220 said:Lol @JoeyFlex5 was joking
Oh I skipped 3 pages.
@JoeyFlex5 dude you can't steal my thunder. Only I get to post chaos causing fake reports. Copy cat.
4 minutes ago, RavensFanMania said:Laconfora is right about 20% of the time
I'd be shocked if Kaaya is around in the later rounds. Laconfora is an idiot.
Anyone consider that the rumor about trading up for Cam is bc we want the Eagles to think that bc they really like Corey Davis too and if they think we're taking Davis they won't do it.
So make em think it's Indy we're worried about when really we want to snag the guy Philly wants.
The Peppers thing was a joke FYI.
April fools
