    So I guess Donnell pumphrey will be the greatest running back in NFL history, I mean he is the all time leading rusher in college football history. Lol 

    I do agree that mccaffrey will be very successful in the NFL. But to compare him to Barry Sanders is just wrong

    Oh, this kid is going to be great.

    literally every modern "star" college offensive player beats the school records because of the offensive nature of both college football and the nfl - it means nothing - it's like suggesting jonny manziel will become an all pro qb off his nfl production (spoiler alert: it didnt happen)

    C'mon Rossihunter2, it's not hard to realize that you are really JoeyFlex5 under another profile. Your jig is up, Joey!

    Lol, you are seldom wrong when you make stuff up with the benefit of hindsight. 

    You just compared mcaffrey to Barry sanders, and I'm gonna leave it at that. 

    Well, he did beat his collegiate career numbers for total yardage. So, his NFL numbers are on deck.

    He is undersized at rb and we have no clue how our line is gonna perform, he's a disaster waiting to happen in the backfield. 

    He has never been a true wr and lining up in the slot or outside in the NFL is gonna bring a massive learning curve with it. 

    We don't need a second round talent at 16 struggling at multiple positions when we could find a first round talent at 16 to excel at one major area of need, such as edge(Tim Williams. Reddick, watt, possibly Barnett if he falls), or RT(cam Robinson or Forrest lamp) or even a true WR like mike Williams or Corey Davis, any one of those players, and many many more such as the cbs that will be available and other edge guys like Charles Harris would all likely bring a much bigger impact.

    Hell I'd take Curtis Samuel over mcaffrey, he looks like much more of a threat as a wr and is a more dangerous speed mismatch coming out of the backfield.

    I totally disagree.  My comparison is a cross between Barry Sanders and Wes Welker. They both had little room to work with, but, they made their separation. Detroit's line was always one of the worst in the entire NFL, yet, Barry made plays.  And yes, I compared him to a HOF player. This is my opinion and I am sticking to it, as I am seldom ever wrong.

    How would mcaffrey do more for us than any player in the draft?

    McCaffery can play multiple positions, and play them at the highest level. He can play slot. outside, returner. and running back. He creates mismatches and would be a joy for any coordinator.

    There's decent depth at the receiver position this year. My personal favorite is Davis. He, is what I look for in a number one receiver. He can separate and always wins the contested ball. Overall ,he appears entirely more athletic than Williams. In any other draft I would definitely pick him.

    However, I am staying with my pick from last year, Christian McCaffrey. He can play anywhere and IMO do more for this team than any other player in this entire draft.

    Nabbing McCaffery in the first, then landing either Goodwin, Jones or Etta-Tawo in the third round would make our offense scary.

    I'm sorry but that's hillarious! We moved up 12 spots in the 6th round. Really?...

    Just let the guy walk allowing him to chose his destination if that's all we get in return. Am I missing something?

    It's just business, nothing personal.

    Zach Brown is still available and it even might be an upgrade at LB over Orr. If we could get Claiborne as well that would be a plus.

    Agree , Z Brown would be a good fit at an attractive price, We have so many needs I doubt WR will be our first pick. Mangold would be a nice piece, but the surprise may be Boldin.....

    Brown would be yuuuuge!

    Christian McCaffrey would do much to up to RB, slot receiver, KR/PR needs, but WR, ER, and CB will probably override his selection. So many needs and only one 1st round pick.

    Thank you! I've been saying this for weeks now and may Ravens fans are not too high on him. If any fans want a Julian Edelman-type in Bmore that has a nose for first downs and can take on KR/PR duties, he's the guy. The Ravens can also trade out of 16th, a a couple more picks, and draft him in the mid-20's. He's an NFL-ready player. If Joe needs a checkdown guy in the slot that can make 1st downs, look no further.

    McCaffery is hands down better than Edelman. I also, like him better than anyone in this draft. He can line up anywhere; outside, slot, back field, and can even throw a pass!

    Baltimore's 2013 draft class was labeled a bust by many, but just cashed in for more than $100 million in free agency. Looking back, it's a reminder that we should reserve judgement on young players, including some still on the Ravens roster.

    View the full article

    Well, in order to say it's a bust or not, we should break it down.

    Let's start with the players and rounds:

    1-Matt Elam (Bust) 2 Arthur Brown (Bust) 3 Brandon Williams (Score) 4 John Simon (Score, but waived) 5 Kyle Juszczyk (Score) 6 Rick Wagner (Score) 6 Kapron Lewis-Moore (Bust) 6 Ryan Jensen (Score) 7 Aaron Mellette (Bust) 7 Marc Anthony (Bust)

    Final: 5 Scores vs 5 Busts

    Personally, I call this draft a bust, as I wanted "The Honey Badger" Tyrann Mathieu in round 1. He dropped to the 3rd round due to off field issues- failed 10 drug tests and was kicked off the LSU football team. In hindsight, he appeared to be the right choice, as the Ravens safety position has been dismal and he has been a Pro Bowl player.

    Don't you think it's time for the NFL to put out a list of supplements that have banned ingredients in them? Or, produce a list of approved supplements? Or, the player should ask the team doctors to review their list , prior to taking them.

    Also, the team should note to the players, that taking something from a person at a gym, might have bad ramifications.

    I believe as rookies they are made aware of harmful things, but, guys don't listen because it's a business and they want the edge to stay ahead. As the bald man is always looking for the hair remedies, no matter the health risks.

    I certainly didn't expect the Ravens to top the market for Williams and he wound up getting more than Damon Harrison got and I think Harrison is a better player. I am kind of 50/50 with this deal. I like Brandon Williams and I think he's a good player, but on the other hand that is a lot of money to pay out for his position and he doesn't stay on the field all the time. We have other players behind him showing promise. Does this mean that Micheal Pierce moves over to take Guy's spot? We've got a lot of bodies to play 3 positions still:

    NT/DT: Brandon Williams, Michael Pierce, Carl Davis, Willie Henry, Timmy Jernigan

    DE: Timmy Jernigan, Brent Urban, Bronson Kaufusi.

    Having a BIG line won the Super Bowl in 2000. Arguably, the best D ever. Having both Pierce and Williams in on goal line stands, is pretty intimidating.

    On the other hand, I hope the big contract doesn't come back to bite us.

    Webb, played 8 years for the Ravens and played very well in his early years. If not for Darrelle Revis, Nnamdi Asomugha, and Champ Bailey's of the world , I believe he could have made several Pro Bowls. However, injuries come and having a smaller frame hurts your chances of survival in the rugged NFL, especially in the brutal, hard hitting AFC North.

    That being said, you really have to salute him for his grand efforts.

    You're the first to call Sidney jones anything less than a first round lock.

    FYI : This is from your Db thread in the forum section

    lets get down to it. im not big on most of the first round cb's, i have a negative bias of bama corners, im not a huge fan of jalen tabor, im up and down on adoree jackson, however, i LOVE desmond king, pretty big fan of tre'davious white, king is a mid first prospect atm and white is late first-early second. IF we land in the top 10, adoree jackson is the only one i would take, i think all of the first round cb's aside from king will end up overdrafted. 

    second round, i like sidney jones and quincy wilson, great value picks for both of them. 

    as for safeties, i havent looked into malik hooker yet, but as much as i love jabrill peppers i think he represents a lot of what we dont need, we dont need another tweener who is just average in coverage and likely too small to play his college role in the NFL. i see desmond king as a very viable safety, i dont like marcus maye at all. 

    proceed...

     

    I guess things changed, was it a peek of film or mocks from paid draft evaluators?

    You just implied that 8 picks in 3 years is below average and then used Revis as an example citing the same numbers, pat Pete having one less and peters having 3 more. 

    What was the point of this post exactly? Ints aren't a good indicator of ball skills, can't pick a ball off that is being thrown at another corner. Watch film, not box stats, when the hell will people stop evaluating talent without taking even a peek at film.

    I said that's pretty decent (positive point) and compared him to the greats. I rate him a second round pick due to my acquired info and observation. You have a Db thread, where you rank him the same...so lighten up.
