If we cant get our O-Line healthy and ready to pass protect; we're going to be looking for a new QB in this draft b/c Flacco can't take much more of this beating week in week out.

At least we're not talking about him potentially starting Game 1, that would be a frightening thought. Flacco seems to be bionic for a QB coming off of major knee surgery. Most QB's who sustained that injury when Flacco did would not be on pace for a Week 1, truly amazing.

Terrible news for a guy in his first year. For the Ravens, it sucks to get zero production out of a 3rd round pick

All of the obvious stuff aside, the last time Ray stepped on the field was 2013 and he put up 660 yards in 15 games. Strictly Football talk, Rice was the perfect RB for our team at the exact right time. We had a young Flacco and we were still pounding the rock in a traditional system with Pro Bowl FB's. Too much young talent at the position nowadays for any 29 year old RB to come back after 3 years away from the game.

Manziel has absolutely nothing to offer us on the field. Manziel was going to have to put in serious work just to be a starting QB in the league to overcome his defects as a QB (Unpredictable, Undersized with Poor vision), he did not do that. If we want a talent in the slot position as a receiver that can throw the football (as per the OP), we drafted one in Keenan Reynolds who is better suited for that position, the fact being he is tougher and a better competitor.

I'd love to see what percentage of guys who tear their Achilles or even get a Lisfranc are wearing the low cut, soccer style cleats; As opposed to guys who wear a mid cut cleat that gives your Achilles more of a compression.

I will definitely agree w/ the OP on one statement; Our FO definitely gets caught day dreaming about mid round sleepers. Sometimes you wish they would've stayed at their pick in the 2nd or moved back into the first, as opposed to taking 5 guys in the 4th round, especially a DT and a RB of which we have plenty.

I just pulled the wagon out of the lot and am trying to find some passengers ... There may even be some crimson coloured kool aid on board. Derrick Henry at 6'3 240 running a 4.54 is a monster who will set a tone and identity for this team. I feel his skill set will transfer well to the pro level and fits our offense very nicely.

I'm on the Derrick Henry bandwagon right now. Our O-Line just received a big upgrade and putting this beast behind it would be awesome.

Good, solid pick for us. It's hard to argue against taking a OT in the top 10, b/c that is a position that is harder to find later in the draft. Sure it wasn't flashy, exciting ... I was and still am a bit bored by it, but in the end when our O-Line is solidified it will be a good pick. We keep Monroe for the foreseeable, no use in cutting him and there is no market for a trade at this point. Then we line up with our best 5 on the field, whatever combination that might be. Can Wagner move to LG and be successful, I don't see why not. LT Monroe / LG Wagner / C Zuttah / RG Yanda / RT Stanley ... that sounds like a good unit to me.

TBH though, I'm thrilled that one of these top 2 QB's won't be ruined yet again by the Browns. The Browns got a good haul for that pick, but the big question is what will they do with it? Certainly didn't work out with the Falcons and them getting Julio.

If done right including all of the colours from the MD Flag our 'Colour Rush' uniform could be pretty awesome. But if they appoint the same person who did our gold pant look, then I'am very worried.

I like this mock quite a bit tbh. I think the top 5 could realistically end up that way (although I have a weird feeling for Jags taking Buckner); but I definitely think Tunsil could fall to us like that and there's no way we pass up on him. Love the idea of us moving back into the 1st round for a pass rusher, Spence is a beast but his past drug history will concern the Ravens greatly.

Regarding the crowded TE depth chart, last we heard about Crockett Gillmore wasn't his availability up in the air for training camp/week 1? He had multiple surgeries, back and shoulder issues so he may not be a full go anyways.

You'd like to think he's 100% seeing as its been around 8-9 months since this mysterious 'PCL strain' happened, especially when we've seen guys coming off ACL tears running fully on that timeline.
