  1. I am waiting for Harbaugh to say we had a 3rd round grade on Clark
  2. How about a center? For starters, a tackle? A small speedy guy to return kicks or punts with upside? A wide receiver?
  3. After all the anticipation and announcements made to draft "PLAYMAKERS" and the money we spend scouting players and evaluating talent, we seem to always find the Matt Elams of the world, I think "safe pick" must resonate instead of finding difference makers with our front office these days, just keep getting the same ol same ol guys, and at best 8-8, this pick speaks of mediocracy.
  4. Seriously? BPA? I hope some cat did their homework here, that C grade we just got for the pick is underwhelming me, considering the oline talent still on the board
  5. Who is the best WR left, either the fastest, or the tallest, that is not a ball dropper?
  6. Or take JJ Deilman utah ot
  7. Eric Austell Guard, had a chance to see a bunch of games there while dayghter plays a diff sport, take a flyer on this guy
  8. Bold Prediction: If Correa is not a starter this season, calling it another high pick draft bust....I remember hearing crickets last year after the pick, what can we do with this high motor guy?
  9. Man, Watching Jibaldo pitch, is like watching a Pees defense protect a 4th quarter lead
  10. He better get blockers, cause we on the hunt!
  11. He is a poor mans Chris Chester
  12. Moves and counter moves
  13. Still sucks
  14. Keep the O lineman coming with the next 2 picks, no playmakers left, top priority is to solidify the oline at this point, and go with what you got on offense, or buy some playmakers
  15. Dude, I am freakin jacked about this draft so far! Its time to get back to playing Ravens football, where we beat the snot out of you, and win 13-6! I dont care what weapons Cincy or the Squeelers have, if they are blanketed, and we cream their qb's, game over. You younger newbie Raven fans just dont appreciate how we won our first sb, but Ozzie does, and finally we are getting back to a vaunted defense. See youtube The need is still on offense, however the defensive picks fell our way. We may still be 1-2 years away, or not, but at least our defense will finally be set. I would love to see a bell cow running back chew up clock and defenses to help everybody on both sides of the ball, but that has to be a philosophical decision going forward. I thought we were way too pass happy last year, and never fully committed to the run game, and maybe its because our offensive brain trust has never relied on a strong running game in the past, in favor of passing to backs, ie. Priest Holmes or LT.
  16. Obviously this answer may vary depending on position, so to clarify, lets go Position, then Top Criteria this position player must posess in your opinion. I am going to go first, I will say if we go Inside linebacker, my top criteria would be HEART, Speed, and instincts. I have seen a lot of tall athletic linebackers over the years, that had the height, athleticizm, and the look, but lacked the heart to dominate. Undersized backers like our own Ray Ray, even Derek Brooks, that had heart and desire, which trumped everything else.
  17. Might need somebody off the street to snap the ball at some point
  18. I'm sure we will draft some ball droppers in the late rounds for Flacco to target
  19. Kafusi who?
  20. Pees must be ecstatic
  21. I think we need to draft a pass rusher, or 8
  22. Im pissed the steelers grabbed juju
  23. I like the pick. I wanted a DE or CB, because we keep losing games in the 4th quarter. I honestly would take another cb if its the bpa. A good CB is one of the most valuable commodities in the nfl, and garners huge cap space on a contract, but if you can draft a good one like we did here, and get a good starter, it frees up money to buy other fa positions of need, which Ozzie gets, so I am all for it. I wonder how many complainers will be wearing a Humphrey jersey soon? This dudes gonna be a beast playmaker, roughing up wr's
  24. Read this: walterfootball.com has Humphrey ranked top 1-2 corners in the draft, and had the Saints taking him 11th last night in their mock... 2017 NFL Draft Prospects: Cornerbacks Humphrey has a superb skill set with the size to match up against big wideouts and enough speed to run with speed receivers. He has quick feet, physicality, length, and is agile to run the route with wideouts. Humphrey is well-developed and should be quality starter quickly in his NFL career. Some teams have Humphrey as their top-rated cornerback. In 2016, Humphrey totaled 33 tackles with two tackles for a loss, two interceptions and five pass breakups. He had an excellent season opener against USC as he shut down wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, holding him to one catch for nine yards. Humphrey also had an interception returned 18 yards for a touchdown and a tackle for a loss. Humphrey is a well-rounded prospect who does everything well. Sources feel that Humphrey's only real flaw is that he had issues playing the ball in 2016, although he did better at that in his 2015 tape. He is very good at preventing separation as he can vertically stay with speed wideouts and run the routes with receivers, but some opponents made catches over him. Against Arkansas, Humphrey gave up a few receptions, including a touchdown. He also had a rough game against Ole Miss as he gave up a few completions downfield, including a score. On those plays, Humphrey was close to the receivers and not allowing separation, but they were making receptions over him and he wasn't doing a good job of playing the ball. That is the one issue that Humphrey needs to fix for the NFL. Some teams feel it is very correctable. 9/3/16: In speaking to sources at multiple teams, they really like Humphrey and already view him as a high first-round talent. Teams feel he has a great skill set with size, speed and athleticism. After redshirting in 2014, Humphrey had an excellent debut to help Alabama win the National Championship. He earned a starting job across from Cyrus Jones and Humphrey was the Crimson Tide's top corner. In 2015, Humphrey totaled 45 tackles with three interceptions and eight passes broken up. He could take his game to another level in 2016
