Baltimore RAYvens

You can teach the route tree, you can't teach desire. We need guys with desire. That's something I think we can all agree on

I think a guy that gets looked over a lot on the forums is Corey Coleman. Everyone is very public about his drive to win at everything he does, and you can see in his instinct as a competitor. I think the terms playmaker and vocal leaders get mixed up and used interchangeably when in my mind they are very different. I think the latter is what this team really needs which is why Jalen Ramsey is a guy that a lot of people will talk about up until the draft. When we had Ray Lewis and Ed Reed on defense our team was great, we made average defensive players look great. This wasn't just because we had playmakers (which we certainly had more of and are lacking), but it was because we had those guys as vocal leaders on our team that could get the guys fired up and ready to play at 150% of their talent level. We need someone out on the field to motivate our guys. I believe the guy Charles is referring to is the RB from Oklahoma St., Samaje Perine.

They have picks 15, 42, and 48

I view value as the players talent supersedes the draft spot. That's why you can find "value" later in the draft, as opposed to having solid picks at the top

I knew after last night the Howard bandwagon would fill up fast. Having invested in Crocket, Maxx, and Boyle even ignoring the fact that Pitta may return, we have plenty of TEs and adding another one seems like a waste IMO. As far as things I did like seeing in the Bowl game, I loved that I kept seeing Jayron Kearse trying to chase people down on the way to the end zone. I think he played poorly enough to be had in the second for us

I think Ozzie's Bama connection often is miscategorized. Ozzie has a thing for drafting champions. Just take a look back, even recently with Brooks and Jernigan coming from Florida State. It's really hard to instill that winning culture into people, and it's much easier if they've already tasted that sucess and victory With that being said I hope that Clemson wins so we take a hard look at guys like Jayron Kearse or Mackenzie Alexander.

I think the biggest wrench could be the Browns. For some reason I have a feeling that if Chip doesn't go to the Titans and reunites with Mariota that he will go to Cleveland where they might give him GM power and he'll try and play with Johnny football

I think Jerry Jones shocks the world and trades for Manziel and also for Sean Peyton and shakes the crap out of the draft order

With us beating the Steelers we are all but out of the top 5. Round 1 Ronnie Stanley, OT: Notre Dame Out of the running for Tunsil or Bosa, but a nice consolation prize. Round 2 Corey Coleman, WR: Baylor Coleman is electric and is by far my favorite player in the draft. All he seems to do is make big plays and score. Round 3 Yannick Ngakoue, OLB: Maryland It's been said before, but if he was at Alabama or a big name school that was winning he'd be first round no doubt Round 3 (McPhee comp) Karl Joseph, S: West Virginia Had he not gotten hurt so early in the year he would have put up numbers crazy enough to push him up into the top of the draft. Round 4 Kameli Correa, DE: Boise State Undersized, but super athletic. Another one of my favorite players in the draft. He wins on speed and athleticism right now, but when he adds 25 pounds of muscle he could be a forced to be reckoned with after some tutelage from Elvis Round 4 Harlen Miller, CB: South East Louisiana Somewhat of a project CB, but we all know how Ozzie loves his mid round projects. Has the length and ball skills to warrant consideration Round 4 Tyler Marz, OT: Wisconsin Backed up Wagner as a Badger, and can do it again in the pros. Has great size at 6-8 320, and would be an upgrade over Hurst if need be

He reminds me of a young steve smith. He's such a fiery competitor that feels the need to win at anything he does, and that's the mentality we bring to this team

The more I watch Corey Coleman the more and more I fall in love with him as a prospect. I don't think he's the best in the class, but I think he's the most exciting. All the talk about trying to trade back up to 31 to get that 5th-year option this is the guy I would want Harris Highlights uploaded a Coleman video

I just feel like Buckner is only a tad more developed than Armsted was last year, and that scares me. We have plenty of D-Line depth and could develop him, but with a pick that high you want immediate impact which is something I don't see from him. At least not to the level of Bosa

reasons?

The biggest reason I think people are down on Bosa this year is because his numbers are down. He's facing triple teams this year. That simply can't be done in the NFL when you have to worry about everyone else. Plus a rotation of him, Suggs, and Doom would have fresh legs on the field and be ridiculous

I've found that CBS's big board tends to be one of the last ones to get updated, and never fully gets it right up until the end. I'll use them as a reference, but never as my sole board

Smith strikes me as a pure 4-3 OLB, but him in the middle of a 3-4 and he'll probably get caught up in all that traffic

It's always possible. There's so many holes on this team and a real lack of depth that we could double up anywhere (outside of QB, Punter, and Kicker) and I wouldn't be surprised. If you take Bosa round one and a guy like Nkemdiche or Ogbah is sitting there in the second or Carl Nassib/Yannick Ngakoue is there in the third it's a no brainer.

I wonder if it's a ploy more that anything to hopefully drive up his price tag in FA for a better comp pick

Can we all stop with the 4-3 and just let Pees shoulder the blame instead of formation?

Exactly. As far as I can remember the DUI is the only flag for Boyd, which is why I don't think of him as someone with baggage.

But for real though. Myles Jack looks the real deal and pairing him with Mosely gives us a Thumper and a rangey cover duo

But we've had so much success with converting 4-3OLBs in college to 3-4 MLBs... *rolls eyes at Arthur Brown*

Both facts, but not sure how they're relevant to Boyd?

Boyd isn't anywhere near Gregory in terms of issues. Gregory tested positive for marijuana and said that he didn't care and was going to keep smoking. Boyds biggest issue was a DUI if I remember correctly. Thought Bengals had more WR on their roster. As of right now they only have 3 under contract for next season

While Cincy loves to stock up on WR talent spending another first rounder with what they already have is a little over the top
