That's one hell of a haul to move back only 4 spots.  Obviously that's a no brainer for the Ravens, but I can't see Denver doing that.

Please add a note about not spoiling the picks as well.

i think Purplehorseman's Winchester is starting to show.

Albert Breer's mock has this little nugget.

16. Ravens: Alabama LB Reuben Foster. No one gets more background on Bama players than Ozzie Newsome. And I hear he’s OK with Foster’s flags

I really don't think Ozzie is a risk taker when it comes to these kind of things. I would suspect he may pass up on Conley even in the third.

I generally agree, but this would certainly be a prime opportunity to get a clear 1st round talent a touch later if we feel comfortable with the investigation we did.  Of course, none of us can predict that, and I'd guess he won't be a Raven anyways.

Just now, cobrajet said:

Does anyone think he would be worth taking in the second round or Ozzie won't touch him even if he falls into the third. I think he has a lot of talent and we could use another solid CB. I would be surprised if some team did not take him in the second, but I could be wrong.

It's hard to even say what's going to happen with him.  By everything I've seen leading up to tonight, it looks like teams believe that Conley is innocent.  However, they still have to weigh the possibility that they're wrong and Conley did do it.  I don't think any of us here have even close to the necessary resources to make any sort of judgment on where he could possibly go.  This is about as wait and see as it gets from an outsider perspective.

But if it turns out to be all made up, there should be some course of action for Conley to recoup damages. While rapes go vastly unreported, under prosicuted, and under punished when they are true -- the fact that there currently arent any penalties to those that report false rape accusations is ridiculous. Obviously its very difficult to prove either way which is why there are so many issues surrounding the topic, but when it is confirmed without a doubt that allegations are fabricated -- these people should be prosecuted and the falsely accused should be able to sue.  Conley stands to lose millions now unfairly if the claims are false. Its bs. 

Just to touch on this last part, it's a lose lose for Conley if he doesn't go in the 1st round.  Even if he files a defamation lawsuit, there's no way he's going to recoup all of that lost money unless this girl and her family are rich.

It seems to me that all fans here will be most excited about picking Corey Davis. However, I think he may not be there. I would however prefer a Jonathan Allen or a Rueben Foster slipping to us!

You do realize that if those guys slip to us, that means there are issues, correct?  Allen's shoulders are apparently pretty bad and we all know the issues with Foster.  If they're at 16, there's a reason, and I don't see any good reasons for them to be there.

Somewhat good news for Conley, it seems.  Still missing out on a ton of money but not as bad as it could be.  Strong indications that a lot of teams believe the accusations are completely false.

Browns gonna Brown.  Please let the former actually happen

For everyone thinking they've nailed down the Ravens options, please take a step back and think about that.  Rumors are just that, rumors.  This is the most unpredictable draft I've ever seen and I think it's hard enough to nail down 5 options for a team at 9, let alone 16.

2 is a lifestyle, ya'll.  Get on the train!

Aside from the aforementioned names, Tony Pauline does some good work as well.  He's best with his rumors about some of those late round, unheralded guys.

Doesn't get more walk-off than that.

Ironic that posting this would have instantly made it not so...

That's why I had to screenshot such a glorious occasion. 

Trumbo needs to take a seat for a couple of games.

I think separation and routes will come with practice and I trust Engram to coach that up more than I would Hostler.

I don't think it will end up mattering anyways.  I expect him to be the 1st WR off the board.

I can't see them passing on Williams considering he brings such a different dynamic and is exactly the type of receiver Joe flourishes with. Massive catch radius, 50/50 balls, back shoulder fades. What's not to like?

Separation and routes.  I agree with you for what it's worth.  Just a gut feeling that the team wouldn't.

The big issue is really only Williams and Davis would do it for me personally and I think the FO views it that way too and expects neither to be there.

I'd go further and just narrow that down to Davis.  I think if we are going to go WR, he's the guy.  It would not shock me at all if we pass on Williams, but I don't expect him to be there anyways.  Just a gut feeling more than anything.

Our good buddy Aaron still on the Ravens beat

When all you have on the roster is Wallace, perriman, and unknowns, I tend to believe drafting a WR is a must. Well there's always the 2nd round

I'd probably lean more toward day 2 to hopefully try to solve WR, and I'd guess that's what we end up doing.

I'm trying not to bite into rumors, but some of these reports really want me to tear up my mock I just did on Friday, as I already feel it'll be way off.
