There are a couple of weird db picks so far in this draft - Langley is definitely one of them

Langley is a pure potential pick. Not much CB tape out there but he's such a smooth athlete if they can teach him some of the intricacies of the position.

i thought we were gonna use 1st rnd pick to trade down and add more picks in later rounds. just 3 picks day 3 is a little disappointing.

Ozzie did allude to the possibility of trading down in the 4th. 

Still pumped my guy is actually a Raven. Not a typical Ravens type of guy but I'm glad they've seemingly adjusted and took a player built for today's NFL. I'm still a full believer that he's Jamie Collins 2.0

As a 3rd round pick, I'll never care if Williams doesn't become a true 3 down LBer. Just him do what he does best.

James Conner.  Good story.

Why is there always one good person that goes to Pittsburgh?  Makes it so hard to like them lol

Yea I didn't get the hate for the pick. 

Hes been a very productive interior pass rusher with strength to anchor and shed against the run. Will prob compete for that 5T spot in base but his value is his ability to kick inside in sub packages and still excel at rushing the passer. 

I don't know that either Kaufusi or Urban is built for that. 

 

I thought he was a 2nd round value though I would have hated if we took him there. But, getting him in the 3rd - I'm happy with it. 

Not ecstatic or anything but it's a solid pick. 

I think we really wanted Dawkins, Elflein or Taywan Taylor. Godwin was maybe the one guy I would've really preferred over Wormley... but I'll live. 

 

Jordan Morgan or Dorian Johnson are my guess for our 4th round pick. 

It's more the overall investment into the DL for me, with nothing special to show for it.  So many high picks and Brandon Williams is the only good player we have to this point.  For me, it's not as much against Wormley as much as it is out investment in the DL as a whole.

Loved what little I could actually find on Langley.  Developmental guy but so smooth athletically.

And there's another UDFA that went in the 3rd.  Brendan Langley.

Too many off the field for me to have seen him going higher. Off the field is why I didn't see the Ravens taking him.

Happy as hell to have him.

Yeah it works for me.  I was kind of thinking that if we were going to take him, that would mean other teams were comfortable with him as well and he'd go a little earlier.  Glad it worked out where we were comfortable AND he was available for us.

I'd long said Tim Williams would go in the third because of off the field, but I wasn't sure he'd be a Raven.

Best pure 3-4 EDGE in the draft.

I didn't think he'd make it this far, but figured if anyone was taking a shot on him, it could be us.

massive reaches are starting a round earlier than normal which is weird

Wouldn't say reaches necessarily.  This is typically always the time where some guys you don't think are valued as highly start to go.

Going well for me so far.

I picked Gareon Conley at 29 and he went 24, even with the allegations.  I picked Tyus Bowser in the early 3rd and he went mid 2nd.  I picked Taywan Taylor in the mid 4th and he went early 3rd.  I picked Kenny Golladay as a UDFA and he just went late 3rd.

Wormley is the only pick I don't like so far, so not a bad draft in that regard.  I really wish we'd stop drafting so many DL.  It's great that we can develop them and all but how many do we really need?  5 years in a row taking one in the top 3 rounds.  I'd much rather have that pick go towards an incredibly weak offense.  I don't even think Wormley is a terrible player or anything, but it's overkill.

No idea who's playing on offense for us but they've sure managed to attempt to build an insane defense.

Mulitalo looks like he could still play OL for us though.

It wouldn't be a Ravens draft if we didn't take a DL in the top 3 rounds.  5 drafts in a row now.

The Titans can go to hell.

If The Rams take Kupp I'm going to be so sad

You're sad.

That's one strong RB group down there in NOLA

Who is announcing our 3rd rounder?

Edwin Mulitalo, I believe.

Those 2 back to back OL picks hurt

NOOOO I liked Dawkins here so much.

COOPER KUPP

Haven't seen Yancy

Yancey's tape is crap but apparently teams believed that offense several limited him.  Probably nothing more than a late round option, but the potential is intriguing if that's the belief.

I actually think the Steelers saved us from ourselves at this point. I like the other WRs available better. 

TAYWAN TAYLOR
