As always, my board rests with @allblackraven, @rmw10 and @-Truth-, though I should be around to pick.
If it helps, I think Gabbert gets the starting job in SF. Obviously won't be good, but he should get at least double digit starts.
32 minutes ago, ravensdan said:Man I was just looking at Keenan Lewis. If he's healthy he's a major steal.
Same.
@CalvinSmoke is up followed by @Archeearl92
I was wondering if someone would draft Boykin now that he's signed. He's been good, but the fact that Carolina signed and cut him already this offseason is concerning.

Its all good. Both the Lawson and Johnson picks got in and we made great progress again.
Just now, RavensFanMania said:I'm talking about willie henry and he went to Michigan. Anyway, I'm sure you know this. Who do you think I'm talking about though?
Brandon Williams
@regz1997 made up his voluntary skip with G Shawn Lauvao.

Thanks @-Truth- for making my pick. I think Stevie Johnson is a nice fit in the NE offense. Averaged 4.5 catches and 49.7 yards per game last year. He is my 3rd WR (have 2 TEs and 2 RBs as well) and can help in the slot, which is always important.

Shouldn't be though as its 1 game for this season. Can't possibly say Mariota over Brady for that.
Manny Lawson proved he can still play last year and is still a high-level athlete with great versatility. He'll be my starting SAM.
13 minutes ago, ravensdan said:Mauldin was a very good choice. He's a guy I'd peg for a breakthrough year.
Thanks.
9 minutes ago, ravensdan said:Too bad the voting threads are ending. Would have liked to see my matchup with ozzsme. A bit of an upset win over crush there imho.
Yeah, voting would be going through until tomorrow morning still if we had another round. I'm a bit surprised by the result as well, but I'm obviously biased.
@rmw10 is up followed by @ravefan52 (4 hour clock), @LosT_in_TranSlatioN, @BmoreBird22, @allblackraven and @ravensdan

Seems reasonable.

Sorry, best method I could think of.

An underrated bad aspect of his game is he is pretty unproductive running out of shotgun formations.

Maybe, I did read very little of the thread to be fair. First venture into Ravens Talk for a while.
I removed the people who just dropped out from the big board, but I believe I've missed a few skips there and some clocks could be off. I'm traveling, so if someone could check on it I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Thanks for making my selection for me @allblackraven.
Explaining my last 2 picks:
With Junior Galette going down injured, I needed to nab a new 3rd DE, which takes a bigger role in my defense with Michael Bennett moving inside. Lorenzo Mauldin was my BPA there. Had solid production as a rookie and is now in line for the starting job for the Jets. Todd Bowles came out and publicly said he had big expectations for him, which, if you know Bowles, is something he doesn't do too much.
Matt Kalil will provide me with a solid 6th OL option. OT was a priority for me early the continuation as Bryan Bulaga has a pretty bad history with injuries. My original plan was to draft Andre Smith with my 1st post coordinator pick, but then I decided I didn't want to risk losing my QB target (who has to start 4 games remember) and Galette tore his Achilles, meaning I needed a pass rusher.

Dustin Hopkins, K
This selection is invalid. Hopkins went in the first 26 rounds.
On July 26, 2016 at 9:19 AM, -Truth- said:No problem at all. Solid pick there. Agreed on Kikaha.
Thanks. Hopefully Kikaha can return from injury, but I do have my doubts because of his AA.
On July 26, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Dubs said:@Mt. Crushmore are you going to do a conference matchup for voting with teams that were voted best in 3 years from now? Gotta ask as I would be part of that one
Unfortunately, the best team voting has to end now because of the amount of threads, so I can't do a 3 year one. Sorry.
19 hours ago, LosT_in_TranSlatioN said:So.. I'm surprised he was here even with the down year. He should be a decent player in the Kubiak scheme.
As I talked about earlier in this post, Smith was a main target for me. Nice pick.
9 hours ago, BmoreBird22 said:He's been steadily declining each year.
Kalil has never reached the heights of his rookie year and I'd never draft him if there was a salary cap with that 5-year option, but he was better in 2015 than 2014 and was actually on his way to a solid campaign before finishing bad over the last few games. I think this 6th OL role should suit him nicely.
4 hours ago, Archeearl92 said:Scarnecchia does, not Belichick.
Yep. Had to bring him out of retirement too!
5 hours ago, regz1997 said:That's true. But at this point the bet on the upside is worth it. Belichick seems to get the best out of eh-Olinemen year in and year out. I'd call this a good pick at this point @Mt. Crushmore
Thanks.
53 minutes ago, ravensdan said:I think for a game this year Brady has the advantage over Mariota. Most of the other positions are very evenly matched basically across the board. I think ozzsomes team could put up some points here though. Clowny and Fowler are both unknowns as far as staying on the field for a whole season as well.
Obviously I'm biased and the teams are pretty close, but with Brady and Belichick I feel like I have a significant advantage.
The Truffle Shufflers select...

Lorenzo Mauldin, DE
Anyone else care to offer their options? Both are tied right now.
8 hours ago, RavensFanMania said:It could only be how deep the class was. I watched some of his tape during the forum draft as well and came away impressed with his athleticism.
And he was a D2 player, which is below even FCS.
If anyone wants to pass along their board I can take it.
