Its too bad we took Correa over Deion Jones. I was a big fan of Jones

Ryan Ramczyk

I'd like to think my team would have similar success as the real falcons. I don't have Schraeder or Mack on the offense, but Kouandjio was much much better this year and Nick Martin was promising before getting hurt. Hunter Henry was a big addition at TE too. Defense is pretty similar. Thurmond retiring hurts though a healthy Shaq Lawson could be a great duo with Beasley.

Hahahah ok. Well first, you have no idea what grades teams have given players, so don't tell me about their stock and who's falling or rising on NFL boards. You flat out don't know. Also you do realize scouting players in mostly opinion based right? You act like you're the only who knows how to evaluate them. Which is hilarious because no one can take anything you say seriously after you said Kalamlei Correa was a legit DROY candidate and "practically the same player as Anthony Barr", among many many of your other misses. We all miss on players, which is why most on here don't talk like they know everything, unlike you.

Oh? Didn't know you were the all knowing one

It just depends who's available and when. I wouldn't mind trading up for an elite player that could mask some of our weaknesses, but we do also have a lot of holes and it's a really stacked and deep defensive class. Getting 5 players in the first three rounds could bring a ton of talent in. Maybe something like this Trade up options: Barnett, T Williams, Corey Davis, Mike Williams, Lattimore Stay at 16: Wilson, Jones, McKinley, Cook Trade down: Edge or CB (Harris, Watt, Tre White, Tankersly, Tabor) such a deep class there will be good ones available

The running game would be even worse and Flacco would see more pressure from the RT and LG spots. So it really weakens two spots on an already not good enough line. And Flacco needs a better than average OL to succeed, especially with the lack of weapons he has.

Yeah I know what you're saying. I feel like like they were referring more to new coaches and improvement from young guys like Stanley and Lewis. Along with Yanda those are three good pieces. If Wagner leaves then the OL is much worse, but if not then it seems both tackle and guard spots are filled. Then Zuttah probably hangs around as the FO tries to find a present and or future upgrade there. No matter what happens though it's going to be hard for teams to acquire good offensive lineman this offseason and the demand is going to be very high.

They probably won't be BPA because this is a terrible OT class and there's a lot of teams desperate for OT's. Also, that's what we already had with Wagner, probably worse. If our 1st round pick is used to weaken RT then say goodbye to next season.

Zuttah is decent, theres just not that many good centers out there. It's why finding a new center that will actually be an upgrade is harder than most realize. I think we'll keep Zuttah and add someone through FA or the draft though.

If Wagner leaves the offense is most likely screwed. It'd be very hard to replace him as most teams are looking for OT's and there are very few out there.. RT's are just as important as LT's these days and retaining one of the better ones in his prime has to be the biggest priority of free agency. Adding a starting OT to the long list of other needs would be a deep hole to dig out of.

OLB, CB, ILB, WR and OL are all big needs, and those are just the positions that need starters. I think for the second year in a row Ozzie has to kill this draft, or we're back to mediocre or worse

Why garett bolles?

Barring some unforeseen incident, Rueben Foster isn't going to be available anywhere near 16. There's no other ILB I'd want us to take in the first two rounds either. Taking an ILB early means we downgraded at ILB while improving literally nothing else with that pick. We've already seen the defense struggle when Mosley and Orr were in. Please please please Ozzie prioritize OLB and CB first.

Damn this sucks. So many great players leaving Baltimore too early lately

So many CB's to study, so many to like. At least one is very likely to be BPA early. Right now my top guys are 1 Lattimore 2 Wilson 3 Jones 4 Tankersly 5 White I also seem to like Jackson, J Lewis and Elder more than most. People have pretty mixed opinions on Adoree as a CB, but his return skills alone are going to make him a steal. He will change so many games because of it.

Wth Hester

Yeah that part stuck out to me. They didn't seem too concerned about OLB, but who knows. It was interesting Ozzie listed Judon and Z Smith as young guys who can develop, but didn't mention Correa. My biggest takeaway was that even without them going into specifics, it seemed like they all had a good understanding of what went wrong and how to fix it. They realize CB depth is a big issue, which is nice to hear considering how its largely been ignored for awhile. And despite the offense repeatedly having the same problems during the year, Bisciotti made it clear that we didn't run it enough, or well enough, and that must change.

Wasn't expecting Noah Brown to enter. I haven't studied him but he's really talented and I've seen some really impressive plays from him

I like Jones more for our defense. Wilson should excel in a press scheme

Lewis really isn't a good example of an off field issue guy we took a chance on. Didn't he just get in a fight? Big deal, especially for an olineman. And he was a 4th round pick in a round where we had five picks. Almost no risk there. Idk how different the board would look if the FO didn't care about off field as much, but it does seem like almost everyone drafted lately has that red star player feel to them.

This. It's part of the balancing act of building a championship team. So many great players wouldn't be what the FO refers to as red star players, but you do need some real leaders to win a super bowl. It does seem like 'good guys' is all we've been drafting lately. I definitely would like to see us taking some more calculated risks, like Spence or Tim Williams. I get why we wouldn't draft a player with DV background, but there's plenty of 'troubled' players who are making teams pay forpassing on them.

Putting him at corner would be taking away what he does best

Hooker has some really special ability making plays on the ball. I think he'd make some mistakes while he's still learning the position (He's a first year starter, was behind Bell and Powell), but he'd make up for it with some incredible plays and turnovers. His potential is amazing. It'd be pretty hard to pass him up

I want to see us grab Curtis Samuel in the 2nd. He'd give us a legit playmaker on offense who could fill the slot role and be effective from the backfield. Most of Flacco's throws nowadays are short dump offs where the receiver has to make someone miss, but the problem is we have only one elusive player in the open field (Dixon). I'd like to see up be aggressive and trade up for him because players like him don't usually fall too much. His athleticism and elusiveness is special and he's not a bad route runner at all. I love him
