Mike Thomas (S. Miss) ***Only added since all the positive reviews from the board

Very agresive indeed.

Ending with (in my estimation), 3 starters this year (Tunsil, Cravens, Trapper) & some nice part timers this year with starter material going forward (Tretola, Alexander). And finishing with some development and Special teamers.

According to Jaylon Smith's surgeon he says Smith should fully recover. He says his knee should become strong and stable and the nerve damage should fully recover as well.

Do you guys think this changes things and a team does end up using a late round pick or even mid round pick on him?

I think the top of round 4 will be worth a lot this year. Personally, If someone is definitely not playing this year , I wouldn't spend more than a 4th. After all a large number of 4th rounders get red-shirted anyway. Though there are expectations of starting potential at round 4.

Why?

I would be happy this draft;

1. L. Tunsil
2. N. Spense
3. K. Joseph
4. B. Kafusi
4. S. Wright
4. Y. Ngakoue
4. J. Smith
6. S. Davis
6. M. Boehringer

No need for spence there, just go with Yannick and pick S, Sheppard in 2nd.

There is a new update on the CBS boards (Deion Jones and Su'A Cravens are going in round 2 now)

Really like seeing Maliek Collins available in the 4th. (Yannick went a little before the 2nd 4th rounder I would have taken him there)

I like this result actually (thanks to the "late round steals" thread for the RB Keith Marshall)

I like this one, I kinda like the CB's taken when they were taken too.

Nkemdiche in the 2nd round is a classic Ozzie move too. (DL, possible 1st round talent with Off-field red flags)

I also believe we are overdue for a Good Center prospect.

Keep 'em coming I don't watch much College ball so it is nice to have names to investigate.

NO

I think people just want to see movement. Kind of a side effect of the long wait. Stay where we are, draft a Blue-chipper, and save those 3rd and 4th rounders for Ozzie, he does his best there anyway.

I like Sterling Sheppard but I don't think he makes it to round 3 I see him going in round 2.

Sadly I agree. But Sheppard in the 3rd would be perfect. As the first two rounds will be bigger needed positions. And positions that the Ravens don't regularly strike out on.

So far we've met with:

Laremy Tunsil

Ronnie Stanley

Jason Spriggs

Cody Whitehair

Joe Dahl

All excellent choices (with exception of Stanly at #6).
I would prefer Jason Spriggs in the 2nd.....but hearing he has climbed the board to late first round.
Dahl in the 4th would be nice.

Totally agree with this mindset. Do not waste a #6 pick on an OT.
Top 10 picks should be playmakers, not play enablers.

which is the most accurate big board on draftek?

I usually go for the "composite board" as the most realistic

However as of yesterday it still hadn't been updated since 22Mar16.

Wow I really like the way this turned out!

I don't agree that Gillmore is overrated. I think he is the best TE we have and if he stays healthy he will be one of the best in the game.

 

My bold prediction: we go Zeke with first, WR with second and OT with third. 

Then use all the other picks on defense.

Interestingly this favors Ozzie's strengths in finding quality on the Defensive side later.

Though I think a decent OT/G can be found in round 4-5 who needs some coaching and strength to become a starter.

If the Ravens Like Jack, then you can bet the Jaguars will like him even more.

This years WR draft class seems really bad. We'll have to rely on SSS (coming back from a major injury and ageing), BP (coming back from a season long injury, that just wouldn't heal right and also unproven) and Mike Wallace (may be on the downturn of his carreer). It's still probably one our better WR groups. Gosh, we're so bad at creating passing offenses. I dread Joe Flaccos retirement, when we'll go back to looking for a franchise QB.

All true, but the guys I mentioned are better than most our guys.

There are a number of WR's that I think would be good fits for the Ravens: (here is the order I would rank them)

Michael Thomas 

Sterling Shepard

Pharoh Cooper

Rashard Higgins

Kenny Lawler

Hunter Sharp

Trajae Sharpe

Campanaro is going to have a huge season!!

I say False

We drafted Camp in the last round of a historic WR class . He will be cut during training camp after yet another injury.

I've been seeing all the Myles Jack hype here. But he is coming off an injury. 

I wonder if you could get the same type of player later in Deion Jones. And still get your DE/OLB pass rusher in Bosa.

My choice is Bosa and target Deion Jones around the 3rd round.

Try to trade back a spot or two, get more picks, have some other team make that decision, and "settle" for the player they don't choose?

I disagree with this option, moving two back could net you neither one.

Plus it is as indecisive a decision one could make. A GM that move d down because he couldn't decide is a GM that shouldn't be a GM.

sighhhhh...........
