Times like this make me really want to doubt Ozzie. This draft he just had better BOOM!
Welp. So much for that 1st rounder.
3 hours ago, Winchester said:Joe Cool has some maturing and talented weapons as well. Maxx and Ben Watson will challenge the patsies for the best TE tandem in the league. Perriman Campanaro and Chris Moore are as skilled and explosive as any young WRs in the league. Chris Moore could of broke the college receiving TD record if he did not have to wait on so many throws!! He waited on throws from a terrible QB and still totally roasted the best cornerbacks in college. Because of having to wait on throws his sharp route running was underrated and unrecognized til just before draft festival. Then Mayock and a couple of the gurus right b4 the draft said the Chris Moore is really good and is going to out perform many of the early round WRs. Then Campanaro only needs to avoid injury. His skills and upside are immense. He is far more athletic and explosive than the slots he is compared to. Perriman has everything you could want in a receiver. Except he is a little stiff in his routes but his elite acceleration make up for it. Max is finally getting in shape and on his way to being an elite TE. Jensen Is going to help fans forget KO at left guard. Strong athletic and nasty. Urschel was a clear upgrade over Zuttah at center once he adjusted at center. He is far stronger and more explosive. Yanda is the best at his position. Wagner is the best right tackle in the league when he is not injured. He, Jensen and Urschel all leaned out and tacked on muscle this offseason. If Ron Stanley and Monroe can hold left tackle the oline is gonna be flat out dominant. Dixon is the best running back receiver to come out of college in several years. He is very skilled, has a top shelf work ethic and plays with pride. He has Said he wants to get faster and stronger. If he loses 10 lbs of fat and tacks on 10 lbs of muscle he could be the best running back in this draft. Tacking speed and power to his already awesome skills will put him in the same class as priest Holmes,Marshall faulk. All those weapons is quite an arsenal for Trestman to concoct a variety of schemes never seen before in one offense.
I agree with most everything your saying however I have a gut feeling Reynolds might leap frog Camp. Also I see Jensen at center and Urschel at Guard.
If he plays well inside then that puts more pass rushers on the field.

Why not?

He is not going to make or break this team and for his sake I hope he reconsiders.
This. He's made enough money where he can walk away while he's still mostly healthy. I love the guy. I honestly don't know if there is a better human being on this team, but for him and his family's sake I hope he reconsiders. It's just not worth it.
3 hours ago, 757RavensFan said:That was a horrible comment. If you read the article, Pitta stated at some point in the future he's gonna need a hip replacement. So he'll be more than capable of walking his daughter's down the aisle.
I agree it was a horrible comment, but having a hip replacement doesn't mean he's not going to be in a wheel chair in his 50's if he get's injured again. Sometimes you just gotta know when to hang up the cleats. Pitta is one of my favorite Ravens, but I would rather see him live out his days healthy with the money he has made still being healthy enough to have a career after football than see him have a thousand yard 10 td season only to reinjure himself and not be able to walk up a flight of stairs and has to live the rest of his life on disability. 50 years of regret for not seeing if he can make a come back, but living a healthy happy life with his family otherwise or risk living the rest of his life getting pushed around in a wheel chair by his wife?
Yeah horrible comment, but life isn't a fairy tale and its not guaranteed after another hip injury a hip replacement will make him "more than capable" of walking his daughters down the aisle.
Hope it's worth not being able to walk those two girls of yours down the aisle buddy.

I'd be more interested to see the percentage of injuries on turf as opposed to regular grass fields
10 minutes ago, Deflated Football said:With our luck with DB's staying healthy, I would take Frank Walker at this point.
We would be better off not playing anyone at corner and just have 2 three more linebackers to rush and just hope A. We get a sack or B. The receiver doesn't catch it. At least then we don't have to worry about PI

Jarrett Johnson
I think Stanley makes the most impact for the same reasons as everyone else on here. Although I think Correa actually gives us a pretty big upgrade that deserves more chatter. I think he can do everything Upshaw did plus I see him actually being able to develop his pass rush to be superior to upshaws.
Good points made around the board. Thought it was a question worth asking with kafusi having played OLB and KC playing inside at times. Can't say I completely disagree with anyone.

What makes you say that?
1 minute ago, rmw10 said:Kaufusi is a 3-4 DE mostly. You might see him on occasion standing up, but he's a hand in the dirt guy.
I think he's more of a OLB personally. I think he's better standing up than with his hand in the dirt. He reminds me somewhat of Ted Hendricks
So now that we have kafusi... Is there a possibility KC is going to be a MLB and kafusi will be the 4th OLB.
1 hour ago, JoeyFlex5 said:Liked the first 2 picks. Hated this one. You can't pass on billings Bullard and fuller for this guy. 6'7" and stands straight up when he plays. He will get BLASTED off the line and wiped out of plays.
Look up Ted Hendricks. It can work.
49 minutes ago, balfan23 said:Like Keleche Osemele?
Or ngata?
dont see how these are bold predictions. Three bold predictions from me would be
1. trade back into first round for a pass rusher
2. we do not address tackle in the draft
3. We do not draft an offensive position until the end of the fourth round
Glad I waited to come on here and bash Ozzie and company for the cut.
I hope we get Jack, but Ive got a feeling Dallas is going to grab him. They said they weren't going QB so I think they go with Ramsey or Jack. Hope I'm wrong.
Enter Myles Jack
If Robert Aguayo runs under 4.3 I think he could make it to first round consideration.
51 minutes ago, Jacquouille said:I still don't believe Ngakoue will be available, but that's nitpicking because there will be some good pass rushers in the 4th (Schobert, Fackrell, Ochi, maybe Jenkins...) and the rest of the draft has me drooling. I also find it realistic, which makes it even better. One of my favourite mocks so far.
Talent wise he should not be there, but he is listed pretty low on most boards so who knows with Ngakoue. If you take him in the 2nd some will say its too early if you take him in the fourth some will say its too late. I think he's a guy where we really wont ever know his draft stock because he's going to slide one way or another by way of what we as fans don't see and that's the interviews.

Personally I don't get why everyone is in such s hurry to rush Zuttah out of his spot. He's the best we have had since Birk. Urschel is NOT a center. He's a. Exceptional guard that I think can be a starter, but he just did not look good at center.
