The Ram' GM apparently saying he doesn't know who he's going to select with the 1st overall pick and that there are a number of people they could go with. Don't think people are going to fall for that mate!

I really hope they have an idea of who they are drafting (goff)

to make a move like that , OH you need to know who you have.

me, I think the move was stupid,  on the rams behalf

Tenn , way to go.

I have mixed feelings.. I am happy that at least 1 qb will be taken before we pick.

But on the other hand rams could have traded these picks with us to move up to get their qb before 49ers. 

Is there any chance Tunsil falling to us now?

I have mixed feelings also, partly due to me wanting those pics,

the rams did give up a lot of pics 

this is why I love our organization,

we try and pay fair rarely do we over pay

we trade the way a trade is suppose to trade,

the rams could have liked both players and watched the board and see who falls

the rams have a good team, just a piece (jeff fisher) away.

my new bold prediction

Tenn will trade up with the ravens,

thus we will get their both 2nd round pic along with a 2nd next year,,,

what? lol  

wow, 

I really did not see that coming,

I am happy for Tenn but the rams gave up an awful lot

I have to admit didn't see that one coming, 

may be they trade up

with us, lol

first let me say

you can really find good reads here , great information,

Mc Raven great post & boldnpurple absolutely great response

great day to be  RAVEN

If it's any consolation, the Ravens could be in play to trade up for Tunsil with the Browns  (doubt it though)

yeah,,

I doubt it also

According to Peter King, the Tennessee Titans have a "solid offer" for the number one pick. They may wait until closer to the draft but it will be interesting to see which team has offered that deal.

A team may trade ,, but

some years back drew rosenhause  pull off the greatest trick

don't quote me, but it was  something like;

he pretended like he was on the phone drumming up interest in a certain player  (was trying to find but could not)

somebody may trade up but I think it is just an inquiry, Tenn wanted some pick alot of picks.

I see the first trade possibly with the cowboys, 

I must be bad, cause

all I see are the possibilities, formations 

lets get ZEEK , devontae booker  or my favorite

KEITH MARSHALL  (UGA)

all jokes aside, I trust the FO , and I do hope the best for Pitta

I would be pretty damn happy if we were able to get an extra pick and Jack.  But I don't see him making it to us, let alone past SF...but anything can happen

a mixture of

what you think will happen + what you like to happen

= BOLD PREDICTION, 

my bold prediction

     1. we trade back with philly 8th

          Tenn tunsil 

          Clev  bosa/ QB  

          S.D ramsey

          dallas  ZEEEEK/bosa

          jacksonville  I think they are secretly in love with VHlll

          Philly QB

          S,F Buckner 

          RAVENS = who is left  oh, Myles Jack

     2. trade up noah spence

     3. late draft pick RB Keith Marshall (UGA) will be the starter by week 3

My top 6 off the board would be Ramsey, Tunsil, Jack, Spence, Hargreaves and Buckner in that order. After watching the film on the cornerbacks and pass rushers, Bosa has no explosiveness. He routinely takes off plays, he doesn't pursue and he is slow to react. Can't figure out all the the hype over him. If you go back and watch Suggs and Dumervil, Spence looks closer to those guys than anyone else. Buckner is a good solid player but if we want pass rush, it is Spence. Off field issues aside, in my opinion, that's the top 6 guys that should be in the Ravens sights.

well said ,
I am a fan of jack also,
but I am a bigger fan of Spence

Round 1= Bosa or Buckner
Round 2 move up = Noah Spence

we will be back to dominant D

I like your thinking,

I don't get the Spence + Jaylon Smith move. You might have 2 guys not playing in the NFL in 1-2 years if Spence is suspended again and Jaylon retires because of nerve damage.

 

I would only take 1 player with those issues in the first 3 rounds to be honest. Jaylon Smith will probably fall in the 4th

Noah drug preference is not an addiction it's a party drug 

yes it is wrong and illegal . I do believe that is behind him ( and I am sure the FO thinks so)  

players do turn it around, and if noah is suspended again he is out for a year,, lol

first the nfl has a protocol to get a suspension for a year.

jaylon well that is my dream pick, I am ok with him missing this year and I wanted to spend a 4th not a 3rd

zack orr could have success if not well jaylon has a year of NFL rehab.    

taking your trade with the rams;

     1. noah

     1/2. will jackson lll

      2. Jaylon smith

We're a run first team and thats our identity, the times we've been forced to rely on Joe's arm it hasn't been pretty.

I think that was our identity when we had no QB,

we may in fact still be a run first, but times have changed

a team need to be able to pass and pass successfully

I wrote about us being a passing team(possibly west coast)

our RB's are average  - speed, - power and - acuity and balance  

EZE will make us a run first,,,,,,

so for the sake of this post,

treadwell is slow but he is good 

I watched him on nfl access last night,  a good kid

I have always been a fan

we are drafting early and need instant coffee 

possibly a trade back, pick him and the rest in defense,

idk

I do agree with tru11 

many factors to or WR's but we need a true #1

Eagles are definitely interested in a 1st round QB. Sal Pal, Jaws and others tied into the organization have said scouts, and other high ranking people in the organization want to land their QB of the future. At 13, where they were when they signed Bradford, getting one of the top 2 QBs was cost prohibitive which is why they did what they did.

Bradfords deal is really a 1 year prove it deal, and Daniel is more or less there to install the offense, compete with Bradford and possible mentor a young QB beyond this year if they release Bradford.

Word is they really like Goff and Lynch, but think Wentz is a sure-fire franchise QB. They've inquired about the 1st and 2nd overall picks, confirmed. Dont be surprised if the Eagles do go up and get their guy. Bradford and Daniel have nothing to do with it.

I am only speculating

but I think it's only an inquiry and Tenn may want to much

now they may love both and prefer 1,

kinda like us we love matt ryan and our boy JOE,

we tried to move up and the price was way to much, so we worked the draft and got our guy

the same will happen again,

whether the browns pick a QB or not ( I really think they will not and thus starting a minor bidding war),

them and Tenn are not the team to watch but the Cowboys

they for some reason are a thorn in our side

they may be looking to trade also 

we are sooooo good and I think we will trade back 

and get a quality player

I think his past woes are behind him,

he was fortunate to experience life after his mistakes,

the drug( party drug) was bad and it was really how he handled the situation,

banned from school and a great cast of team mates, yeah he learned his lesson.

I am a fan, I have mocked him in my past draft, so yes I have heard of him

  I read that this kid is a super steal at a low price because he has a bad past but that was in the past. DeCosta likes him because he is a super strong pass rusher but was banned at Ohio State because of drugs. De Costa said he transferred to E Kentucky where he has turned his life around. I think hw would be worth the try because it would be great to see somebody besides Suggs coming from another side rumnning their QB down

 welcome to the family,you will get used to everybody here

they are a little rude at times but they are smart with great information and opinions

have fun  

we are trading back

TJ Yeldon just had a strong rookie season in Jacksonville. Lacy is good, Ingram is good. Who knows what Richardson is anymore. I'm not advocating for Henry, as I don't think we should spend a draft pick on an RB at all considering our defensive needs and our current plethura of RBs (Even if there's not a clear #1). I think having three starters in the NFL right now means you're putting out a good bit of talent and it's worth looking at. Still, Henry is a really risky pick when you factor in his lack of lateral mobility and deficient hands.  

ok, 

sorry not a good analogy, I was not throwing bama under the bus, that's our football farm

the point is; Trent was drafted early kind of seems fitting we may draft a RB early,

Tunsil is the clear cut 1 I think, most have Ramsey at 2, and then 3 is typically between Jack and zeke, now I'm taking Jack all day but mainly for need and positional value, but in your scenario Jack isn't available. Basing it off of pure talent and tape, I think Zeke is far and away a better prospect than vh3 and buckner. If the ravens at 6 are choosing between buckner, zeke, and vh3, I wouldn't be surprised with zeke one bit and I wouldn't be upset with the pick either. He is in the top tier "elite" prospect list, the other guys are a notch below. 

 

Also, consider that were a zone based West coast offense with a passing game predicated on speed outside and size inside and zeke fits PERFECT. also consider our areas of struggle, converting 3rd downs, consistency, and red zone failures. Zeke makes a massive impact in all of those categories which are very important. After tunsil, ramsey, jack, and bosa, I think Zeke makes by far a bigger impact. 

 

He's not my first choice, but I am 100% in board.

I concur 

lol

justin is a good guy and I think many people here get caught up in the character of a person,

he did produce in his first year as a starter

(an old coach of mine  always said " when your number is called be ready")

all, I mean ALL of our RB's are average

the potential our offense has could just need a dynamic RB (we are a west coast off) 

I am a fan of Elliott and he is good , he does it all

but at 6 no, I agree with many people here we need to go defense

now if we trade back acquire more picks, then no again no

but,,,,

devontae parker is good also 2nd rd (unless we have multiple picks)

my choice is  KEITH MARSHALL  bulldawg out of UGA,check him out   

but if the FO pick him , its all good, 

44 minutes ago, JoeyFlex5 said:

What makes Ramsey the best player though? He is the least proven of all top 5 prospects.

ahhh, 

everything they said,, ( just joking)

for me its the size , speed the way he moves , the confidence

he is good, this is not a knock on the other 

I am of the few who do not see BOSA here, for me I will take buckner over bosa,

but that is just me 

I think it was chatter, he may have been in better shape,

but lets face it elam is bad

I mean bad, bad

really bad

really really bad

very bad , so very bad

idk,  to be honest great in college

not in the nfl

sshhh (he is that bad)
