    I'm not sure where to put this since there is no factual backing for this, but what would people think about taking Hunter Henry in the second? He's got the surest hands in the draft (no drops last year) and does all his work in the middle of the field. He'd bring an excellent contrast to Maxx Williams since Watson won't be here for too long, Boyle keeps getting suspended, and Gillmore keeps getting injured.

    I don't see it as likely, but he's one of those prospects where his game is hard to poke holes in.

    He'd make a nasty combo but too high for him there. I would take him with a low fourth (as an option) if my running back options fall through.

    I mean none of us are doctors, but from what I heard a PCL injury can take a long time to fully recover from.

    No matter whats being said it's disturbing for him not being running in full after almost a year. I'm rooting for him no doubt but we need to double down for insurance. Your two best receivers (now questionable with Wallace) coming off major injuries isn't a good jump off point. Competition will produce the diamond. Relying on them both being healthy and effective is not an option I'd be comfortable as a coach or GM. Period.

    On to another article of topic sorta:

    One cb I hope we aren't looking at is Apple. I think he's an absolute bust. When he plays off he seems clueless about what to do at the top of the route, when the wr makes the first break then Apple gets lost too often, he jumps when he should turn his hips too often. Burbridge absolutely worked him and exploited this weakness, I think he's gonna get destroyed in the NFL unless he is facing #2s on every snap and is always in press coverage. If we are hoping for a cb in the 2nd then I'm fine with that, as long as Apple isn't the guy. Alexander, fuller, wj3, I think all are far safer picks

    Never saw anything to make me believe he was sound (Apple).

    Eagles do not have a second round pick...the Rams have it, so the best we would get is a third, which I would love because if Bosa is gone and we covet Hargreaves then we can get an additional pick or bundle the two 3rd rounders and sneak back into the second.

    Yeah was corrected awhile back. Increasingly I'm starting to believe the Ravens may move back with the Rams a grab some picks. Ragland projects in that Range and he was brought in to kick the pick. I wouldn't be surprised if they went that route but I'd rather target Mckensie at that spot. Hargreaves won't make to the Rams spot if we moved into that position.

    Jets are in talks with the Bears involving a trade for Mo.Wilkerson and a swap of first-round picks

    Looks like yet another team is attempting to get in position to move-up for Goff. I'm starting to think the Ravens will not be the gate-keepers to Goff, which isn't really a bad thing--it means two QBs off the board before we pick.

    If the Cowboys really want Zeke, they could trade down and probably still get him. That might make them more receptive to a trade. Plus they traded down pretty far a couple years ago, so they're not afraid to do it (in fact, the Cowboys often move around in the draft)

    The Cowboys always try to thwart the Ravens. I fear they will again. I believe thats Jerrys sole aim lol. He wants to be thought of as a great GM and his closest Rival and best thought of is, guess who? Ozzie.

    A couple of drafts occurred when he jumped right in front of the Ravens so why would this be anything different?!

    Interesting answer to the question about a Jerry Rice. I would have thought he say thats what we're aiming for. Instead he says who know's. LOL
    I thought GM's would have a pretty good feel for the draft long before the draft. I also find it strange or alarming that you'd wait until 3 weeks out to set up your board. Most fans started the process of that before the seasons ink was dry. Sure it will change millions of times but the early bird catches the worm. Lastly why you tell your opponent where you plan to look for specific position. Thats seems dumb. To me if you can't get the first round right in terms of a receiver then why heighten the need and opportunity to acquire one until the 3rd and beyond. In a poker match the Ravens have gotten fleeced for a player(s) in multiple drafts. Ozzie usually plays it pretty cool. I said usually. DeCosta tends to leak information that they live to regret. Mums the word

    Let's not sleep on Zeke because he's a phenomenal talent. When you factor in the AFC North and the tough RBs all teams seem to have, and also the fact that Harbs likes to run the ball to relieve pressure on the passing game, how can you look past Elliott? He'll immediately become one of the top 2 RBs in the division and perhaps the AFC. He'll do more for Flacco coming off a knee injury than anybody else can. The last factor that comes to mind is the fact that chop blocks are now illegal kind of diminishing the effectiveness of ZBS. So, we need a back that can create seams and has great vision and escapability but is also a home run hitter that can catch the ball. Who fits that description better than Zeke? So, while I'm high on VH3 too, I won't put it past the Ravens to select Zeke if he's available.

    Agreed. We grabbed Jamal high and the same could be case here. Like I said I wouldn't be opposed to such a move at all. He's a true factor in my book. If they take him it would help immensely.

    exactly, lets say he is available to us in the 2nd round....then what? we may be able to trade and get more picks should we know another team is highly interested...

    The visit clearly represents potential trade bait. If a team thats needy in a certain range deems him to be viable  the Ravens want to know what his potential is worth. Not hearsay but actual eyes on projections. Lynch may vault himself into the teens conversation and his pro day tho not stellar seems to warrant at least a conversation. The Rams may want to ensure in getting him and look to move down to do so. We could offer some value to them. Even the Eagles may have limited interest. This draft is truly un predictable. Being at 6th is the gateway to move up and grab a slider for multiple positions. Not just a QB. Some team may want a Hargreaves, Jack, Zeke, or Bosa and be willing to give an enormous amount to acquire one of them.

    I concur 

    lol

    Me too with Zeke. I wasn't as high on him but I will concur that he's elite. 

    I believe VH3 would be similar to T. Mathieu in turnovers and scheme capabilities. 

    I'm only torn between these two currently.

    I don't love this RB class. I think it's a GREAT RB class for receiving RB, but we have one of those in Allen, IMO. I still do like Allen a lot, though, but I don't know if I want to rely on him either. I do agree with your premise here, though. 

    I think the class is solid because they also provide good hands out of the backfield. I think Buck and Forsett provide some usefulness in receiving but Drake is a converted receiver and can be lined up in the backfield/Slot or on the perimeter. He, Zeke, Prosise, and Booker could be used in similar roles. Which I don't see in West and Richardson. The hybrid back is something Levon Bell provides. It's the wave of the future. We need a bell cow sure. We have plenty of room to stash one on the practice squad.

    He's right. We have a bunch of supporting but no real lead. 

    I agree we need to add a younger versatile back. I wouldn't be the least bit upset with Elliot if he's the BPA at the position but I see others that should warrant a third or fourth.

    Elliot

    Drake

    Booker

    Prosise

    In that order.

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

    I find this article to be on point with the rumor aspect of this thread. I think the fans voices are being heard and taken into account. I think an honest attempt to address positions that have waned will be adequately addressed with a few consensus type players.
