  1. If Pitta could stay healthy and make a comeback that could be a major difference. However, that probability is not very high, to say the least.
  2. Just hope Bosa or Buckner are available. If not they may trade back. 50-50
  3. When people were saying that the trade between SL and TEN was great for us, the first thing that popped in my mind was that it actually may not change anything. If CLE doesn't go QB, we are still in the situation as before. More than likely, I see us picking between Buckner and Bosa. Can't go wrong either way but let's hope one of them is still available.
  4. I hope Tunsil is as good as they claim, the last few drafts all the tackles drafted in the first round have been pretty meh, if you go back the last 4 drafts there has been 18 tackles drafted in the first round, the only decent ones are lane johnson, riley reiff and zack martin, the rest have been pretty underwhelming. Bosa or Buckner. The D/LB core is getting long in the tooth and must be replaced in short order. Elvis/Terrell may have one good season left......may have!
  5. Totally agree. The Ravens can ill afford another #1 pick with a potential bum knee. If he comes up lame like Perriman then that's two years in a row and the owner will none too pleased with that outcome.
  6. LOL Buckner is the 3rd best paler in this draft! Spencer is not. Agreed. Buckner any day over Spence. Problem is the Chargers are also interested in him. Got a bad feeling that both him and Bosa will be gone by #6.
  7. Unfortunately you're probably correct. Not only that but the Chargers will probably take Buckner with the third pick.
  8. Can't go wrong with Bosa or Buckner. Would love to see them go back to a legit 4/3 with two beefcakes in the middle(Jernigan & Williams) and Buckner and someone else covering the pass rushing DE's. It'll help take some heat off of the LB's being our primary and, for the most part, our only pass rushers. Of course having Buckner available means that the rumors of the Chargers picking him are bogus, which would be no big surprise as one approaches the draft.
  9. He wouldn't get past 3. Chargers would take him. Most mock drafts have Buckner going to the Chargers and Bosa going to the Cowboys. Let's hope that's not the case or the Ravens trade up to get the game changing pass rusher. I can't see the Raven's trading up. As you think both pass rushers are gone, My thinking is Tunsil, Ramsey and one of the QB's will also be gone, which would leave us in position to snag Jack, Not a bad pick. Course, we don't know who the FO has on their board, nor can anyone know what Cleveland or jerry Jones are thinking. Either of them could pick someone totally unexpected. I guess Jack would be a good fall back player but his knee has more than a few scouts concerned. With the drafting of Perriman last year the Ravens can ill afford to have another 1st rounder sit out for an extended period of time because of a bum knee.
  10. He wouldn't get past 3. Chargers would take him. Most mock drafts have Buckner going to the Chargers and Bosa going to the Cowboys. Let's hope that's not the case or the Ravens trade up to get the game changing pass rusher.
  11. Written on more than one occasion it should be Bosa or Buckner. Can't go wrong with either and they would be fulfilling the wishes of the owner. There's talk of the Chargers jumping on the Buckner bandwagon but if they pass he should be there for the Ravens.
  12. Play Ball! Let Cal ump. Aberdeen.....here come 'da Ravens. Great cause!
  13. He has the talent he was the 3rd player taken in the draft that year. I don't know why people hate this signing. We have 90 spots to fill for the offseason and we don't have to break it down to 53 until near the beginning of the season. High reward low risk signing here. If he doesn't pan out he gets cut before the season. I bet if he got in shape and actually ran behind a decent O-line he would produce better stats. Nothing against the Colts or Browns but no running back they have put behind their O-lines have producted the last several years. If he gets into good football shape he has the speed and size to produce. Like Harbaugh and Ozzie said it is up to him to get football ready. If, If, If! That should say it all. Pass.
  14. From our family to the Walker & Ravens family our sincerest and heartfelt condolences. May the Almighty reach down and offer them succor and comfort. May he rest in eternal peace.
  15. Thoughts and prayers to the young man, his family and friends.
  16. Speaking of needing speed at the WR position what's the latest on Perriman?
  17. Agree with the prognosticators that the Ravens should and probably will go with a pass rusher. Bosa or Buckner will do just fine. The way the NFL is set up nowadays it's imperative a team has the ability to pressure a QB. With Smith gone and Suggs & Elvis not getting any younger it should be a no brainer.
  18. Myles Jack is a better football player than that garbage review you linked. In college his coaches just wanted to use him everywhere they could to help their school and program. Once Jack is able to settle into a single role he will be able to excel. Also D. Smith is now gone, allowing Mosley to slide to Mike and perhaps Jack to come in and play Will. Joey Bosa, is okay but really a one trick pony that will not be as effective at the next level due to losing his size advantage. He is just big and strong and fast. His pass rush is a bull rush without explosion but he has a high motor that got him by in college. He was also an after thought before Noah Spence was kicked from the team. Buckner is a better choice IMHO, however Ravens are already quite stout along the D-line. Possible they go after Buckner, but I doubt it. Reality is Myles Jack, Vernon Hargreaves or Ronnie Stanley are the most likely prospects to be drafted, should the Ravens hold at #6 and not try to trade up or down. Personally I think K.O. will stay and Monroe be cut, but not force the Ravens to go OT in the first round. Hargreaves is good, real good, but my personal take is Florida Gators players (specifically secondary) do not learn to tackle well enough. This is a concern, because as good as any player is including Hargreaves, players will catch deep balls sometimes but will he be strong enough to make sure tackles by wrapping up. Every ex-Gator secondary player I've seen in the last 10 years always go for this big hit, instead of wrapping up their man and ensuring they bring him down. Hargreaves also does this "gator chomp" (i call it) tackle, where he appears to wrap up but really is a well timed body slam type move. This scares me when drafting a CB/S this high. Elam had similar type issues, he was relatively good but missing tackles caught up to him and seemed to affect his confidence in a significant manner. I honestly do think the Ravens trade up to #2, or #3 to get their guy. Might even give them at shot at Ramsey. There are definitely teams that would like extra picks to build a roster and the Ravens might not even need to give up much in a trade. Moving within 5 picks is not going to break the bank for the Ravens. Instead of complaining a player isn't good enough try explaining why whoever you think they should take is worth it with facts or your own perspective. If you just believe everything the media tells you than your not really forming your own opinions. One can bloviate all they want about a certain topic or player but the bottom line is that Jack is a real(not imagined) gamble that the vast majority of scouts say is not worth a # 6 pick. He had a very serious knee injury and no matter how good an athlete is a bum knee will cancel out the best of them. It's been quite a while since the Ravens picked this high and they can ill afford to gamble with such a questionable pick as him. They're in the rebuilding mode on D(for the most part) and ill afford a setback with those plans. A 2,3 pick maybe. A #1, esp. at 6, no way!
  19. Kinda puts things into perspective, doesn't it? It certainly does. Hopefully they won't waste the #6 on him. Although a different position we don't need another Elam type pick.
  20. Myles Jack? Instead of Bosa or Buckner? No, No, No. Please!
