if Bosa, Hargreaves, Ramsey, and Treadwell are available, who do the Ravens get?
I'd take Tunsil but I don't like Stanley in the top 5 either, to me he is a border #10 guy. He's got great size but I really don't like his run blocking. That's the part of his game that I just can't get over to take him so high. If we trade back I think he becomes a possibility but at 4 or 5 he's a reach in my mind. I believe in general trading back is probably our best option, collect some future high picks and what not.
Trade back and grab Stanley. Grab Boyd with the original second and Yannick with the extra. Then bell or Thompson in the third. Boom. All needs addressed in 3 rounds.
Stanley may go top4 as well. But trading back and getting Stanley and Boyd would be awesome.
dont understand why the Ravens are paying Mallet more than the veterans minimum, absolutely ridiculous, he's mediocre at best and a cry baby, he's not a Raven.
He is terrible and have a horrible history of being a delinquent. But he has 'promise'...sounds like a disaster waiting to happen imho.
Mallet has good upside and honestly if the guy just was more mature he could be a solid backup quarterback and more
sure he could be a good backup but brynn renner looked good enough to be a back up in the preseason and he's on a rookie contract!
Vernon Hargreaves III, Mike Williams (Clemson), Karl Joseph
i mean they will probably go later but their talent could definitely be picked early.
then hopefully Dadi Nicolas is available in round 4
or a sleeper for Guard if Kelechi leaves
NFL owes the Ravens 3 games now. Wow.
Gabriel, I blame the Raiders loss more so on Pees. We shouldn't have needed more than 30 points to beat a second year QB.
Well to be fair... as we see now that is a very competent offense with the o-line murray and the two wideouts... all im sayingis trestman could have easily won us that game
I was going to say Cardinals, Jax, and Dolphins. Raiders game was a disaster as a team effort.
Deon Bush is going to be a solid pick for a late round
I'd love to have him here. He's a pretty good enforcer and is great at causing fumbles.
definitely. also would love Karl Joseph. We really need a playmaker in Baltimore's secondary.
John Harbaugh lost this game peeps...1st quarter...going for it on 4th and 1 with Schaub at QB? What was he thinking. Just when you think it can't possibly get any worse!
imagine if all our injured players come back next year strong along with a top 5 draft pick, going to have a very successful 2016 season.
It's not just one Top 5 pick - it's the magic Ozzie can work with an early pick in every single round. We're in all our games - not getting blown out - so I figure some key pieces and we will be a pretty good team next season if not a dominant one.
I live in the present. The Next year positive image is ok as it is fantasy.
well sure if you wanna live in the present we blow haha but why live in the present when the future looks so much brighter
And you people called me crazy for wanting to draft Jared Goff -__-
Flacco was still on pace for well over 4000 yards with basically zero weapons. I think that's as close to chicken salad as you can get. Chicken parm maybe?
jazz1988 If you really watch, Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees even back to Dan Marino they all have turned their decent WR corps to an above average WR group. If Edelman or Brandon LaFell or Marques Colston or Randall Cobb were to play for other QB's that are decent, they wouldn't put up the numbers that they had. Just look at Greg Jennings or James Jones, same situation. James Jones is doing pretty good right now because of Rodgers.
pechillo clearly didn't watch the Packers/Bears game last night. Or Tom Brady without Gronk last year. Is there a way to turn off notifications for this? lol
I know DB is a huge need right now but with a top 5 pick I would take either Bosa or Nkemdiche. Mainly because I think Karl Joseph is a shut down DB. He's everywhere around the ball. One hell of an athlete. We could get him in the 2nd.
I just hope Doctson can fall to us somehow
If the draft were today and Jared Goff fell to us, I'd want to trade with the Sailboats at #8 or Norleans for #9 - try to get a 2017 1st and 2016 4th or something. One of the DBs should be there at that 8 or 9 and we'd do ourselves a nice favour for next year.
if we trade back we still gain alot like a 3rd rounder
Looks like Colts are going to part ways with Chuck Pagano. How amazing would it be if we got Chucky back for DC?!
Hypothetically, if the Ravens do get a low draft pick and end the season under .500 do we go into rebuilding? or continue to try to plug in pieces of our puzzle.
And a new FS and edge rusher. We can take care of those things in one offseason in my opinion.
well i definitely think we need a FS if our young guys can't break out of their potential, with secondary it takes time. I also think Flacco needs weapons if he wants to be successful. I always hate on Flacco but thats mainly because the receivers we have other than Steve Smith are not the types of receivers that make QB's look good. Those receivers are Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith, Derrick Mason, even players like Josh Gordon or Brandon Marshall make QB's look good because of the...
in my judgement we have been rebuilding since we won the sb. The pieces are just all not in place.
I definitely think Ravens should draft a QB early at least have him learn from Flacco so that he won't make Flacco's mistakes lol
While that's true Bmore, you'll also have answers to those assumptions prior to the draft, so it won't be an unknown by then.
Trust me, I wouldn't be jumping up and down and I'd probably feel the same way that I did about the Mosley pick- I understand the pick, great player, just not who I wanted.
I mean maybe not early but definitely in the mid rounds they could snag a small school QB with talent and potential but it would definitely make sense because next year flacco is getting paid way too much for his performance this year.
i wouldn't mind a low draft pick...with the pick we should get either Ziggy, Jared Goff, or Vernon Hargreaves
lol we won the super bowl three seasons ago because of our awesome defense and because flaccos weapons made him look really good.
lmbo Seriously. Our defense was ranked 18th. They blew a 28-6 lead in the SB and nearly lost! And those weapons? Two of them just made Kap look so good he's sitting on the bench. The 3rd was cut from SD, is now a Steeler and did nothing again today. Get a grip.
Lol dude pechillo you're not serious right? You do realize that we gave up more points and yards than any other Super Bowl winning team in history right? Even the biggest Flacco haters will admit that 11-0 TD-INTs was the primary reason for that run.
BTW anyone in North Carolina come watch Elon football. We're making a rise you won't wanna miss it
#34 BmoreBird
That's awesome, I'll have to check it out
definitely bud
Might be the most talented Ravens team this year in a long time. Very balanced. If we can stay healthy, we are super bowl champions *knock on wood*
new rule change is just flat out stupid. PAT's are supposed to be easy. Thats why whenever someone ever misses it, its hilarious. Now people will be going for 2 much more, and will be so annoying when keeping track of the game
PAT's are there to let people relax and let the audience grab a snack. This is just change to make a change
I like it - we have a good kicker, so anything that makes kicking the ball that much more challenging plays into our favor.
Yeah. How stupid to make a change that makes the game more interesting and competitive.
Ravens trade 4th Rd pick for Bennett? thoughts??
i agree as well, just a thought though. i think he would be able to help a lot
Way, way too much $$$ especially with Pitta
He want's too much money. Bad mix with having Pitta on board too.
Josh Shaw is probably my favorite player in the draft. I really really think he has potential to be one of the best CB's in the league honestly.
CB no, but At Safety it is a possibility. He's an outstanding tackler. Seems to be stiff in coverage at times.
I agree P&B, love him at Safety.
Hes a better saftey than Cb, Takles great, knows how to blitz from the FS poaition. raw talent good get for any team.
who do you take if..Gordon, Strong, Perriman, Maxx Williams, Peters are available at 26?
i just see so much of Anquan Boldin in Jaelen Strong. Strong's vertical and power to go up and snatch a ball is similar to Boldin's. And Flacco and Boldin had GREAT chemistry with each other. I think WR at 26 and then one more in the 4th. We've done that before and it makes sense honestly. Unless Perriman is available then I think he could be our Julio Jones kind of, but that's a different topic. I still think Strong and Flacco will be a great tag team in the air.
What concerns me is his agility, he lacks burst out of breaks and route running savvy. I've also heard he isn't nearly as strong as Q (an asset you can use when you're lacking quickness).
He could develop these qualities over time (strength, route running) or not.
Do you think he'll be able to seriously develop route craftyness and unpredictabilty? (some do some don't - e.g. Torrey)
jalen strong will not be in the black and purp
Jaelen Strong. Quinten Rollins. Markus Golden. 4th Rd (Nick O'Leary, Josh Shaw, Stefon Diggs)
David Johnson, Tj Yeldon, or Tevin coleman type RB
if they havent alreaddy taken Gordon/Gurley. But i think AZ takes gurley III
i have AZ taking Gurley also. And I think someone like the Chargers will trade up after their first pick to draft Gordon before we are on the clock. I like Coleman and Johnson but not Yeldon, i think Yeldon is maxed out at potential.
