2xWR, 2xTE, CB, RB, DT, DE/OLB, C, T. All 10 picks.
maybe one TE and one Safety. But I say two TE's cuz we did that with Pitta and Dickson and we kept one of them who turned out to be really good.
1-wr, 2.cb, 3.rb, 4.wr, 5.olb, 6.dt, 7.de, 8.ol(g) 9.and 10. best player available. this would be my draft sequence with our ten picks regardless of which round we draft in.ideally i want to see us trading out of the first round to get an extra 3rd or 4th round pick.
Putta and Dickson TE draft class was increbily strong. This TE draft class in very weak
Trade back or pick at 26?
Green-Beckham will be taken by somebody in the 1st, he's too much of a freak to pass up.
he's definitely a freak but so was tyrann mathieu and ray ray armstrong. I think either Marcus Peters or Green-Beckham will go in the 2nd. other will go in the 1st, but the whole background off field issues are a problem for every team. Even if their interview process goes well. Green-Beckham was also involved with domestic violence and thats a very sensitive subject in the league right now. So we'll see, I could be completely wrong haha the draft is crazy man
I think if Strong is there TAKE HIM
Andre Johnson or Kenny Britt to the Ravens, I think one will likely happen. Britt rather than Johnson. for $$$ reasons
^agreed. I think he'd be a great addition to the team, but he's going to ask for too much and he's going to ask for the ball too much. I think a role WR is better than looking for a #1. I think we have our #1 with Steve Smith. He had an incredible year last year to start off. Slowed down a little bit towards the end, but still very productive. I would like Britt.
We have plenty of role WRs on the roster now. We do need a #1 guy - big, physical guy that will make contested catches and can actually get separation. Smith Sr is great for his age, but not a true #1 any longer.
I should've clarified, but yeah i agree.
If we don't get a ring this upcoming year, we will have a dry next couple year. Yanda, Osemele, Jimmy, Upshaw and Will Hill all FA's next offseason.
Ray Rice and Yanda's cap hits disappear. We'll be able to keep two out of four of those FA's.
^^ exactly. we'll be sitting pretty a year from now i believe, we will be able to re-sign the MUST have guys like jimmy/ko/yanda, i think will hill gets a contract before the season starts, and upshaw will come very cheap due to his lack of numbers and spotlight. we'll have enough remaining cap space to make a splash if needed as well.
I don't see the FO letting Jimmy, Osemele or Yanda leaving... a receiver like Torrey is replaceable
i thought they drafted good players but i don't see any of them making a big impact, disappointing really. I would have given up Ronnie Staley and Bronson for Jalen Ramsey, an actual playmaking difference maker with immediate impact.
STANLEY will be the man....We got a ton of pass rush....we got some promising corners.....we got the WR the front office believes will be the next big thing, what else do you need man??
@juanman7 Im not denying that Stanley won't be the man, but he is not an immediate impact player, they don't even know if he will start! Pass rush is great sure, but that was one of our strengths on defense, we addressed the secondary with a nickel corner, and a very raw prospect, again both non immediate impact. And WR was not in that much of need either with everyone coming back and the signing of Wallace. This was a rebuilding draft not a "championship bound" draft
I'm disappointed in that.
What if...again just what if....Ravens plan on focusing back to Webb's contract post June 1st. If they can't get a restructure, cut him, get 8 mil. That could mean drafting a high CB to replace him.
Post June 1 cut leaves $4 mil in dead money. Question is - what is 8 mil saved in space good for at that stage?
the 8 mil you save can only be used after june 1 which would do us no good at this moment.
The other thing is Webb could ply FS and I am more than comfortable with that also I think as a post June 1 cut he is like 6mil in dead money next year
don't get me wrong love how we go defensive in the draft cuz i play on defense and very prideful about it, but when it comes to the team, we really gotta focus on giving Joe weapons. CB and Pass rusher is not a need. Thats not me saying we'll draft a day 2 prospect in the first round, but that trading back could make more sense for our needs.
Suggs and Doom are not spring chickens any more and are in their 30's but I don't doubt that they will be able to be solid pass rushers again. Upshaw also will be a free agent next year in 2016 and it's not even clear if The Ravens will be able to re-sign him so yeah that's makes it even more important to get a replacement now than later. Smith and Webb can be one of the best cornerback duo in the league but both are injury prone especially Webb. Asa Jackson seems to be hi...
Suggs & Doom might not be spring chickens but Smith Sr is even less of one and outside of him we have a receiving corps that has proven little. So I'd say weighing it out, WR/TE are much much bigger needs.
True. I think it depends on who's available honestly. The Ravens should stick to their board and not get desperate cause they need help at receiver position. I'm pretty sure they will address the receiver position in the first three rounds but I definitely will not be surprised if their first pick in the draft is a defensive player especially since I think most of the top receivers will be gone by the time they pick.
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.
Ravens will go Defense first round.
I could argue we aren't the champs this year because we lack a big, physical WR.
^^ definitely, but most importantly, because we dont have those guys who are always gonna catch the ball, if daniels doesnt drop that perfectly placed ball, were probably celebrating at least an afc championship title
@JoeyFlex5 i think he'll get best player available and i think the most underrated player in this draft is Nate Orchard. After his combine he should be a late first rounder. And Ravens love pass rushers especially ones that have led the nation in sacks **T Sizzle** I really think we already have a good WR group. Torrey is our deep threat, Steve Smith is strong and physical, Marlon Brown can go up and snag balls, Owen Daniels and Dennis Pitta have great chemistry with Joe. I like our WR's
I see Ravens grabbing veteran Safety starting March 10. Rookie can't transition that quickly to the pros.
Wow, really @juanman7 ... thats a shocker, didn't think that was possible.
@juanman7 no way they will get McCourty, way too much money. You gotta remember that the Ravens are a defensive team, and will be for years to come, they will not draft 4 offensive players in the first four, thats just not going to happen, they will definitely draft a CB in the first 3 to replace Webb because his body is just breaking down slowly. He can't stay healthy.
@pechillo, having thought about it, I agree they won't spend big money to sign McCourty because there's always the risk that he won't play up to that contract that another team will definitely give him. However, I do think we could go heavy on offense this year, because like I said and people agree with this, this team cannot rely on rookies in the secondary. This is a weak safety class on top of this. So though they might get a cornerback in the first 3 rounds, I think every othe...
Trade back to get Perriman? Thoughts?
@BmoreBird22 I agree he's pretty inconsistent with his hands but so was Torrey and he developed. When it comes to types of WR's we already have an Algholor and Smith in Torrey. If we don't sign him back then I can see us getting one of them two, but if we sign back Torrey we would probably look for a big bodied tough to take down bulldozer as a receiver and I think Perriman fits that mold.
I don't think Torrey Smith is back to be honest, but I personally don't like Perriman too much just because of the hands. It's something very worrisome coming out of college because it's a lot tougher to make contested catches in the NFL. He's a really physical specimen and could turn out to be a really great receiver, but those hands scare me.
I wouldn't mind if we picked him there. Though I don't think F.O would trade back for Perriman, I think F.O would trade back for someone who's falling like Shane Ray or maybe Nate Orchard.
Which positions will be first three picks?
As we know whatever the members wish for Oz picks his agenda. So for fantasy..A RB,WR then S
Ozzie has picked a MLB, S, and DT in the first three rounds the last two rounds
TE,WR,CR, then a RB
SUGGS IS A TRUE RAVEN! A TEAM PLAYER! THANKS T-SIZZLE!
sadly i dont see ngata taking notes, i think his money-vision will prevail
TEAM T-SIZZLE
Peyton is almost 40 years old Sami of course he took a pay cut
That being said, with a top 10 pick. No need to go based off of necessity doing what Ozzie loves best is BPA, at this point an OL could be BPA or an OLB/DE. But DB has a deep class with sleepers.
i disagree. With Breshad coming back we'll get to see his playmaking ability, I still think Steve Smith is coming back and he has a motor. Not to mention there are good #2 or #3 wideouts hitting free agency, Mohammed Sanu, Hayward-Bey, Malcolm Floyd, to name a few. Drafting a WR wouldn't be a concern until the 4th round honestly.
Honestly, wake up. Waiting until the 4th rd for weapons is one of the big factors in why we only have 5 wins this season. Perriman is yet an unknown, SSS is most likely not coming back and the last thing we need is yet another vet in the twilight of his career. It is beyond time to give the offense some love - this isn't your father's NFL.
"I also think at WR we're solid." Please don't let our front office fall into that trap again.Smitty at 36 coming off an achilles injury,Aiken and everyone behind those two don't make us solid at WR.
Josh Shaw looked absolutely incredible at the combine. He's flying under the radar but he has 1st round talent.
He looks like a FS in the NFL or a strict press man corner
Ya know @Dubs I didn't watch the Senior Bowl and I did hear that he struggled, but in the Ravens' Article earlier. It said that Josh Shaw actually impressed the Horitz.
He's probably better suited to play safety than CB. Mid-round pick.
wow...disappointed in Torrey. Thought he would appreciate home more than anyone else in the NFL. T-sizzle, Ray, Ed, all appreciated home more than money. Good luck to Torrey.
yeah i can't really blame him but i really had thought he was different compared to those other players that only care about $$ in the NFL
If he's going to SF, why would he leave upwards of 5 million dollars o the table just to stay at home.
Did Ray try to use the Cowboys as leverage to get more money. Money always talks. Glad Torrey made the best decision for him.
if we get Webb to restructure, hopefully we can take a shot at getting Nick Fairley
if we get fairley it would be a dream come true. out front 7 would once again be elite. suggs, fairley, williams, jernigan, and doom. good luck
Fairley can play DT. he's similar to Haloti at which he can play DT and DE if he stays in shape. He was in Suh's shadow his whole career, i think he wants to be in a spotlight. He's the type of player where, if he's in the spotlight, he won't disappoint. Canty and Ngata are both our DE's and they're both gone. Fairley would definitely make sense. It is somewhat of a need.
Also, he's visiting the Bengals, and that would be dangerous running up the middle with their d-line if Fairley signs with them
oh geez, does that mean Ravens will look to draft Myles Jack? or look at free agency for ILB?
Laurinaitis isn't good
@Deflated Football well he just reminds me of shaw thompson from last year, and I wasn't a fan of his, no matter how athletic he is. Couldn't even see much of Myles this past year, it's a risky pick really.
just because we cut Daryl Smith doesn't mean we are going to draft Jack. No GM in the right mind would cut a player when because they THINK they will be drafting jack or any player. Ozzie will draft BPA and Jack is one of if not the BEST player in this DRAFT. He is a true Swiss Army Knife and much much much more gifted than Shaq Thompson. The guy can cover CB, WR, RB and TE. He can play anywhere on the defense outside of LOS. He's multi talented.
That being said I'm good with drafting Jack, Bosa, Buckner, Ramsey, Tunsil, Stanley, or Hargeaves and in no particular order.
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
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.
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!
Ravens met with Lae'l Collins today...? anyone else really surprised there?
long term left tackle?
@CalvinSmoke i think we already have our long term tackles. Monroe is a top tackle in the league and Wagner was rated the best RT in the league last year. Don't see why we would think about interviewing a high caliber OT if anything it might be to talk about his teammate Jalen Collins
We've been known to talk to guys to try and misdirect other teams about who we're interested in. I wouldn't read too much into it one way or the other.
trade back few spots and still draft VH3? possible
no bosa, i like treadwell or jack
and buckner
I think it would be risky. SF, PHI, TB, NYG could all reasonably take Hargreaves.
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.
BTW anyone in North Carolina come watch Elon football. We're making a rise you won't wanna miss it
