He's so going down. Wherever he is

I know what you're thinking. "Lost, it's incredibly stupid to do a mock draft AFTER the draft actually happened. And it's clearly not a 2018 mock draft." I'm telling you what happened and I have to reveal my identity to everyone right now. WELL SCREW YOU. I do what I want!. But something peculiar happened to me recently that has allowed me to change past events... And use the power of hindsight to change our draft. "My name is Bill Murray, and I'm the Fastest man alive. On April 30th the NFL draft concluded and I went on a rage induced peppermint schnapps quest where I got alcohol poisoning and supposedly died. However, my corpse was struck by lightning and made me the impossible. Using these powers I will go back in time knowing what we know now, and mock us WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE." *****this is entirely meant as a joke, for the most part I like the players we drafted. But the forums are closing. Seriously, screw you admin.... While I'm at it... ********** Admin, what the hell are you thinking? You're going to eliminate the best form of communication out there among the fans. I've lived out of Baltimore for the past 8 years, and frankly it's gotten lonely football wise. Niners fans are idiots and Broncos fans are too high to even carry a discussion.. The other messages boards are horrible, and this is the only one where I've learned anything. @-Truth- has significantly helped me in my growth as a scout, @BmoreBird22(even though I've had problems with you in the past) is very knowledgeable about coverages and has helped me learn a ton. Likewise, @The Raven has helped me out with oline stuff(even if he probably thinks I'm terrible, most should. I suck). And so on and so forth. Screw you admin for making honestly the dumbest decision possible! This forum was a brilliant way to bring several ravens fans from all over the globe together and allowing us to have productive discussion. I don't need to go on FB where idiot ravens fans will argue that us not drafting Joe Mixon at 16 was a mistake. Just no. For so many reasons. You're contributing to the dumbing down of societal norms, and putting the damn mods out of a job. I hope that you come to your damn senses and make the right decision into not closing the boards. I have spent way too much time on here in the past, but this forum has been a GREAT environment to discuss football in. Yet, you keep the utterly toxic comments section from the articles. Just smh on so many levels. (this is a sneak preview as to what's to come). Anyway. LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED. I, as the new GM of the Ravens am going to make some changes. Round One: Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama I'm a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder. But I can't resist an elite talent when I see one. If Allen's shoulder concerns are not as bad as most think they are, than this pick is going to be a freaking steal. I really like Marlon Humphrey the player, but I think a healthy Allen is a potential future all pro. We need to get nasty again on the defensive line and get an interior rush, and Allen is easily the best player avaliable. Round Two: Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston "But Lost, this is the same as before". Well screw you. I liked this pick a lot. Ultimately, a few of these picks are going to stay the same(for fear of getting murdered by @rmw10)... Bowser is obviously one of them. Bowser is a damn good coverage LB with a lot of upside going forward. He's a chess piece with a hell of a motor and frankly. I think he was the right call here. We could play him anywhere along the LB position, and frankly... The less we use Correa the better. Round Three: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA. Moreau is a good consolation for not getting Humphrey. Ultimately, Humphrey is a better player, but I would love the value here. Moreau has the potential to be a very good corner at the NFL level and his problems are very coachable. Ultimately, I think this still fulfills a need. Round Three part deux: Time Williams, OLB, Alabama. Do I really need to explain this pick here? Steal of the draft. Top 20 talent that we got in the middle of the third round. Potential future all pro at rusher. Round Four: Nico Siragusa, OG, SDSU Final pick to stay the same. Think this was excellent value as I had him going a whole round earlier personally. Great pick. Helps beef up the offensive line TRADE. The Ravens trade a 2018 6th round pick and Carl Davis and their fifth rounder to move up to the first pick of the fifth Round. Round Five: Jake Butt, GOAT, Michigan I mean.. At least he ended up in Colroado in real life. Seriously. He shouldn't have fallen this far from a talent perspective. He comes in immediately and potentially starts at the TE spot when he becomes fully healthy. What a steal. Round Six: Ejuan Price, OLB, Pitt We shall walk off the podium while giving the Pittsburg steelers fans the finger because we selected a good pass rusher from their home town. To quote Ozzie, "you can never have too many pass rushers" And that's my hindsight mock, and let me say. Thank you forums for putting up with my many mocks over the years. I thought it would be fun to do this one.... now. Prepare for ROAST FEST 2017. Starring @LosT_in_TranSlatioN, @OriolesMagicPlease, and the archenemy of Bill Murray, Eobard Thawne... Aka @52520Andrew...(Love you Andrew. PM me before the forums close) I hope you enjoyed it... Or you didn't. Either way.. Screw you.

Just straight up.. Screw the Warriors. Screw James Harden. I hope Westbrook wins the MVP over you. I hope that the idiot analyitics guys get their head out of their butts and finally admit that Kobe >>> Harden.. That said. Kobe won 5 championships. He lost 2. 5-2=3. The amount of MVPs Kobe won was 1. The amount that he should have is at least 3. Put 3 and 1 next to each other, and you should get 3-1. The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. Never forget.

YUP :D. No Jermaine though :(.

I'll send you and anyone else who requests it a rough draft.

Roast fest 2017 starts soon. A sneak peak of my list @rmw10 @-Truth- @RavensFanMania @Moderator 2 @52520Andrew @arnie_uk @The Raven And most importantly, the semi-decent @OriolesMagicPlease Y'all foolz goin down son! Okay that's not my list. BUT IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS @SepticeyePoe... You're going first.

I'm more likely to win the lottery whilst getting struck by lighting during a clear day while being out on a date with Kate Upton. The dolphins aren't dumb enough to trade him sadly

You did? Great. Can you translate to English for the rest of us?

^^^^ this is why I'm gonna miss this place. As a guy who never played, I've learned so much here from guys like @The Raven and @-Truth-, and @RavensFanMania. I would've never been able to form a solid opinion on prospects like Siragusa without people like this. Granted I'm at a disadvantage as I've never played the game competitively. But still. Damn this place for closing.

You see. You say this now but when we do it, we are still going to let you down

This is getting weird

Overall, I've been critical of Ozzie lately because...Well the Jernigan trade sucked and frankly I'm pissed that he's ignored the oline(which is the biggest concern with the team by far). But let's be positive. Because frankly, although I've disagreed with a few of the value, I like the players we've drafted so far. So Ozzie Newsome's mindset has to be that the pass rush and secondary were faulty. When Jimmy was healthy, the secondary was good, but when he went down... So did the secondary. I know certain members here will blame Pees... But he isn't the issue. If you watched the last drive vs. Pittsburgh we were blitzing a lot. We just couldn't get any pressure. This draft was meant to fix that, because frankly.. This defense is probably the deepest and most talented defense we've had since 2011..Possibly 2006. I'll update as we go along because frankly... Ozzie is probably going to take another corner at some point. So let's start off here. This is my projected starting lineup. DE: Bronson Kaufausi, Willie Henry, Carl Davis NT: Brandon Williams, Micheal Pierce DE: Chris Wormley, Brent Urban Possible cuts: Carl Davis. Sorry, I think he's the odd man out. Overview: I think Brent Urban at worst is a solid role player and has a spot as a rotational defenseive linemen who will be similar to Lawerence Guy of last year. We know what we have in Williams, he's a damn good player who is a big part of the run defense. I don't think we should have given him the money we did, but ultimately, he helps us establish an identity. Likewise, I think Pierce's ability to play on every down from the NT spot allows us a good rotation. He provides rush from the middle, and we'll get to that later. Then..Well we have a lot of young talent here that could develop into above average players. Namely in Kaufausi and Henry. Both are very athletic and have pass rush potential as well as being good run defenders. I think Kaufausi is a bonafida stud/attack dog who can seriously help out with the interior pressure. If he reaches his potential then we have an absolute athletic specimen playing the 5T. Which is deadly considering our other pass rushing talent. Likewise, I think Chris Wormley is a jack of all trades master of none type who is a spot starter, and is also a Lawerence Guy type. Which is a good thing even if I think he's an overdraft. Henry has loads of talent similar to Jernigan, and if we can get a solid player out him.. This is a damn good rotation on the defensive line. OLB: Terell Suggs, Matt Judon ILB: CJ Mosely, Albert Mclellen ILB: Tyus Bowser(will be moved around a lot), Correa OLB: Tim Williams, Za'Darius Smith Possible Cuts: Za'Darius Smith. He's raw as all hell. Great effort guy, but all in all,. He really has no place here. Overview: We have a top 10 ILB in CJ Mosely, who could honestly be a top 5 one. He's damn impressive, and is quietly the best player in the front seven. We also know what we have in Suggs. Savvy veteran type who came on towards the end of the previous season, is still a very good run defender and a mentor player for the young guns. Correa will likely be a good rotational ILB, I don't like him as an edge rusher, but as an ILB I think he could be a very solid piece. Now for the young edge guys. Let's start off with Judon since he's flashed. He's a power rusher who's a damn good athlete and showed a lot of promise. I think he has a future as a starter for the team, who can net a lot of pressures and 6-8 sacks a season. All in all, he's a good young to have going forward. Bowser, has excellent coverage abilities off the bat, and is an athletic freak. He plays with a hell of a motor and shows a lot of upside. I see him becoming what Correa SHOULD HAVE. A guy who can play the SAM, and occasionally switch to the edge. And finally.. Tim Williams. If he can stay out of trouble, and if he improves his run defense, we have a superstar difference maker on our hands that so many have been claimoring for. He's a pass rushing technician who has excellent bend, burst, and a plethora of pass rushing moves. If he plays in Dumervil's old spot, I think that RIGHT NOW most RT's cannot contain him as a pass rusher. All in all this LB corps has the potential to be elite.... By year's freaking end. I think Bowser is going to be a contributor faster than most give him credit for, and will have a big impact. I think there's a decent chance Tim Williams notches 6-10 sacks this season and a boatload of pressures. We know what we have in Mosely, and I think Suggs has one more good season in him. The pass has improved with the Bowser and Williams picks. CB: Jimmy Smith, Marlon Humphrey CB: Brandon Carr, Tavon Young Sheldon Price Slot CB: Tavon Young, Ladarius Webb Overview: Jimmy Smith is a #1 CB when healthy. Almost nobody disputes this. Likewise, Tavon proved himself to be a very good outside corner. I'm kind of upset that we are moving him to the slot full time, but I understand it. But, whenever Jimmy goes down.. So does the secondary. To solve this issue we signed Brandon Carr, a durable veteran who had a very good season last year, but is overall inconsistent. I hope he excells here, especially since that we might have a very good pass rush next season to help him out. But we did draft and insurance policy. Marlon Humphrey: as stated previously. I hated the pick because we passed on Jonathan Allen. That said, I like Humphrey a lot as a player. He's got skills on breaking on the ball, and is excellent when the ball is in front of him. He's also a good run support player who blows up screens(which we've struggled with) and hits like a truck. I think he needs less developmental time than most do. I think he takes over Carr's spot towards mid season and DOES WELL. I also put Webby here because if Jimmy goes down I could see us bump Tavon to the outside if we feel Humphrey isn't ready yet. All in all, the CB group has improved significantly. Although I would like to draft one more. FS: Eric Weddle, Ladarius Webb SS: Tony Jefferson, Anthony Levine It's rare to have two safeties who are held in high regard Weddle has the potential to be a borderline hall of famer, and Jefferson is likely to make a few pro bowls while he's here because he's likely to get more recognition. It's even rarer to have three safeties who are held in high regard. Webb's high football IQ makes him a very good option at FS, and we could honestly do so many different schemes because of this because of Jefferson's ability to go play ILB on nickel packages. Best safety duo in the league? Possibly. Best Safety trio? Absolutely. Overall. This defense is insanely talented and we are not done yet. Even with Pees, whom I think is average, this defense could be good enough to win a SB. Now go draft some offense Ozzie

It is. I originally signed up to post there. But wow. I couldn't. This part of the forum is so much better. I can't believe admin is picking the bad section over the more productive forum section. in other words "Admin betray me. I fed up with this world"

At least I can read his posts without gouging my eyes out.

............. Your posts smh

I blame the nine Imma roast on the last day.

Me(about Winchester). Yes it's true.. This man has no... I'll leave it up to chance.

Let's be fair. Kim Kardashian did that already.

Ah. I knew you would bring this up..... Tavon is the exception to this rule.. Not the norm. Tavon had arguably the best rookie season for ALL CBs last year. Inclusive of Ramsey who really came on towards the end. Oh. Other CBs drafted in the fourth round last year. NYJ- Justin Burris(Who?) KC-Eric Murray TB-Ryan Smith SF-Rashard Robinson(who was solid. But Tavon is better) Wait, so you mean to tell me that only one of the four was an above average player? Sorry. I love me some Siragusa. But we have two proven commodities on the oline. That scares the hell out of me not just for Flacco, but for the running game. "But it's a passing league. Flacco should be able to get it done without a running game". Sorry. That line scares the hell out of me moreso than the weapons possibly could. Not only might Flacco get pressured to all hell, but we might not be able to get yards to begin with. And no. Under normal circumstances I would not want us to start a fourth round CB. Hell, I was a fan of the Tavon pick and yet I remained skeptical, and he proved me wrong.

Hahaha. What a story Mark!

Because he doesn't have quick twitch muscle?

Lmao.

"Bill Murray Sucks"
