I must say, that forum is aesthetically pleasing lol.

Watch Lee play: he's a body-catcher. He's not what this team needs.

You don't lose players for nothing in the NFL; you get compensatory picks. I would not want to trade a 5th rounder for 1 year of Jordan Matthews. You can get similar production from a street FA like Boldin for ~1 million more in salary without losing a draft pick (assuming you sign them after May 9).

Moore had bad hands in college, and he was outright terrible at the senior bowl. I remember watching Wentz throw two perfect passes right to him, and he dropped them both. I thought to myself "well, there's no way this kid is getting drafted," and then sure enough... lol. That said, maybe he can improve his hands. I doubt it, since that's not something that usually gets better, but I've seen it happen before (Brandon Marshall comes to mind). I hope he proves me wrong. And I don't see the Ravens offering enough to get Matthews, but I suppose anything is possible. I honestly don't want him unless it's for a late round pick; he's pretty average.

Also, if y'all just want a forum full of intelligent people to discuss draft prospects, I recommend Walterfootball's forum. A lot of the people there seem pretty knowledgeable. I've honestly learned quite a bit about x's and o's just by observing the conversations that go on there sometimes. Plus there's a few Ravens fans there. And there's a couple Steelers and Browns fans there who are not obnoxious homers, surprisingly enough, which helps keep me abreast of how our division foes are doing roster-wise. And I'm not talking about the conversations that occur beneath Walt's terrible articles, I'm talking about the actual forum

I guess I'll be moving to reddit's r/ravens subforum. There's a learning curve involved, but it seems like a decent forum content-wise. Plus I know reddit has other forums worth reading. Maybe I'll see y'all there.

Wow, am I the only one here whose username is their irl name?

Lee provides nothing that Chris Moore doesn't already provide: quickness and terrible hands. And I think the only WR the Eagles would be willing to trade is Agholor. They probably see themselves as competing for the postseason this year, so I don't see why they'd part with their 2nd best receiver in Jordan Matthews, especially when he's on a cheap rookie deal.

Honestly, I'm pretty interested and excited to see how our young WRs will play. Will they stay healthy? Will they rise to the occasion? Or will they be injured? Will they outright suck? We'll get much-needed closure on Perriman, Moore, and Campanaro while having the excitement of watching a potential train-wreck! Haha!

@frozen joe flacco fan I think if we're just grading the draft, it deserves a B. If we're grading the whole offseason, then a different grade might apply. You can't realistically fill all your holes in one draft. They made each pick count until the Clark pick, and that was in the 6th round. We needed multiple pass-rushers, multiple O-Linemen, and CB depth (or possibly a better starter than Carr, who is old and declining). Replace any of the picks that were made with someone else and you have a hole or decreased depth somewhere else. Also, Siragusa was introduced during the post-draft presser as a center/guard, for whatever that's worth. Perhaps he can become that Center you're looking for. In the meantime, he can play LG, which is just as big of a hole. Anyway, FA isn't over yet. They'll probably add a veteran WR and OL in free-agency before TC starts, maybe even Boldin or Mangold. They also could trade for someone or pick up a cap casualty before the season begins.

They introduced him as a potential Guard and Center in the post-draft presser... Interesting. For what it's worth, he had a high Wonderlic. Intelligence is an important trait to have in a Center: identifying what the defense is doing and keeping his fellow O-linemen on the same page is what Birk excelled at.

Overall, I'm giving the Ravens a B. They attacked two of their biggest weaknesses, EDGE and OL, by doubling-up at those positions, but they completely ignored the skill positions on offense, WR and TE, which were considerable needs. All of the picks had value somewhere in the "B" range, I thought; no big steals or reaches. The offense is going to be frustrating to watch for 2017, but the defense should at least make games winnable. Here's hoping Ozzie homers Calvin Ridley in the 2018 draft.

Maybe... or maybe Ozzie is targeting Calvin Ridley for 2018 lol

If Flacco's mechanics are still terrible in 2017, then he will deserve criticism for not improving himself. Yes, OL was part of the problem, but Flacco threw off his back foot on plenty of occasions when he didn't have to. Craig Ver Steeg is his new QB coach. Hopefully he does a better job than Marty did last season as QB coach. Flacco's mechanics were the worst I had ever seen them in 2016.

Title says it all. Give me your opinions on strengths, weaknesses, scheme fit, and career outlook for the Ravens' 2017 class of drafted and undrafted players. I linked their respective Draft Breakdown pages for easy watching.
