Some mocks just shout "Look, I'm different than most mocks!" There was one about 2 weeks ago wihich had Tunsil taken at #11... Really? I seen some bad ones.

I mean it is very unlikely, but outside of Tennesee and maybe SD, I think that the rest are taking the top defensive players. It would be a gift from God. It is possible that Tennessee takes Bosa, Cleveland takes Wentz, San Diego takes Ramsey, Dallas takes Jack, and Jacksonville takes Buckner or Hargreaves. It will all depend on whether the Titans think their young lineman will develop to be good starters or not. Tunsil won't make it past the Chargers.

Thank you

Took the words outta my mouth

But KO is mostly a guard. We're looking for a LT. Much, much harder to find on day 2. KO can play LT. Why he got out priced in FA.

Agreed

I like it. But having a viable backup is also important. I already made that point when people said trade for McCarron.

Are you rich. A few million dollars isn't a little less.

I wonder if Jaylon Smith will be there in the 4th round? Considered a top five prospect before his injury. Maybe the best LB on the board. Would need to bulk up at the NFL level.

Waller can be placed on the practice squad. Another discussion.

I heard players like Darren Lee and Taylor Decker were over-rated. Darren Lee could add about ten pounds and probably not lose any speed. He outran most of the WR's at the combine. He was the defensive player of the game when the Buckeyes beat a very tough Alabama team in a bowl game. That has to mean something.

Cody is a bum. Kindle was hurt falling down steps. Urban and Lewis-Moore look like they're ready to play football. Campanaro was a 6th round pick. Jack is a prototypical football player. Just like Gurley.

I think we should hold off on Myles Jack till after his pro day next week. he's coming off a bad Knee injury. I know what you mean.I've been thinking the same thing about him.I'm not really gung ho about any specific player yet.I've changed my mind about who I think we should draft plenty of times since the end of the season and depending on what happens at that pro day I might change it again.I've been watching alot of Buckner's games lately and the idea of drafting him has been starting to grow on me.What are your thought's on him? I like Buckner. Ravens almost won a SB in 2014 when Suggs was healthy and the rush was getting there. Even with a depleted secondary. Imagine adding Buckner along with Brandon Williams, Timmy Jernigan, Carl Davis, a healthy Brent Urban and Suggs along with Dumervil. I think Upshaw signs with the Ravens.

I see this as the year that the Ravens finally get that starter in the first round that clearly is a talent that we can't afford to pass on. That said, I would prioritize the needs and BPA to fit the player that is available. It would be tough to pass on someone like Buckner or Bosa. The issue with taking Buckner or Bosa is that unless the backend is really that secured, pass rush won't get there in time, as evidenced by last season. Overall the coverage ability of the defense needs improvement. That's where a CB or solid coverage LB'er would go much further. IMHO the middle of the field is now the biggest area of concern. Those short passes are hard to get to the QB on when the coverage isn't tight enough. I'll be fine with whoever they pick, I don't think they can really get this that wrong given their history. Still bring in Jack and draft some CB talent later on. Ravens D-front is already very stout. There is also the reality that Urban and Lewis Moore get to see some substantial play this year. Nice to see Lewis-Moore step up. And Urban finally on the field and play well. Don't forget Guy. Still need a DE, especially after Canty departure. Ravens DL is solid, especially at DT, but still need a little depth. Ravens definitely need to fill the LB position.

Don't forget Boyle. Will have to make room after suspension. He's walking a thin rope.

Need ILB

I like Sua Cravens in the 2nd round but as a Safety.

Would rather move back (if possible) and take another LB, if Jack is off the board. Or a DL. CB is an option with Hargreaves. Don't see the Ravens adding another CB to the roster in the 1st round. Unless they move back. Any bidders?

Totally agree.

It's possible but unlikely. 1st round pick that never panned out? Sounds like the Colts problem.

For what? Plenty in this draft.

The great Tammy Brady and Billy boy decided to use some trickery with help from the refs against the Ravens depleted secondary in 2014.

Teryl Austin took Ihedigbo with him in 2014. Good move after losing Dennis Pitta for the season in practice. Webb started the season hurt. Jimmy Smith had a foot injury later keeping Bernard out of the end zone at the one yard line. Chykie Brown was next on the depth chart and nothing else at CB. It followed into 2015. Jimmy Smith was coming off a foot injury. Ravens took Tray Walker in the 4th round. RIP.

Pees is not the DB coach. Secondary went to crap after Reed and Pollard left. Teryl Austin went to be Detroit's DC. Jimmy Smith and Webb were hurt. Elam was playing CB. DB's were actually playing well towards the end of 2015 season.

it was smarter to not cut him since we need depth at the position and he should know the defense now that he has a year under his belt. Agreed
