More of a comment on his technique being good despite not having elite athleticism.

I'd compare him to Hau'oli Kikaha, but a better run defender. He does scream Raven to me. Tough, hard work ethic, excellant technique.

Jaguars aren't going to pass on Jack for Hargreves. They need front 7 and pass rushing help more than anything else.

If I were them, I'd trade back. Even if you don't get Stanley somehow, Conklin has been looking like a top 15 pick recently.

Charles Tapper really impressed me. 4.59 speed at 6'2", 270 lbs is almost Clowney fast. He needs work on his technique and hands, but boy that's impressive. He could be a solid round 2/3 option. Same for Joe Schobert. Wasn't sure if he was an NFL caliber athlete and he proved he is more than good enough. I'd take him 3rd round.

Jags really heavily depends on FA. If they get Malik Jackson or Von Miller, I could see them targeting Ramsey or Jack.

Browns take one for sure and very likely someone trades up to get ahead of SF. Even if just one goes before us, that gives us solid trade bait for Philly/LA.

I think Trading back is very likely, probably with the Eagles: Titans take Tunsil, Browns take Goff/Wentz, Chargers take Ramsey, Cowboys take Bosa, Jags take Jack. The Ravens are left in a interesting positions. Bosa, Jack, and Ramsey are likely our top choices. Stanley and Buckner likely make up the next level, but the talent drop off is present. Mean while, the 49ers have the next pick. They likely will want to get a Qb for Chip. Philly also likely will want a QB. We could easily broker a heavily favorably trade with Philly in this scenario. I'm thinking a tad bit better than the Buffalo-Browns deal for Sammy Watkins. Lets say our first rounder for their first rounder, next year's first round, and a third rounder this year. This would leave us at 13th overall. My top targets there would be Mackensie Alexander, Vernon Hargreaves, Noah Spence, A'Shawn Robinson, Laquan Treadwell, and Reggie Ragland.

If Paxton Lynch somehow falls to the third, I'd be more than fine with taking him as a backup and letting him develop behind Joe for three years.

Billings has a very good chance to beat the bench record and reportedly runs a 4.9 40. Could rise to a top fifteen pick.

I honestly think Upshaw would benefit from being in a 4-3. He could throw around his weight more.

Dodd is a good fit for a 3-4. He is pretty quick off the ball and uses his body very well. Like him a lot better than Shaq Lawson.

With the DT talent on the team and in the class, I'm not a big fan of Nkemdiche. I'd take Buckner, Robinson, Billings, and potentially Rankins over Nkdemdiche. As with Clowney, I frequently see athlete ability that should warrant game changer status, but Nkdemdiche is frustrating quiet most the time. Plus you have to worry about the character concerns and his brother. Realistically, Tunsil and two quarterbacks will go before us for sure. Ramsey, Bosa, Jack, Buckner, or Stanley would likely tothe choice. I have ranked: 1. Ramsey 2. Jack 3. Bosa 4. Stanley 5. Buckner 6. Spence (I think he goes top 10-12 after the combine)

I'd definitely go Buckner. He is a Wilkerson/Richardson level talent at 3-4 DE.

I think Spence has more natural athletic ability and a quicker get off than Calhoun.

I agree. No way he makes it out of the top 20. I don't expect him to be there, but I'd take him if he was.

Art Briles himself said Baylor teaches this to WRs to conserve their energy. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/11/14/randy-mosss-lazy-ways-embraced-at-baylor/

Doesn't fit our scheme. I'd take him in the second however.

No reason for him too. He would have fell quite a bit and he can easily fix his stock with a healthy year.

First Round: Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson While Ramsey's struggles at CB and Hargreaves messy end to the season have cast doubts on both prospects, Alexander had a phenomenal season. Alexander's man to man skills proved to be some of the best in the nation and it allowed Clemson to create an island to his side of the field. Offenses simply did not throw his way. He is listed at 5'10" on the Clemson roster but he is talented enough to scrap with bigger WRs. Second Round: Shalique Calhoun, OLB, MSU With Kevin Dodds rapid rise in the playoffs, he will likely push his way into the first round. Calhoun is projected to go in the late first, but it is very likely that he could experience a small drop. Calhoun was project to be a first rounder entering the 2014, but disappointing play let to him returning to school for 2015. Calhoun really worked on his pass rush moves and put together a specular senior season. He definitely has the athleticism and fluidity to play in the 3-4 employed by the Ravens, but he is relatively light for his frame and position. Third Round: Kenny Lawler, WR, Cal While Lawler's receiving yardage is low for an NFL prospect, Lawler has had a nose for the endzone during his career at Cal. He had 13 TDs this year and 9 last year. He has nice height and hands, but he could stand to add some weight on his frame. He could work as a posession receiver to compliment Perriman. Fourth Round: Keanu Neal, FS, Florida Neal probably should have stayed in school, but he proved to be an asset in Florida's talented secondary. He offers prototypical size and could be a player worth developing. he has the athleticism to be a playmaker, but needs to work on his technique. Joe Dahl, OG/OT, Washington State Dahl transferred from Montana to WSU, were him became a stud left tackle. However, due to less than preferred length and height, Dahl may have to play guard at the next level. Dahl is very quick and uses his hands well. He broke his foot early into the year, but will have the Senior Bowl to repair his stock.

White looks like a high third day pick to me. He's a fine player, but he doesn't stick out to me as a top talent.

I'd argue Gregory dropped more because of his weight and motivation concerns than his drug issues as well.

The more I watch the film, the more I like Alexander better than Hargreaves or Ramsey at CB. You could argue Ramsey is a more talented prospect at S, but CB is more valuable than S. Plus, even if you take a player projected to go 9-14 at #6, thats not really much of a reach.

Mack played 4-3 OLB last year and then put on weight. He also was an insane athlete. Miller has mostly played a hybrid role in a 4-3 as well. It's hard to make a read since they did not play in 3-4.

Clemson is pretty much returning their whole offense and adding Mike Williams back in. That's scary.
