Hey, we're all allowed one homer pick, right?

I think the second is where Tabor ultimately goes, but he has such amount of high potential

Garrett, Foster, Adams

This was actually my major area of concern for KO following the playoff run. I didn't think he moved well enough to the second level or identified second level blocks well enough. Of course, I'm not expert on the line and that clearly turned out wrong.

Top 3 talent has everything to do with it if a team values talent over need, which is a really good way to do it in the top half of the league. I could very well see the 49ers take him. I could see the Titans take him, Jets, and Bengals as top 10 teams that could use a talent like him. Plus, again, the combine incident is way overblown and has no effect on his draft stock.

JPP signs after tweeting out about how he hadn't signed yet and the NY media was fake and not correct.

The combine incident won't drop a top 3 talent that far because from everything players and scouts have said about the incident, it's truly no big deal.

That was my thought process. Probably around the same contract that Carr got with a series of options after every year.

Interestingly enough, the Jets got Claiborne on a 1yr/$5M deal. Have to wonder what the Ravens really offered for him.

You would be mistaken. Scandrick plays the slot and Carr always started.

So, apparently the Seahawks would be willing to trade Sherman for a very sizable haul.

So, question. If the Patriots allow Butler to sign with NO, does NO give up pick 12 or pick 32?

I think Adams goes in the first to Atlanta IRL

Yes, that's why I said every year...

4yr/$24M with options every year. Very easy to get out of after two years.

Morris Claiborne was one of my top prospects in 2012 and I still think he can be a top corner in this league, but health is such an issue for him. If the Ravens didn't have Jimmy Smith consistently getting dinged up, I think they'd have gone for Claiborne, but could you really risk two starters going down for four plus games a season? I really like the veteran addition of Carr. A solid, if unspectacular player.

I'd have to agree. I don't want a center in the first. I'd grab Elfein in the third, but he's not the nasty, physical player the Ravens want. Just not the Ravens year in the draft.

Last two years, really. I don't think people watch the Jets, so they go off of the name more than the player's play.

I just can't think that the Ravens don't have something up their sleeves with the Zuttah trade. They just restructured Pitta (I understand it was a needed move, anyway, but still) and they trade Zuttah six days into FA without making a corresponding OL move. That's really weird to trade someone that far into FA when most big names are off the market and you have no contingency plan. They clearly liked Zuttah enough to hang onto him and not let him go early to get a good jump in FA, but why wait so long? Unless trade negotiations really took that long, but given the price, I doubt it.

The Colts did that last year, I believe. Alex Mack went at pick 21. I'm sure the Colts and Browns aren't sweating that decision or upset with it at all. There's also Mike and Maurkice Pouncey (15 and 18) recently. All have paid off in major dividends for their drafted teams.

So, from what I'm seeing on twitter, it looks like the Ravens are offering about $5M per year for Claiborne and he wants more like $7.5M per year. He may be a one year prove it guy.

He'd thrive so well there. He's prototypical for that defense.

I love Tre White as a player, but I don't think he fits what Seattle wants to do.

As far as Claiborne is concerned, a few sources reported the initial interest and JLC basically confirmed it and reported other teams expect Claiborne to be a Raven. He is NOT the only source on this.
