There are more pressing needs than a guard who may or may not even present good value at 16 (I err on the side of poor value).

I have a feeling a backup won't be necessary.
Just now, Inqui said:Bowling Green cornerback Clint Stephens it is.
I was actually thinking more along the lines of a punter.
If I'm not active for what ever reason when my pick comes up, you all know who I want.

Yeah, took forever, but we hammered out the kinks.
30 minutes ago, JoeyFlex5 said:Yeah I don't see him falling to the second. He seemed to be the consensus 2nd or 3rd corner with lattimore tops and him constantly swapping spots with Humphrey in the teens, I prefer jones but I digress. I think right now the 3 from Bama are really high on our board, Humphrey cam and Williams, I think we would prefer Humphrey over the rest but wouldn't be surprised with Robinson. I doubt we go williams but I do think he's got a decent spot on our board
I think Robinson is very much not a priority because he projects as a guard and the Ravens need a tackle.
Just now, JoeyFlex5 said:I didn't know you were agreeing since it wasn't in that specific post lol my bad.
I don't think he goes tumbling either but if he was once a 12-18 kinda guy he could get passed on by teams like the ravens who must be terrified of an injured corner at this point. Maybe an overreaction but you gotta think they're taking every precaution with the luck we've had with injuries
I don't know if he was ever viewed that high by the media. Always seen him in that 20-25 range, but that's just the media.
If he's viewed in that range by teams, that's a lot of playoff teams who can maybe afford to wait. I bet he goes in the first.
Jaguars give...
Aaron Colvin (-0.5 for Jags, +0.5 for Titans)
Round 5 (37)
Round 6 (26)
Round 7 (24)
Titans give...
DE Derrick Morgan (+6.0 for Jaguars, -5.0 for Titans)
Just now, JoeyFlex5 said:If you look at first post I said I think we're targeting Humphrey as our top corner. I think it may have been Sidney jones until the injury.
Okay, well, there is a such thing as quoting for agreement...
But in any case, I don't think this drops Jones all that far. If he's going to be ready early in the season, this isn't a back breaking injury. It'll just be a question of how soon can he be ready?
Just now, PurpleHorseman said:DAMMIT!! Come on now!! Can pay Woodhead $4mil but not a talented WR?! What the heck?
Just now, Jonah DeVito said:Man. I wonder why we didn't go in cheap on him.
You have to consider a very WR needed team just allowed Wright to just walk. He was extremely fazed out and had one season of good production.
Apparently he was a freelancer and didn't like to stay within the structure of the offense.
2 hours ago, JoeyFlex5 said:man this hurts. i think pass rusher might be top of our list now. im getting the feeling that we could be the team to take a shot on tim williams early if the board isnt falling in our favor.
2 hours ago, allblackraven said:I'm pretty sure Cam Robinson is near the top of the Ravens board. TJ Watt should have stayed in college, would have been 1st round lock in '18.
Going to be honest, Marlon Humphrey is the one name I think the Ravens will target. Matt Miller very frequently singles him out as a name that is being talked about by the Ravens dating back to the Senior Bowl.
Kendall Wright to the Bears for 1yr/$4M.
The real question to ask is where does this put him for the regular season? He's about six months out from the regular season.
If he's able to start the season, it won't affect his draft stock at all. If he'll be held out for any part of the season, he'll drop.
6 minutes ago, LosT_in_TranSlatioN said:Hi, I've watched his tape. He's a beast with very high upside. Inconsistent on his college tape? Sure. But when he was on, he was unblockable. People shouldn't take nfl network scouting reports as gospel. You should watch him for yourself, and then form your own opinions. Truthfully, I HATED it at first because I usually look at the scouting reports first, but still go back to the tape.
I like Bronson a lot. He or Henry are both gonna be good pieces moving forward imo. Now, would it surprise me if we still drafted a dlinemen? Nope, Ozzie tends to draft one every year. It's actually a good strategy.
It's correa I'm worried about.
I think someone on the Seahawks forum (one of their beat writers) had mentioned the Seahawks liked him as a first round talent if not for his age.
Know the worst part about this injury? It was the LAST drill of the day.
I keep seeing this corner draft as being referred to as deep and I'd disagree. I'd describe it as incredibly top heavy where teams are going to hit it early and often very hard. I think it'll be similar to the receivers in 2014. Once you hit the early third, it's going to start drying up.
I think it'd be a massive mistake for the Ravens to pass on a veteran corner because they may be able to grab one in the draft.

I suppose that means the end of Watson.
Just now, GrimCoconut said:I agree that it's pretty reasonable for Pryor but I imagine we wanted to pay closer to 6 and WAS offered more.
I'm in agreement with @rmw10 on this one that Pryor probably saw a lot of mediocre talents going for what he just got and figured if he can show last year was no fluke, he could get $10M+ next year after a one year deal.
Just now, TurkishRaven said:8m for Pryor. Not bad at all.
That's actually the number I figured the Ravens were waiting for... Damn, that hurts a little, but I suppose if the Ravens nab one of Davis or Williams in the draft, I won't be upset.

Really disappointed to hear this, but I guess teams are very much in a wait and see mode to see if he can repeat his numbers with any form of consistency. Risky business to pay a player who switched in the NFL, I guess.
1 minute ago, Ravens4Real said:Jefferson has only started for 2 years. So in those two years they have been average one year and top of the league in the other. That's a pretty good pass rush if you ask me.
And I wasn't commenting on Jeffersons lack of coverage skills to begin with. I was simply replying to the poster that said they have a horrible/pathetic pass rush. The stats prove other wise. If theirs is pathetic, I don't even want to hear the words used to describe ours last year.
He actually started more games in '14 than '15 and has been a regular contributor for three years now.
I'd hardly say the Cardinals have had a consistently good pass rush for Jefferson's career in the desert. And I'd also say he's not totally surrounded by help in the secondary.
I really don't understand knocking this move.
2 minutes ago, Ravens4Real said:And what does that mean? Jefferson was on Arizonas team last year right? Neither party stated a year they were discussing. A poster stated that Arizona is pathetic at rushing the passer. That is clearly false.
They weren't last year, but they have been horrible more often than not during Jefferson's career and the only real corner help he's had consistently is Peterson and Peterson had a very huge down year not too long ago (2015?), so we talk about him getting all this help, but it was really only last year.
15 minutes ago, Ravens4Real said:If you are going to throw out outlandish claims, please do your research first.
So you stated that Arizona was one of the worst teams in the league at getting to the QB. I instantly knew that was false because they had Golden and Chandler with double digit sacks.
So I looked it up. They led the league in sacks. I'm not sure how you could be more wrong with your statement.
That was just last year...

Tackle market has essentially dried up with Fluker signing a one year deal with NY. Have to wonder what the plan is there for the Ravens.
