Pete Carroll's tweet pretty much confirms that they're taking JuJu.

I don't understand why they'd take him over a corner, but you do you, Seahawks.

Wasn't saying anything of relevance lol. I like Humphrey(somewhat), don't hate the pick, have my doubts about not taking a talent like OJ but whatever... 

just stating that when I watch film on Humphrey I keep paying attention to mincah. You brought him up and I just threw my 2 cents lol

I wasn't necessarily making that reply to you; it was negged at first and I was explaining why it shouldn't be a big deal to say Mincah is better.

If he his, who cares? That just means Alabama now churned out two top 15 talents in the secondary in back to back years. 

I'm gonna say

1. Elfein

2. Lamp

3. Dawkins

4. Feeney

5. Kupp

6. Zay Jones

7. Lawson

8. Wilson

9. Baker

10. Williams

11. Henderson

12. Robinson

Swapped out Pocic with Lamp.

Everybody saying Humphrey was BPA. Go to draft forum and list your top 12 players so after picks tonight there will be no debate when anybody says ravens drafted one of their top players.

Sure...

Garrett, Thomas, Williams, Hooker, Lattimore, Wilson, Adams, Fournette, Reddick, Allen, Humphrey, and Howard, not necessarily in that order.

Mincah is better than Humphrey imo no doubt about it

Which I see as no issue.

It's like saying Morris Claiborne was better at LSU than Patrick Peterson.

Okay, so? Both have All-Pro potential.

I think Marlon will be a very, very good pro for the Ravens, but Mincah is special.

Some people nievely think he can fix that and turn it into a strength. Not a learned skill. Have it don't have it.

Jimmy didn't have it and learned it real fast.

Prisco said scouts saw serious deficiencies. And when he talked to his Bama mates younger cornerbacks outplayed him. And QBs actually picked on him because the younger cornerbacks were better in deep coverage. And that is fact. He gave up 19 ypc and was picked on after the younger guys held up better in coverage. GMs send out smoke screens all the time. But the Bama coaches do not have a reason to. One of those guys put Corey Davis late round1!! Since his college coaches see the action close up I'm going with what those sources said about Humphrey.

That younger corner is Mincah Fitzpatrick and he's an easy top 10 pick next year if he keeps up his play

@Sami84

@BmoreBird22

Sami said he attacked the eat greedy saying. I bet You he was under a different name cause I do remember a guy that had eat greedy as his tag line thingy

I remember many people attacking it. I think it's a stupid tagline to have and I thought Elam could be a good player.

thats BS. Error on the boards i joined in apirl 2013 and posted thorughout the year. This board doesn't allow you to go back to posts that far. You're full of ... you know that? If you cant remember me posting in 2013 then stop pretending you remember anything.

Has no issues showing my posts from 2013.

Nope, I posted 2 weeks after the draft as I was on holiday. I said Elam is a liability in coverage and i cringed when i saw ozzie say '' we had a guy called ed reed, and we are looking for the guy to replace him, we think you're that guy''.

 

I also attacked his ''eat greedy'' brand he started when he first joined and was negged to death for it AND i said he has some nerve saying he's world class in coverage before he even played a game after what i saw on tape

The awkward moment when your first ever post was Jan 9, 2014.

Hey, I'm just quoting what some of the analysts were stating last night.....  They gave valid reasons why 3 of those guys were overlooked.  Just sayin.  So if you believe it's total crap...  then see the guys on ESPN or NFLN

Foster had off the field, not Howard.

Just wanted to say I'm sorry for last night.

 

i have a headache now. Smh

Don't be sorry. Just calm down before making an emotional post... everyone can use a chill pill here and there.

First off you are judging Perriman WAY too early.  Let the guy have an actual off-season before we start judging of his weaknesses from college can be coached away.  It's kinda hard to do that though when freak injuries (which were NOT part of equation when drafting him because he wasn't an injury risk) detail first few seasons.

Second didn't someone already note in your publicly viewable post history that you didn't even mention Perriman until AFTER we drafted him.  Since you were right on Elam and wrong on Williams i will give you 50 percent accuracy which is not bad I guess.

He didn't post about Elam until into the 2014 season, I'm pretty sure.

5 minutes ago, Sami84 said:

How is it hindsight WHEN they hadnt played? Also perriman and elam for the millionth time was NOT HINDSIGHT.

i hate denial of someone being right just because the outcome wasnt great.

Elam was. You have no posts about Elam at the time of the draft.

I just want one person on this board to tell me that they truely believe Humphrey was the best pick available. I challenge ANYBODY to tell me that with a straight face. I am ready for Decosta to start pulling the strings 

I'll say that.

Is that 9 picks you got correct going to certain teams? I mean Corey Davis went at 5 instead of 18 and some trades were unpredictable but dang you're the next GM man.

Gotta give you credit my dude. Well done. Very well done.

And, at least as of now your next 3 picks are looking very possible.

Gotta be honest, I'm surprised I got that many right. That first round was absolutely nuts.

exactly - i saw that too and was concerned about it but he's a monster playing in the zone in that left corner role with his eyes on the cornerback - he's a guy that puts himself in position to make plays on the ball in the zone - if he can improve his back pedal and hip fluidity then he can access that track speed he has in man coverage as well

Hip fluidity is a non issue for me. He's plenty loose for someone his size. 

He needs to improve his footwork.

And most college press man corners play the man and not the ball, so a lack of ball tracking on deep balls is a non issue to me for now.

Ravens pick pick 16 in round2 so many of the top players left will be drafted. There was no hoping a cornerback falls. Several are going to be there in round2 and 3. Matter of fact so many cornerbacks that several of the ones drafted after Humphrey will likely outplay him. Especially with his issues finding the football. His stock has plummeted lately because of it. His size twitch burst was coveted by the scouts. But when his tape was more closely examined his major issues jumped out of the screen. And those don't go away. It can get better a touch but not by much.

Ravens got better with ints not because players learned to play with their back to the ball but we brought in tavon young and Eric Weddle. And a coverage linebacker stepped up. Ravens need an edge rusher so that Humphrey isn't roasted while trying to cover all day with his back to the ball. We need a WR and serious offensive line help.

As for Humphrey's draft stock. Prisco said he talked with his Bama sources. And his deficiencies finding throws is very legit. And the younger cornerbacks at Bama were outplaying him because of it. That is a fact. However doesn't mean he is totally useless. He can play tampa2 and SS. Could eventually become the best SS.

Yeah, anyone who watched Alabama knows he struggled to turn and locate the ball. You're not bringing some new revelation by posting the exact same thing 10 times over.

In hindsight, I have no idea how more people didn't predict it

Because they hate Bama players and bought into this stiff hips notion.

Nah. I get it. You're stoked about Humphrey. No shame in that. 

As much as I trashed the pick last night. It cam.. I mean could have been so much worse. 

 

Just fwiw though. You got your W. Now Ozzie needs to draft Butt and give me mine

I was joking.

I actually felt like Humphrey was the pick all the way in February because the Ravens raved about him at the Senior Bowl.

Corner? Alabama? First round talent? All the stars aligned.

Sounds great! Too bad the board will be long shut before you can have a pic of them two together

Damn... that's such a sad thought...

I'll probably try to travel up again this year and make it a point to get both in a picture.

But Jimmy is your boy? How is he gonna feel?

He knows he's my boi. When I met him after a game, I let him know.

Also, happy for our secondary and for @BmoreBird22 who had been camping for the guy the entire post-season. The dilemma now is, will you change the avatar in these last days or will you stick with the good ole Jimmy?

You know what? When I get home, Humphrey it is.

Just revisiting this to... uh... point out that first round pick at 16.

That's odd, I think his awareness is great, at least when the ball is in front of him.

I would agree. Plus awareness and route recognition.
