It's pretty funny/sad that if you go read articles about our first round pick grade or whatever, every other comment is about Perriman's hairline. I think he needs to ditch the dreads, they don't go well with the receding hairline, not like its a bad thing, yah can't control it, genetics suck sometimes
Just started watching some tape on Landon Collins and after a couple minutes i found myself paying more attention to Bama's other safety Perry, i gotta say I'm a fan
I also had the same problem when watching Strong. I chose the Strong vs Peters game and just watched Peters
strong and peters were actually quite evenly matches, nice back and forth between the 2, not strongs fault his qb couldnt make the ball come within 10 yards of him everytime he targeted him lol
And you know Ozzie loves the Bama Boys!
Khalil Mack named All-Pro at two positions, he was my (and a lot of peoples') favorite player in that draft, I wasn't a trade up advocate but man if we could do it over I don't think it would have been a bad move to move up 10 spots
But when there is a complete prospect like Mack you do so!! Where else are you getting game changers?? You have to take a chance on them.
price would have been way to steep and you are banking 2 drafts on 1 player. god forbid anything happens to him lol
RGIII says otherwise about sending a ton of picks to move up for one player
That draft was stacked though. Up there with 2011 if you ask me and that is saying something.
Lots of great players still on the board, can't wait for tomorrow. I'm iffy on Perriman but i think he'll turn out just fine. Even if you don't like him just keep in mind that one player doesn't make or break a class. Just look at the Elam draft class, when you have a GM like Ozzie you will find players in all 7 rounds so don't get hung up on one in particular.
Mackensie Alexander is currently falling under the "more I see the less I like umbrella" for me. I love the attitude and the raw coverage skills but I think his aggressiveness will get him in trouble in the NFL. I have a tendency to give DBs the benefit of the doubt and even I think he gets away with a bit much. Also hate the fact that he can't get off blocks to save his life, if there's a body on him then he's a non factor on run D.
His aggressiveness scares you and not ramseys?
I'm not a fan of Ramsey either...
I wouldn't worry about things that can be adjusted and coached at the NFL. I care more about their ability, size, athletcism, ect. the stuff you can't coach. Those are the traits that often separate special players from the rest of the pack
Moving Webb to FS could be a homerun with a full off-season at that position to get ready, could also be a complete bust but what do we have to lose at this point? Our FS play has just been terrible the last two years.
Opens up a huge hole at CB. Will probably put VH3 and Ramsey very high on our big board.
I always liked his ball skills, can't get worse than Elam and Lewis.
Wright has been decent at CB, and didn't Will Davis show some stuff before going down?
According to many in the draft forum Ramsey and VH3 are hyped/boom bust. We might be better off trading back and taking Alexander/Fuller. Who knows, ultimately it'll be up to the scouts and the FO.
Must...resist...urge....to do mock draft during exam week...
I was up till 4AM doing a report. You are not alone ![]()
After that I got 3 exams on Friday.
Me? I just work all day as a car salesmen...i need to go to school :/
Nobody ever questioned Torrey's character, he's a high class guy and no one can deny that. One can only assume that he wrote the open letter because he's already got a deal in place for Tuesday, it always sucks to see a familiar face go. All that being said i don't think Torrey (play wise) is irreplaceable, lets just hope that him leaving means we'll go WR high finally.
Polamalu more instinctive than Reed? because he jumped over the line one time? by all means lets all forget the 100 other times he tried that move and failed. Polamalu over Reed is a joke.
@TDubbs Reed didn't actually retire. He said it was an April Fools joke.
@ravensnick ... Dang, I guess I just read it like a footnote, or maybe some wishful thinking. Makes sense now I suppose, there would at least be a bit more Reed talk when he hangs it up for good.
REEEEEEEED. Thegreatest
Seems like the unlikely star of the draft so far is Laken Tomlinson. Really hope the kid makes it, i think we saw the future "man of the year"
Should we shop Pitta for a late round pick or in a player trade when he gets back? Doesn't seem to be much room for him anymore, Gillmore has come on strong and both Boyle and Williams have had great flashes.
The Ravens can't trade Pitta since it will actually due harm to their cap than good

He will most probably retire before the end of the season.
So is Marvin Lewis on the hot seat now? in 12 years of being the Cincy head coach he still has not won a playoff game and now their are question marks as to whether he can control the team at all. Over the past few years some people have said he should get fired because his Bengals have run straight into a wall, even with Dalton they can't win a playoff game. Perhaps a coaching change is in store for them.
I'd agree. Mike Brown doesn't make changes that quickly. He is very loyal.
Ha... They can win all season but the important one is all the owner wants s
He stays. But i honestly think he is on the hot seat. If Dalton never got hurt, more than likely they are 1 or 2 seed with a bye...
The more i watch of Tray Walker the more i like. Guy needs work but given a year he will be darn good with some coaching. You can't teach size and mindset and Walker has both. Gotta love corners that aren't afraid to hit.
This is shaping up to be a crazy offseason - Ngata traded to the Lions, Jimmy Graham traded to the Seahawks, McCoy traded to the Bills - what the heck is going on?
To be honest I don't see why everyone loves Ogbah, finally got around to watching a bit of his tape and does he only know how to bull rush?
Unlike a lot of people i wouldn't mind Funchess if he's available in the second. Williams and Walford are more ready right away but Funchess' potential is interesting
i would like him in the 2nd. would be a great pick
The only issue is he'll work mostly out of the slot, essentially a move tight end, and the Ravens already have Camp for the slot, unless they want Funchess to play TE and play inline, also
would like to see chris conley in the black and purp
What the heck are we going to do about our TEs? We've got 4 that I don't want to cut. Pitta will be 100% again (or as close to 100% as he's going to get at this point), Crockett has showed a ton and then some to deserve his job, Maxx flashed toward the end of the season plus he was a high pick, and Boyle was doing better than Maxx until his injury. What are we going to do? Take up 4 spots?
If Pitta is cut he will be post June 1 only saves 600k before that and 5 mil after although we will crry some dead money over to 2017
Pitta is the obvious cut. Maxx and Gilmore are the guys. Boyle may not be the same player after getting caught with the horseysauce. On the other hand.... Maxx on juice to build quick twitch lean muscle for burst and explosion in a hurry. To go with his smooth savvy routes!! lol there would be no conversation to compare Boyle and Maxx. Maxx would be the best TE in the league.
0% chance even a healthy Pitta is back next season at his current salary. Guy had over a year to come back and still couldn't get clerance...
^ goes out of his way to make a re-final mock to have us taking McDowell in the first round, guy comes out a few hours later as a flat Earther on twitter...whelp, guess who's making a new mock next week.
I'll admit, i'm sort of surprised that literally no one ever picked up Will Hill, he must have been really unapologetic about his issues so no one even wanted to try signing him regardless of his 10 game suspension. I just would have thought that some safety needy team would have signed him for next to nothing at some point.
Not even mad we missed the playoffs, we did it to ourselves. The way our offense has played all year, frankly, we didn't deserve to make it. The disparity between our offense and defense is remarkably bad and it's not even a talent issue, offense has pieces but poor execution and poor coaching would wreck any unit.
I agree, should've won vs. Redskins, Jets, Giants and Raiders. Hopefully, this sparks constructive change in the off season - not just more of the same. Only sad part is Smitty (likely) retiring without a ring.
As I see it, we desperately need to upgrade the pass rush. Furthermore, adding talent in the secondary and O-line wouldn't hurt.
Agreed
Not that we didn't know this already, but leaving Weddle out of the Pro Bowl is clear sign that it means very little at this point, popularity contest to say the least.
So reports are that the 49ers are canning both GM Baalke (Long overdue) and Chip Kelly. So how long until they ask for an interview with DeCosta? And how long until he turns them down?
