Humprhey is the only pick i dont agree with. Would rather have king or quicny
My guess is that Ravens got a WR in which they feel like will be a steal
we were better off selecting budda baker honestly
Even kevin king wouldve been better imo. Excellent tackler, great ball skills and uses his length to his advantage.
We better off taking a chance on sidney jones honestly. This guy has no ball skills nor instincts. Man i hope tavon young continue to ball out
out of all the corners, one could clearly tell that marlon lacked ball skills and instincts
Goes to show you that wee have regular people out here who love the game football and can scout players better than there fav team scouting department
No ball skills nor instincts.
we better not take no OL in first
if Sidney Jones is there in 2nd at our pick, id take him over quincy wilson
Im gonna say this... If browns have a great draft this year we are in trouble. Imagine if they go all all defense in first 2 rounds( which is what i would do) or 3 defensive players and maybe fournttte if he drops to 12. That could potentially put them a QB away from competing.
I think baker is better than adams but hey thats just me
IMO Browns should go defense first 3 picks. Garret at 1,barnett/foster at 12 and maybe baker/jones with their 1st 2nd...for now just get you a qb that fits your scheme. In browns position, i feel like its better to wait till the team are QB away from competing.
We are not taking an olinemen in the 1st. Probably not even in the first two rounds unless cam is there in the 2nd
if fournutte makes it past 11 dont be surprised if we trade up for him.. If we stay put at 16, i wouldnt be mad if we drafted 2 defenders first two rounds then, 2 olinemen in 3rd... i feel like this draft we are drafting for the future.
if Flacco is still throwing off his back foot, we will not be making playoffs
5 hours ago, BOLDnPurPnBlacK said:Yea... I think it is true to say that you don't NEED a great WR to win a super bowl, but not to the extreme of saying that great WRs don't win Super Bowls.
Brady's always had a number of weapons - Gronk as you pointed out but also Edelman and last year Hogan played a big role, Bennett and they just got Cooks.
Denver had Demaryius and Sanders.
Even Seattle - Baldwin really started breaking out.
You think about our SB and the plays that got us there... the Pitta/Boldin vertical seam TD catches in the red zone, Jacoby in Denver, Joe's ballsy audible to throw to Boldin hot for that 1st down conversion with the game on the line, Pitta's multiple huge 1st down catches while getting drilled... Torrey stretching the field.
Our loss to NE the year before came down to a WR not making a play. Otherwise we're in back to back SB's.
We always cite Joe's crazy run... but it also coincided with his weapons playing the best they have since he's been here.
And Williams, imo, fits exactly what Joe's missing. That Boldin/Pitta 2012 presence of being open when covered, making the crucial tough catches in crunch time.
Theres players id take over Williams, but certainly not passing him up just bc you can get away with not having great WRs.
I agree mostly with what you said, but none of those wrs you mentioned are great. Gronk is great but he is a TE. Thomas and Sanders are good, but no great like the likes of julio, fitz, calvin type.. I feel like a lot of Raven fans want a julio,fitz, calvin type but do we really need that though? I would love to have wrs that play to our strengths, however id take a great pass rusher over a great wr anyday. if our stuff feels like Mike williams is the BPA, im for it
19 hours ago, RaineV1 said:Julio and Fitz got to the Super Bowl and only fell just short. And the Ravens won the super bowl in part because of Boldin's great play.
As for past great receivers to win the Super Bowl: Gronk (he's more of a receiving threat than a blocker), Colston (Saints in general had a top tier receiving core that year), Reggie Wayne, Greg Jennings, and Hines Ward.
Saying great WRs don't win Super Bowls is just inaccurate. Over the last twenty years the winners (and losers) tended to have some top tier play makers on offense.
" julio and fitz got to the super bowl" getting to SB and winning are two different things. " Boldin great play" yes he played great, but he is not by any means a great wr, but a he is a good one... Gronk is not a WR dude cmon lol... Colston, reggie wayne, greg jennings and hines ward are all not great wrs. Reggie wayne maybe, but not anywhere close to the ones I mentioned...... Seems like you just made up some bs to make my argument seem inaccurate...like i said the last great wr to win a SB was jerry rice
i hope we dont draft a Wr in the first round even if Mike williams, corey davis or john ross turn out to be great nfl wrs. Last great wr to win super bowl was jeryy rice. That means no ring for moss, carter,calvin,owens, julio, fitz etc. All we need are wrs that can play to our QB and system strengths.
No way he winning a another superbowl throwing off his back foot
dont matter if we had the best 3 wrs in the league on our team, if flacco is still throwing off his back foot come preseason or game 1 ..... we are not making playoffs.
if flacco still throwing off is back foot, we are guaranteed to miss playoffs again
people want jamal adams, but i feel like budda baker gonna have a better NFL career than him
I do not want a wr in the 1st round. Anything besides a Wr. Id rather us trade up for lattimore or fourennte before we draft a wr in the 1st

Marlon plays tight coverage,however his instincts and ball skills suck. He reminds me of collins from ATL. We shouldve gotten one of those secondary players from Washington... They were the LOB of college football
