    WELL ... Barnett has just become more of a real consideration bc we just traded Timmy Jernigan plus our # 99 overall pick for their # 74 overall pick.

    IDK... I don't like it. I know that we were going to lose Timmy but If we would have moved up 25 spots and got an extra 5th rounder from them.. I would have felt good about it... but

    Even we just let him play his contract out and lost him... we would have gotten a 4th round pick for him. So basically we traded a starter at 3rd round pick and a 4th round to move up 25 spots this year in the 3rd round?

    what makes you think we would have gotten a 4th round pick for him? That's not a guarantee.

    Nope you are right we could have got a 3rd.... I was just being conservative in making my point but your right.... we may have traded away a starter and two 3rd round picks for a higher 3rd round pick! SMH

    A 3rd? LOL. It's more likely we would've received a 5th, or nothing than a 3rd.
    This is another A+ move by the FO this offseason.

    HOME RUN for the Ravens! Like I called right when the season ended, the entire Ravens FO and staff are operating as if their hair as well as their back side being on fire. And they have every reason to.
    First: good luck to Timmy. He will do awesome in Philly. He is undoubtedly a DT in a 4-3. He doesn't belong in a 3-4 at all. He'll kick tail next to Fletcher Cox.
    More Importantly: This is a home run for the Ravens. If they take care of business in 3 weeks. Long Term, And Short Term. 100%. I could go off for a couple hours explaining why. This makes us better right now, and in the future. Zero downside. 100% upside move.

    I'm still of the opinion that Ozzie cannot pick the wrong position at #16. He can pick the wrong guy, but not the wrong position. WR, edge rusher, CB, front seven, OL, RB... even a TE or S would not be a bad idea. And we know he won't pick a QB.
    What makes me think it's gonna be an OT or OG is the fact that this is the thinnest rookie pool of our truest need positions in this draft. There are gonna be great options for WR, rusher and CB in the second round, ones that could even be day 1 starters - but if you want an O-lineman who may have to heavily contribute in 2017, you probably cannot wait until after early-second round. You either take the best option at #16 - there is a good chance that all the options are still on the board at that point, but one of the top 2-3 guys are definitely gonna be still available. - or fingers crossed one of the really serviceable guys somehow fall through the cracks and is still there when we pick in the second round. With this few picks I think we can forget about Ozzie trading UP - and count on him trading DOWN at some point.

    Sop, my way-early suspicion is that it's gonna be Ryan Ramczyk Ozzie picks at #6.

    I understand your logic. I just think it has to be a wr or edge guy at 16. Unless we trade down and take an Olineman later in the first.
    Corey Davis would be amazing
    Ross and Williams would be sweet too. Barnett would be sweet as well
    Howard is nuts. But I don't think a Safety, RB, CB, or TE makes sense at all for us at 16. With our roster, FA, and the way the draft is looking at this point. I get what you're saying though

    We should've never shipped him away. Q- the definition of a Raven. Carried us to a SB too. Top 5 favorite NFL player of mine of all time. Thanks for the memories. I'll never forget you pointing down at the useless NE dbs after catching your tds, while they were helplessly tugging at your feet. Even on TV you could see you pointing at them, while yelling and laughing at the crowd. That was a magical run. Time for everyone that's a part of the Baltimore Ravens to get ready for another one.....

    This is related to Jernigan...and I know people will disagree with this, but just putting it out there.
    Having said all that about Tabor as a possible 2nd round pick in the comment below.......
    I 100% believe that Brandon Carr is a great addition. And I think he'll be with us for at least 2 years....In which case it's tough to spend a 2nd round pick on a corner when you have Jimmy, Tavon, and Brandon. Their styles all compliment each other so well too. Imo, this draft is too loaded to not fill large needs with the first few picks, because we can do so without really straying from bpa at the same time.
    Imo, in addition to reading a lot of our comments all the time, I would say that at least 2/3 of our die hard fans are looking for a Pass Rusher very early for sure, then we're all also looking for a WR and Olineman. With some sprinkled cries for a RB. Which makes sense. Then we all want a cb, and the reasons for that are obvious. We don't even need to go there, but I think the addition of Carr has pushed that need down the line a little for some..SO, what am I getting at with all of this???? Combine those needs, with this Loaded draft, with this- I know a lot of fans don't agree, but I think we are right there with anyone. Roster wise at least. Our coaches- if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all right? So after this draft, I think our Roster will be just as talented as the Patriots, if not a hair more- we need to Land Ross or Davis for the more to happen.
    So with all these needs, and being so close, if we moved Timmy for a 2nd or 3rd, we could fill an immediate need, for cheap, for now and years. Without creating a need as well. We have so many awesome bodies up front that need to be on the field. I like Timmy, but I also want to see Carl Davis, Urban, Pierce for sure, Willie Henry, Kufasi, and then of course BWill is holding down the middle. That's a ton of bodies. And in all honesty, I like Timmy as a player. but I think he's a little overrated. And I'm not even sure if there'd be a drop off from him, to the rest of the guys I listed- again, just my opinion. We have 4 picks in the first 3 rounds right now. If we added another low 2, or high 3 to that, we really could fill all our needs. I would bet anything that at least a handful of pro bowl players go in the 3rd this year. People that would normally go at the top of the 2nd.
    So all in all, the chances are he stays with us. But I definitely think there plenty of reasons to trade him. If, we could get a second or a 3rd, I don't think a 4th would be worth it.

    So, if you read all of that, here's my take quick take on how we could "fill all our of needs", with our 5 picks in the first 3 rounds ( 1 from Timmy).
    Round 1- Barnett- Edge Rusher, and potential future Sizzle replacement
    Round 2 D'Onta Foreman- 234lb rb that just ran a 4.5. Him paired with Dixon for Years would be a thing of beauty.
    Round 2/3-Tiimy Pick- Ju Ju Smith- WR- the Ravens better draft this guy, he's exactly what we need
    Round 3- Pat Elfein- Our awesome Center for the next 10 years
    Round 3- I'll let Ozzie pick the Right Tackle ( wink emoji)

    Again just throwing this out there. This draft is nuts

    Did anybody see Tabor's blazing 40 time at his pro day? LOL
    But in all seriousness, I think that could be a Great thing.
    My dream picks for the first couple rounds are:
    Round One: Corey Davis
    Round Two: Carl Lawson

    But I'm starting to think Tabor is a super interesting option for our second pick. He ran a 4.75 forty today, which should drop him to the second round. And frankly, I don't care about the 4.75 at all. We have Young to play quicker and faster wrs, and we have Jimmy. Tabor's tape is enough for me.
    It's also super funny to me how back when everyone was talking about Tabor as a potential top 10, even 5 pick, people were saying Desmond King is too slow to play corner and go in the first. Now King runs in the 4.5s, and Tabor ran a 4.75 at best at his pro day. Funny how crazy people go with times and the pre draft process.

    Lewis v Hurst for RT will be a good battle in camp, the "loser" could potentially become the starting LG. A stud center in the draft is more important to me than a stud tackle considering our depth chart, and we can find that on day 3 instead of worrying about it day 1 or 2.

    Concidering how bad the Oline is in this draft if we really want someone to improve our line it will have to come with our 1st or 2nd pick. I would love Taco Charlton with our 1st pick so that will leave Dan Feeney with our 2nd pick and he will play Center. That makes RT our only weakness on our line and I have faith we can find someone to step up for that position, either someone already on the roster or a cheap vet pick up after the draft. We learned last year with Zuttah that if the middle of your line is weak then your entire line falls apart. We can always put Crockett on the right side to help with the RT if needed. I just dont want to put our faith in a 3rd day player that will be playing the hardest postion of the line in a hard hitting run first division.

    No way Dan Freeney gets anywhere near our second pick. He's going in the first

    I like your idea and l like Ju Ju as well but l also want one of those top corners. I wonder can we trade back in the second round and get a top corner. I really want Ozzie to be aggressive in this draft. My dream scenario, sign Zach Brown. l wish that Ozzie was interested but doubtful. He deciding between Oakland and Miami right now and he wants 6M a year but he's still on the market. I wish we could give a 3 year 18M deal but it might be too much l guess. Then 1st round draft Derek Barnett, 2nd round Juju Smith, then trade back in the 2nd round a grab a corner Sidney Jones or Desmond King. Might have to give up a 3rd rounder and maybe a 4th but l think it's worth it. I don't know the details though if that deal were so sort of happen. Desmond King is a playemaker at corner and can be at safety so when Eric Weddle is gone in the future, he could take that safety spot or taking Sidney Jones. He might miss have the season in the PUP list, but we could afford to do that let because we got Carr and then we could let him slowly contribute to the defense in the middle of the season. That's is 3 decent players in the draft that l'm will be happy for. 👍

    I'm not sure we'd have to trade back in to the 2nd to grab a good corner - there's loads of good ones I'm projecting falling into the 3rd and even maybe 4th and other better ones I could see falling

    all the guys I could see falling to the 3rd/4th of the top of my head: Moreau and awuzie maybe and then Wilson, Desmond king, tankersley, Witherspoon, kazee, elder

    I don't know who Kazee or Elder is yet. But imo, none of the others corners you just listed make it out of the second round. Maybe Witherspoon, and maybe King. But Moreau, Awuzie, and Tankersley could all go in the first imo. And Wilson will go in the first. I would bet on it. I'm a big fan. I wouldn't take him at 16, now that we have Carr. But I wouldn't be surprised, or mad if we did. I thought he was perfect for us before we signed Carr. But Carr is just a 1 year deal if we want, so who knows. But I like Carr, I think he'll be around for at least 2 years.
    Having said all that there will still be corners in round 3 that would usually go in round 2 at the worst. Like you said.

    Maybe. Maybe not. It would mean that 18 that are selected in the second that would go in the first in other drafts. I believe that's pretty accurate. Some drafts are pretty awful and really teeter off big time even after the first 10 players or so. I could go into greater detail about it and bring up a lot of specific players, but that would take a while. But just one player specifically-
    Ju Ju Smith. After Corey Davis, I sincerely feel that Smith is the best wr in this class. I believe that he is better than Mike Williams right now, and long term. And because there's so much talent in this draft, I haven't seen Smith mocked in the first round once. It's super interesting as well that almost all their measurables are almost exactly the same. From size, to 40, to bench, to broad jump. Everything. Ju Ju has bigger hands though. I think Ju Ju is elite is just about every category, except for his 40 time. But it's the same as Williams. Smith's character and drive is top notch as well. I think Ju Ju Smith is a 20 year old version of Q that is probably more gifted athletically than Q ever was.
    Smith is exactly what we need. EXACTLY. Short term and long term. He would pair so perfectly with Perriman. I hope the FO recognizes that. Considering none of these guys went in the first, and they were all exactly what we needed, and still need, it was incredibly painful for me to watch us not select them in the draft- Jarvis Landry, Keenan Allen, Michael Thomas, and Sterling Shepard. Just to name a few.
    I'm very aware that we operate by the theory of "BPA" in the draft. But I just can't help but think how perfect this start would be for us in terms of need and BPA together-
    Round 1: Barnett or Taco or Takk
    Round 2: Ju Ju Smith

    I know everyone has there own opinions. But I give the FO an "A" for Free Agency. For sure. And it's still not over.
    If we could add Barnett and Ju Ju to our team, and others..............my excitement and anticipation levels for the season would be out of control. I know we would be ready. I'm already ridiculously stoked thinking our D

    There may well be first round talent pushed deeper into the 2nd because other teams will have different opinions on their first round grades/drafting for need - normally I think I have between 20 and 27/28 first round grades so 36 is quite a significant increase

    i don't quite see the same ceiling you do on juju but I really like and enjoy his skillset - I certainly don't have a first round grade on him though - for me I'm coming around a bit on the idea of him at our 2nd pick but I'm not in love with it yet

    the longer we go through this process though, the more confident I feel that the first two picks are going to be pass rusher or wide receiver at each pick - corners with 1st/2nd round talent may be aplenty in the 3rd I think

    Right on. I completely agree with that 3rd paragraph.
    The only thing I see screwing up the Pass Rush and Wr combo for the first 2 rounds, in any order, is if our FO falls in love with a lineman. Like Cam Robinson per say. I hope it's not the case

    Well I think that's a little exaggerated - I've been kind and I've graded maybe 35-40 guys as first rounders

    In this draft, I'd probably do it for a 3rd as well. It would have to be in the top half of the 3rd though.
    Getting as many picks in the 2-80 range in this draft is huge
    On a related note, the browns have so many picks this draft and next year. Of course they've been a joke for so long, but that really might come to and end soon. They have a good coach, they just beefed up their oline nicely, and they might add Garret, Watson, and a lot more. There are bound to be a number of teams that just absolutely nail the first 3 rounds of this draft. It's going to go so far for the whole organization, for so long. Hopefully we're one of those teams

    Still with you there doom.  I draw the line at 4 though.  Even if its a high 4, there would have to be some other forms of compensation if the highest picks we get are in the 4th.  I am pretty certain that the FO wouldn't let him go for that kind of pocket change though.  It looks like we are taking another one out of Bills book though. He did the same thing with two of his top linebackers last year.  It could be just a fad like the last one.  I dont think Marshall Yanda lined up in the slot at all last year. The Browns are going to be tough next year.  They picked Emmanuel Ogbuh in the early second last year and he kind of flew under the radar but he played well.  Him and Garret are going to be force.  And speaking of the LBs Bill traded last year, Jaime Collins signed a long term deal. There NT Sheldon really came into his own last year as well. But really its going to come down to QB play.  Very few QBs come in and light things up their rookie year like Dak did.  Hue got those guys to buy in last year.  If they play well this year Hue is going to be a huge reason for their success.  I will say that I think they made some odd decisions in FA this year and previous years for that matter.  Letting go of Mack and Shwartz is crazy especially when the draft pick you took in the first a few years ago to replace one of those guys has played terribly.  Its not iike they didnt have the cap space.  One thing I know is that we got lucky when they took Manziel and not Carr.  We should probably send the homeless guy who convinced Jimmy Haslam to take Manziel a gift basket or something.  Its the least we could do

    Yeah seriously. Not only did they take Manziel, but at the same time, they passed on Mike Evans and Kalil Mack!!!! for Justin Gilbert LOL....YES.
    On that same note, while I do think Adoree Jackson is a better prospect, he reminds me a lot of Justin Gilbert- an electric return guy, that is fast, that also plays corner. I'm not sure Jackson will ever be a great corner, which is scary when people just fall in love with his return ability, and talk about him as a first round pick. Some even mentioning him as a dark horse pick for us at 16?!?! AH, no thanks. It also puts things in perspective with how loaded this draft class is. Jackson probably won't go til the 2nd round, yet a much worse prospect, Gilbert, went 8th overall. Just a couple years ago too. This draft class is insane. The second round this year will be absolutely loaded with First round talent this year, no matter how the first round goes down. There's easily 50+ first round players in this draft

    Flacco is not a guy like Brady who elevates the play of the people around him. Flacco needs a strong OL and talented WRs. If we can get them, he will put the ball in their hands, and we will win games. If we go into the season with an OL of similar quality to last year, then Flacco will spend all his time backing up and throwing off his back foot. I can't believe the FO is unaware of that fact; however, we have not seen any indication of what the OL or receiving corps are going to look like,

    People say this all the time, and the facts continue to prove that it isn't remotely close to being true. If Flacco doesn't elevate the play of those around him, then how does Torrey Smith go from averaging over 800 yds and 7 tds to being virtually worthless in SF? Steve Smith was better at 35 and 36 with Joe than he was in his last couple years with CAR. Did he age backwards or did playing with Joe help him out? Mike Wallace's career was taking a nose dive until last year. Ed Dickson even had much better receiving numbers with Joe than he's had in CAR. We've never seen one receiver fail to be productive with Flacco and then light it up somewhere else. Never. Not even close. Meanwhile, whenever Brady gets hurt, his backup comes in and plays very well and wins games, but Brady gets credit for making others better and Flacco does not.

    Sorry. Everything is situational. I disagree with just about all of this. Comparing Torrey being on the worst team in the league this year, vs getting his multiple deep shots every game with Joe doesn't make sense. Steve Smith was better at 35 and 36 with Joe??? You can't be serious! Steve Smith is a triple crown winner! A HOFamer. And those 2 massive accomplishments had nothing to do with playing with Joe. Once Again, like Torrey, Mike is a one trick pony. And like Torrey, he was stuck on 2 teams without a QB, and definitely without a QB that can throw the deep ball. Wallace lit it up with Ben cuz he could throw it deep. Stats never tell the whole story. And Ed Dickson?Really, Ed Dickson? I'll leave that one alone. And are you really comparing Joe to Brady, with any sentence or comparison at all. As much as I hate Brady, that's just dumb. And that's not true about Brady's backups. They still win a lot cuz BB is ridiculous, and far and away the best coach. And their D is always underrated for some reason. Brisset is a 3rd round pick, came in and played the Bills at home. The patriots did not score a single point. Yet Brady put up 38 points and 4tds, in 3 quarters, in Buffalo. Flacco has not received much help when it comes to providing him with a legit #1, but he also doesn't elevate those around him much, if at all. He can throw a deep ball, and I would love to see us get back to that. But the coaching has a lot to do with that. I think the line will turn out well too. Between the coaches and Flacco's play last year, I just really hope I can forget about it to be honest. It was embarrassing. New season coming up though. I would imagine Joe's knee is feeling better. But if his heart isn't in it, it won't matter. I'm not bashing Joe, but he should not be compared to Brady. Last year was his worst year imo and it's in the past. We need to get the man a John Ross, or Corey Davis. Ju Ju would be GREAT too!

    Not one of your excuses holds water. 62 of Wallace's 72 catches last year were for FEWER than 20 yds, as were the majority of Torrey's catches in Baltimore, so saying the drastic difference in production is only because of the deep ball is simply false. And if Wallace didn't play with a qb in Minn, then how was a rookie, late round WR able to out play him with the same qb? SSS may be a HOFer, but how many HOFers get better after 35? There was a major improvement from his final season in CAR to his first season here, and he was on pace to do even better in his second season with Joe. Again, did he age backwards? I'm not saying Joe made him a great player, but it makes no sense to say he had nothing to do with that at all. Smith even Raved about Flacco's leadership style without being asked about it. They clearly had a chemistry that wasn't there with Cam, and Joe put the ball where it needed to be. As far as Dickson goes, you left that alone because the facts prove you are wrong. He had much better numbers with Joe than with Cam. There is a consistent pattern with pass catchers playing better with Flacco than without him, which proves he DOES make players better.

    You said Brady's backups win because of BB. Who do you think coaches the team when Brady plays? You cherry picked a bad game by their 3rd string, rookie qb who was playing injured, but Jimmy G, without Gronk, had a better qb rating than Brady this year.He had 3tds and 234 yds before halftime when he got hurt. I realize that's a small sample size, but they had a top 5 offense without Brady all year when he tore his acl.

    We completely disagree........fair enough. It happens

    Me myself personally in all three regards like when a WR does his thing after a big catch or TD! When Jacoby Jones danced in the endzone after scoring those two TDs in the Super Bowl can anyone say they weren't just as happy?! Triple " S " backed it up week after week and got his respect from players on the opposite team! Jernigan is our dancer now on Defense and he is doing his thing also so Diva or Soldier catch the rock make a good play and do your thing! They work hard so they can play hard as well! And these players that just love the game are not getting in trouble on or off the field! Well maybe on the field a Lil bit Lol!

    I don't have a problem with some celebrations, but carrying a sharpie in your sock, jumping into a giant Salvation Army kettle, etc. is stupid. 

    Stupid, but if they make plays to carry us to victory, who cares?
