Not really saying its the same situation- and while it's true they were in a less talented division they still won some tough games outside of the division and put up a decent fight against the pats in the playoffs with a crappy QB. I might be in the minority here but I think Mallet is better than Brock. Not only that but I think our defense will be stronger than the Texans was last year ( and they were great) , so yes , god forbid Joe goes down but I think regardless we'd have a pretty good shot at atleast a wildcard slot.

With this defense even if Joe were to get hurt I fully expect Mallet would be able to atleast get us to the playoffs. If the Texans can do what they did with Brock last year then there's no reason why we couldn't do even better. Shoot we won a Superbowl with Dilfer. I think people are sleeping on Mallet. He's a very serviceable QB and that was probably one of our most underrated signings thus far this offseason. Great insurance policy.

Honestly I feel like the steelers had one of the strongest drafts out of all 32 teams. Hurts to say that but I can't lie. Esp for where they were choosing.

How so ? Tak went right about where I said he would. Williams fell even farther than we expected but we picked him... Dawkins went right at the very end of the 2nd.. Witherspoon went in the third...and the rest is yet to play out. Only thing I was wrong about was Rasul lasting that long and Golladay ( which nobody really expected him to go that soon) So while I wasn't correct about many of our actual picks ( none of us really were) I'm just curious how it wasn't realistic AT ALL? Nearly every pick was right in the ballpark of where they ended up going..

Not sure about barnidge but certainly the other 3. Yes sir! Pshh #1 or bust. If we were #1 the majority of last year with shareece wrong and no pass rush imagine what this year will be like. The OL will be addressed. Several players in FA left as previous poster mentioned- King Dunlap and Mangold still sitting out there, and they are seasoned vets as opposed to grooming more young guys beside Stanley and lewis. Imagine a line of Stanley- Lewis- Mangold- Yanda - Dunlap. We also are very high on on Deondre Wesley and Nembot. So we will have good depth as well. Remain calm and let Ozzie work.

Look out for Josh Reynolds, King, Kazee, and Donnel Pumphrey.

Alot of people are praising them but I think the browns are absolutely foolish for not taking Watson at 12.

So is cooper kupp not considered a second round talent anymore? Seems like he's slid a bit and is looked at as more of a third round guy..

What do you mean YET AGAIN ? didn't we specifically draft a franchise left tackle last year at #6 overall? Didn't we address wide receiver with our first the year before that? Ozzie literally can't win. Damned if he does and damned if he don't. If we would've taken somebody else and jimmy went down in the thick of the playoff hunt again or Carr didn't pan out everybody would've been calling him a fool for passing on Humphrey too. As I said- ravens fans are NEVER satisfied.

In the first scenario I think we'd go with Davis although Ozzie would be gritting his teeth wanting Howard. Probably reminds him of himself. 2nd scenario simply won't happen- but just for kicks I'd say we'd take Barnett. A year ago I would've said we'd be absolutely nuts to pass up on Fournette but I don't think he's going to transition into the NFL like people think he will and I don't think he's the type of back we're looking for. I feel crazy saying that and maybe I'm dead wrong- I just see him as a big boom or bust guy.

Gonna make this quick and straight to the point. No explanations needed. Most of us know all the prospects and what they will bring to our team. DRAFT A: We will trade back from 16 around 6-10 spots acquiring an extra third and fifth. 1) Tak McKinley OLB 2) Tim Williams OLB ( word is Peppers will slip to the 2nd- don't think he'll make it to our pick but I believe we'd definitely take him in round 2 if he did.) 3) Dion Dawkins OL 3) Ahkello Witherspoon CB 3) Malachi Dupre WR 4) Samaje Perine RB 5) Ryan Glasgow DT 5) Rasul Douglas CB ( Kazee as an alternative option) 6) Kenny Golladay WR DRAFT B 1) Haasan Reddick LB/DE 2) Sidney Jones CB (if he doesn't make it here I have us taking Quincy Wilson) 3) Tarell Basham DE 3) Antonio Garcia OL 4)( tradeback for extra 6th) Josh Reynolds WR 5) Cameron Sutton CB ( Elder as alternative option) 6) Grover Stewart DT 6) Tarik Cohen RB DRAFT C 1) Corey Davis WR 2) Taco Charlton DE ( might not fall this far- if not Charles Harris or Carl Lawson?) 3) Teez Tabor CB 3) Ethan Pocic OL 4) Carroll Phillips OLB 5) Donnell Pumphrey RB 6) Robert Davis WR

His interview on ESPN the other day did rub me the wrong way. struck me as a guy who is hiding some things and once he gets signed he just won't give a damn anymore. Could be totally off base- he just didn't pass the smell test for me and something was off with the attitude.

Were gonna come away with atleast 3 to 4 BIG TIME players when all is said and done. One day away fellas. Bitter sweet though knowing that it also means the board is about to close for good. Will be a major buzzkill after an awesome draft.

I think that's what he meant by the statement too- but thats absolute Malarkey. Ozzie and decosta would not and never will be scared or hesitant to pull the trigger on a player simply based on past results. Every situation is circumstantial and a new opportunity. If anything we're due to finally land one that becomes a pro bowl caliber receiver. I think Tampa is probably the best bet for him too. That's right around the range he'll go- keep him close to home- and you know Jamies would love it as he is a big fan of him.

My thoughts exactly. If it ends up being Lattimore and was just a silly bong video we could have been in prime position to reap the benefits...sexual assault stuff? Nope.
