If not for that injury Sydney Jones is a Raven right now...

Its easier when you manage to lose more games and thus get a higher pick.

Lets be honest I think the Ravens might have the deepest secondary in football now which is good because they all have an injury history except for Carr.

The smart pick and based on how fast they did it would be Lamp but I really dont want it to be Lamp so it will not be Lamp.

The trade downs the Ravens did got them a 5th round pick who matched the production. Basically the Ravens have great players for years at 9 of the 11 starting positions on defense, would I like it be 11? Of course but I can't complain about where the defense is right now.

Coverage sacks are and will continue to be a thing in the NFL.

And yet despite knowing that he was still the second highest rated CB on most teams boards. If he had no flaws he would have been top 5.

You mean the guy we knew would need a year and the guy who happened to get an injury that ended his season. I mean I get that since Ozzie hit on pretty much every other pick you have to find something to complain about but still that's a massive reach.

The Ravens use Jimmy in such a way that he can not be going for interceptions. He is too often left on his own with no help and the opponents still won't try him. ONLY an all-pro CB could pull that off. If you want more INTs get a 2nd corner who doesn't require the entire defense to baby him and then they will bappen.

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.

So the question is...what do the Ravens do with Carr?

I kinda respect the Ravens not wanting to take the risk on a skill position player with red flags due to possible injury considering the current circumstances.

I know the words I am going to hear but I do not want to hear them...

Indy you owe the city of Baltimore for leaving. If you take Cam right now...we can call it even.

Please trade Ravens, please do not take Cam...please trade...you know you want to...

I hate you Philly...I hate you so much

So if Green Bay had the power to draft Luck a few years ago they should have done it? BPA does require they actually see the field. I am not advocating for drafting purely based on need because teams that do that lose. I am advocating against blindly following a board and ignoring what players you actually have. Going from Weddler to Hooker is a small upgrade at best, but grabbing Reddick or Barnett or even trading back to grab great 2nd round picks is a MUCH bigger upgrade to the roster overall. The goal of the draft is to make your roster stronger and I would rather go from a 3 to an 8 at a major impact position then an 9 to a 9.5.

Look at the top 5 picks for the past 10 years. Tell me how many are top 5 players at there position. I am GIVING you the fact that he pans out. Is that small of an upgrade worth giving up a MASSIVE upgrade at pass rush. I would rather trade back and take an O-Line and grab an extra 2 then make that pick because this draft is so deep.

Lets assume that he pans out (realistically 20% chance of this) to his potential and is a top 3 NFL safety. Is that a bigger upgrade then picking one of the top pass rushers or trading back and grabbing a second and building more weapons? I love BPA but you balance that against how much an upgrade over the current position are they.

If you can pick up an extra 2 and the amount of top tier players falling, it might be worth the risk.

I wasnt talking about Webb. Webb was a very good safety but you are forgetting about Jefferson and as "old" as Weddle was he was the top safety in the NFL last year. Even if he starts showing his age now thats still 2 more full seasons before Hooker catches up to him and Jefferson is in his prime.

Browns please take Watson, at this point the Ravens can trade back to the 20s and get Barnett.

Right now you KNOW you have 2 of the top 5 safeties in the league and likely the best combo in the NFL. IF he turns out to be everything you think he is how big of an upgrade is that versus the upgrade you are looking at pass rusher or even grabbing Lattimore (who i love but thought was impossible)

lol injured best player and lol they fixed the second corner who was the entire reason that happened, but dont let facts get in the way of your argument.

He isnt going to be beating them out until his 3rd year...maybe. You have possibly the top safety combo in the NFL. Why take a player who will likely not contribute for several years.
