if SSR. is INFATUATED with COOPER KUPP,that is saying alot!

sure hope the RAVEN'S aren't FOOLISH enough to pick a RB in the first round,on average RB'S last 3 year's and take up plenty of CAP space,i would like to turn an ALL round athlete like ADOREE JACKSON into a PASS catching RB and RETURN guy that we need,HE ALSO HAS great (yac) and in a PINCH can help in the SECONDARY.

real shame OSEMELE wasn't a PRO BOWLER for the RAVEN'S.the RAIDERS understand the nessesity of having a GREAT front line on offense,especially with FLACCO,if he gets touched,he drops the ball.

too bad our UN-ELITE QB is taking up a majority of cap space on offense,it would be great to grab JEFFERIES and BRANDON MARSHALL,and immediately have 2 PLAYMAKER'S open on every play.

i would hope they'd bring in another MINNESOTA player in QB SAM BRADFORD,if they decide not to keep him.

after really going over the top rated corner's there seem's to be either an injury prone or a black mark on any that would fall to us,we need one more good one,but now seeing value in the second and third rounds.

with ELAM gone,makes sense to draft a young safety,like DES KING in the second round.

hope they use an early pick on a emotional,tough,scrappy,smart,QUARTERBACK,as we don't have one on the roster.

JU JU sounds good too! hope we draft back in the first and grab a do it all corner/safety/returner in ADOREE JACKSON or DES KING and then a great receiver or a QB like MAHOMES.

i certainly hope COOPER KUPP doesn't have a great SCOUTING COMBINE,and we some how draft UP to get him in the second round,he has intangiables like deceptive speed after the catch,9YAC0 yards.

i sure hope PIERRE GARCON id added to this offense,still has plenty of TREAD and BLOCKS downfield.at the same time for some reason i think he's ready for 1 last FAT contract to retire on.

if they WASTE a 1ST ROUND pick on a 3 year average player like a RB in a draft where we sorely need a DURABLE ,TOP RATED corner,i'm out of here and going to KC.my other team.

ABSOLUTELY the BEST route in this CORNER heavy draft and the 2 BEST fits for the RAVENS are not the top 3,the BEST RAVEN type player's as in can do multiple thing's to UPGRADE the team are ADOREE JACKSON and DES KING,both can play corner,safety,punt returner and both very willing to help out in stopping the run.ADOREE JACKSON a little lighter but more athletic,DESMOND KING a little more apt to be used in the backend of the secondary.there may be corners rated above them,but are not the well rounded players as ADOREE JACKSON and DESMOND KING,both slated to go in the backhalf of the first to the PATRIOT'S and PITTSBURG that both see their value.I would not want either going to PITTSBURG.

the RAVEN'S need to realize,PERRIMAN'S a BUST! he makes 1 catch a game and hit's the showers.PIERRE GARCON would be would be the next DERICK MASON or ANQUAN BOLDIN,a tough,gritty,blocking,possesion receiver.

PIERRE CARCONE is still a BIG TIME BALLER,still quick and alway's block's downfield on run play's,grab him up!

i would absolutely want ED REED coaching the next ED REED in DES KING.

none of the above

i think one thing people are over looking is the FALCONS did lay out the BLUEPRINT on how to beat the PATS,from what i saw,they were a team built exactly the way DENVER won their SUPERBOWL.to me they would of won ofcourse if they even just answered the PATS scores with atleast field goals,i would of opened up with the hurry up,further wearing their defense out and adding points,instead of going into clock killing mode,they should of went into PATS killing mode.even if BRADY and BELICHICK retire,the PATS will still win titles because their game plan is ingrained into the franchise.

I like the idea of multi- positions and sure the Kid might be a great fit or he might be another Matt Elam. For a solution with a higher percentage of success to the Cornerback issue The Ravens need a definitive NFL CB not a project. One that is required to step in and be the strong side CB. Smith has proven himself unreliable at staying on the field, they will not let him go obviously if he is healthy enough to perform as a rule. However it was obvious this year, the minute he leaves the field the Ravens backfield changed drastically for the worse. There is no practical reason to repeat that same process. Get an experienced corner who can play at an equal level to Smith or Tavon or higher. Sure add this kid or 2 CB in the draft. I say, regrettably, get rid of everyone from last year except Smith and Young. But in my opinion, the Ravens must pay the money, get a CB with NFL experience and high talent in the area of covering pro-bowl WR receivers because that is who the Ravens contend with week after week. Its time to figure it out Oz and Eric, that's why you are there.

you saying get rid of WEDDLE?

No I was thinking Corner, as far as replacing all but Smith and Young. The Ravens must get a Corner in FA. However to be specific , Elam, Arrington, Powers, Lewis -Harris, Price and K. Lewis all can go. Sure The Ravens could pick up King as a S/DB and another CB, even 2 more in the Draft. At this point for financial and cohesive reasons keep S - Webb, Weddle, Huff and Levine. Then adding some young blood, decent FA moves and maybe some UFA's, I think will be the way to make the changes needed to push this backfield toward the top half of the NFL.

yeah,i thought WEBBIE didn't do terrible in his first year at safety.

i'm reading on corner rankings that with DES KINGS frame,he will be the best corner in run support,i'll take a little slower guy that can help out in many areas.

Since the Ravens need a upgrade from Webb why not replace him with CB that has actually ball skills and can tackle. The kid isn't afraid to stick his nose and he is a ball hawk. The Ravens need defensive playmakers in the short term he can play some CB while transitioning to safety.

i thought WEBB held his own pretty well last year,wasn't terrible

heard people talk on here that DES KING is slow,ok,so JIMMY SMITH runs a 4.42 and DES KING runs a 4.43

Funny how you take the fastest time for King but not for Jimmy. King runs consistently 4.5-4.6 (His slowest time was 4.63). Jimmy's fastest time was 4.32 (his slowest was 4.53). Jimmy actually ran a 4.49 at the combine, we'll see what King runs.

But 40 times are not a good measure for CB & cover-ability - look at the 20 yard shuttle & 3 cone drills. Marcus Peters had a 7.03 3-cone and a 4.08 20 yard shuttle (really good numbers). Jimmy Smith had a 6.93 3-cone and a 4.06 20 yard shuttle. These are the numbers the Ravens use more so than 40 times. Case in point - Tavon was the fastest CB in 20 yard shuttle (12th in 3 cone) last year. Canady & Chris Moore also were near the top.

King would make a great coverage Safety which is why I said he would be a good fit for the Ravens. He might make a decent CB in the right system but I wouldn't put him on an island and I sure wouldn't trade back up into the 1st Round to draft him....but I'm also not the All-Universe GM/Scout/HC like SD. Dance for me!

yeah,i guess i just see him as being more physical and more durable,i dont think i gave J SMITHS slowest 40 but did give KING'S 40 just kinda showing he's not that far behind in speed,i heard he's another REVIS,well i like him and his projections are good as a pro,but i'm not real educated on players,i really would like to see us take a great corner,i feel we would of won more close games last year if we had a guy like RAMSEY.

Would be a good fit for us. He's a zone coverage guy, rather than man coverage, and we play a ton of zone coverage. Smith-Tavon-King-Weddle-Webb nickle package looks pretty good. And our resident guru Mr. All-Universe GM/Scout/HC says he's Darrell Revis and we should take him the 1st Round.....lol

LOL. Now you put he's a good fit for us! On earlier posts you put he can't cover outside or in the slot and has to play safety! Now he's a good fit for us?? You truly are hilarious. And yes, I said "he IS Revis". funny how you change what I said. I said he reminds me of Revis, as in he has similar parts in his game. And I stand by that. I'm aware he's not as fast as Revis was. No player IS another player. lol. And yes I stand by trading back into the first round in the 20-30 range to grab him, after picking at 16 as well. I don't change my stance. This is what I've been saying for weeks. Anything else?

i'd say he be playing in PITTSBURG if we trade back
