if you guys haven't seen this video of marlon getting the call then watch it because it nearly made me cry just watching it

hindsight is useless but isnt lattimore a 1 year starter as well?
i cant believe i didnt put tim williams on my list lol - eluemunor helped me out but i only hit 2 guys - bowser and eluemunor: 5 points
this was one of the guys i really wanted on the roster - i know he's probably not going to come in and contribute straight away but he's driven and forced his way towards his dream when it would have been easier to do something very different - he has all the tools to develop into a strong starter as long as he can get the game down - but as long as he stays healthy through a couple of training camps and we find a way to stash him this season (unless he develops quicker than expected) then he could develop into a steal - the only thing is that if he drops to the practice squad we probably wont see him again because of the athletic tools

we already hit our quota for cool names with tyus bowser - fish smithson would have caused overload

People don't realize the Ravens lost a lot of their best ST players- Juice, Huff and Elam (believe it or not) were two of the best ST players on the roster last year and they're gone. Clark has good field vision/tackling ability and seems like a perfect ST coverage guy. With Levine, Waller, Onwuasor, McClellan, Canady and now Clark- there's a solid group of ST players on the roster to aid with the last season's departures.
that's an incredibly good point id completely ignored - mclellan's still here, levine is still here but we also lost zach orr, juice, elam, and because of the depth at tight end there's no guarantee waller makes it this year either so while im not sure he was the BPA on offense/defense he may well have a larger effect on this team than any of the other guys we might have drafted - still disappointing but given the way the rest of the draft fell i can easily get behind him and say welcome to baltimore and hopefully we dont need him on the field on defence

eluemunor was a great pick - chuck clark ill agree was underwhelming
oh man this was such a deflation - i was absolutely pumped after this draft but chuck clark kind of took the wind out of my sails
i literally never saw this coming - have not seen anything on this guy
isaiah ford? channing stribling?
all the analysts and even our FO in the pre-draft presser said how deep this tight end draft is yet there are so many still on the board
is there something wrong with isaiah ford?
Decoud's gone ![]()

Raw, but the size, power and athletic traits are all there. And we're typically good at developing these guys.
I think he has late 2nd, 3rd round talent (in this draft) but there's very limited tape on him and some of it is pretty bad.
But you project you can make him more consistent to get the good you see on tape from him week in week out.
Interesting though that we picked him as an OG. I thought if we picked him it'd be to try him at RT. That may still be but looks like we're just grabbing big, nasty talent and are going to just let them all compete. And may the best 5 win.
His lack of discipline is to be expected given his not growing up around the game but his learning curve has been steep yet he's exceeded expectations each time he's stepped up

He has the frame and athleticism to play anywhere on the line - his biggest drawback is his lack of experience just being around the game
That poor animal
Oh man the browns are having one hell of a draft

El-you-manure
My guy
Yeeeeeeesssssss
Jayon brown is a great pickup there
Haha they drafted a kicker
This db class is so deep that undersized guys just lasted all this way just because they're less than 6 feet tall

humphrey wasn't my favourite pick at the time and he still isnt but the more i see of his character and motivation and the more i think about the fit the more the pick grows on me
bowser is an excellent pick, wormley was disappointing and i think he might be the pick im most disappointed by, tim williams is an absolute steal, nico siragusa wasnt my first choice but philosophically he seems to be a great fit and he certainly is flashy at times, eluemunor was a guy i really wanted us to take at some point in this draft, chuck clark i dont want to be mean about but he feels a little like mr irrelevant in terms of offense/defense but i can see how he fills a need on special teams given the guys we lost this year (juice, elam, huff, orr and the fact that theres no guarantee waller will make the team for example)
i give this draft a solid A-
Day 1 was a B
Day 2 was an A+
Day 3 was a B+
