Gruntled Ravens Fan

Honest question. If Conley did not have his incident, would Baltimore have taken him over Marlon?

If we'really signing Tony Jefferson does that mean that drafting a safety is out of the picture? Personally I think it does

I was thinking that it might alter our plans a little bit now since our Safeties are solid (Weddle and Jefferson), they'll help out the secondary which means we target a pass rusher instead of a DB in my opinion.

I'd take him over both. I like Harris but he plays very stiff and doesn't change direction well and is one of the worst run defending edge guys in the class. Personally I'm not big on taco for the ravens, he was highly inconsistent through his college career, showed a solid blend of ability when playing well with decent burst, strength, and bend, but he is another one who doesn't change direction well and I don't like him as anything but a full time 43DE, I really don't like him standing up, and that's another place where watt excels, the offense will never know what he's doing, because he rushes, sets the edge, penetrates, and covers well, and also sniffs out improvised plays well too and is always in the right spot, and he does it all from the same stance so he's always disguised.

Fair enough, I've only seen Youtube Highlights of both Harris and Charlton so I never saw those traits that you mention. 

Would take him over someone like Charles Harris or Taco Charlton? I don't know too much about TJ so I can't say if I like him or dislike him.

Feeney > Robinson for me and it's not close. I first watched Robinson about 2 weeks ago initially like him a lot but I started to notice his clunky footwork more and more, he's probably the strongest drive blocker in the class but feeney is definitely right behind him and with foot and handwork way ahead. 

I figured we could slide Robinson over to LG and have him play the role that Kelechi Osemele did for us, while also giving Joe some more protection on his blindside. 

Hey, what are your opinions on both Cam Robinson and Dan Feeney? I wouldn't be opposed to getting either one at 16, but if we could trade down 2-3 picks and get either one I would say thats an accomplishment.

one thing I've decided on linebackers after our last 2 draft picks in the second round is this: While speed is great, it is more important that they love football a whole lot and their football IQ is off the charts. For linebackers to be successful, they need to react quickly meaning diagnose plays fast and move fast. Now, if we find these guys and they happen to be really fast, even better. But, I would emphasize football IQ over speed.

I agree, I seem to remember a story about BB being torn between Dont’a and Upshaw as the better prospect and Saban basically said Upshaw was more gifted physically but Dont’a was light years ahead in IQ. But there has to be a line between getting high IQ players and getting a player like Burfict. Burfict may not be the brightest player, he always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

Two fast Linebackers that I think would make a great addition to our team are Kendell Beckwith from LSU and also Jarrad Davis from Florida.

I think we should try and target Keon Hatcher Wr out of Arkansas in the 6th or 7th round. He was able to put up decent stats on an average offense in the SEC. He also has good size which is something we need from our receivers.

Keon Hatcher, WR, Arkansas

Things haven't always been easy for Hatcher during his time in Fayetteville, as his inconsistent hands have caused heartburn for coaches and fans on occasion. But when he's able to concentrate on the easier catches as well as he does on the more difficult ones, opponents must pay close attention to him on every play due to his combination of size (6-2, 210) and speed. Hatcher led the run-first Arkansas squad with 558 yards and six touchdowns receiving in 2014, and will probably put up similar numbers this year with two 1,000-yard rushers on the roster (Alex Collins, Jonathan Williams). Gaudy numbers are less important to NFL teams than athleticism and producing when given the chance; Hatcher could climb up boards if he's able to display both over the next year."

I think Jarrad Davis the LB from Florida is one of the bigger boom or bust players. When he was healthy this year he was a beast, but he did miss a lot of time this year with injuries.

well.. he is not SO good. i didn't said he's bad.) i think he will be solid starter , reliable 4-3 de , but not elite pass rusher. that's why he's not top-10 pick. that's how i see it , my opinion... u know  

off course i'm not sure about that . who knows for sure ? mb you? )

"Solid starter, reliable 4-3 de" we need a solid starter on defense outside of Weddle and Moseley. I see nothing wrong with taking him at #16, though my preference would be Feeney.

As long as we draft a player who can make solid contributions his first year, I don't care who we get. Personally though, I think we should make our Offensive line like Dallas did and try to make life easier on Joe. 

What do you guys think about the cornerback Cam Sutton out of Tennessee? I know he was injured pretty much all season, but he was did great this week at the Senior Bowl and even played Safety showing his versatility.

If our first 4 rounds went that way I'd be ecstatic. I'd try to switch out Josh Malone with Ryan Switzer though.

This was my first shot at it, I tried to get good skill position players as well as get depth players for the defense.

Does it kill anyone else to see Sean Davis the local kid from Maryland playing for Pittsburg?

is it just me who would rather the pats over the steelers?

I'm with you man, I hate the Steelers. I used to hate the pats, but after the way Goodell and other owners in the league railroaded them with suspensions and loss of draft picks, I hope they win tonight.

Lololol brandon chicken... 

"where is mr chicken right now?" 

"....he crossed the road officer" 

im no good lmao. I thought the gun was legal though he just didn't have a permit? That's bad then... again bad judgement, too damn stupid to know the proper procedure for getting a gun, then he is probably too stupid to trust with millions and no supervision 

"....he crossed the road officer" lol if football doesn't workout for him, at least he'll have a career in being a comedian.

You would be reaching if you did that, most people don't have more than two Oline players ranked in the top 20. Miller doesn't have his first Oline man prospect until #37.

I did not know that. On another note, what do you guys think about Budda Baker the safety from Washington? To me he looks like a young Earl Thomas.

I still think we need more info on that. I'm waiting to see if he fails his combine drug test to have a stronger opinion of him off the feild 

Yeah I'm interested in hearing his character interviews. I know I'm in the wrong board, but in my opinion I think we should target an offensive line player with our first pick and try to be like Dallas and making life easier for Flacco, instead of having a strong defense like Seattle but having an offensive line that makes their offense struggle mightily.

Although I like pff I can't agree with them on everything, they have cordrea tankersly as their 4th best prospect on their big board

He's good, but not that good. And they have us taking Tim Williams with our first pick, which probably won't happen now that everyone knows about his failed drug tests.

He has no discipline to his game. He literally bites on everything. One pick six he had, I forget against who, he baited the qb like 3 or 4 times in a row and the qb still threw it his direction. He's terribly coached as a tackler, flies by with his head down and even though he's 200 pounds, he just seems to be afraid of contact, looks like he avoids it at times. And the level of competition has to be a question. The best qbs he faced in his career are Chad Kelly and Joshua Dobbs, and Dobbs torched Floridas DBs. Also has some off the feild issues, he has some attitude problems. 

Oh I didn't know that, I was just going off what PFF said about him.
