[Miami Hurricane]

Full 7 rounds with predicted Comp picks
The 1^st is my ideal draft
Trades: BAL trades 2013 3^rd, 2013 4^th, 2013 7^th, 2014 2^nd for 2013 1^st
1. Justin Hunter WR- At 6’4” 200lbs with 4.45 speed and great hands Hunter has elite #1 potential. He is an explosive athlete that can make an immediate impact in the passing game. He falls to us as a result of an underperforming offense.

1b. Matt Elam S- Incredibly athletic, non-stop motor, and always around the ball. He has been a leader on the Florida defense since his sophomore season and he plays with an unrivaled fierceness. (that may not be grammatically correct) He punishes anyone that comes in his territory and is a natural and fluid center fielder. The only knocks on him are he is a little undersized and that he drops some passes that should be picks.

2. Sharrif Floyd DL- At 6’3” 300lbs Floyd is an athletic big man that dominates at the point of attack and gets great leverage. He has the strength and athleticism to overpower interior linemen. He is constantly in the backfield causing problems and pressuring the QB.

3. Traded

Comp 3. Andrew Jackson ILB- At 6’1” 260lbs he has the size and athleticism to play ILB and play at a high level. He has played well regardless of the competition he has faced. He hits hard never stops and has good instincts.

4. Traded

5. James Hurst OT- At 6’7” 310lbs he has good size but could put on some more muscle. Hurst has done a good job blocking for UNC RB Giovanni Bernard and has graded out well consistently the last couple years. He needs to improve his pass blocking in order to become a complete tackle and slow down speed rushers.

Comp 5. Brandon McGee CB- At 6’0” 190lbs with mid to high 4.4 speed McGee has the athleticism and size to be an effective corner. He doesn’t make many impact plays but does a good job in coverage and making tackles.

Comp 5. Ryan Hewitt FB- At 6’4” 250lbs Hewitt is a dominating run blocker that can also make an impact catching passes.

6. Nick Kasa TE- Kasa is an underutilized weapon in the pathetic Colorado offense. He possesses big play ability along with prototypical size at 6'5" 265lbs as well as being fairly quick for a man his size. He has displayed good hands on his limited chances this season while averaging over 20 yards per catch.

Comp 6. John Boyet/Tyran Mathieu DB- At this pick you might as well take 1 of the 2 assuming that 1 of them will be available at this point. They are both incredibly talented playmakers with impressive athletic ability. They are both undersized and have Injury or character concerns respectively.

7. Traded


This one is more realistic

Trades: BAL trades 2013 4^th, 5^th, and 7^th for 2013 3rd

3. Sean Porter OLB- Porter excels as a 3-4 OLB. He uses his speed to get past linemen to pressure the quarterback. He also displays decent strength and size at

3b. Bacarri Rambo S- At 6’0” 220lbs Rambo is a playmaking ball hawk of a safety. He uses his great speed and instincts to make plays. Even though he has talent and a high ceiling he comes with character concerns that drop his stock.

4. Traded

Comp 4. Kiko Alonso ILB- At 6’3” 240lbs Alonso has been a stout defender on a turnover machine of a defense. He forces turnovers, stops the run, and does well in coverage. Alonso is a complete linebacker with the athleticism and drive to continue to improve his game.

5. Traded

Comp 5. James Hurst OT- At 6’7” 310lbs he has good size but could put on some more muscle. Hurst has done a good job blocking for UNC RB Giovanni Bernard and has graded out well consistently the last couple years.

Criticism and opinions greatly appreciated

I Love Hunter don't get me wrong, but there are too many holes on defence atm. Sure we're starting to figure them out, but we need some more elite defensive prospects to prevent a total disaster in 2-5 years when both Ray and Ed will inevitably retire. If you want to help the offence and defence simultaneously I say go O line in the first. Offence spends more time on the field, scoring more points with a first round guard or tackle. I LOVE your later round picks though. I also think that we don't have a true #1 but we have a lot of solid guys that can play by commity! Perhaps we wont have that 1200+ yards guy with 10+ TD's but we'll have 3 guys with 700+ yards and 5+ TD's each, if Flacco had more time to throw, and our running game was more of a threat.

I thought about focusing on D but i wanted to mix things up.

well the FO does always go BPA so you may be right...

i just don't see the ravens trading for a second first round pick. and i agree that defense is the biggest need for the ravens.

[gabefergy]

Not a fan at all of trading up to take a WR in this draft. I think defense needs to be the priority and maybe take a flyer on a WR day 2 or 3. I also like Keenan Allen a lot more than Hunter, but thats just me. Remember we have a lot of young WR talent already on the roster so if we trade up for anyone it should be an OT like Jake Matthews or Taylor Lewan.

or nix, Jenkins or warmack. Can't see any of them three being there when we pick.

[BloodRaven]

I'd be happy with these drafts, I'd prefer solidifying the trenches but Hunter would help transition from Boldin, and into a more balanced team.

Im not a big fan of Jenkins, but would absolutely love to get Nix or Warmack.

Jesse Williams is better than both, although I'm starting to warm to Warmack as well.

I like Williams too, but would have him slightly behind Nix.

[Bravens292]

while getting a wr is cool and all, as long as cam is here, he will be useless. i'd prefer any position in the trenches with our first pick.

[dhstandard]

I want a defensive player in the first.
