Assuming the Ravens Receive a 3^rd, 5^th, and 6^th Round Pick for All of the Free Agent Loses

1. Robert Woods, WR (6-1 190lbs) USC- He is a well rounded and explosive wide receiving talent. On one play he could stretch the field over the top for a 60 yard touchdown. On the next play he can run a three yard slant over the middle and convert a first down. He is a player that has a polished route tree and understands how to get open. He is exciting with the ball in his hand and he can turn a five yard bubble screen into a 50 yard gain. Woods will leave it all out on the field, selling out his body to make a play.

2. Shayne Skov, ILB (6-3 245lbs) Stanford- Skov is an intimidating presence on the field. Aside from his massive amounts of eye black, Skov possesses high 4.5 speed and incredible instincts.

3. Phillip Thomas, S (6-1 215lbs) Fresno State- Thomas was one of the tops in the country in intercepting the ball. He is an all-around great player and can make an immediate impact. He can cover well, (like Ed Reed) and he can come up in run support (like Pollard).

3. Cornellius (Tank) Carradine, DE (6-4 265lbs) FSU- “Tank” Carradine aside frome his already awesome name. He has great hand play, and un-believable power. He explodes off the ball, and his versatility is no joke. He could easily play the 3-4 DE or OLB positions.

4. Zaviar Gooden, OLB (6-2 230lbs) Missouri- Gooden is one of the fastest outside linebackers ever. He has reportedly been clocked in the 4.4s which is almost unbelievable. Aside from being just fast he is one of the best pass-rushers in this draft.

5. Josh Boyd, DT (6-3 300lbs) Mississippi- Used to playing DE in a 3-4 on either side, as well as the NT position. This is the guy at DT that won't cost that high of a draft pick.

5. Will Davis, CB (6-0 185lbs) Utah State- Played great late in the season. Davis ended his senior year with 5 straight games having an interception. He is a play maker, and a coverage guy. He plays well in the press and is very physical at the line.

6. Blaize Foltz, G (6-4 310lbs) TCU- Foltz is said to be capable in both pass and run protection. If Gradkowski assumes starting centre, depth will be required for the interior.

6. Travis Kelce, TE (6-5 260lbs) Cincinnati- Kelce, who lines up both on the line of scrimmage and in the slot, looks the part and has the athleticism to stretch the field and create after the catch, doing a nice job using his hands to snatch the ball out of the air.

7. Collin Klein, QB (6-5 230lbs) Kansas State-Joe Flacco’s durability is outstanding, but there is always the chance that he will go down. When he does go down the Ravens need someone to take over. But many people think his play style wont transfer into the NFL.


Undrafted Players:

1. D.J. Hayden, CB (6-0 190lbs) Houston
2. Josh Jenkins, OG (6-4 305lbs) West Virginia
3. Chuck Jacobs, WR (6-0 180lbs) Utah State
4. Shamarko Thomas, S (5-10 210lbs) Syracuse
5. Jake Johnson, ILB (6-1 240lbs) South Alabama
6. Darius Smith, DT (6-2 315lbs) Miami Fla.
7. Kendial Lawrence, RB (5-9 195lbs) Missouri
8. Jakar Hamilton, FS (6-2 205lbs) South Carolina State
9. Ryan Dannewitz, OT (6-5 300lbs) Colorado
10. MarQueis Gray, WR (6-4 250lbs) Minnesota

[Mr. Irrelevant]

... Who do we trade Anquan for?
Other than that a solid draft.....
Offseason we take two players from the Broncos when they will probably franchise one of them...
I like Woods (even though I am a UCLA fanboy), but we would need to use 3WR sets and a slot... Woods is nothing more in my eyes, and we dont have a WR that can be just a reciver outside of Torrey (unless Tandon pans out)

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Keep Ryan btw, he looks to be a solid player if we move him to NT

[ClintLB8]

I do not like Phil Costa at all.. other than that not bad.

[redlobster]

Shawne Merriman is a bust now that he stopped roiding and isn't Tracy Porter suffering seizures and missing time?

CUTS: On board with releasing Kemoeatu, Considine, Williams, Kindle, Johnson & Birk. I believe Williams & McKinnie won't be back. I think we re-sign Kruger, and I see McBean returning because I think he had a big role before that injury. I'm all for trading Boldin for a pick. I'd be happy with a 4th. Lewis only retires if we win the SB, otherwise he will probably be here again.

RE-SIGNS: I agree that Reed, Ellerbe, Flacco get re-signed.

FA: No to Merriman & Porter. They're done. Clady will be too much, and Peyton will make sure he stays. Knox, with a crowded WR corps? I think not. I'd rather draft Woods than do that.

1. A 1st round pick on a WR is a risk. I'd rather not take it, at least not on Woods. I'm honestly not overly impressed with a lot of WRs in this draft. It's a risky subject. Big boom or bust position. I'd rather get a LT, LB (outside or inside), DE, DT, hell, even a safety before a WR.

2. I hate this pick. Not at all a fan. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't like Skov. I'd take Mosley, Brown (with the little I know about him), Jackson before him. I'd take Ogletree here before Skov, and I'm concerned about him at ILB in the NFL.

3. Dude, I don't see us getting a 3rd round comp pick but I wish. With that said, I'd take Carradine here before Rambo. I'm not that impressed with Rambo other than his name at this point. He is a really good player, but I see him more of a SS than a FS which is what we need with Reed. I'd rather take Thomas from Fresno, whom I LOVE, Robert Lester from Alabama, Erid Reid, draft Mathieu and move him to S, etc. over this move. I think we can do better.

3. Yeah, I'd take Tank here if he fell. You'd be stupid not to take him here. I think he'll go higher, but he has a lot of potential. Isn't that what we draft on anyway? I think we could risk a 4th on him. It's risky, because he was shutdown by some good NFL OT talent.

4. Ehhh...I'd much rather have Jenkins than Gooden, but if we can have both why not. Problem is, I'm really reluctant to take a guy like this. He smells of bust. I know it's a 4th, but we can get some nice players in the 4th I'd take over him. Perhaps I eat my words. Maybe he beasts it up as a pass rusher. I just don't think he will. He seems to rely on the speed.

5. He's not a bad prospect, and he's shown good promise. I like him, too. Comes from a good school, played against decent competition. Not sure he goes here, but why not?

5. Yes, I know this guy. He is a decent prospect this late but I really like Slay, too. Between the two, I'd rather have Slay and I think he will be available.

6. I know nothing about him, so I can't judge this pick.

6. I like the idea of taking a TE. We need a TE due to having two starting RFA TEs on the roster. Not sure we can re-sign both in 2014. They will both be here in 2013, but not sure beyond. We may be wise to invest in this position sooner than this late in the draft. Kelce didn't really have great competition in NCAA, so I'm not sure if I trust him. He's a good pick this late, but I feel like we can get talent earlier.

7: Not a fan of taking QBs in this class, and if we do I'd rather it be some UDFA. If anything I'd rather get some FA vet if we really need a back-up. Also, seeing as how the 7th round will have some talent, I'd rather score there then invest in a position we don't really need unless he's some really good talent. Lattimore, Mathieu, they could be here.

I pretty much agree with the roster moves. I`d keep Kruger though, i think hes been useful this season.
Not sure what we could get for Boldin though... Might not be worth it after all.

Love the idea of hiring Kris Richard. We certainly need to revamp our pass D, and I think hirin a specialist would be a good way to start it.

I wouldnt totaly disagree with your draft, but i`ll have some changes here and there.

1. Eric Reid - S - LSU

2. Margus Hunt - DE - SMU

3. Shayne Skov - LB - Stanford (not my favorite lb, but i think he`ll be the top one available here)

4.Rick Wagner - OT - Wisconsin

5.Braxston Cave - C - Notre Dame

6. Thyrann Mathieu - CB (Vontaze Burfict ??)

7. Dri Archer - WR/RB - Kent State

[zhavlovick]

I think we should go this way. Hire Rex Ryan as d coordinator since he should get fired and draft like this

1) trade out of round 1 for a 2nd and 3rd round pick

2) Barret Jones, some have him going in the 1st which is likely but I have him falling
2)Tony Jefferson, he's a good safety for oklahoma and could be very good after learning from ed reed

3)Kapron Lewis Moore, plays all over the d line for Notre Dame and has a good pass rush
3)Kevin Reddick, I think he is a good inside line backer for North Carolina

4) Quinton Patton, he is a very good receiver for LA tech and is gaining recognition and might not be available here

5) Kiko Alonso, is a versatile linebacker for oregon's defense

6) up to this point I'm not sure what to go with. I recommend checking out a guy named jordan campbell on youtube. he looks like he could be a heck of a linebacker

[bravensfan52]

Still need a 3-4 de or NT if u dont have us picking one up in FA

[zhavlovick]

we could go with Dave Kruger out of Utah. he is a relative of Paul Kruger and has some upside to him
