[Round One]
Matt Elam, S, Florida.
I am now sold on Elam. I believe he is the best safety in this draft. He's stout against the run, can play man cover and his ball hawking skills will only improve. Reed is hurt and Elam is the closest thing we have this year to finding someone to fill the void. Elam plays like a Raven and is our pick.

[Round Two]
Oday Aboushi, T, Virginia.
Flacco has eaten enough turf, it's time we optimize our offensive line. I think there's a good chance we'll have to get a tackle early on once again in 2014 to replace Oher as well. Aboushi will provide the time Flacco needs to get the ball into the receivers hands. Our line will be:
Aboushi-Osmele-Gradkowski-Yanda-Oher

[Round Three]
Andrew Jackson, ILB, Western Kentucky.
Plays physical and wants to crush ball carriers, exactly what we need. Ray is departing our team and we need fire to replace fire. I feel like our FO will go ahead with Ellerbe and McClain, which would be a mistake. Ellerbe is a fine LB but McClain is overrated. Ellerbe and Jackson will shore up the middle and do a fine job.
Arthur Brown, ILB, Kansas State Univeristy.
Has great fundamentals for the positions and isn't really lacking in any phase of the game that would force us to not draft him here. Will join the ranks of very young and very good inside line backers. Fills a position of need and will lift our defense.

[Round Four]
Quinton Patton, WR, Lousiana Tech.
An underrated receiver. He is tall, uses his size well and has good speed. He is a solid prospect and will be a complement to Torrey.

[Round Four: Compensatory]
Brandon Williams, NT, Southern Missouri.
Our NT play this season has been terrible. An upgrade goes without saying. The defence will start with Williams and everyone will benefit. He is a much better version of Cody; fit and plays with heart.

[Round Five]
Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi State.
A man-to-man corner. We could do with the depth and I believe DBs make good special team players. In the years to come we will need corners.

[Round Five: Compensatory]
Michael Williams, TE, Alabama.
The best blocking tight end in college who will be a good complement to Pitta. He will learn to become a better receiver while mauling in the run game.

[Round Six]
Blaize Foltz, G, TCU.
With a lot of our interior lineman moving on, it's imperative we find some depth. Foltz is a solid blocker in both the pass and run game.

[Round Seven]
Corey Broomfield, CB, MSU.
Another depth player, can also play man-to-man.

99% sure that Andrew Jackson is returning to school, other than that I really like it.

He was listed as returning on Walterfootball.

Blast it. I should have checked. I'd like Arthur Brown there but I don't see him getting past the early third. Maybe using our fifth to move up from our third.

[Sizzlebshu]

I don't like your first 3 picks because I dont believe any of them will be there when we pick.

I honestly think Matt Elam is going to end up on the Cowboys or the Rams in the first. Cowboys definitely need safety help so it wouldnt surprise me if Jones pulled the same thing he did with Morris Claiborne and traded up to make sure he gets him.

Oday so long as he doesnt do anything to drop his stock should go in the early second, my guess is the Cardinal. Hopefully they are done with Levi Brown now.

Arthur Brown i'm not so sure falls to us. Can't put a finger on who would take him earlier tho because it depends on who addresses what need when ie the giants need an ilb but if they take Teo in the first then they obv wont take brown.

If we get them, that would be phenomenal, but I just dont see us getting all 3. Maybe 1, but not all 3.

It is wishful thinking.

[ravefan52]

Mostly same players as my mock. Pretty good, but no way Brown gets past the second.

[Ngata Chance]

If we got these players in these rounds, I would poop a solid gold brick.

[arnie_uk]

No way Arthur brown is there in the third. On talent anyway. People may hold his size against him. But he should be in the second at least

As you can see I had Jackson there. Found out he's returning to school. So I put Brown there without much thought. I'm starting to think the same. My Draft might have to be:
1. Elam
2. Brown
3. Wagner or Long.

I think Brown is the best value ILB in the draft at this stage. There are some quality run stuffers in the later rounds but we've tried that before with Jason Phillips.

I like Wagner and Long, but I think Long would be the better pro

I like Long because I think he could be had in the 4th or late 3rd.

I like our chances of landing a 3rd round OT or 2nd round OT. Some good talent here.

[pitchblack_20]

No one ever mentions Robert Alford. I've heard lots of good things about him.

[dirtybird10]

If our draft turned out this way, I would be very happy. Brown in the end of the third seems like a stretch but hey why not. My only thought on those who have us drafting Oday Aboushi is what makes you think he will solidify our line at LT. I have not seen him play, I don't think I saw him at all. However, I do know that quality LT's are not available in the second round, especially where we will be picking. Not unless he has severe character issues, like when Mike Adams fell.

[Miami Hurricane]

Thats because he's a CB which most people don't consider a huge need at the moment but he looks good from the little I've seen on him.
