Umm not a bad mock, but I think you have the Ravens picking at the wrong spot.

I don't want to jinx it or anything lol so I put them at 31 as a cautionary step lol.

[GrimCoconut]

I would do backflips if this was the first three rounds of our draft. I love Minter. I think he has elite instincts and is very good in coverage and against the run. Love it.

I couldn't decide between Rambo and Robert Lester but I think he'll be the better player in the NFL as well. I figured in two things for these picks, Ray's retirement and the impending retirement of Ed Reed after we win it all and he'll join Ray in retirement. McKinnie I can see staying on for another year at LT but we draft Oday as competition to see if that motivates him to stay in shape during the off-season and see if he is able to hold off the rookie for the Left Tackle job.

Also for the Seahawks pick, I just looked at mock drafts and picked a guy who was rated a second and third rounder and slotted him in the first to Seattle since Petey likes to over reach for players in the first round.(James Carpenter and Bruce Irvin)

• Kansas City Chiefs- Luke Joeckel OT Texas A & M
  
• Jacksonville Jaguars- Jarvis Jones DE, Georgia He could go this high, but I think Jax would take a true 4-3 DE like Moore or Werner ahead of a LB that has health risks.
  
• Oakland Raiders- Star Lotulelei NT Utah
  
• Philadelphia Eagles- Geno Smith QB West Virginia Smith is not really a fit for Chip Kelly's offense.
  
• Detroit Lions- Damontre Moore DE Texas A & M
  
• Cleveland Browns- Bjoern Werner DE Florida State
  
• Arizona Cardinals- Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU I cant imagine they would pass on Fisher considering their need at OT.
  
• Buffalo Bills- Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan Bills dont need an OT, they need a QB/WR/MLB.
  
• New York Jets- DeMarcus Milliner CB Alabama Jets have two stud CBs, why take another?
  
• Tennessee Titans- Chance Warmack G Alabama
  
• San Diego Chargers- Johnathon Hankins NT Ohio State SD needs help on OL much more than DL.
  
• Miami Dolphins- Johnathon Banks CB Miss. State
  
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
  
• Carolina Panthers- Dion Jordan DE Oregon Carolina had one of the best pass-rush tandems in the league with Johnson and Hardy.
  
• New Orleans Saints- Sam Montgomery DE LSU
  
• St. Louis Rams- Kenny Vaccaro S Texas
  
• Pittsburgh Steelers- John Jenkins NT Georgia
  
• Dallas Cowboys- Barrett Jones C Alabama
  
• New York Giants- Jonathon Cooper G North Carolina

• Minnesota Vikings- Keenan Allen WR California
  
• Indianapolis Colts- Ezekiel Ansah OLB BYU

• New England Patriots- Xavier Rhodes CB Florida State
  
• Atlanta Falcons- Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
  
• Baltimore Ravens- Kevin Minter ILB LSU
  
• San Francisco 49ers- Tony Jefferson S Oklahoma Not a first rounder IMO

Ravens 2nd - 3rd Rounds:

2nd Round: Oday Aboushi OT Virginia

3rd Round: Bacarri Rambo S Georgia:

I can't really be too critical of a mock draft because I know how hard it is, but I put my thoughts next to some of your choices that struck me as odd.

I like the Minter pick a lot. Aboushi in the second seems like a solid choice although I am not sold on him. Rambo is another solid value in the third.

[codizzle]

This draft class is weak? I've heard nothing but how deep this drft is and how many NFL starting caliber players there are

On Jarvis Jones, that is true but remember the Broncos took Von Miller, a player that everyone said would only work out as a 3-4 OLB at the # 2 spot and Jarvis reminds me of Miller in many ways. Smith at 4 was just BPA for me so I slotted him to the Eagles based on the fact they would take him at 4 as BPA.I could have sworn Revis was a Free Agent which was why I slotted Milliner to the Jets.

That's true about the Panthers but the Giants also already had a great pass rush but that didn't stop them from taking JPP. Greg Jennings is a Free Agent and I don't see Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Randal Cobb as number one guys so the Packers go out and get another receiver who I feel is a number one receiver for Rodgers. Jefferson I think could work his way into the first after the combine and the pro days which is why I slotted him at the very end of the first round.

Not sure I agree with this. The Packers are VERY high on Cobb.

I dont think Jones is anywhere close to the player Miller is or was coming out. Smith I wouldnt have rated quite that high, but it makes some sense considering they have a hole at that position. Revis isnt a Free Agent until 2017 I think.

As for the Packers they seemed to do just fine this year without Jennings. Cobb is a stud IMO, and Nelson is a great WR when healthy as well.

[Ravens<3]

Good mock.. I agree with dizzle though, I think this is a really strong draft class.

Theres a few picks I don't agree with like, Eagles,Rams drafting WR in first, 49ers (ESPECIALLY THEIR SPOT),Broncos drafting DT again, and Chargers not drafting OL.

I can see the Jets drafting Milliner though, I think it makes sense too. Cro is overrated imo, and you can't have enough CBs.

It would kill me to see THE Texans draft Williams. I can see it happening though, either them or Steelers.

I like our picks though. Osemele & Abushi will be the future 2nd round stars on our oline! There names just belong near each other.


Also, the Packers will NOT draft a WR in the first round. That I'm positive of. Cobb,Jones,Nelson are the best 3 combo in the league imo. They NEED help on defense and especially the oline.

Two ILBs back to back in high rounds? Why? Just curious.

Why are we 31st?

You have no faith that we're going to win?

Reserving this post to criticize Jo's placement of our team and...oh yea his mock but really to criticize his placement of our team in the picking order.

[Sizzlebshu]

I worked hard on this mock for a while, this draft class to me is so weak that it was so hard to slot the players in the first round. So this is my first round mock with a Ravens Mock in the second through third rounds.

• Kansas City Chiefs- Luke Joeckel OT Texas A & M - Fine he is the best talent on the board, but I have argued with Gabe about why I dont like him going here and Andy Reid's new regime really makes me think it will be Geno going first overall.
  
• Jacksonville Jaguars- Jarvis Jones DE/LB Georgia - Wouldnt surprise me if Star went here but I think this is the better choice.
  
• Oakland Raiders- Star Lotulelei NT Utah - good fit
  
• Philadelphia Eagles- Geno Smith QB West Virginia - Think they are gonna role with foles and build around him until a better QB class comes along.
  
• Detroit Lions- Damontre Moore DE Texas A & M - I think Dee Millner goes here. As many needs as the lions have, they have to be able to win shootouts and to do that, they need a secondary that can stop the opposing aerial attacks of GB and Chi
  
• Cleveland Browns- Bjoern Werner DE Florida State- Good pick, I love the German one.
  
• Arizona Cardinals- Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU - No way this happens. Mingo's array of moves has some questions to begin with and the cardinals desperately need o-line help. Honestly, I could see Fischer or Warmack going here. They arent sexy picks, but that o-line needs desperate help.
  
• Buffalo Bills- Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan - I think the Bills go linebacker here. Wouldnt be surprised if this is where Manti went despite everything. I could also see WR but given the depth, they could get one in the second round with their pick. I think the Bills are all but assured a qb in the first two rounds tho given what Nix said.
  
• New York Jets- DeMarcus Milliner CB Alabama - Jets have too many holes to take a CB here
  
• Tennessee Titans- Chance Warmack G Alabama - Good selection here as Steve Hutchinson clearly didnt work out, but the Titans are going to go defense and hope that the o-line will stay healthy and get it together this year.
  
• San Diego Chargers- Johnathon Hankins NT Ohio State - Not a bad choice, but they also need o line help. Their D is actually surprisingly effective.
  
• Miami Dolphins- Johnathon Banks CB Miss. State - After trading away, Vontae Davis, I can't see Miami taking a corner here. They clearly liked the guys they had imho. They need too much help offensively given they have to replace a LT and find WR help the developed breasts of Ryan Tannehill's wife....I mean Tannehill
  
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri - Tampa hitting the secondary is like Darnell Dockett after seeing Miss Alabama. They gonna hit that.
  
• Carolina Panthers- Dion Jordan DE Oregon - A decent pick, but again WR, and DT would probably be better slotted here.
  
• New Orleans Saints- Sam Montgomery DE LSU - No problems with this one
  
• St. Louis Rams- Kenny Vaccaro S Texas - No problem with this one
  
• Pittsburgh Steelers- John Jenkins NT Georgia - good selection given their interest in Dontari Poe last year
  
• Dallas Cowboys- Barrett Jones C Alabama - Doubtful given how Jerry Jones is,
  
• New York Giants- Jonathon Cooper G North Carolina - I don't think so. At this point I think they take Teo (if he's still there) or more likely Ziggy Ansah. They developed JPP and they need a replacement for Osi. While I thought about Minter or Ogletree here, I feel that neither one is what they look for in a nfl ready prospect. They would take Ogletree though given their penchant for developing players.
  
• Chicago Bears- Alec Ogletree ILB Georgia - Urlacher replacement? Trestman said that he was gonna get Cutler help on the o-line so thats where I think they go here.
  
• Cincinnati Bengals- Matt Elam S Florida - No problems with this pick other than maybe the Bengals go wide receiver to find a guy to compliment AJ Green but given they have some young guys to develop this is probably their best option. Depends on how much they trust their O vs how much they trust their D.
  
• St. Louis Rams(via WAS)- Cordarrelle Patterson WR Tennessee - Nope. This would be giving up on Brian Qucik way to quickly (pun). They will likely retain Amendola given cap conditions established by the CBA.
  
• Minnesota Vikings- Keenan Allen WR California - quality pick, but I wonder if they wont continue to hit their D. FWIW I think that passing game gets much better with the return of Harvin. They do need to find a guy opposite him tho.
  
• Indianapolis Colts- Ezekiel Ansah OLB BYU - I dont like the colts taking such a raw player. They arent exactly known for developing raw talent on defense. I think they go o-line personally. Andrew Luck will be a short investment if he continues getting hit like he is.
  
• Seattle Seahawks- Sharrif Floyd DT Florida - Not a bad choice here, but I'm waiting to here on Clemons before anything.
  
• Green Bay Packers- Justin Hunter WR Tennessee - O-line or defense here. Rodgers doesn't need more weapons, he needs a running game and protection
  
• Houston Texans- Jesse Williams NT Alabama - I think a safety is a strong possibility here. I also would like to see another corner that isn't the liability Kareem Jackson is opposite JJ . Linebacker and D-line is alright imo. They could also go WR here as they are desperate for a guy to take pressure off of the aging AJ.
  
• Denver Broncos- Kawann Short DT Purdue - Good pick, but again secondary could use some help. Champ Bailey is aging and Porter isn't exactly a shutdown corner. Their pass rush really covers up a lot of coverage weaknesses.
  
• New England Patriots- Xavier Rhodes CB Florida State - I want to agree with this, but the combo of Talib and Dennard was actually pretty potent. Maybe a safety here instead? The only other thing I can think about with this pats D is hitting the d line again but with Wilfork and Chandler Jones you should be good there.
  
• Atlanta Falcons- Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame - Not exactly a replacement for Gonzales but a good pick.
  
• Baltimore Ravens- Kevin Minter ILB LSU - wrong selection. WRONG WRONG WRONG. On a serious note, I dont like the pick. Minter is a good player and one we could take at 32, but like I said I dont like using our most important pick on a position that has relatively low impact and production that can be found in much later rounds.
  
• San Francisco 49ers- Tony Jefferson S Oklahoma - Wrong pick, but Im seeing D-line here, to give Justin Smith even more help. Offensively they are set everywhere except WR2, but they took a receiver last year in the first they cant give up on just yet.

Ravens 2nd - 3rd Rounds:

2nd Round: Oday Aboushi OT Virginia - fine, but im not sure of his ability to be a LT in the nfl. Up in the air at this point.

3rd Round: Bacarri Rambo S Georgia - You just wanted a guy named Rambo on the team didn't you JO?
