Means nothing and there are a fair amount of reaches such as the Chargers, Dolphins, Giants, Bears, etc... all passing on them despite needing a LT

I see us picking up oday early 3rd many drafts have him falling that far

[indianstick]

lol other than lane johnson this would be an awful draft for us. With the people he has on the board when we pick I can come up with a WAY better draft. (They didn't take compensatory picks into account so I won't do them either)

First round- Lane johnson OU-OT 6'6 300

Second round- Khaseem Greene RU-LB 6'1 236

Third round- Chase Thomas OLB/DE Stanford-6'3 240

Fourth round- Adrian Bushell CB/S Louisville- 5'11 190

Fifth round- Joe Kruger DE/DT Utah- 6'6 280

Sixth round- Marques Wilson WR Washington St- 6'2 188

Seventh round- Travis Kelce TE Cincinnati- 6'5 260

These 4 defenders from rounds 2-5 could really fill a lot of holes, and groom into stars. Khaseem greene is a playmaker who is great in coverage. Chase thomas is a beast with pass rushing ability who can also set the edge on the run. Adrian Bushell is a cover corner who has great tackling ability, and watching his tape it seems like he could play safety as well. Joe kruger is the younger bro of paul and he is a big DE, who will fit nicely in the 3-4 once he learns how to play the run but in the meantime he will be a great pass rusher.

Theres no way a 6'5 260 TE who caught 45 balls for 700 yards and 8 tds will be mr. irrelevant but I'll take it.

I would love if the ravens have this draft. it is a lot better than the one on drafttek

If we land Lane Johnson at #32 overall, I will eat my shorts.

[BloodRaven]

I'm ok with Johnson, he's not as refined as Joekel but he's got all the tools.

[ravensfan160]

There is no doubt in my mind that LT is our biggest need for the simple reason that one player improves 3 positions. I also doubt McKinnie will be back although stranger things have happened. Unfortunately, I also doubt one of the top 3 guys lasts anywhere near striking distance to us.

[gabefergy]

I like picks 1,6, and 7 in that mock!! Kelce could legitimately go in round 2 or 3.

[BloodRaven]

The value of the LT position is dropping, defenses are moving pass rushers around to the left side to cause matchup issues in pass pro. This is why there are just as many interior linemen as tackles projected for the first round and why one could fall to us.

I dont think LT has lost value, but the RT has become even more important as a pass-pro position. Teams cant get away with just having a road-grader type on the right side anymore. Both have to be proficient in pass-protection.

You could say the same for interior linemen nowadays, defenses are forcing mismatches wherever they can.

Agreed. I've been saying for a while that having a solid interior line is paramount. Thats why guys like Warmack and Cooper will likely go top 10-15.

[GrimCoconut]

I still say Johnson is a 2nd round pick who will go in the 1st round due to a demand for LTs, but I can see him go in the 2nd where he belongs. He's still a little raw. If teams were smart, they would take Warmack before LJ, possibly even Jones. They're pretty good athletes in all honesty and I think they are more NFL-ready than LJ in his 1st year.
