[News] Round 1: Ravens Select LB C.J. Mosley

[dead serious]

 

Please watch that and tell me how this is a bad pick?

 

Honestly my dream was Odell Beckham Jr. or Mike Evans but those dreams were squashed pretty quickly and CJ Mosely is no bad consolation. In fact he's too good to be a consolation prize.

Look you and all the others need to realize Nobody is Putting Mosley down as a Player, He just isnt what the Ravens Needed right now for a 1st round pick. We have ILB's already, spent money and draft picks for them. We NEEDED a SAFETY or OT/OG .. That what the issue is.

[Amesr52]

San Francisco why steal Jimmie Ward from us.

Must be some hostility in the harbaugh family for not allowing them to trade up so they stole our last chance at safety. But there has to be a diamond in the rough safety somewhere in this draft.  Looks like we are going WR or OL with 2nd pick though.

[stone4]

That Mosley pick looks like poo poo, now

now? about 30 plus minutes ago lol

[Jacotic]

Hopefully we can get Morgan Mosses

[verified]

now we have a million linebackers and no safety opposite elam smh ozzies so obsessed with drafting the next ray lewis that its blinded him from drafting a much needed safety. this is outrageous. drafting backups in the first round who does that?? this is sickening

[Orange_Peanut]

Maybe John talks to Jim too much. SF is always stealing from US!!!

[ArsenalRaven666]

Personally with the board as is would have gone for Pryor or traded back with 49ers to draft Moses and gain picks. With ward off the board now no much at safety left .. Reynolds Bailey or Brooks

[aruba1]

wish we had more picks this year, a lot of good players will be available between rounds 2-6

[Orange_Peanut]

JARVIS LANDRY second round!!!

[verified]

don't be upset at the niners we had our chance at any safety we wanted with the 17th pick and we decided to draft a backup linebacker

[ellicottraven]

I guarantee you SF picked Jimmie Ward because John won't shut up about our targets and prospects with his family! The Niners don't have the scouting resources we do, so go figure...

[hen826957]

Jimmie Ward probably was to become a Raven and there goes San Francisco man I hate when teams steal ours draft picks that we really need they stole Jimmie Ward.

[TheConquerorWorm]

oh please... i just gave you my point and logic, now prove what i said was wrong. show me the logic outside of oh the professionals know better than we do logic  .. bc if thats the case theres no reason for us to state our opinions or have such forum. but please explain this move as well as i broke down why is didnt make sense, im sure you can do the same

Let's see. Ozzie said he tried to trade back - no takers. Maybe the "professionals" knew that Pryor is a SS and Dix would be a bust?  You say it's a bad pick but you offer no alternative and think we should draft a player by need. Keep in mind that both Sergio Kindle & Terrence Cody were both "need" picks. So if Dix is a bust, Pryor is a SS and Mosley is a top 10 talent on your board, what do YOU do?

And what do you think our FO does? You think they are not aware of our needs (probably way more than any of us fans)? And you frankly don't think they have a plan? That they don't say "Heck with our needs, who cares that we don't yet have a true RT and FS, we'll see what happens."?

 

Do you really have such low confidence in our FO and coaches? Can't you imagine that they may have their plan working - even if you don't see it?

[RaveninColorado]

Didn't expect that run on FS. Thinking Brooks from FSU is our best option

[ellicottraven]

This draft will come back to haunt us in the long run because we had the pick of safeties in the first but by the end of the round, all draftable safeties gone!!!

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

How many good veteran Safetys and O-lineman are going to be cut before the season even starts? Oz has a great track record of getting good veteran players after they get cut and at great prices.

[ludy51]

What is it with these fans? Before draft: I really like mosley. After draft: I HATE MOSLEY!!!!!!. You guys do realise that if ozzir did not see anything dlse at safety he wouldve grabbed one!

[Jokerraven]

Ozzie you can trade to go back to the 1st round round a make sure we get Jimmie Ward before someone else does.

too late

[verified]

hate this pick. we had a chance at two of the top safeties in the draft and we pick mosley? after we just resigned daryl smith and drafted arthur brown last year? so who's our safety opposite elem gonna be that scrub we picked up from the rams are you serious?? I'm disgusted we have other pressing needs then to pick up a guy whoes not gonna start for a year or two.. why'd we let go of Ihedigbo for? haha, pryor, buccanaon all gone smh simply disgusted

[aruba1]

don't be upset at the niners we had our chance at any safety we wanted with the 17th pick and we decided to draft a backup linebacker

he will start next to darryl and brown will come in one third down as a coverage LB. realize that smith is almost 33 YO chances are he is gone in 2 years due to cap hit and probable decline and ozzie has prepared for that by getting 2 young players. 

[takersplace]

not a bad pick - would rather of had the OT from ND but we lost that coin flip, damn i hate dallas, nevertheless we cant have everybody we wanted - hope we do get a decent safety & Oline help in Rounds 2 & 3. Gnite all.

GO RAVENS!

[jmats]

Another 8-8 season here we come. We did nothing but re-sign players this off-season. We had positions of need that we did not address. These immediate starters are not available in this draft anymore. I am happy we got a third middle line backer though, I sure hope he can cover.

[ManMythMarrone]

Y'all need to calm down... There are 6 rounds left in this draft, you never know who we will end up with. Mosley was by far the best player available at the time, and it was an excellent pick. Were set at ILB for the next 5 years now. Plus there is a lot of offseason left after the draft. You never know who we will add or what will happen. All you people saying this is a terrible pick are horrible fans and what do you know about building football teams? NOTHING! So yeah ima go with Ozzie and his years of experience and success on this one. Sit back a watch what happens. Great pick! Lets go Ravens!

[RavensFootballFan]

That's all folks. Get your beauty sleep. Got more coming tomorrow. Hopefully get a safety to pair with Elam. Good day today. Go Ravens !

[hen826957]

@Jokerraven I know I wrote that comment before Jimmie Ward was Drafted.

[takersplace]

we will be fine

[stone4]

Let's see. Ozzie said he tried to trade back - no takers. Maybe the "professionals" knew that Pryor is a SS and Dix would be a bust? You say it's a bad pick but you offer no alternative and think we should draft a player by need. Keep in mind that both Sergio Kindle & Terrence Cody were both "need" picks. So if Dix is a bust, Pryor is a SS and Mosley is a top 10 talent on your board, what do YOU do?

[RonHugh52]

Art Brown will give us great depth at LB and ST, I'd rather have him coming off the bench if someone got injured then Bynes, plus if he pans out in 3 years he will be in the middle with Mosley when Smith is gone.

[ravensrock89]

Dallas and SF always kill us in the draft, Dallas wins the coin toss and couple years ago move up to the spot ahead of us and take Dez, now sf takes ward and I remember a couple of years ago they took a player we were hoping for with the pick ahead of us , but I cant remember the player of hand. oh well
