Possible 2nd round WRs - who would we choose?

[JoeyFlex5]

Tyler Boyd, 6'2" 185, Pitt., most polished in the class, stellar routes, smooth and fluid, great hands, pro ready. he already had a DUI arrest and scouts have been souring on him due to a lack of eye popping speed and explosion, still is the best wr in the class according to many. 

 

Josh Doctson, 6'4" 190, TCU. wingspan prospect, big guy, respectable speed for his size but not a burner, great hands, decent routes for his size, highest ceiling in the class. a relatively serious injury will cause his stock to take a hit, how big of a hit remains to be seen, he was widely seen as a mid-late first, but if the injuries to nearly all of the first round wr's from 2015 scare off some teams, then he can be had by us in the 2nd. 

 

Corey Coleman, 5'10" 190, Baylor. runs wild in a route limited spread, short and stocky, plays like hes 6'2", dependable hands, scrappy and feisty, good speed, has the attributes that suggests he can be an elite route runner, but he needs coaching for sure as he hasnt shown it on film(not his fault, but the system) 

 

anyone else youd like to add, go ahead. 

 

if all 3 of these guys were somehow on the board when we are on the clock for our 2nd pick, then its hard to envision a scenario where we dont pick one. who do you think the ravens would prefer out of the 3?

I fear that Boyd will be gone late round 1.

[RaineV1]

I'm going with Boyd. The Ravens haven't had a great route runner with amazing hands since Mason. Plus, I think he'd be the best compliment to Perriman and Givens next year.

[Dubs]

My dream round 2 guy is Michael Thomas--like his physicality and all around game, good run blocker and I think could develop into a potential no.1

any of these guys could be gone late round 1, but then again all 3 of them could still be there. boyd is being very often projected as an early-mid 2nd rounder while treadwell and doctson are getting first round projections. 

 

even michael thomas has been projected in the first round more than boyd as of late

[JoeyFlex5]

But, is he Tyler Boyd?

he is not. 

 

im personally not big on michael thomas, i see him in the same way i see demarcus robinson, when i watch him i just kinda feel 'meh', he looks alright but i just cant really see anything special. boyd looks special, he reminds me a little bit of keenan allen who i was a HUGE fan of coming out.

I don't think so. I think Coleman, Treadwell, Thomas and Doctson will be looked at as better prospects. None of these WRs are looked at as elite talent. I honestly don't see why any of them would go into the top 10.

Maybe I'm just high off recent video, but man, Ogbah is really talented and he reminds me of Mack to Bosa's Clowney. Not saying that Bosa isn't a good prospect (I didn't like Clowney, but I do like Bosa) but more or less making the comparison that I think Ogbah could be a surprisingly gifted pass rusher that's somewhat overlooked due to one player's (Bosa) dominance at that position and being hyped up as the consensus top guy. 

 

I wouldn't mind us drafting Ogbah with our first pick & getting Boyd with our second pick. It wouldn't solve CB but man would it set up this team for some success.

i like ogbah just as much but if we took him with our top pick we would be missing out on some serious talent. trade back target though? yes please, if we could rack up a kings ransom for a trade back and nab ogbah, and then get boyd in the 2nd, and have another 2nd rounder and an extra first next year id be doing backflips, but taking ogbah top 10, maybe even top 5, is a reach. 

 

also, i prefer the idea of stacking up on one side of the ball in this draft, like getting a db first and a pass rusher in the 2nd, or getting nkemdiche in the first and trading up for ogbah and just overloading at one weak spot, or taking one of the top OT's and then a guy like boyd in the 2nd would be a great move for us.

I feel like Ogbah is a first round prospect in any draft. That's how good he is. I really wouldn't mind if we traded back for him. If we are drafting in the top five then I'm not a huge fan of it but man, you're right on the money about Ogbah, he's really good. 

[PurpleCity5]

I feel like the 2nd round is the sweet spot for a WR. If we're to take a WR early I feel that it would be in the 2nd round. This draft class isn't deep at WR, I'm not too impressed by some later talent. Personally I feel WR is the worst positional group on the roster, and I wouldn't be shocked if we went as early as the 2nd round to select one. 

 

 

I'd take Josh Doctson simply because he's the better receiver. IMO it's not about "fit" in this case but rather who is better, and I just think Docston is the better receiver. He has the skill set to become a really good WR and I don't know why he doesn't get the hype others get. Not only that but we're talking about a guy who's viewed as round 1 talent, that falls into the 2nd round, I would be thrilled with that.

You should add Mike Williams to this list. That'd be my guy.

You find a way to talk about Bosa/Ogbah in every thread

[rmw10]

Rumor today is that he's returning to school.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Clemson seems to be a WR factory. I would have no issues with Mike Williams

[ravefan52]

Hmmm dang. Makes sense for him though after the injury.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

That being said. I think the first three off the board to go are Coleman, Treadwell, and Doctson. I think that they're the prospects with the highest ceilings.... Which is what GM's draft for. Boyd has a medium ceiling but a high floor. Best he'll probably be is a lower tier number one(think Keenan Allen... Very good WR but not elite. Probably his ceiling). Which would be fine be me. Mike Williams looks as such too based off of what I've seen. I'd rather have Boyd but would be happy with either.

[CalvinSmoke]

I confused Boyd with Will Fuller... smh, is Fuller coming out this year?

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Nope. Still like Boyd more. He's just so safe as a prospect.

idk how Keenan Allen didn't step into elite territory this year my friend.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Here's how...

Guys I would take over Keenan Allen right now

Megatron(yes, even though he is declining. He's still superior to most of the WRs in the NFL)

Odell Beckham Jr

Alshon Jeffery

Brandon Marshall

Larry Fitzgerald

Antonio Brown

AJ Green

Julio Jones

D.Thomas

Dez Bryant

No particular order. Those are the clear cut elites in my opinion.

Then you have your #1 WRs who are good but not there(some of them yet... They will get there)

Jeremy Maclin

Amari Cooper(even with the drops)

Sammy Watkins

Randall Cobb

Jordy Nelson(both of the above are #1s but Rodgers makes both a ton better....

Then I'd have Keenan Allen.

And if that's the ceiling Boyd has, with his floor being a damn good #2. Then I really want him.

[Maryland]

I can't believe how far Boyd has fallen in the minds of the general public and draft pundits. He still seems like he is the #1 or #2 best WR in a weak class. Would be a great compliment to Perriman. Hope it happens.

[Wildabeast88]

I would be happy with any probably prefer Doctson but like Thomas as well. I think Treadwell is a lock in the 1st after that all the others are pretty close. Probably Coleman is my least favorite Baylor WRs other than Josh Gordon have not been so good

[-Truth-]

I'd roll with Coleman, but it's difficult to cast the vote as I feel that he might sneak into the 1st.

[January J]

What's up with that kid mccaffrey? Or will he not be eligible?

[Mt. Crushmore]

I'd roll with Coleman, but it's difficult to cast the vote as I feel that he might sneak into the 1st.

 

I could see all 3 of these WRs going in the 1st

I see Allen as more than just a No.2 WR. I also wouldn't take Watkins over him at this very moment. The QB issues have held him back some, and the tools are clearly there. I don't believe that he's proven to be a No.1 receiver at the NFL level to this point.

I see Allen as a number one, albeit a lower level one. Which is honestly fine. He's still a number one lol.

I think Watkins is serverly held back by his QB play. If you were to give them the same QB, I think Watkins would make more plays. Just an opinion though. They're kind of neck and neck.
