[News] Ravens Have Sixth Pick In 2016 NFL Draft

[Crusader]

Tresman doesn't fit in the afc north teams that run the ball. All Marc does is like to pass. Another 56 attempts today. Dan peas is haggis onto a bunch of broken horses

RiseNConquer- Wish I could've given you 21 's. I'm actually surprised at the amount of negative comments about Webb. I can't really add anything that you didn't mention, but for anyone that knows football, it's clear that Webb is extremely valuable, mostly because of his versatility. Smith will be a great corner again next year, but we've rarely seen him in the slot. Law215- I'm not sure why you think 'he's done' and that he can't play the run; Webb is one of the best run defending corners in the league which is another reason that he's great in the slot. The only weakness to his game, which I realize is a big one, is his change of direction ability has declined due to the ACLs. That's going to prevent him from being the great corner he was from 2010-half of 2012, but you don't need top end speed and quickness to be a good safety. I guarantee you Webb right now is much more athletic than Charles Woodson, and Woodson was leading the league in interceptions for much of this year at free safety

Let's hope that the terrible Ravens injury trend of the last 2 seasons doesn't carry over into 2016. If we wind up with 20 guys on IR next season then it really won't matter who the Ravens take with the #6 pick.

[Crusader]

Nice to have a high draft pick but I seriously don't have any trust in this new Ravens team picking talented players anymore and it will take more than one draft to get the level as the AFC playoff teams.

[Kwilliams84]

I think the ravens are going to be right back into the mix next year with the young players stepping up and getting all the veterans and leaders back from ir and also get a number 6 pick. we should draft cb/s Ramsey, cb hargreaves, cbalexander or wr laquon treadwell and get flacco a long term true number 1 wide out

[Crusader]

If Webb was a horse they would have put him down years ago. Nice guy but not a playoff helper type guy and if Jimmy was so good why do teams throw touchdowns against him.

[Raving_Heathen]

"The Ravens have always nailed their top-10 picks"

I agree. Let's just pretend the whole Travis Taylor thing never happened.

[Ravensfansince03]

I hope they get the right players

[RavensDieHard21]

#6? Huh. We need a franchise changing player. Whether it's a LT, S, CB, OLB or defensive lineman, I hope Ozzie nails it.

because we have (had) no D-line, they could hardly get pressure to the QB's during the season

[RavensDieHard21]

I'm no Ozzie but I hope that if we don't land Tunsil, Bosa, Ramsey, or maybe HG3, I hope we can take advantage of any desperate team that wants a QB. There is a lot of talent in the late first through second round that I hope we can take advantage of. It would be sick to get a pass rusher/ CB combo in first and second

[ravens4life86]

6th pick..Get Gamechanger Pass Rusher, WR, DB.

My Preference.. Bosa(Though hes likely not sliding out of top 3).

Jalen Ramsey FS/CB FSU Projected top 5 pick.. so realistically could slide to 6

Pass Rushers...other then Bosa.. Myles Jack OLBr/DE UCLA, Robert Nkumdeche DE Ole Miss

Jalen Smith Lbr ND(D.Smith replacement, Art brown failed experiment)

Option 3) Trade 6th pick back to 12ish range

PIck up another top 50 pick. Draft Treadwell round 1, gamecganging WR take care of that problem.. and go all defense rest of draft

[jdynamite]

Here I was cheering for Dallas ( whom I hate ) to win hoping to clear a path into top 5 pick. Then later on I'm cheering for 49ers thinking since both them and Jaguars beat us we would get the 5th pick.

Didn't expect Strength of Schedule to trump the head to head win the Jags got versus us, as well as the Jaguars have 5 conference wins in the AFC to our 4. That sucks.

[ravens4life86]

Heres my dream draft First 4 rounds.. first takes

Rnd 1 Joey Bosa DE/OLBr(highly unlikely), Jalen Ramsey S/CB, Laquan Treadwell WR

Rnd 2 Jayron Kearse S, Shallique Calhoun DE/OLBR, Desmond King/Tredavius White CBs

Rnd 3 Yannick Ngawke DE/OLBr, Boyd WR Pitt, OT

Rnd 4 Braxton Miller WR Ohio st, Paul Perkins RB

[hen826957]

@RavensDieHard21 that not been working lately and not a good idea. Everytime we move back just to get picks and draft in the later rounds we don't get a player maker and have another Matt Elam draft. This is our opportunity to get a playmaker in the top 10 picks. When our time to pick, pick now don't trade back we need a talent player right away or we will regret it letting other teams get top players in the draft early.

[Grapple Raven]

Not thrilled that San Diego and Dallas are picking in front of us as they have some similar needs, but oh well, it is what it is.  We have got to nail this draft this year.

[Cuse92]

Jacksonville should actually be picking after the Ravens since they beat them head-to-head this year. Oh wait, no they didn't.

[law215]

Ravens have the opportunity to get both a pass rusher and S in the first 2 rounds. I like Ramsey, Shaq Lawson in the first. Kearse, Bush, Calhoun in the second. Ravens have not been in this position to get an top pass rusher so must have someone behind aging Suggs and Dumervil. OT, S, Wr can get later.

[fusuymada]

I can see Ozzie not even picking in the sixth spot. He is more likely to do like he did the year with Flacco and Rice. Trade back from 6 to pick up more picks and end up 12th or 13th, then use those picks to grab a second first rounder in the 16 to 22 range and snag two first rounders instead of putting his eggs in one boom or bust basket. Then he still picks in the 6 spot rounds 2 through 7. We need rush help and secondary help, which go hand in hand. You can get by with a weak secondary (as we did last year) with a good pass rush. The problem with that was we were fooled thinking we were better in the secondary because of that pass rush. Next we need help in that secondary because the rush isn't always going to get there. J Smith is serviceable but what I see with him is he doesn't stay fit in the off season and it takes too long for him to get to speed and he is in game 10 before he hits his peak. I like Lewis and Hill but they aren't good enough. Hopefully, we can snag a top cornerback with a pass rusher in the first and get a safety or more cornerback help in the second round. If Joe renegotiates and leaves us cap space, we can get a #1 FA WR in the off season, sign KO or a good left tackle and use the draft on the defense except for a WR shot somewhere in the middle.

[Crusader]

It's going to take more than one draft to fix this team. Look at the 2016 schedual. I can easly see a 8-8 season

[whobilly]

Crusader is correct regarding the tough schedule for 2016. Gotta get back to Ravens Football and go 6-2 at Home and battle for 4-4 on the road. Granted, at NE, at Jets, plus the division road games will make it tough but the Draft and staying healthy will help us a lot.

[Saxxin]

Sweep the steelers and still get a 6th. Steelers made the playoffs but they won't be winning a SB. Just a lower pick. Pass rusher and cb/s in the first two are our biggest needs at this point. But a lot can happen before the draft. Perriman needs to show up next year. SSS will be back, I had a feeling he would when he got hurt . One more chance to get that ring. Address the defense this time Ozzie. Our offense isn't that bad. We lost 4 or 5 games we should of won but the D didn't hold the lead inside the two minute mark. Its either the players or Pees. Fix it.

[stixfix69]

6th pick....Such foreign territory....

[ellicottraven]

We'll nail it. DE, OLB, CB or OT. A marquee talent will be available.

[EliteRavens]

If Jalen Ramsey is there when we pick.. Take Him!!

[rmcjacket23]

How about listing all the picks that Oz hasnt got right....

Define "got right"?

 

You'd be surprised how many fans think that if you don't make the Pro Bowl (a popularity contest) that it's a bad pick.

[Militant X 1]

So, we have the #6 spot in the draft...cool!  But, that doesn't mean jack if we can't hit the home run with the selection to fill our needs.  Who are the "serious" prospects out there for each position of need that we have?  I'm researching myself now....

[bozo]

why is Jacksonville at 5 and us at 6 in the draft when were both 5-11 and this beat us this year.

[bozo]

another reem job by the nfl

[bozo]

the better sign tucker, and reduce joe's contract, to make room for free agency players especially in the secondary.
