Is Joey Bosa Doomed?

I forget at the combine do DL players get to do drills that LBs do?  Love to see Bosa going through LB drills.

Yes. When coaches want to see those DL they think could be LBs. Bosa will certainly be put in pass coverage drills

Np. I don't think he'll do very well in those drills. In fact I don't expect him to have a overly strong combine performance. I don't think what he does well can be displayed in combine drills. 

He'll probably drop down to the 6-10 range because people won't see him as a freakishly gifted athlete. I think he'll be there if Ozzie wants him.

Well thats just not true

How many years do you think that power rush will last ? He will be worn out after 14th games .

I'm sure people said the same about guys like strahan, allen, dumervil, harrison, etc etc. Do you really think that there are no successful power rushers in the NFL? Not only that, but a power guy like bosa is much more viable against the run than a Vic Beasley or Shane Ray speed rusher type. You seriously can't discount an elite prospect because you think they'll get tired because they're powerful players...

I can't see us passing on Bosa for most prospects. Even if you don't think he's a great fit, he's a quality pass rusher with the strength to be a dominant run defender. That sounds like an Ozzie pick. That said, Ramsey is a guy I think we'll covet over him. I see Tunsil as tops on our board, but then again, I see the same for other teams' boards as well.

Following the forums of the teams ahead of us in the order, it's all "If Bosa falls we can't pass him up", so sadly it's not just us Ravens fans thinking what you just said.

i think ozzie really wants ramsey, i really have to question that if both were somehow available, if ozzie would take ramsey, i almost wanna say he would.

With the 6th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft the Baltimore Ravens select...Joey Bosa, DE Ohio State. If he's there let's take him. A lot of talent to work with and if properly groomed, he could be one beastly OLB. High motor players are always sought after, but I'd be happy with Buckner too.

I think a lot can be taken from not only the words people say but also how they say them. I just watched the end of season presser and the way Ozzie spoke about having a guy on the back end with range, ball skills and play making ability would lead me to believe Ramsay is his guy. Webb to safety is a good band-aid but Ramsey would take this defense to the next level. Put him at CB the 1st year or two and continue to build the secondary around him and Jimmy. 

Listening to Biscotti talk about the impact of Suggs and how his impact is irreplaceable, I think a guy like Bosa would be the guy he bangs the table for. Bosa isn't Sizzle(who is?) but he's the closest prospect to Suggs and what the Ravens wanna do I've seen in some time coming into the NFL. Knowing that we'll probably lose Suggs after this year, makes me feel a guy like Bosa is better suited then a pure speed rusher. 

I think both guys are a home run and it'll be fun following these guys knowing the Ravens actually have a legit shot to select them.

@Ravensfan23 I'd be happy with either Bosa or Ramsey.  Both are two of my top players in the draft.  Bosa gives us the ability to rush the passer inside and out.  Next year you could have him play more 3-4 DE, with edge while giving Suggs a rest.  Ramsey, on the other hand, gives our defense great range and versatility.  Both have high motors, both would be elite players on our defense for a very long time.  Hopefully one of these guys is available, when the Ravens are on the clock at the end of April.

As much as everybody gets upset when people compare Joey Bosa to J.J. Watt, I think they can do the same thing as far as alignment goes (not talent or athleticism necessarily). In a 4-3, its easy to put Bosa as a strong-side DE, he would excel there and be a consistently good performer. In a 3-4 he would need to be moved around more. I wouldn't put him as a stand up edge rusher (and I do not think that most people would either), but since most 3-4 defenses routinely do use 4 man fronts he could line up essentially as a 4-3 end in a 4 man front. I think that in a 3-4 base set Bosa best fits as a 5-technique or even 3-technique end. He is good at a lot of things and would certainly make an impact. As much as a lot of people are saying he is not a great fit for a 3-4, I would argue that he is not a traditional fit as a 3-4 outside linebacker or 3-4 defensive end, he could still make an impact and would not need taken off the field.
