Only pre-combine mock draft

[RavensDieHard21]

Hello fellow Raven fans, as we all know, the draft is approaching and there will be a lot of speculation on where players will go after the combine happens, but from where I see it now, this is how I think the first rd goes and potential players available in the second and third. (with some trade speculation) 

1.) Tenn- Tunsil / they need to protect their franchise QB Tunsil is an immediate need.

2.) Clev- Goff / I want to say the Browns will go BPA, but realistically they will continue to be the browns lol

3.) SD- Stanley / Rivers in recent years has taken a beating and Stanley helps address that pressing issue.

4.) DAL- Treadwell / If Hardy leaves, this pick could very well be Bosa or Buckner, but Jerry loves the idea of Romo having weapons so....

5.) JAC- Ramsey / Their secondary was god awful and Ramsey is a game changer to help get Bortles the ball more often

6.) BAL- Bosa* / I really think he will slide like Williams did last year. I also think that between his motor, technique, and football IQ, he will excel if he is groomed well under Suggs and Pees finds ways to get him in 1 on 1 situations. He could very well be our next edge rusher after Sizzle, but how he adapts to our scheme would tell. 

7.) SF- Wentz / CHip doesn't know what defense is and he will need a new QB so this is how he will address that.

8.) MIA- Buckner / I know Suh is getting all that money, but with Buckner being BPA, he would make Suh's job a whole lot easier with a 6-7 monster there. 

9) TB- HG3 / They desperately need a corner and it has been no secret that they covet the Florida boy. 

10.) NYG- Lawson / This one is tricky, they could go secondary or another DE or DT, it will depend on combine numbers mark my words. 

11) CHI- Jack / I was thinking possibly Floyd, but Jack is too well-rounded and athletic to pass at this point. 

12.) NO- Alexander / Their secondary is so bad that they will be glad to take a player with a high-ceiling to limit passing plays against them. 

13.) PHI- Lynch / Bradford was subpar at best playing this year and with two QBs off the table, Philly will feel the pressure

14.) Oak- A'Shawn Robinson / I think they will continue to build up their defense, they could go billings or secondary, but battles start in the trenches. 

15.) LA- Boyd / If Jenkins leaves, they will take Apple, but the Rams need WRs and at this point they can get a QB in rd 2. They are our best option to trade back with.

16.) DET- Nkemdiche / He is just a Detroit kind of pick and this could change with Megatron retiring. 

17.) ATL- Smith / at this point, his potential outshines Ragland's, therefore, ATL doubles down on getting a top prospect

18.) IND- Elliot / Colts running game has been bad for some time and Gore might be losing to father time. This pick might be Conklin if they don't address OL. 

19.) Buff- Ogbah  ( Maybe Floyd) / Rex will see his potential and being in a 3-4 system will help him move on from M. Williams. 

20.) NYJ- Coleman / Defense is stout and loaded with talent, Coleman gives the offense another playmaker to seek balance.

21.) WASH- Reed/ Helps give flexibility on Dl and BPA.

22.) HOU- Decker / BPA that infuses youth into the OL, but a skill position WR or RB is still in the cards, possibly a Ragland on defense.

23.) MIN- Thomas / It might be a reach, but I think their defense looks pretty darn good and they want to surround teddy with talent. 

24.) CIN- Lee / With that knucklehead on their team always getting into trouble, Lee is a nice backup plan at LB. 

25.) Pitt- Apple / Pitt is desperate for a secondary help, primarily because ther unit wasn't able to hold up against big plays all year, they need to get a cover corner.

26.) SEA- Dodd / they will continue to inject young talent into that defense and they need another rusher to help Bennett. 

27.) GB- Floyd/ GB needs another legit pass rusher with Clay playing mostly ILB now, Floyd should help.

28.) KC-  Rankins / too valuable to pass up at this point. Will help occupy space up front and take some pressure off of Houston and Hali

29.) ARZ- Spence / Their depth in the secondary is great, but they are missing a pass rusher/ interior force to help Campbell & co. 

30.) DEN- Kelly or Henry/ Offensive line is a major need, especially interior lineman and Davis and Daniels are knocking on the door of retirement at the TE position. 

31.) CAR-Cravens or Fuller/ They are a great scheme team, but their other corners opposite Norman are not entirely dependable or going to be with team next year.

 

In RD2 and 3 I pray we nab a tumbling talent or we trade back in, potentially trading out of 6, but from my mock here, Cravens, Billings, Fuller, Oakmen, Wright, Calhoun, Josh Perry, Doctson, Shepard. I hope we nab a combo of edge rusher and corner early, then WR and maybe LB or DE in 3 through 4. May the force be with us and Ozzie on draft day,

Like the idea of bosa falling to us- but You've got several guys way too early.

Williams slipped, because 2 Heisman trophy winning QB and Amari Cooper were picked ahead of him. I really like Treadwell, but he's not a sure thing like Cooper and he's not gonna get picked ahead of Bosa. Neither will Stanley. We have a good chance to pick either one of them. Odd, how much people don't want the Ravens to pick Stanley, but everyone seems eager to mock them to teams ahead of us.

I just don't see Tennessee taking another OT after they took Lewan 2 years ago, who's starting at LT. 

Wentz's stock is rising after his Sr Bowl performance and he quite likely may be the 2nd QB selected before our 6th pick. 

That would help us tremendously.

Per PFF Titans O-line 26th in the league it could happen I would get some weapons for Mariota but he needs to be upright

I agree, but it is tough because every year a few teams will grab players early because they're scared there will be a run on a position. With so many teams lacking decent OL and DL, i though RD 1 would see a lot of trench guys coming off the board. We will see though. Can't wait

Stanley isn't a sexy pick, but if KO leaves, I'd be happy with him! I just felt most of our games were lost because we couldn't get a pass rush going to get opposing offenses off the field. I realistically think without trading back, Bosa, Buckner, Stanley and Ramsey all have a chance to be there at #6, all of which I'd be thrilled with.
