So many of these guys picked that tackle Stanley and only one person picked Treadwell.I'm glad early predictions for the top 5/6 are almost always inaccurate.

the only way we pick Treadwell is if we trade back. He isn't worth the sixth pick Some think that he isn't even the top receiver in the class.

I would be disappointed if we picked an OT.  

[surfdude]

Stanley is the safe and best pick for them to make. LT is still a major piece to a successful team. Monroe can't stay healthy and Stanley is a mature kid and impressed he went back for his senior year.

I would be disappointed if they took Treadwell. He has no speed and the Ravens aren't gonna break in 2 rookie WRs.

Stanley is ready now to play. Take Stanley and round 2 should be a stud as well.

[Drew P]

I'm surprised no one has the Ravens selecting Spence in their mock drafts.

Miles would be interesting if he can play the outside if not it would be too early for an ILB.

 

[PolishRifle]

Stanley wouldn't be a sexy pick, but one I can get behind. He can be our LT of the future and can fill in at LG for a time, if we lose KO (lets face it, it's likely). 2 Birds, one stone and more stability for the Oline that protects our franchise QB and gives him time to throw and is in desperate need for depth.

if stanley is the pick than i am all for it but please do your homework fo and make sure this guy can handle playing LT in the nfl. do not want to use a #6 pick on a guy better suited to play RT. make sure he has the skills to handle the von millers of the league and protect our $120 million dollar qb

I'm all for Stanley. Joe needs protection, Monroe is unreliable, and we're probably gonna lose Osemele. Plus, we know Stanley is a team player (stayed for his senior season), and Notre Dame has a proven record of producing solid O Linemen- most recently 2X Pro Bowler Zach Martin.

[ravens4life86]

Stay away from Stanley. A boom or bust type player..too risky for 6th overall. Forget LT get one later, Skill position gamechangers are more important. So Bosa,Ramsey,Treadwell, etc

[ellicottraven]

I don't think Myles Jack is a future Terrell Suggs. He is versatile for sure, but Suggs was a dominant force for much of his career. Different body types, different styles and Jack is quick as a rabbit and the only reason we got Suggs was because he was slow at the combine! Suggs set collegiate records for sacks and Myles didn't. The only reason why this comparison was made was because both Myles and Suggs played RB sometime in their evolution!

bosa is a boom or bust type player IMO and Ramsey will be gone. Treadwell or also a boom or bust player. Stanley is the best pure pass protector in the draft.

[ravens4life86]

@Surfdude, Bosa isnt a boom or bust. Hes a beast. Ramsey gone? Thats no guarantee. Browns 99% likely Qb pick, maybe Cowboys too. So that'll drop a couple top 5 players down the draft board to the Ravens.
As for Stanley I have seen enough draft reports on him from draft people, saying he has all the physical tools but gets beat to often by lesser talented players. Hmmmm....that sounds like Michael Oher. You can get that guy rnds 2-4

[gametyme]

I would like to see the Ravens get a defensive stud at 6 and hold off on the OL, and I just don't see this FO drafting a WR in the first round two years in a row.

[ravens4life86]

The guy I have been Eyeballing if Ravens really want one is someone like Le'Raven clark TT OT 6'6 320LB Monster...get him 3rd--4th round mold him and plug him in

I just don't see the Cowboys using their 5th pick on a QB that probably won't start for another 3 years (assuming Romo stays healthy). IF the Jags don't take Ramsey, I don't see the Cowboys passing on him.

uhhhh Tunsil is by a mile and a half lol 2 sacks surrendered in 28 starts. His nickname is literally "The Eraser"

[Ravenous_Ravens]

The reality is there are simply not as many special players in this years draft, talking about the 1% of players that are distinctly at another level compared to their peers. The nice thing is after the first round, most of the other rounds will still feature good value players to be had. This is where Ozzie and DeCosta will make their draft happen. Also do not be surprised to see a trade back in the first for another few picks, all situational of course. At this point I would prefer DeForest Buckner over Joey Bosa as Buckner is a better overall player and still brings a good pass rush. Bosa does not quite have the coverage ability you would want to see for such a high pick. I'd also take Jalen Ramsey over Hargreaves III. Hargreaves plays well enough, but IMHO gators secondary never learn to properly tackle. They can make a big hit, but they sure do not wrap up soundly consistently enough. A concern for sure when you look at his size and the fact wr/te's keep getting bigger and a big hit is not going to bring them down very often. Elam has experienced similar issues in his play. Aside from that aspect I would stay away from gators secondary players period.

Von Miller lines up on the offense's right side btw. :)

Agreed. I think fans and the public are driving that train.

It really makes very little sense, particularly in a weak QB class. Cowboys can easily get one of the top defensive players in the draft, a WR, a RB, or frankly anybody outside of OL they want.

Didn't Suggs finish a 20 sack season before being drafted? I pray to God Bosa is slower than expected haha and SD, DAL, or JAX thinks they're outsmarting other teams and take Buckner, whom I would still be happy with too.

[The Greek]

if we can stay healthy and get our injured players back to 100% than i see us getting back to the playoffs with better coaching, schemes, player development and better familiarity of trestmans offense and hopefully a more aggressive defense from pees. the players we draft or bring in will certainly help at some point in the season but the running game must improve and getting pressure on the opposing qb must improve. pass rushers will be available after rd 1 that we can develop. getting a tunsil, stanley or ramsey to fall to us at #6 than man o man i will be one excited fan

bosa is going to run a slow time alright. he is projected to run in the 4.8 range. what worries me about him is that he isn't very explosive unlike suggs.

[RavensDieHard21]

I'm surprised no one has the Ravens selecting Spence in their mock drafts.

Miles would be interesting if he can play the outside if not it would be too early for an ILB.

 

I think that if he impresses at the combine, then he would certainly be in the top 5 conversation

[hen826957]

I would do whatever it takes to get Ramsey or Joey Bosa on our team especially Ramsey even if it takes a couple of picks to move up. The Ravens have to get ahead of the Cowboys maybe trade with San Diego to get Ramsey. They need this guy in our secondary.

[RavensDieHard21]

Based on our needs, if I were Ozzie, this is how I see our Big Board stacking up:

1.) Tunsil- Best prospect in the draft and is going to be a legit cornerstone for a franchise. 2 sacks allowed in 28 starts....case closed

2.) Bosa- his football IQ is off the charts, has a wide variety of moves to disengage blockers, strength, speed and can stop the run as well.

3.) Ramsey- Another player that will fit in any scheme and make an impact, he would make our secondary scary with Webb, Hill and Smith.

4.) Buckner- As many have already said, very high ceiling and very high floor, certainly a safe pick since he can keep our run support strong as well as has the ability to generate a mean interior rush with Jernigan.

5.) Spence- I think he is going to continue to impress at the combine to compliment his outing at the Senior Bowl, certainly has the speed and technique to get to the QB, undeniably the second best edge rusher in this class that would fit in our scheme

6.) Hargreaves- In this passing league corners are becoming more and more valuable, his technique and ball skills cannot be disputed.

7.) Stanley- He still has to increase strength because he is decent in run blocking, but his huge upside in pass protection makes him valuable for the future.

8.) Alexander- He is still developing and will be tested in the NFL unlike he was in college, but his speed, aggressiveness and IQ help keep him blanketed over his man, which is something we really need. Adding ball skill improvements could make him the #1 cover corner in this draft.

9.) Treadwell- I am not a fan of taking him early, but in a trade back scenario, he might develop into a Dez like receiver whom can win jump ball battles and make defenders miss in the open field if given the opportunity with Flacco.

10.) Jack- I'd say Smith because he is a monster, but Jack can do it all and is closer to returning than Smith. He could infuse speed and nasty cover skills which will give us great ILB for years with Mosley.

For moving up 1-3 spots, I wouldn't give up much more than a 3rd round pick and a pick next year unless they were to bundle together another pick such as us giving up our 1st and second and we get their third, or something of that nature, which I would only do for Bosa, Ramsey or Tunsil.

[The Greek]

if spence kicks butt and even outshines bosa at the combine than that bodes well for us because it likely makes spence a top 10 pick and would not be considered a reach if we were to draft him at #6 but the fo has to make sure his character/personal issues are over with

[cushrinada1986]

It seems more and more likely the ravens will trade back and stock picks. Looking at the middle rounds. The real talent value will be in rounds 2-4 so busting our brains for a blue chipper when we can get solid players + depth, I would rather pick at #12-15 after a trade or two than pick at #6.
