Who should we take at #6? The new and improved version

[GrimCoconut]

I may be alone here, but I think that Kevin Dodd may go to the Dallas Cowboys over Joey Bosa. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that happens and Joey Bosa drops right to us.

VH3 will likely be the best player available when we pick. Will be nice added a ballhawk to the team.

As much as I love Ramsey I would have no problem sitting tight at 6 and taking VH3, I'm not sold on Wright being the answer at CB2 and I love VH3's upside, definitely the makings of a premiere corner. I think Frazier could do great work with him.

Can't say I can totally disregard this. 

 

I could see NFL teams valuing dodd MUCH more than typical fans. He is incredibly disruptive and has a freakish first step for his size. He also shows great promise as a pro because he has some of the Best vision in the class. Also he's not bad with his hands and could honestly end up the Best edge player in this class with the right coaching and system

I'm hearing a lot of hype around Dodd, and while a lot of people will remark that hype as nothing, this same hype surrounded other prospects who had a surge as the Draft drew closer. Dodd could be a guy that teams are quiet on but the media is slow to get up to speed in terms of how they view him. Furthermore, I've read a lot of reports that keep saying Bosa is going to drop.  To me that's saying that Bosa must not have a lot of hype in FOs. Now, of course that could be deception and it wouldn't be the first time,  but I've come to learn that a lot of times the closer you get to the Draft, sometimes some of these things are real if you keep hearing them. I keep hearing Dodd connected to the Giants, and he did a very good job at his Pro Day. I've heard that he is likely to go higher than Shaq Lawson.

He just seems like the kind of prospect that would surprise you and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what Jerry does this year. Pass rusher is a need for them, but I just don't buy the Bosa hype for them. I just feel like they will go with Dodd.

Scooby is not a 3rd rounder. Hes a ST ace and high effort camp guy and goal line gap plugger at best. He doesn't have the movement skills to succeed in the NFL

Ya the more i watch him I want to believe he has a lot of the intangibles, but as you said, he doesn't have the quick twitch movement as you would like to see from a LB, while I am praying for Boyd then lol

I'm also hoping for Buckner + a speed rusher, may it be Spence, Ngakoue, Schobert, Nicholas or Calhoun. 

Ngakoue with some strength training could be a legit pass rusher. I hope he is there for one of our 4th round picks and I like Calhoun too, he has potential, but I don't know if I'd take him with our second. I am hoping Spence, Dodd, Jackson III, Alexander, or maybe even Apple fall to us.

Imagine trading multiple picks to get Ramsey and he's a bust or he has a career ending injury. It's a team sport, you can't mortgage your house on one player.

The only player in this draft that I think we could give up a second or future high pick for to move up to get is Tunsil. The guy is a slated All-pro Tackle and will be a Joe Thomas/ Tyron Smith like talent that makes your quarterback sleep well at night. I just hate that SD, Jax, and Dallas practically have all the same needs we do. I also wouldn't be against giving up a third or 4th rounder to grab Bosa at 4 or 5 if we thought it would secure him from anyone else getting him because regardless of anyone's doubts. Bosa will end up being a 8-10 sack a year guy that shuts down the run and brings attitude, certainly worth a top 5 pick.

[Gordo52]

The dream of drafting Ramsey intensifies. Let him play CB/S until Weddle retires, then move him over to FS.

Our secondary would look so legit. 

[Gordo52]

Ramsey, Bosa, Treadwell, Jack. 

 

Please 1. ?

[ant2ney]

The more I think about it, the more I think a trade back may be the ideal option if all of the supposed game changers are off the board (Tunsil, Ramsey, Bosa, Jack, maybe include Buckner in this conversation)

We obviously now have a huge hole at guard and I'm sure we could find a good one in the 2nd/3rd. We also HAVE to upgrade backup LT from Hurst, as lets be honest, this guy will likely be playing half the time, and Hurst has proven to be a liability. If we draft Stanley then this obviously changes, but I would prefer to stay with Monroe for one more year and draft a backup/developmental LT

It sounds like there may be a couple of good corners available at the top of the 2nd round

Depending on how far we could trade back, we could address edge rush in the 1st round - Lawson/ Dodd/ Spence

There is also supposedly an absolute wealth of interior DL talent in this draft- I listen to a few draft podcasts and over and over again I hear that you can pick up DTs in the 3rd/4th that would have been 1st rounders most years. We know how much the Ravens value this position so I would be surprised if we did not take one of them in the first 3/4 rounds.

Basically what I'm saying is if there is a blue chip player there at 6 then we take him, but aside from that if we can find any way of acquiring a few more 2nds and 3rds then we could plug a lot of roster holes. Obviously trading back involves finding someone to trade with, but I'm just talking ideal scenarios.

Treadwell ? no way at 6. He will drop close to 17-20. He didn't run the 40 because he would have run 4,7. Waiting for his pro day to get in 4,6ish

[KBoum]

I really like Dodd. He has HIGH upside. But at 4 its a bit of a reach. I don't think he's Pro Ready and picking at 4 you want a guy who can play right away. Bosa is more NFL ready even if he maybe doenst have double digit sack potentiel unlike Dodd but he's much better at stopping the run.

 

I think Dodd is a great fit for the Buccs tho

[dpatrickguy]

I love how the middle of our defense would look with Jack, Mosley, and Weddle, that's for sure.

Really? I don't think so. While the Cowboys are capable of selecting players that no one expected them to pick (Travis Frederick comes to mind), I don't believe Kevin Dodd is a candidate despite the recent hype.

The thing is Bosa has strange concerns surrounding him. I keep hearing he will fall. The 40 likely raise concerns, and while he killed the rest of his Combine, we've seen similar prospects fall. Furthermore, Dodd is a really good fit for Dallas. I don't personally like it, but it's a hunch based upon what I've seen from Dallas. I really think Dallas throws everyone a curveball with their pick. I wouldn't be surprised if they take Ezekiel Elliott over Bosa, too. 

I just think the automatic mock of Bosa to Dallas is almost too easy and it rarely works out like that.

I'm betting 100 bucks we go Stanley. I want jack or bosa but I don't see it happening.

I'm pretty confident Stanley isn't a Ozzie's type of player.

First, OT isn't a big need : cutting Monroe would still carry a high deadcap number. So they'll probably try to draft a late round OT like Beavers and try to develop him with Monroe/Hurst this season.

Second, there are some rumors that Stanley doesn't like football very much. So if the Ravens crew (who are good in interviews) believe he's not 100% commited, they won't take him with the 6th pick. Also the Ravens like their OT to be good run blocker as well and he's not really a fit.

 

I think at 6th, there are a lot of options that could help the Ravens right away. Keeping Monroe and hoping for a paycut and drafting a 3-4 DE or ILB or CB who could be start would be better moves imo. Pass rusher can also be an option with the uncertainty of Suggs injury and Dooms is getting older as well. Not a lot of depth at that position so I see the Ravens draftting at least 2 pass rushers (maybe signing one in Training Camp cuts)

Now Ezekiel Elliott is a pick I won't be surprised with just given their needs and Elliott's promise to be a game breaker. With that line, he'll be awesome and take pressure off Romo. Now, that is a pick that makes sense and like you know he's been mocked to Dallas as well.

I'm thinking  (more like hoping) that the Jaguars take Stanley. I say this because of the report of their officials chasing Beechum to the airport to come back.

 

Maybe just maybe they'llfeel like they addressed the defense enough in FA and go offense with their first pick, letting Jack fall to us.

 

Here's to hope!

He could land in SD to their line is awful.

[Cville-Raven]

I'm leaning towards Jack at this point. 

[gtalk12]

could we go RB this year? We are stacked at that position currently, however how long can we rely on Justin F? We are stacked at Safety as well and still signed Weddle considering we have Hill and moved Webb back there. I'm talking 1st round, what are the chances we trade down and grab a RB?

Zeke at 6 isn't a reach. He's legit a game changer. Imagine him in the backfield now that they have added speed at the WR position.

[Deflated Football]

WalterFootball's latest mock draft has us taking Buckner at 6 and Mackensie Alexander with our second pick.

are you sure that isn't a reach? lol I was thinking we would draft a RB in the 1st round IF and only IF we trade down. 6 is high, VERY high

He's highly regarded as one of the best players in the entire draft.  I wouldnt be surprised if he goes at 4 to Dallas.

I think he may very well go to Dallas. As another member said, he takes pressure off of Romo, he can catch the ball like anyone's business, can carry the load if Romo goes down to make it easier on the back-up QB they get/have, and it would take pressure off of a rookie QB eventually. Furthermore, he can also pass protect. It's a major win for them.

I don't think he is there. I keep hearing rumors he will go to Jacksonville and I think those rumors are very solidified. It makes too much sense and I can't see JAX passing on him.
