I respect the work, but if I'm Ozzie I reject that trade. And at this spot, Coleman is a reach, while WJIII may already be gone by the 15th pick. Cravens, as an ILB sounds nice however.

So I'm trading out of a potentially elite player at 6 for a 2nd and 4th? No thanks.

Imo terrible value.  With defense being our biggest issue,  going wr in the first with deep wr talent isn't smart imo.   We can love the ball,  we need to stop it

I really don't like that draft based on the trade. I don't see us sticking with all those picks if we were to trade our 1st rd pick either. Surely we'd trade back up at some point?

Unlike the above comments, I am going to explain why some of your choices are questionable. 

Let's start withe the trade. Moving down 10 spots for a 2nd and 4th is already a questionable from a value perspective. Trading up that high into the top 6 picks usually comes at a premium. The main issue starts with you not giving a reason for why Baltimore would do this. This starts with describing who is off the board and who is available. 

For example, I would be fine with moving down that far if Ezekiel Elliot were still on the board. Many will disagree from a positional value and need standpoint, but Elliot is easily one of the best prospects in this draft. We really don't have viable options at RB. Buck Allen was underwhelming as a starter and particularly as a rusher (altho that's not entirely on him), Forsett is not a long term answer. Terrance West + whoever else are depth pieces. None of these guys were what Ray Rice was and Elliot has the potential to be just as valuable if not better. 

That being said, let's talk about the pick. If you look in the past, Ozzie Newsome follows a very clear prototype when risking draft picks on WR's and Corey Coleman doesn't meet them. That isn't a knock on Coleman but a comment on Ozzie's process as a GM. It's no different than Seattle drafting corners with 33 inch arms. 

As for your other picks, the first error is that you don't explain why certain players will be available at those spots. A very easy example to pick out is Jihad Ward. Frankly, I don't see any way he falls to the 4th round and I'm sure many others don't either which likely gets you mock negged and dismissed. I urge to re-evaluate here, but if you choose not to, at least explain how and why this occurs.  

It would also help your case to explain who these players are, why they are available at that spot, why the team would take them, and what they would offer to the team.

Don't do it ozzzzziiieee

I would not even think of taking that trade 1st both 2nds 43 45 at a minimum to do the trade. Not a huge fan I like the Jackson pick but I take Spence or another pass rusher at 15 you could get a decent WR in the 3rd or 4th and address a much bigger need. With the 2 2ndround picks that would get us 4picks in the top 45 and I would go Spence  CB Jackson/Kendll Fuller WR Boyd/Doctson/Thomas and then depending on the board take another pass rusher or Thompson the FS from Boise St.
