I get the feeling he might be gone before 6. But you never know.

[metalraven]

If he has Ray Lewis-like instincts to go with that athleticism, put him at MLB. Then, after making his 15th tackle in one game; I want to hear him say: "I'm a machine, jerk."

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

Unfortunately, i dont think he gets past Jacksonville at #5. They are looking for their Bobby Wagner to run that defense. I'd love it if he did fall to us though... so versatile, would help the run D, and passing D by covering TEs, WR's, RBs out of the backfield, and can also rush the passer from the inside or out. Dude is a stud... shoot if needed he could step in at RB for goal line carries.

Dream pick right here ! Mosley + Jack = our vrsion of Willis/bowman . I hope jags go Bosa or Ramey .

With a surgically repaired knee, using a #6 spot on him doesn't make sense to me. Think our biggest need is a LT to protect Flacco

[EdTheMythicalOne]

I know the measurables may look very impressive with Jack, but something bothers me about taking him so high. This is a #6 overall pick. Everyone around Baltimore is saying this is a "make or break" draft for Ozzie since we've got a top 10 pick. Do you really want to spend that high of a pick on a guy coming off a surgically repaired knee? Especially a guy who has more of a finesse to his game and mobility is his trademark? I don't really care how fast he moves in a straight line, I'd like to see how he moves laterally and in the agility drills. I am sure somebody must have some tape of him prior to knee surgery and they can compare it to how he moves now. If somebody takes him higher, let them. If he's still on the board at our pick...I'd pass on him. We need a sure thing and I don't think you can take a guy that high in the draft with a surgically repaired knee.

You were posting this at the same time I made mine and we make the same point. I'd also agree that IF there is a player we deem as a sure-fire franchise LT at our pick we take him. If Monroe is healthy our new pick can start out at LG just like Ogden did in his first season. If Wagner looks shaky again he could play RT for a season.

[EvilWayz]

Guys there are going to be a lot of options at #6 and I don't know who we are going to pick. These mock drafts I pay no attention to them. Yes it gives you an idea of where someone will go, but I wait until draft day to really see who's going where. So us getting Myles Jack may happen, but if his tock went up since seeing his pro day he may not be there either. I do think Joey Bosa will be the first to go, after that I have no idea. I could be wrong about the first pick. You just never know how these picks are going to go.

I will say this we will be able to get some good player ay #6, which is the highest pick we've had in a long time. So I can't wait to see who we pick. I'm already planning my draft party.

Quick question for you. Do you think we're done signing guys until the draft?

[jravens1313]

If we get Jack, Bosa, or Hargreaves we will have had an A+ offseason.

[Ravenwave]

The fact he didn't run the 40 should scare everyone and haven't we learned anything from last year with Periman. We need a no worries impact player.

[ravenscavecreek]

This is our guy. Hope he's there at #6. Nuff said.

[hen826957]

I think LB is the most important piece we missing on defense with CJ Mosley and Myles Jack would be a good combo with him. Like l said, we need a corner opposite of Jimmy Smith but we don't need that badly because Webb and Arrington can keep hold it down and have Weddle back there to help. Offensive line is fine because Monroe can play LT and Urschal can play guard and plus Ozzie is good finding one in the later rounds. Defensive line is fine with talent so we really don't need at defensive line player in round one hopefully Noah Spence falls to the 2 round (unlikely) and Ozzie to a trade up to get him. But any of those players Bosa, Buckner, or Ramsey will be great players so l wouldn't mind Ozzie getting them but l think LB is the most important piece more than CB, OL, and DL at this point unless they resigned Daryl Smith.

[ellicottraven]

He would be a great addition to our team. But, I would still like to see him run April 1st to make sure he is 100% recovered. Not as a slight to him, but as a measure of excessive caution for the Ravens. We aren't going to be picking this high any time soon again, may be never.

[RavensFanThick&Thin]

Seem like a great pick to solve the LB coverage issues as long as his other pro day checks out. That and a draft day 2 CB in the draft would make a really nice coverage package with the recent addition right?

I'm not a defensive package expert but something like a 2-4-5?

DBs
Wright/Day 2 CB...Weddle...Hill....Webb/Davis (slot)...Smith

LBs
Sizzle...Mosley...Jack...Doom (sprinkle in a draft day 2/3 pass rusher?)

DL
Williams...Jernigan

[ellicottraven]

Was that Hue Jackson in that video chatting Myles up? So, if Hue Jackson actually goes to UCLA to see Jack in action, that tells me there is a good chance the Browns are trading for Kaepernik and taking either Myles Jack or Bosa with their #2. I think the draft could go very much like:
1. Ramsey
2. Jack
3. Tunsil
4. Bosa
5. Buckner
6. Leftover stud (VH3, Elliott or Stanley)

I agree ellicottraven in that I don't think the Browns will draft a QB either.  Hue Jackson knows where he is now...the AFC North.  He knows what it will take to win and that is why I think he will draft defense first.

Miles Jack is a good player no doubt. But I would be wary of taking a LB at pick #6 with a surgically repaired knee.

[merryjman]

Dream pick right here ! Mosley + Jack = our vrsion of Willis/bowman . I hope jags go Bosa or Ramey .

what good is having a Willis/Bowman if you don't have an Aldon Smith / Ahmad Brooks??? I'd much prefer a pass rusher at this point.

[akacrow]

Jack would not play OLB in a 34.

[BigUgly]

Rex Ryan would know exactly how to creatively use this guy. He could be an Adages Thomas type. Some say that, if not for the knee injury (which was minor compared with an ACL) he's be a top pick.

[BigUgly]

Jack would not play OLB in a 34.

Why not? He's 2 inches taller and only 10lbs lighter than Dumervil. If he were to play outside permanently, he'd have to get bigger and stronger. Can't coach speed and athleticism, though.

I think that's just due diligence (sp?).  Just like why would we meet with players we know will be gone by our pick, mainly speaking of previous years.  But who knows, I do have a feeling Hue will be able to turn them around

Didn't he always know where he was/is, the AFCN? lol.  I think a strong case could be made that they need a QB more than any defensive player, Wentz seems to offer a lot for the future and they might not get another chance at a QB this good for a bit. 

[Halshayeji]

As much as I personally love Miles Jack as a prospect and certainly wouldn't mind the Ravens taking him at 6 because hes just a freak! I don't think it would be wise to take an ILB this early in this years draft.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Jack but its just that I believe Darron Lee(OSU) and Reggie Raglant(ALABAMA) are really really close seconds. I wouldn't be surprised if both have a better rookie season or careers.

The point im trying to make is that we can move up from our second to take the best avaliable ILB and get 95 % or what Jack has to offer without the injury concern. On the flip side, the varience between the top 10 pass rushers and the pass rushers expected to go in the second round is huge. If we take a ILB then we have to settle with a somesort of developmental guy in the second round. If we take a LT or Pass rusher with our first then we can get 2 potential starters day 1.

Jack has elite speed, great coverage and open field tackling skills. It would be a waste to not utilize what hes already good at and could be great at. As a 3-4 OLB he may turn into a descent speed rusher one but will never batt down passes and may never develop an elite bull rush. As much as i love Dumervil, hes still a one dimensional player. A player like that is a solid late first rounder but not a top 5 guy. Jack on the other hand has priceless traits as a MLB and if drafted that high its because he has the potential to be elite as a MLB not a very good undersized potential pass rusher.

I forgot who mentioned this a few days ago but i gotta give all the credit to him if hes reading this. If this scenario happens, all of a sudden our 6th overall pick becomes a hot trending commodity as every quarterback desperate team will call for a trade. Plus every LT desperate team and every team that had someone rated in the top 5 but fell. I personally hate moving back in the first but if this happens then lets do it. 

[gooftroop]

If (a big if) Buckner and Jack are still available at #6 that would be an awfully tough call, IMO. I think Buckner could make our DL beastly.

I think that getting Jack, Bosa, or Buckner would be an awesome pick.  I'm not so sure that Hargreaves is worth the 6th pick, so it's better that we trade down to get him.  On the other hand, trading up to get Ramsey might be much better.  

1. Joey Bosa*	DE	Ohio State	96
2. Laremy Tunsil*	OT	Mississippi	95
3. DeForest Buckner	DE	Oregon	95
4. Jalen Ramsey*	CB	Florida St	94
5. Ezekiel Elliott*	RB	Ohio State	92
6. Ronnie Stanley	OT	Notre Dame	92
7. V. Hargreaves I.*	CB	Florida	92
8. Myles Jack*	OLB	UCLA	92

Is Jack a 3-4 OLB or 4-3 OLB?
