So with all the edge rushers we got this year... Let's say KC and correa total for 10 sacks

Not too far fetched. Correa has the explosion to be a handful, and with the DL rotation he will have opportunities, and if BK is used properly as a 5T then he too could have a good 4 or 5 sacks because he bends the edge so well.

@JoeyFlex5

I'm not sure edge rusher would be a need then but I think we'd take a guy if they're available. You can never have enough and it would mean we could cut ties with Dumervil and draft another guy to help a healthy stable of pass rushers.

More 2017 prospects to look for

Derek Barnett DE/OLB Tennessee 6'3 260 can get after the QB

Jalen Tobar CB Florida 

Jalen Reeves-Maybin ILB Tennessee 

Anthony Walker Jr LB northwestern

I really like Reeves maybin. I need to look again but I'm not sure I like him for us but I do like him. 

 

I remember watching him a while back and being impressed but I can't remember exactly what he looked like.. Like does he look like a great coverage LB? Because that's my main concern, I just can't remember..

on tape he's very fast LB. he's pretty good in coverage I know last year was his junior year so he's most def coming out this year had an outstanding year over 100 tackles and 5 sacks also he had 21 in that game against Oklahoma so he's a machine man. but also look out for his teammate Derek Barnett who I put up there also beast 20.5 sacks in two years playing DE/OLB he reminds me of Michael Bennett he can play all over the line 3, 5, 4-3 DE, OLB in 3-4 really watch out for him

[Davesta]

Every year I tell myself "don't research players cause you'll fall in love but will only get your heart broken when Ozzie doesn't select your guys." But every year I fail to listen. With that said, come on JuJu Smith WR USC or Eddie Jackson S Alabama!

I really like Anthony Walker. I think he could be a great roaming linebacker to play in the middle of the defense.

Very good coverage LB as well as play the run very underrated player.

I'm telling you man. That's what makes the draft less enjoyable. 

[RavensDieHard21]

This  next year's first round will be loaded with secondary studs. I love King and Tabor. As far as pass rushers that realistically we could land, Barnett looks great as has been consist. 

[JoeyFlex5]

If we switch to a more full time 43, then I think we will really need a DE and one more OLB. If we stick with our philosophy of hybrid players then there are some good ones in this class. Devonte fields is an excellent Blitzer and stand-up rusher and has elite speed and agility, him and correa as 43OLBs would have rididculous potential. Jonathan Allen looks like a stud 43DE and could be the answer to our pass rush if we go 43. Also lewis neal looks like a nice 2nd round option as de, I see a lot of dumervil/shaq Lawson in his game.

I don't know, with ZDS and Kaufusi we have two potential studs. You add Judon and Ochi as pass rush specialists and I think it's fair to expect production, a bit like the Seahawks'. I'd rather look at a S/LB hybrid to complete our trio. And for that my favourite is Jabril Peppers.

I like a ILB/SS hybrid in a 34 but in a 43 I like 2 OLBs who can blitz and at least one of them who can cover and using 2 coverage safeties. I think correa is that kind of LB because he has shown some good coverage in college. One more of those guys who can do both could have the Broncos defense looking up to us. 

 

Of course this is assuming that guys like Webb and weddle, Jimmy and wright, Correa and mosley, kaufusi ochi and judon, and henry and jernigan progress or pan out.

[JoeyFlex5]

A very frustrating prospect I just discovered.. Skai Moore from SC. 6'2 218 but he can FLY, and he's frustrating for a few reasons... 

 

One, he looks like he wants minimal contact, when most players are knocking heads and laying extra hits on ball carriers, he's just kinda standing close to the action. 

 

Two, very reluctant in all phases. He is noncommittal against the run, he is a coverage specialist and could be elite there but he is too resistant to commit to a real drop back. Too many times I've watched him stay shallow with his eyes on the qb while every wr runs intermediate, and every time he misses out on huge opportunities because the ball always goes right over his head in these situations. If he would just be able to feel those deeper routes coming and commit to a 10-12 yard drop rather than a 6-8 yard drop then he would be making a lot of noise through turnovers.

[JoeyFlex5]

More quick takes.. 

 

Derek barnett, DE/OLB Tennessee. 

Good size for either 34OLB or 43DE. Good and consistent first step, times the snap and pairs with a good jump, quick hands and tends to swat arms before the blocker engages. After the initial burst and swat he doesn't have much more to offer, has a tendency to fly around the pocket if he doesn't find the bend, or he just cuts back and dances with the tackle with no real goal. Great starter, bad finisher. Horrible tackler in the run game, not even sure why he fails so bad on tackles but he just misses them. Decent field awareness because he senses blockers and traffic well, but horrible ball awareness, never knows where the ball is or where it's going. 

 

Another frustrating prospect becausr they show great tools and prototype physical traits but seem to lack NFL caliber mental capacity.

[Winchester]

Duuuuuude stop!! lol the idea is the ravens to not have many major needs next draft. After this class knocks it out!! Reason I  would of traded next yrs #1 pick for several mid round picks this draft and add several more pro bowl caliber talents in a deep rounds2-4.

Example whý I would of traded Dumervil last season at trade line when it should of been obvious ravens were not contenders. Dumervils value was still bank coming off a 17 sack run. And a team may of sprung for a round3 and some change.Dumervil may have one double digit run left but I would prefer to traded him to a contender for a draft pick to find the next Dumervil.

[ravefan52]

Juju and Mike Williams are both freaks. I have serious doubts we'll ever draft a top WR though.

[JoeyFlex5]

i really wanna like malachi dupre, but im having a hard time... i feel like he drops too many balls that hit him right in the hands, like far worse than any HWS prospect ive seen in years. 

 

i honestly love the idea of OJ howard as a WR. he has middle of the pack WR speed on its own, but an absolutely elite combo of size and speed, and he is shiftier than any guy out there his size, dude is a legit route runner with WR athleticism in an elite TE frame, and has the goods to bail out his qb on a regular basis. 

 

this is something i am very much on board with and have been since last years draft process started and i saw howards playoff run.

Talented player, but he was suspended and then kicked out of TCU for punching his girlfriend and threatening her with a gun.

Skai Moore had neck surgery and is out for all of 2016. I'd assume he gets a medical redshirt and returns to South Carolina for 2017.

Corey Robinson wide receiver for Notre Dame has given up football! Because of concussions has had 3 already in his career. https://t.co/cixgesEc46

Ethan pocic. Center from lsu. One of my frontrunners for our first rounder, of course assuming were not in the top 12.

[RaineV1]

Jabrill Peppers would be great if he fell for a dumb reason (which often happens). You'd have a great athlete learning under Weddle. Adoree Jackson would also be a great athlete to add to the secondary.

I'm not too big on adoree Jackson as anything more than a return man, maybe I'm missing something.. I like tredavious white and Sutton a good bit more.

Totally agree. I tried to like Jackson, but I just don't see anything special except for raw athleticism. White and Sutton were among my fav CB had they declared for this draft.

Sutton is a great athlete and I think is the higher upside guy while white is hands down the better cover man. He's very underrated imo.
