I feel the same about Buckner and Elliot. Tunsil I don't feel the same.

We haven't met with Elliot or Buckner. And we haven't had a private meeting with Tunsil just talks at the combine. Seems weird to not meet with Tunsil, but have a private meeting with all the other top prospects like Ramsey, Bosa, Hargreaves, and Stanley. Doesn't seem like we're that interested with his injury history, off field issues (domestic violence and extra benefits) and with Robert Nkemdiche claiming that Tunsil was with him when he jumped out that window high on synthetic marijuana. I think every team will throw out the domestic violence history because he was supposedly defending his mother, even the extra benefits part will probably be thrown out the window, but injury concerns and what Nkemdiche has claimed may scare off teams including us. It's funny because it seems like he's just like Eugene Monroe especially after Monroe's recent stance on marijuana haha

Maybe we value Stanley more.  Which I could see.

I could see that as well. I mean there is some sense to that. If we think something is causing Tunsil to have chronic injuries and him being an issue with his suspension.. Stanley is a close second but I still think Tunsil is better in each way as of now. That doesn't mean Stanley maxes out more in 3 years. I think I would rather have Stanley/Tunsil over Elliot though I think a better offensive line is better than a better running back. Plus we need protection to open up Wallace and Perriman or we will be wasting away Wallace's contract. If we can't get 3 seconds of protection there is no reason to sign him in the first place.

In no way do I want Elliot to be our pick.  Stanley might be the option if 1) SD takes Tunsil or 2) we trade back with NY

I think people here seriously underestimate how good Stanley is. I've said it before but there's not much separating them. Stanley is better at run blocking than given credit.

[Kid87]

 I think we will get a pass rusher and Tackle in the first 2 rounds

A WR in the 3

A DB in the 4th

Deon Bush is underrated

I have us taking him in my Mock draft (my cheap plug)

[52520Andrew]

Haven't made one yet so here I go.

Andrew Billings will be the best DL in this draft

I really hope he drops to our second round pick. I doubt he does but him and Williams together if we switched to a 4-3 would be insane.

I don't get why people have him pigeonholed as a 2 down player. The guy can easily be more than that.

Watching his tape makes me laugh. He throws so many running backs in the air. The guy is a straight up beast. Add in that awesome play where he ran down a wide receiver from behind 20 or 30 yards down field is insane. He will be a steal of the draft. I hope he is our 2nd round pick.

Yeah he has a lot of fun plays for sure

If we got him in the 2nd that will be the steal of the draft. I think he may be the pick since there are always picks we scratch our head wondering how they will find a roll to play. He is that guy that will find his way onto the field. He is a rare talent for sure.

Yeah I think this DL class is just too good. I see there being a pretty good chance we take someone. The early second round for me is the sweet spot.

Yep, Bold prediction and I hope I'm wrong dude but the chargers and jags are going to take Ron Stanley and Tunsil. Chargers need a stud left tackle and even Rivers is pushing for it. And Jags have a young stud QB that would benefit big time from extra protection. Joeckel has been a bust although he would benefit from carefully adding 12-16 lbs of muscle. And Jags may not signed a fairly good left tackle but would have no prob letting the rookie begin at right tackle or guard and eventually playing left tackle or the veteran playing right tackle or even guard. To give the jags and their young franchise qb a stud oline. I would like ravens to get Tunsil or Ron Stanley. Joe Cool is far better when he has top shelf protection without having to leave his TE (s) in to block. When he can throw from a clean pocket yet has his TEs available as targets Joe Cool is an elite QB and as good as anybody.But tackles could be drafte already. Looks like it is going Goff,2Wentz,3Tunsil/Stanley,4Bosa/Ramsey,5Stanley/Tunsil,6Bosa/Ramsey or a trade down. Cowboys needing to get pressure on qbs is likely going after Bosa. Leaving Ravens with Ramsey or trade down and pick up Dodd or Spence  and an additional round 2 pick. The curve ball could be if somebody takes Ezekiel top6. But cowboys likely go Bosa and get a runner later.

I'm feeling a little uneasy about today, all week the talk of rising draft player has been centered around Leonard Floyd. And the with all the talk about the Ravens wanting pass rushers and Biscotti saying it as well. I'm just hoping we don't pick this kid at the 6th spot.  He wasn't highly productive at Georgia, questions about his strength and I've never seen a player totally avoid the bench press like he did.   

 

Now if we trade back and collect extra picks then it's a different story.

We are not staying at 6

[trevorsteadman]

Our 3rd round selection will be from a small school. It worked the last couple years with Brandon Williams and Crockett Gillmore. I can see it happening again with someone like Miles Killebrew from Southern Utah.

We have been big on smaller school flyers in that range (3-4 rounds), add Webb, Tray Walker, David Pittman, Gino Gradkowski...dont always work out but clearly we don't mind taking a chance. Javon Hargrave is one I think we may like and maybe go back to Colorado St. for Hollywood Higgins
