Nobody ever said that people that smoke Jane were very bright.

PFF does a good job on evaluating players after a game but coming up with
this draft idea is really stupid.

"because most people want a defensive playmaker. An offensive lineman just isn’t exciting." WRONG! Not if it is Tunsil at 6!

My thoughts exactly, if we pick Stanley I'll be annoyed, but Tunsil is on another level. If he somehow slips to 6 we would be fools not to pick him, especially considering him sliding that far would imply Ramsey, Jack, and Bosa would be gone.

I love Steve Smith Sr and wish he had always been a Raven.  He's truly one of us.

Wishing we would trade up to pickup Carson Wentz....we really need this kid.........and it's still so sick that peoples lives and careers are ruined by the harmless weed that is going to be Legal countrywide sooner than later, Get off josh gordons back..........SMH...

[ellicottraven]

If the PFF's mock has even a remote chance of actually happening, I guarantee you there won't be a 'sigh' of anything, there will be 'shrieks' of pure blissful joy!

I think Wentz is going to be an awesome QB, but didn't we already sign one for 6 more years at well over 20MM/yr? I'm quite content with our QB situation and would like to draft Ramsey, Jack, Buckner, Bosa, VH3, Stanley in that order of availability.

[steelcityraven]

WOW.... a tale of two different WR... Steve Smith...he gets it... its not all about SSS.... on the other end of the spectrum is Josh Gordon, who seems to have not figured that out yet. Glad SSS is a RAVEN!

Hmmm. Lets see.....Millions of dollars or smoking pot?? He is a idiot!

[steelcityraven]

I don't think I agree with J Zrebeic - I think we could take Zeke at # 6 and still get an impact CB and Pass rusher. (Our # 36 pick) should still find Will Jackson, Fuller or Canaday still available. Any one of those guys could come in and help us right now and there may even be better quality in the 2nd round then some of the CBs in round 1 (later in rd 1). There are still some impact pass rushers who we can land in rounds 2,3 and 4. (Noah Spence, Shaun Oakman, Kyler Fackrell as mentioned, Travis Feeney and more) could all come in and make us a more dangerous pass rush immediately and all should be available from # 36 on down... Heck even at MLB... I think we can improve our team in the middle rounds...Tyler Matakaveich out of Temple, Blake Martinez out of Stanford and BJ Goodson out of Clemson... are 3 that I really like! I even like Reggie Northrup out of FSU but he is coming off of an ACL and probably will not help us until next year)... Remember not every superstar in the league was a 1st round draft pick.... and there is a lot of talent in the mid rounds.. If we wanted Zeke we could still find a lot of quality help in this draft at the positions of need!

Not sure why most are against drafting Elliot. Forsett is old Allen is a good back but I don't see him being a work horse. West is one and done so is Richardson. Elliot would be our L Bell in Pittsburgh, a game changer. Elliot is also a great pass blocker as well. Buckner we already have in Jurnigan, Bosa maybe but prefer Elliot. The Ravens haven't had a back like this since Jamal Lewis. Running ball will help d and we can get d in second round. Draft Elliot if we want best player avalible.

SMH... Gordon is suspended bc he cannot follow rules. The fact is that weed is not legal and if he cannot leave it alone even when his life is being ruined and he is losing millions of dollars... that is a problem. "IF" they legalize it... that don't mean that it still will not be a banned substance by the NFL... there are many legal substances in society that NFLers cannot take... and if they do there will be consequences and ramifications....and "IF" weed ever gets legalized then he can smoke it all he wants but right now he cant or there will be penalties. IF the speed limit in your state is going to be raised to 70 mph in a few months but it currently 55mph and you go 70 now.... there will and should be consequences and ramifications. IF he don't want his life ruined then he needs to follow the rules until the rules change "IF" they change. Every employer in the world has rules and if you don't like them then find a new place to work. That is Josh Gordon's dilemma.

Agreed...if we landed Tunsil.... I would be elated !

Truly awesome SSS

Tunsil would be a no brainier at the #6 spot 

[eze17]

Tunsil won't be there at #6...PFF is just yanking our chain...If he WAS still there, Raven's fans should get down on their knees and thank God that he's giving them a blue-chip stud that will anchor our o-line for the next ten years or so...

I'm pretty sure one has nothing to do with the other.

[eze17]

And a lot of props to S.Smith Sr...The Raven's always have a lot of classy guys on their roster, but Mr. Smith has proven his commitment not only to football but just being an all around decent human being as well!

[bioLarzen]

Josh Gordon reportedly shares a flat with Manziel (who continues to live a party life) in LA...

That should give everyone a fairly clear picture of his chances of coming clean any time soon...

I missed the frank Wainright passing...my condolences to his family...

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

SSS is Awesome!!! He has just made a young fan very happy. Class act all the way I am so happy he became a Raven.

If he is the pick I will be very satisfied. I would be ecstatic if it was Ramsey or Tunsil LOL

SO true

He is the MAN! Shame we received him so late.

[Raven'evermore]

 Elliott with the 6th.  Spriggs or Decker in the 2nd.  Wouldn't be against another tackle or guard afterward somewhere down the line to beef up the right side.  Doesn't matter who's running the ball if Monroe goes down injured again and people start coming through our oline, we're going to be throwing the ball a lot more than necessary.. 

  As a parent of an autistic person; how SSS's going out of his way to make this young girl happy is appreciated.

I am not opposed to Elliot, he is the 5th best prospect in this draft and would help tremendously, especially in the red zones where we too often had to settle for a FG instead of a TD. But I would say he is more comparable to Rice at his peak than Lewis.

I mean come on! I would be so excited I wouldn't be able to contain myself lol We could almost immediately move on from Monroe, or use him at Guard early and keep Monroe incase Wagner leaves. Our line would have sick depth as Urschel can play G and C, and Jensen can play LG if Urschel has to move.
