[News] Late For Work 4/26: One Question For Five Potential Defensive Draft Picks

[dirtybird66]

remember,we won that superbowl for one reason,the other QB.'S couldn't get off the ground,take that out and FLACCO alone doesnt get you to a superbowl.

I think we will go Stanley, Buckner, Lawson or Hargreaves. They are the cleanest players in the draft at the top of the board with the smallest amount of risk (risk relating to off the field issues and injury issues) imho..

Is there any one QB that can win a SB alone? Last I checked it was a team sport.

I would rather take Elliot over all the players you mentioned except Hargreaves which is kind of a tie for me. In your scenario where we take any of these players who's left on the board?

I am watching the Sports Science Show on the combine and they tested Ramsey and if I needed any more ammo about Ramsey to love him more, he just destroyed those tests. Highest vertical jump of any person in any sport they have ever tested. His acceleration is off the hook, unbelievable length, and vertical jump makes getting the ball past him virtually impossible. Usually we pick at the end and my expectations for talent is tempered by where we pick, but this year we are so close to getting the top talent in this year's draft I could paintbrush slap Mallett for beating the Steelers (did I really say that). It takes the patience of Ozzie to not just move up and get this guy. Unheard of for a player who is not a qb, but he is as close to that as you can get.

Romo is a fantasy stud. Reality not so much.

I don't think the Ravens should even consider trading back at this point. They should trust their board. There are no guarantees in any draft. If either Buckner, Bosa, Ramsey, or Tunsil are not good enough at the number 6 pick, then what does they say about the guys behind them. The strength of the is based on the guys in the draft and those are consensus top talents. Last thing the Ravens need, with all of their defensive needs and older players , is to trade back and get a guy that 10-14 teams passed on. Stay and get one of the best rated players in the draft. Where ar ethe Ravens so talneted that they should pass on a top 6 player?

Excluding trading down right away would be a mistake.

Trade down to get who? If you trade back you also risk someone jumping you to get that player. IMO, not a risk worth taking. Ravens could use a LT, CB, Pass Rusher (either interior or edge). Tunsil, Ramsey, Bosa,, Buckner. That's four players and only 3 selections IF Rams and Eagle take a QB. If Ravens move, there no guarantee that a better you expect will be there. Ask yourself why is a player you want falling back to you?

Yes, but you can add Jack, Elliott, Stanley, Hargreaves and even Conklin (if you think he's a legit LT like most do) to that above list and that puts you back to 11 or 12 and still getting one of those players. Plus you pick up at least a 2nd Round pick. Give me Stanley + 2nd over Bosa or Buckner all day long.

I sure hope the Ravens don't trade down, unless, someone makes them an offer they can't refuse, not just a couple of additional late round picks. It is time Ozzie Newsome stopped picking early round bums and got someone who could fill one of the many holes on defense or the LT position. Running back? OMG, NO! LT or Defense should be the Raven's mantra this Thursday.

I would love to see Ramsey as a Ravens don't get me wrong but the Ravens did really have trouble causing turnovers last year. Everyone knows this guy can cover but the Ravens need someone who can step in and cause some turnovers. Let's hope that he falls to the Ravens and he can catch some of those passes he covers so well.

Not that bad in reality either. He gets a bad rap for "choking", yet statistically, he was one of the better 4th quarter, tight game QBs in the entire league historically.

[Tobenna_MBA]

Ezekiell Elliot or Jalen Ramsey if either are available man!! lets just get an impact generational talent man. If not trade back and Get Hargraves. I do not want BOSA!!
