[BR News]

Staff writers Garrett Downing and Ryan Mink made their best predictions at what the Ravens will do with their nine draft picks this year.

that would be a complete disaster scenerio with those picks,BOSA will have a hard time in our division with the monster O-LINES he would face and MYLES JACK is not needed if HARBS brings up a SAFETY in the box as another LINEBACKER.worst case scenerio,these picks,

[eze17]

I don't mind Downing"s draft, it has some interesting players, and a few i've considered pretty good choices. plus it fills some of the holes we have, with Bosa and Burns stepping into starter positions, while Shepard, Wright and Beavers competing for quality playing time.

I would consider Mink's draft a disaster. I like Jack, if he can stay healthy. Do we need another questionable 1st round injury pick though? Most of his picks fall into the developmental mode, "well, he MAY be good..." although the guard from LSU sounds good. Some key words he uses: Doesn't make a ton of sense...Doesn't jump off the radar with his athleticism...Season ending knee injury...Production dropped a bit...Yeah, o.k. glad Mink isn't in our FO.

i like downings draft better. now here is my 2 rd. prediction. if ramsey or tunsil falls to us than we will stay at #6 and take one of them. if they are both gone than we will trade back a few spots and draft stanley or leanard floyd. we will than trade up back into the 1st and grab the best available pass rusher if stanley is the pick or the best available lt or cb if floyd is the pick. if we draft tunsil or ramsey i still see us trading up into the late 1st to grab the best available pass rusher. good luck front office and i hope we end up with some long term play makers

[RavensDieHard21]

if only we could mesh these two mocks together lol We would have some realistic picks, but great ones too.

I'd take Bosa, Mac Alexander, Jenkins--only because I see Shepard being gone, Willie Beavers, Willie Henry, Scooby Wright, and Vadal Alexander. if that were to happen I would shut the TV off and yell WINNING! all while I go pick up a new shirt that says 2016--the year of epic redemption.

[757RavensFan]

I like Garrett's mock much better even though I'm not high on Bosa.  Would love to get Scooby Wright in the 4th round.

[ravens4life86]

I like Both Mink and Downing 7 round Mocks..

But lets combine the 2 and create a Perfect 7 round Ravens Mock

Rnd 1-Bosa/Jack DE/Ilbr
Rnd 2-M.Alexander,Artie Burns CBs
Rnd 3-Sterling Shephard Wr
Rnd 4(104) Adam Gotsis DLine
Rnd 4(130) Scooby Wright LBr
Rnd 4(132) Vadal Alexander OG
Rnd 4(134) Rashard Higgins WR
Rnd 6 OT
Rnd 6 Kevin Hogan

[YankeeRaven]

Hoping for a defensive player in the first round like Jalen Ramsey, Joey Bosa or Deforest Buckner, but god forbid its gonna be Ronnie Stanley or Laremy Tunsil.
The second round, Mackensie Alexander, Noah Spence, Artie Burns or William Jackson III would be great.

[sami]

if we draft Tunsil or Stanley they will play Guard for a year or two or until Monroe gets hurt again.

[ellicottraven]

While I really like Mink's draft class, I also believe it is extremely unlikely because most of the players he's slated for us to pick won't be available when he picks them. I believe Garrett's draft while decent has a reach or two but overall attainable in a real draft. Kudos to both for spending exactly 8 minutes each on this wonderful mock draft!

[ravens4life86]

Tunsils stepfather files suit against him...for assault...this dude isnt coming to Baltimore..how much more baggage you need. Jumos from buildings, and countless criminal proceedings pending

[hen826957]

If Garrett believes the Cowboys take Elliott (and l hope they do), the Chargers take Buckner/Tunsil and the Jaguars take Myles Jack/Bosa that leaves Ramsey to slide with the Ravens at 6 and that would be unbelievable pickup and this is possible too. It would be better than both of those picks they chosen.

[RavensDieHard21]

I want ogbah. I know he's not a "first" rounder , but that cat's a raven.

I know everyone likes there specific players but he is a project still and his biggest red flag is that he solely depends on strength rather than technique or hand usage. He is very similar to Upshaw, yet he is far less a force against the run. Raw talent can be there but he is not worth a top of the second round selection.

We would have to have all the cards fall just right to grab Ramsey...I just don't see it happening, but if he was still there I am pretty sure Baltimore would snatch him in a heartbeat. He's probably the most versatile and athletic guy in this draft.

I agree. ? Gotta pray he's there.

[The Greek]

no guarantee we would draft ramsey if he fell to us especially if the fo feels protecting their $120 million qb is more important but we shall see. cannot wait to see what the fo does.

If Ramsey is there at #6 than there is a fair chance that both Tunsil and Stanley are gone.

Tunsil for sure, but I don't see Stanley going in the top 5 unless there's a trade up.

I think Ramsey is the easy choice for Dallas if SD doesn't take him, so I think he's the least likely of all the players we are talking about to be there.

Agreed. I think the mocks made it seem much more likely than it actually is that either Ramsey or Tunsil would fall to us. I would think having either one of them still on the board at #6 would be a huge surprise.
Not at all impossible - or even unlikely - though, of course.

It all depends on what SD does in my opinion. If SD passes on Tunsil, I don't see Dallas or Jacksonville taking one. Doesn't mean a trade-up won't happen, but as it stands now, SD will most likely dictate what direction we go.

If they pass on Tunsil, I expect him to be available at #6. The path to Ramsey being available, however, I think is far, far, far, murkier.

[bioLarzen]

The question I'd love to know the answer to is if there's a player who Ozzie & Co. deems so good that if he was on the board at #6, Oz would turn down any realistic trade offer not to miss out on the guy... Ramsey, Tunsil, or Jack... maybe Bosa?

I will be so happy if we get Tunsil or Ramsey (A+ picks), but I will not be sad about taking the BPA, too.

[Valid1]

Garret's draft is believable and would be a pretty big success for the Ravens if it came to be. Lots of need addressed and high upside guys picked up here.

Mink's draft is bad in about every way it could be. It other words it is very much like everything else to spring from Ryan Mink's mind. Just terrible.

[Popeye the sailor man]

In my opinion it doesn't matter whom the Ravens pick, they all probably be injured in practice by the time the season starts, Ravens the worst team to practice for

[Popeye the sailor man]

The Ravens should be looking for another franchise QB besides Joe Flacco, after Flacco been injured late last season, I'm not sure if he would ever be healthy enough to continued to play for long.

If he swapped Bosa for Jack I would be happy.
