#Bosa

[EdBallhawkReed20]

Mike Mayock you are my best friend. I really hope your analysis comes true for the Ravens. WR should be a top priority when you look at the board considering the board. There are so many defensive players in this draft that we don't need one given when the Ravens pick on clock at #15 assuming we trade back. Josh Doctson will develop into a No.1 receiver, he has great hands, route running, red zone threat, fights for the ball. We don't have that receiver outside of Smith. Who know one seems to acknowledge is leaving next year. You can't keep picking up vet WR's forever (Mason, Boldin, and Smith), so let break that trend in this years draft.

#33 or #36 is going to be a top notch CB period. Its idiotic to draft Ramsey when all the other CB's will more than likely be on the board. All the top Wr will go right before the CB's. There is no chance of you getting a special talent outside of playing the game of luck in the mid rounds. Three Ints, I'm sorry he is just not worth it. I would honestly draft Buckner over Ramsey looking at the board when the Ravens pick overall. Bosa won't start over Sizzle or Dumervil so he is not a day 1 starter. All I'm saying is this get, great talent where great talent is available across the board. Not in getting Ramsey and you have look around at who to get when all the talent picked up around you is CB with your #33 #36 pick. Do what makes the most sense Ravens please.

Here are my picks
#15 Josh Doctson Best WR in the draft
#33 Noah Spence or Myles Jack
#36 Artie Burns
3rd or 4th Jaylon Smith drafting the top OLB for the future considering we can because we don't need him to play this year. Especially if we draft Noah Spence or Jack.

Don't go for one player when we can legitly come away with a group of future starters on offense and defense!

[cushrinada1986]

If buckner. bosa, and ramsey gone by 6, they try to trade back and get extra picks. gets doctson with their 1st. Maybe even Williams III

Mentioned earlier, but couple problems I have here:

1. You're focusing way too much on getting a week 1 starter... its not that important. It doesn't matter if Bosa would start or not, and its also very presumptive to assume that an aging Suggs will be a full-time player coming off an achilles tear.

2. I don't expect Spence or Jack to be available in the 2nd round.

3. You actually can keep picking up vet WRs forever... but we also have Perriman, so he's not the only guy. If you want to focus on long-term, there's practically no chance we'd be able to keep both Perriman and Doctson if they both produce well after their rookie deal, so one of those guys is gone. 

Plus, what I keep harping to people over and over again... this offense simply isn't going to yield high end production out of probably more than two offensive pass catchers. The volume and consistency isn't there. We've got Perriman, Wallace, Steve Smith, Aiken and potentially 3 TEs who can all catch passes. WR isn't nearly as big of a need, short or long term, as people make it out to be. I'd like to get a receiver in this draft, but not at least until day 2. 

4. None of this matters whatsoever if we can't get consistent protection for Joe. Doctson ain't catching nothing if we can't protect him, and that starts at LT, where we haven't had stability at any point in Joe's career.

I'm not passing on a really high quality LT if its me. No guarantee one will be there, but we will see what happens.

[ravens4life86]

I look at 3 guys.. Mel Kiper jr, "The Originator of The mock draft/scout experience" Baltimores own.. has very good sources inside Ravens
He Says Bosa

Peter King, probably the National guy I repect most...
He says Bosa

Jeremiah former Raven scout..
He says Tunsil


My opinion..Tunsil way to much baggage, Im leaning towards Defensive gamechanger. Bosa,Jack, Ramsey,Lawson,Floyd etc

[The Negotiator]

Elliott will be the pick if they stay at 6. I will be happy with who ever we get

Are are you serious? If they Ravens do what you want the Ravens to do they should be fired period. Why on earth we draft Josh Doctson at any point in the first round we got plenty of recievers for now. We need passrushers, corners, OT, etc. Did we just sign Mike Wallace during the offseason? No way l would draft Buckner over Ramsey if he's still on the board. Ramsey is a star potential player in the secondary with Jimmy Smith; Buckner is just Chris Canty. Myles Jack won't be there in the 2nd round but Jaylon Smith might be there in the later rounds.

After taking-in as many rumors as I can for this draft, it seems like the Ravens preference at #6 is:

1) Ramsey
2) Tunsil
3) Bosa
4) Trade-down

[steelcityraven]

OKay... It looks a lot like all of the predictions for the past month or so. Here are my final prediction. I think we trade away our second and one of our 4th round picks to jump ahead of Pittsburgh to steal William Jackson from them in rd 1. giving us 2 first rounders, so here it is:

1. Larmey Tunsil -T- Ole Miss
1 (via trade) William Jackson -CB- Utah
3. Jordan Jenkins -OLB-UGA (6'3 260 4.71 baby suggs)
4. Cyrus Jones -CB- Bamma
4. Stephen Weatherly- DE-Vanderbilt (6'4 267 4.53)
4. Kolby Listenbee-KR- TCU (speed / harbs is a former ST coach)
5. Travis Feeney-OLB-Wash (freak-like Mitchell above)
6. Landon Turner-G-UNC (6'5 330 massive and nasty run blocker)
6. Brandon Chubb-ILB Wake or Reggie Northrup ILB FSU

[The Greek]

looks like we are going to draft paxton lynch than trade him to some desperate team for 3 1st rd. picks a 2nd a 3rd and a 5th. good luck this weekend front office and have a strong draft.

Agreed. 

The only thing I'm not sure about is how much preference there is for Tunsil over Stanley (meaning if we think they are equal, then we could take on or the other).

But in general, I agree. If we don't get one of those three, I think we try to move back. Just don't know how far.

[ellicottraven]

There you have it. I know now, well before the draft Joey Bosa will not be our pick no matter who else is available or not. Why you may ask? Peter King the great Ravens contrarian has predicted that Bosa will be a Raven! Every time Peter King utters something and the Ravens in the same breath, that something has zero probability of happening period!

Instead why don't we just take every injured player a round or two later? In fact if they have a injury or character red flag, we nail him later than their talent level. How about that?

Living in North Carolina myself I am a huge UNC fan. I might be bias in saying this but I believe that in time Landon Turner could be a solid starter in the NFL. Great Pick!

HA-HA! Your dog probably does have the same chance of a prediction as any expert...

Buckner would be a safe, but unspectacular pick. I'd probably rather see them trade back a few spots and get another pick or two. I don't think Spence will be there at our #2 pick, and someone will grab Jaylon Smith way before the 6th round, injuries or not.

This ^ is the best ive read in a while.

[Purple Dawg 96]

CB or Tackle with the #1 pick! And can we please get some Buckeyes! I'm just sayin!

[WNC-Raven]

Well it's almost time for everyone to be proven wrong just like most years. Months discussing the best defensive talent who will take our defense back to greatness, who fits best. And with the #6 pick in the 2016 draft is Ezekiel Elliott. HaHa

[FLBoyRaven]

rd1-- Shaq Lawson
rd2-- Jason Spriggs/Reggie Ragland?
rd3-- Sterling Shepard= Smith Sr. vol.2
rd4-- Xavian Howard/Cyrus Jones
rd4-- Deion Jones
rd4-- Shawn Oakman
rd4-- Paul Perkins

[harfordravenfan]

Longest wait ever!!!!

[Edgar]

Let's. Get it.

[hen826957]

Please jags get Myles Jack. This is close the Ravens can get to have Ra sey here. It would hurt a lot.
