That's not it. Just the anticipation and hoping a guy falls. Man, it sucks. I'm so nervous lol. 

I love the pick of Stanley. Just nervous about Spence or Dodd falling to us.

Spence all day. I'm going to go ape spit if he goes right before us and we dont trade up, or if hes on the board and we dont take him. He WILL be the best pure edge rusher in this draft.

[PuRock]

All I know, is the Alabama guys better get drafted soon.  Ozzie can't help himself.  

[GrimCoconut]

Phew. Things continue to fall our way. Wow.

[ludy51]

Nice!

Shoot - is jack still on the board too? That knee must be much worse than expected. Might be too risky to take him in the 2nd..

Alexander is falling as I expected, but i might take him with a 2nd if Spence isnt there. Dodd might be a good pick if Spence isnt there too. I almost want us to trade up so A) I know we get the guy that we (really I) want and B ) I dont have to wait until tomorrow.

i don't think him still being around means his knee is worse than we expect, it's just that it's a question mark, teams don't want to gamble in the first, maybe not even in the early second. I have a feeling that if we're taking an ILB we'll go Ragland if he's available

And a whole bunch of Ravens fans exhale.

If they get past Carolina and Seattle, I'm comfortable thinking at least one of the two will be there at 36. Which would get me even more jacked up than I am already.

[Cville-Raven]

We're looking good 

[RaineV1]

I think the Panthers had bigger needs elsewhere, but I do really like Butler as a player. He has a very high ceiling.

[ravefan52]

Gentleman always goes BPA. I love Butler

[ALI624]

Offensive line Seattle come on baby!

lmao so true

[GrimCoconut]

I hope we're on the phone with Seattle trying to trade up using one of those 4th rounders because I would love to get Spence or Dodd on a 5th year option.

I can't tell you how much I hate that Ragland is still available.  We don't need that possibility of temptation lol

[VeiledPsychosis]

Don't love that pick by Gettleman, they have so many pieces up front, they just don't need Butler, they need a CB or OT

How so? The Titans traded up and STILL took Conklin over Tunsil, we did the right thing. 

Cant say we did the right thing until it plays out. If Tunsil becomes a perennial All Pro and it turns out that video was from 5 years ago - wrong move.

[RaineV1]

Seattle is going to take Spriggs I think. Or Alexander.

[ellicottraven]

I think we'll have a choice between Henry, Noah and Alexander and that will make me really happy.

[JO_75]

Seattle Seahawks picks is in.... I wonder if they take Noah Spence here ahead of us, maybe Dodd or Whitehair to replace Okung.

[MTRavensFan]

Can someone explain why we pick @5 in round 2, and Jags pick 7th?  Some kind of trade earlier? 

[ALI624]

Spriggs maybe?

Conversely, he could never finish a full season due to injury and his off the field history follows him and he faces suspensions.

Same records rotate each round

Teams with tied records switch off in different rounds.

[PuRock]

I Could see Ozzie's board looking like this right now:

1) A Robinson

2) J Reed

3) R Ragland

4) C Jones

5) N Spence

6) K Dodd

Same records rotate each round.  Plays off strength of schedule in first round only.

I dont think we'll take Ragland... We're considering playing a safety at ILB to get quicker and better coverage at the position. Ragland, while a great player, intelligent, leader, etc... isnt the most pure athlete and doesnt excel in coverage.

Though a middle linebacker from Bama - I wouldnt write it off.

[ludy51]

I'm loving the way the second round is shaping up

I think they alternate picks because of records.

We were all 5-11.  Everyone rotates each round.
