2016 Draft Rounds 2 & 3 "Game Thread"

[BBoogieMan]

Harlan Miller out of SE LA and Maurice Canady out of VA could be CB target tomorrow.

Higgins and Cooper maybe WR targets

Westerman at OG is good value at this point

I assume you're referring to Justin Simmons? If so I agree. I was hoping we had a shot at him in the 4th

Uh, yeah. Simmons. Lol. He's the guy the Broncos just took. I didn't spell the name wrong or anything. Kinda confused here, but I agree--I hoped we'd have him in the 4th.

We've lost the edge. We always go for quantity over quality. What's the point of having lots of picks and taking a gamble on them. I'd rather take fewer players earlier. Take the quality and not hope for the best. But, the organization has changed.... Don't know if its Decosta or Harbaugh's influence.

I'm rough on Ozzie but I really think this is Decostas bs!! Ozzie was all about impact players in the draft and free agency. Since Decosta came aboard ravens have not made any splashes. Role players and old players. Ozzie and Billick were about impact. To bad Joe Cool came after billick. Billick would of won 3 championships with a franchise qb.Decosta did not even want to move up to get Joe cool. He was content to draft the next best qb if he was taken.  Harbs is a puppet that applauds management's every move. The slower fans will not catch on til ravens have 3 consecutive double digit losing seasons. If ravens lost Dodd he was content to take the next best. And often the difference between the player you want and next best is vast!! Not to Decosta

Both DTs went today 

Yeah, just saw Valentine going, too. Too early for him, I think.

I regret the amount of time I wasted scouting prospects especially Bosa.

It's going to be hard watching so many of these defenders go on to have great careers.

[RaineV1]

Sucks that I have to work tomorrow and will probably miss the final day of the draft.

The player we pick will have been higher on our board

You only said his last name. Im at work now and my phone isn't loading the NFL site so I couldn't check the draft tracker. Maybe there was another simmons I didn't know of idk lol

[redlobster]

One of the worst drafts I've watched for the Ravens imo 

[beanfigger]

This day was not fun for me. The draft is supposed to be fun, but it was just bleh. Too bad. Maybe we'll land five gems next round.

[spitfire418]

Well... Not happy after tonight. First of all, I HATE the Steelers so much! Sean Davis is one of my guys man and he goes to them?! I'm so mad about that. Second of all, I know Jack has an injury issue, but we had a chance to take one of the most talented players to ever enter the draft, but instead we trade back for a 5th round pick... and let the Jaguars screw us over like they did in the first. Also, I wish the Cowboys would've taken our trade offer last night, but whatever. Correa and Kaufusi weren't horrible picks in my opinion, but there were some other players I would've rather had. The only good thing from tonight is that we got two more draft picks and two decent players, but man... I'm not too happy with how the night went.

That's kind of how I'm feeling.  I don't have a problem with Correa or Kaufusi, but I just feel underwhelmed, ya know?  Nothing really exciting about any of our players.  Doesn't mean they won't be good, of course.

[Edgar]

If we can get ..Tavon young, Charles Tapper, Joe Schobert, Tyrone Holmes and Christian Westerman (and we can probably get a few of them) we might have a nice little 4th round.

Maybe Charone ne Peake

And the after-draft excitement. Usually there are players people get excited about - hey, this guy is going to improve this way or that way. He's going to make a difference because of this or that. None of that here and we're already to rd 4. Sad sad day.

[thieverycorporation]

As usual this draft lacked high level brand recognition. Ozzie style to me Sucks. He hoards low level/small school quality and refuses to infuse our program with proven on tape higher profile talent. They better nail the fourth or they will be in the basements subfloor. Most uninspired draft I've ever witnessed. It's a lot of bull to keep saying best player available. Thats a crock. Who's left worth talking about?

Well, I think next season will be 7-9, so 2/3 of the way there. Some teams got multiple starters, we got 1 starter and 2 situational guys. I don't think I can sit through this again. I was so excited and optimistic about this draft and now just feel deflated (no pun intended). Oh well.

[RaineV1]

I want Eric Murray in the 4th. Not a flashy pick, but he's a solid CB that works hard.

this is my point every year we pick all these players and half of them are gone

it frustrating cause you see players going and then gone,

we take no chance, this mentality of taking angelic type players 

DO NOT WIN GAMES, 

you need players that live on the edge a little 

I love my team and been a fan since we came home to baltimore,

but the direction we are going is not good,

no fist bump, no justifying, just no excuses

we needed players that make plays,

correa = all mountain 2nd team, and you all are happy, really

kaufusi = what is the deal with mormons and surgery

this do not smell like flowers,

be honest, 

even stanley has no energy,

Exactly, boring draft just like last year. Perriman was kind of exciting??? But I'm still not over taking him over Byron Jones... and now Sean Davis... oh boy. Last exciting draft and decent draft we had was in 2014 with Mosley and the others.

[GrimCoconut]

My biggest gripe was that we have all these picks but didn't trade up using them. It's not like it would've been that hard to trade up as we actually saw teams giving up picks to move into the back-end of the 2nd, so I am not buying Ozzie's story about not being able to move up. What that translates to is that we didn't want to pay the price, which didn't seem to be that expensive to me. Then again, I will say that some of the worst picks I can recall were a result of a trade up, so there's that.

[TurkishRaven]

we could have picked cravens with second and move up from 3rd to pick yannick ngakoue, that would give us 3 starters i guess.

 

[spitfire418]

Sorry guys, but I'm just about done with Ozzie. Also, fire Pees already, he's absolute garbaaage. Ugh...

It strikes me as safe, in a sense.  I'm not saying to go gung ho on some serious risks, but no playmaker types.  Solid, hard working guys it seems.

Yes because Pees sabotaged the draft.

[Static]

Trading down is a good tool but if the players in the 2nd weren't worth picking why would they be worth picking in the 4th.

[ravensdfan]

And oh now I just come across this nugget:

 

 

Quote

 

As analysts around the league debate who got the better end of the Titans-Rams trade, and now the more recent Browns-Eagles trade, I can give you the definitive answer.

It’s the Ravens.

While they officially hold the No. 6 spot in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Ravens are in position one of their top-four players because quarterbacks are now virtually guaranteed to be selected with the top two picks.

Oh, and Baltimore is going to get an absolute stud."

 

Wow.

I'd agree in that we didn't want to pay the price.  It's been said that we offered a 4th to move up with Dallas to get Ramsey.  That just wasn't going to get it done.  I'm sure there were moved to be made, evidenced by NO moving up for Bell.  I just don't think we offered enough to make it worth their while.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

So heres the deal. We gave up on Noah Spence, to get Correa and a 5th rounder. Is that a deal you do as GM? Me, No
