[News] Ravens 2016 Draft Tracker

[dead serious]

WR CHRIS MOORE AT NO. 107

I like this Guy and His attitude.. He has the right Mentality to play in the NFL

Moore said he blew by three different Buckeye cornerbacks that game, including No. 10-overall pick Eli Apple (New York Giants).

“It put that check by my name showing I can go around a first-round draft pick, I can go against the national champion, I can go against the top of the top and play at a high level," Moore said.

As far as an ILB .. Tyler Matakevich of Temple is the Best Available and is rated 142 Overall .. We have the 7th in the 6th round, We get him there that is great value

Scooby Wright for me. Someone text the Oz.

[Raven_Don]

I guess one of the Safeties will drop down and Play the WIL LB since we haven't drafted one... I like the guy from Navy... should be a great return guy... was wondering when we were going to draft a return guy...

That's what my first thought was. A return guy. Drafted as a WR but this kid has the vision and speed to break on for a TD. Solid pick IMO.

[dead serious]

This guy has to Serve in the Navy for 2 years before he is gonna be able to really Play... SMH .. Dont expect to see much of him too soon.. He is a Great Player and definitely a Game Changer, But the Military has Dibs on him

Yes,  saw that reference this morning. I guess he will not count against the 53 man roster or practice squad. At least, I hope.

Clearly the Ravens have him poorly graded on their board that they wouldn't take a flier on him with the last pick. Probably didn't check out medically.

Expect them to line up a bunch of UDFAs to compete at that position. Or they could trade back into the 7th if there's someone they still like available, like they did for Camp. there will also be guys cut after the draft so we may snag one of those. Having just one hole after the draft isn't such a big deal.

[dead serious]

Just got our return Guy for the Next 2 years until Reynolds is released from the Militarys Grasp, lol

Canady has prototypical size for what the Ravens want in their outside cornerbacks and can also contribute on special teams as a return man. Canady returned punts throughout his career, and he took one back for a 74-yard touchdown last season.

All in all a very solid draft from Oz et al. Time to support our guys in all ways possible. Training camp will be interesting. Can't wait.

FO is trying to find a future leader for our defense (and team) by drafting high character players who eventualy may become an examble of hard work and Ravens Football. Out of Suggs and SSS we have no inspiring leaders.

[designermaryland]

To me, I think this entire draft was botched again by the FO. Staley is fine, since you know Monroe will be out after 2 series even if they keep him. But they continue to draft in the early rounds in positions where the rookies will sit or be limited snaps, while the positions of weakness are drafted in later rounds. Makes no sense to me to be drafting a DE, DL an OL which will be rotational players or backups when you need a quality starting ILB or CB. They also continue to draft WR's when we have 10 of them on the roster. They selected the 20 & 23rd best ranked CB on the board and allowed 14 CB's to be drafted before they selected one. For me, that is valuing that position WAY too low.

I probably would have held off on the WRs and RB in favor of additional defensive pieces, but I get it -- these guys are playmakers.  I also don't hate the idea of another guy who can open the top off defenses in case Perriman doesn't pan out. I think a few teams reached for CB early even when they weren't the best players available and in total are being graded as having poor draft days even though they filled an immediate need. We stuck to our draft board and came away with some big pieces of the puzzle. Yes we ended up with a CB lower in the draft than a lot of us hoped and an ILB never made it to the top of our board. But in total I think we are going to look back at this draft as a big reloading of defense.

And he still has 8 picks to work with. If he can come away with a corner and ILB who will make the team he has reloaded pretty nicely.

 

i don't know why WR is listed as a "need" on the PFT and others lists though. If someone good falls to us, sure, but right now it looks pretty crowded with SSSr, Perriman, Wallace, Aiken, Camp, Matthews, M Brown, Hunter, D Brown, Jacobs, Clay and (if he's not a TE) Waller. Anyone we draft is going to need to be stowed on the PS because it would be tough to make the field behind the first 4.

No we needed a receiver from this draft but we didn't get the right one. SSSr is old and ready to retire, Perriman needs to show me something this season, Wallace is a good pickup, Aiken is proven but he's a #2 to 3 at best, M Brown is struggling and has a slight chance of getting cut, Camp can't stay health to save his life, Matthews is a nice big body receiver but its a reason he was cut from a WR needy Seahawks at that time, D Brown showed little flashes and Butler showed the most promise to me out of our younger WRs. The rest of those guys are trash. I would've liked a corner though instead of Chris Moore and then picked up Rashard Higgins.

[law215]

Ravens entered the draft with several needs. LT,CB, Pass rusher, and Wr. Stanley and Lewis will solidify the offensive line. Correa, Kaufusi, Judon, and Henry add pass rushers. Moore, Dixon, Reynolds were productive playmakers in college. My concern is I don't think they did enough in the secondary. They may have to add a veteran CB and/or S after cuts. Disappointed they passed on some defensive guys that I thought would help, but the guys they drafted may take the spot of guys they have. Some potential cuts are Monroe, M. Brown, Lewis Moore, maybe Campanero, and 2 RBs. They used all 11 picks without taking any risky player (character or physical issues). That's a rebuild mentality. Hope it works out.

I am not a fan of reaching for players either... They tried to trade up for Ramsey... didn't get him... tried to trade back into the first one to get another corner... didn't get him... so what exactly do you want them to do??? select a corner that doesn't fit what they want to do defensively??? Every player selected meets an area of need... then you gotta realize that you have players who need to be developed for next year when you have people that are up coming free agents... i.e Zadarius was drafted to replace McPhee and will also replace Upshaw... so you gotta plan for the future... there were only two LB that made sense to draft... Darron Lee or Miles Jack... they could have played opposite of Mosley... we need an ILB that can cover and allow Mosley to blitz and stuff the run rather than have him in coverage... that what we need and that player wasn't there other than Jack... and after Perriman... I understand their reluctance to draft him after the injury filled season that they had... so I think we will be fine... they will find a player...

[p sizzle]

Solid draft. Great job Oz & crew. Not sure why so many Ravens "fans" complaining. This is who the Ravens are (if you don't like it, root for another team). Get after the passer (Correa, Kaufusi, Judon), stop the run (Henry), solid pass coverage (Young, Canady), protect the QB (Stanley, Lewis), offensive playmakers with a nose for the endzone (Moore, Dixon, Reynolds) ... This is how you win consistently in the NFL.

[BMoreDuck]

Oz has past his prime and DeRosta is out of his element. The FO had a ton to work with in this draft and didn't utilize it. There are maybe two or three guys in this draft that will make an impact and I'm not quite sure if the impact will be great. Where Oz used to be playing chess, he is now playing checkers. The FO has drafted poorly the last handful of years, have made terrible contractual deals that have put us in the hole as far as cap space goes. They've put dead money into guys who barely play because they are constantly fighting injuries. I could go on, but I think the point is clear. The FO is no longer ahead of the curve.

 

Pease should've been replaced years ago. For a team that's known for D, the D has been rather pedestrian lately. I love this team, but some changes need to be made in the hierarchy. The Ravens were set up in this draft to really add some key, young components, but the FO got a bunch of guys who will most likely be on the practice squad. I usually try to be optimistic and have faith in Oz and Co, but they've lost their edge imo. Time for some change Steve.

 

At least we might have a chance at getting Myles Garrett next year, but Ozzie would probably just trade back for a few 5th round picks. Lol.

[law215]

There are a few of players I hope Ravens get undrafted. S Cash or Powell,Shumate, LB Norris or Striker, or CB Crawley, and to me FB Hicks (reminds me of Leach) would be an asset. Put him in front of any of our RB in short yard or goal line and our 3rd down conversion and redzone TD percentage go up. I like juice but he is not physical in short yard situations. Ravens kick way too many FGs in goaline situations.

I would agree some what with both of you on this, The Ravens look to be in a position now to have to pick up a CB in a trade or cap casualty, maybe have to take a chance on a veteran who another team thinks may not have enough left in the tank. It could be risky but its probably better than what they have done in the past 3-5 years, which is much of the time, field a team of under achievers who could not compete with top NFL wide receivers in the first place.

good points, I agree look for a CB search by the Ravens. That probably will complete their cap space and work out all the deals. So its feasible that they could find a decent CB available to bring aboard. Maybe work a tradefor some of these young guys, or some of the "potential cuts" as you call them. They may have value to other teams. I woudl try something like that if I were Decosta, he seems to be a pretty good trade wizard, then take it to OZ and Harbs and see if it will work in the scheme. Package a Deal with Campanero and Lewis Moore for a CB...that works. They have talent and could do very well given the right situation.

[WordProphet]

I can't understand why the problems in the secondary could not have been taken care of first, for our secondary was horrific for the last few years, I hope those positions are covered this year because if not, we may be looking at another 5-11 season this year!!! We have problems that are not just OL and DL related, many times last year coverage in the secondary broke down and the other team produced touchdowns while our secondary was just standing around looking, like the k-stone cops use to say, which way do we go!!! It's not funny but that's how bad they looked, and all the other teams in the NFL knew it but us, because our secondary has been horrific for a few years now and the FO don't seem to care or else can't see it!!! But August and September will be here real soon, and we will find out what the real deal is with the Ravens, be it good or bad, but as I always say, GO RAVENS!!!
