Ravens select CB Maurice Canady UVA

Good pick . He can  play safety , cornerback, and has kick/punt return experience. I figure he would be on The Ravens radar 

[ratedr]

Now the wait for UDFA.

And that's (likely) the end of the draft for the Ravens.  Bring on the UDFAs!

Do they have to wait for the 7th to end to start calling?

[flynismo]

Welp, I'm pretty sure Ozzie and Eric just trolled us hard with the Canady pick. Straight to practice squad type player

Probably.

I'm absolutely amazed by the Jaguars draft, not just the first three picks EVERY pick. Incredible.

Yep. I hate the Jags now (living in Jags land and all).

Elliott is getting that award behind that OL in that high-profile city. You just know it.

I said competing lol I know he won't win it. Baltimore is too low profile and we aren't a flAshy enough offense. I think he is legit though.

[Grapple Raven]

Lions select LS Jimmy Landes

[VeiledPsychosis]

Looking back at our draft I'm pretty happy with it

Nah they've probably already been on the phones recruiting.

Is it as bad as Tampa Bay? or Miami?

Yeah, you know it. We have no chance at that award unless we got him and even then I dunno. I like Dixon a lot. I think he could do great things here.

Correa is 6'2" 240 and very athletic, we didn't take an ILB - do you think we have plans on scooting him inside permanently? We did take another OLB in Judon anyway

I'm worried that most of our draft is, I hope we look back on this thinking "wow this was a great draft" instead of "hey whatever happened to those guys?"

Cowboys select S Kavon Frazier

We'll let them know, but I won't be asking for your autograph anytime soon!

yeah, I got off the field issues too. If I get on the field and play one down, I will probably be off the field for a long time recovering from a broken everything. That's a problem.

I think Correa is best as an OLB in either scheme. I don't like him much as an ILB in the 3-4 nor as a MLB in the 4-3. I think he could play 4-3 DE if he got stronger, but right now he's not there.

B- If our 2nd round pick turns out to be a NFL caliber pass rusher, which is still up in the air. We didn't manage to improve our secondary and outside of Stanley, Henry and Dixon, everyone seems like a project or gamble. I do think, however, that Stanley and Dixon could start right away and be great.

[Grapple Raven]

Nice PR package the NFL is doing on Keenan Reynolds right now!

[edthehead]

is there anyway to end the draft 

U VA  , Cavalier  

wahoos  !!!!!!!

what a fantastic draft,, 

canady go make us proud

[Static]

Who needs Linebackers. Should be fun watching Art Brown or Zach Orr AR ILB.

[Grapple Raven]

SF selects WR Aaron Burbridge

[spitfire418]

Not the worst draft ever. A little above average in my opinion and I thought we could've done better, but I like some of the guys we got today. The pick that I'm still scratching my head on is the Tavon Young one in the early 4th. I haven't really scouted him yet, but I don't see why we'd take a 5'9 corner that high in the draft who doesn't even seem all that good. I love the Keenan Reynolds pick. Also, why is Tyvis Powell still there and why didn't we and nobody else take him yet? I really wanted him and would've been ecstatic to get him this late in the draft. Trade back in please?

[jazz1988]

Wow Vadal Alexander is literally still there along with Landon Turner.

[Grapple Raven]

The unmentionables select LB Elandon Roberts

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

I will release my draft grades for this when finished. But overall it'll be positive. I didn't love every pick but that's whatever.

When you get hired as a GM and run your own team you can make all the choices you like. Until then you can practice doing that on Madden.
