Is it as bad as Tampa Bay? or Miami?

Where I live, there's a good mix of all 3 of them, but I see Jags fans the most. Some of my friends who like the Jags gave me a hard time after the MNF game in 2011 and that debacle last season. The rest of them are so innocent, it just irks me for whatever reason lol. EVERY Jags fan I talked to before the draft WANTED Myles Jack badly and for them to get one player I really wanted (Ramsey) one pick before us and the other (Jack) from trading up with us just makes me sick.

When you get hired as a GM and run your own team you can make all the choices you like.

Maybe I will one day.

They were also the team that stopped Baltimore from getting an expansion team, so instead we had to hijack the Browns. I would have much preferred to have started with a brand new franchise. Florida already has the Phins and Bucs and if I am correct I think attendance for the Jags isn't all that wonderful. I also get the Carolina thing, untapped market and has regional implications with both North and South Carolina.

All the Ravens do is sell out.

I love Jacksonville's draft.  Absolutely killed it.  Two guys I really wanted.  Still can't believe we passed on Jack...

Sounds good man, I wish you luck in that. If you are ever looking for a scout for your front office let me know. I've got a good 4 eyes for talent.

Or if you like the sounds of my own scouting report on myself and need an old, slow FB with questionable hands you know where to find me.

I'll admit, I didn't watch football that much until my very late teens, but how quickly do I forget that the Ravens and Jags were former division rivals as well.

I hope so. If it's for Tyvis Powell

I can, we must not have liked what we saw with Jack's knee. We had to know when we made that trade with them that the Jags would take Jack. It was a risk our team wasn't willing to make with a high second round pick. The Jags are in a bit of a different situation and I really hope Ramsey and Jack pan out for them. They need some things to go right for them.

Well they're still a .500 team this year at least but they're ascending, they picked up potentially 5 starters who are gamewreckers. You might have a bandwagon next year.

[spitfire418]

I hate the Steelers...

[EdTheMythicalOne]

I am just wondering something. We took two RB's late in the draft with Dixon and the "slash" Reynolds. Dallas said they didn't want to really make the trade with us because they thought we'd take Elliott. Ravens say they wanted Ramsey. Wonder if we will ever know the truth?

[GrimCoconut]

There goes my boy Aaron Wallace. I really liked what I saw from him while watching Jack.

[allblackraven]

And Pittsburgh had to take Feeney....

I don't think Reynolds is a RB. We announced him as a WR and Mayock seems to liken him to Edelman, so it makes sense. I think this puts heat on Campanaro if anything.

Reynolds won't be running back in Baltimore - slot receiver / punt returns battle with Campanaro

We're just a couple minutes away from the start of the Ravens' post-draft presser.

Yep... Makes me hate them more now. After they took Sean Davis yesterday, I was so mad I didn't even know what to do.

Yea i mean I understand it,  obviously we didn't clear him because he was a huge need and a huge talent.  Just hurts.  He was my main guy.   Then to see them Get ngakoue,  another one of my guys... Just very jealous at the moment.

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?"

No, our draft was the best in years. In fact, this draft -- no exageration at all -- would not surprise me if it produces five starters inside of the next two years. It was that good.

Unfortunately, you cant knock it out of the park every time, and this kid with his 10 TDs given up (and 3 INTs) is an example of that

Just stay healthy... That's enough heat

I doubt it tbh. Also Reynolds really isn't a RB, at least not in the traditional sense. He'll be a slot receiver who can run the wild cat and return punts.

Be jealous when their W-L record is better than ours or they beat us in the playoffs or something because of these picks.

Three teams pissed me off in this draft. The Jags, Cowboys, and Steelers of course.

Reynolds has questionable hands and fumble issues. He's also tiny and not really all that fast. Not sure how well he'd do as a WR or RB. And he won't be pushing anybody for a job because I think he's got to go serve for 2 years at least first before he can do reserve status?

[KDUBB44]

Very surprised to see Mills, Cash, Peake, and Allen still there....

I really like Camp. He showed something in that one game he played before he got hurt AGAIN. I wish the guy could stay on the field because I think he's exactly what the Ravens were hoping for. That pesky slot underneath guy that may not wow you all the time, but just keeps picking up first downs on those third and 7's or 8's.

I think it's his break tackle rate that got him drafted, he's elusive.

I really hope so, it's a confusing draft but I trust Ozzie knows more than we do.
