The only pressure I see, is the gamble, in what order we select our players. Whom do we select first and risk leaving on the board for our next pick? Please don't trade out, there are many talents to be had!

[ellicottraven]

I don't see any pressure for 4th round picks if I didn't see them pressured in their 3 choices in the first 3. They're just going to re-stack their board based on needs and talent levels, trade out of a few picks for 2017 picks. Remember they just have 1 comp pick next year. Pile on a few more red star players that we've heard of minimally and be excited about their picks while the rest of us sit in gloom.

But know this, every time we are excited about our picks, the picks seem to fizzle out and crash. Case in point Elam and Brown. So, let's just put faith in Eric and Ozzie and see who they select. I suspect we'll select no more than 4-5 players out of the 8 available and trade out for 2017 picks with the rest.

Incorrect on 4th round picks that can be traded. 130 can also be traded because it is not a compensatory pick.

I agree.... they have been drafting great!

I believe that starting this year, compensatory picks can be traded.

I would add a Brandon Williams potential replacement with the 104th - Andrew Billings.

[ravens4life86]

Here we go..30 mins away

5 picks in rnd 4 make it count
Still need ILBr,WR(s),CB

Some of the names..WR Rachard Higgins,Jalin Marshall, Keyarris Garrett,Malcom Mitchel,Pharoah Cooper

Ilbr..Scooby Wright,Kendrell Brothers, Bj Goodson, Golson,etc

CB..zach Sanchez,Dj White,J.Jones, etc

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

Just pick your players Oz and DeCosta...

[Ravensfansince03]

I hope they use all 5 picks.

[Ravensfansince03]

Only bad thing about picking 4-5 guys in the 4th round is that all of the guys will feel like they deserve the same contract amount.

[stixfix69]

The beauty of the first 3 picks is Stanley pretty much has the most pressure to get the starting LT gig, where as the other two have the luxury to watch and learn from two stud OLBer's in Doom, and Suggs, and lets not forget Z.Smith from last year had 6 sacks as a rook....

[jpboechat]

I'm cheering for us to get a good ILB (Joshua Perry, Scooby Wright), and also WR Aaron Burbridge. There's OG Vadal Alexander who'd be good for depth too.
The one thing I wanted was us to get Cyrus Jones in the third round, but the Patriots went for him in the second :/

[ellicottraven]

You know the strange part of this entire draft so far. When we drafted Stanley I wasn't too excited. But at the end of day two, the one pick I'm really excited about right now is Stanley. How a day can change the entire perception of a draft is so strange.

[Griffman]

Totally agree with Westerman with first pick

 

[ravens4life86]

Alright 104 and 107..ILBr,WR,CBs

[Moderator 3]

Come join your fellow fans to discuss all the Day 3 action In our live draft thread

[ravens4life86]

Tavon Young CB.. OK. Good. Now WR/ILBR at 107

[ravens4life86]

107..WR/ILBr

[jboy19]

Not a fan of the Chris Moore pick, I'd be surprised if he makes the team.

[ravens4life86]

Another Vertical threat...Chris Moore... Good. Hopefully thats not because Perriman isnt looking good.. and moreso..just because he was best WR on their board

[ravens4life86]

So far Im pleased..CB Tavon Young, and another Vertical threat Chris Moore Wr.

3 picks left...still need ILBr..Hopefully Wright,Brothers,Goodson etc are all still around.
Then last 2 picks maybe go OL depth, and CB/WR again

[law215]

Why not Listenbee there?

[SeeYou]

Not a fan of the Chris Moore pick, I'd be surprised if he makes the team.

I agree.

1. Steve Smith
2. Breshad Perriman
3. Kamar Aiken
4. Mike Wallace
5. Marlon Brown
6. Michael Campanaro
7. Chris Matthews

WR was not a need but a luxury pick

[ravens4life86]

Both Young,and Moore are making the team..@jboy. Everybody calm down. On paper.."which is all we have right now" the draft has been great. Stanley is not sexy, but you need LTs. But then back 2 back pass rush, an corner and vertical wr.

I like. Now go get a ILBr, before there gone.. and maybe another WR/CB

[Raven_Don]

Not crazy about either pick so far... feel like we reached on both picks...but what do I know... Chris Moore smh... I don't think he's better than what we currently have love what Butler brought to the table last year...

[Raven_Don]

Thought they would select a WR with return ability... but what do I know... that's why I watch the games...

[Raven_Don]

Really like the day two picks... day three has started off in the wrong direction...

[ravens4life86]

I really like day 2,3 picks so far.. especially the 2 pass rushers.. Kenneth Dixon, Vert Wr.
Still need a ILBr..hopefully at 146...Ozzie grabs scooby wright, Brothers etc
