Really hoping we grab Drew Morgan (Arkansas) in 6-7th round or UDFA. Kid plays with more heart than I've seen in a long time and fights for every yard.

Is he eligible?

This was his senior year.

Oh cool, I didn't know him when I saw him pop all over the tape when I was watching Sprinkle. Thought he was a freshman on their team.

Chris Godwin WR Penn st declared early for the draft. Wouldn't mind him for the 3rd or 4th round. He seems like the type of receiver harbaugh was talking about at his season ending press conference

After spitting in a Va Tech player's face during the bowl game, I'll pass 100% on Morgan, not interested in a guy dumb enough to do that, football or not, have the common decency to not do that. I'd rather be punched in the face than spit in the face.

Wasn't expecting Noah Brown to enter. I haven't studied him but he's really talented and I've seen some really impressive plays from him

[hn68wb4]

Chad Hansen is an interesting prospect at WR, declared early the other day and from what I've seen I like.

Two names that I haven't seen mentioned but would help the Ravens immensely are Malachi Dupre from LSU and Isaiah Ford from Virginia Tech. Dupre is a big bodied receiver 6'3 190 who could help with Joe out when Joe throws a jump ball, while Ford is 6'2 187 and a little bit faster who could be our new slot receiver.

Was wondering when he was going to be discussed. Little surprised he's being placed in those rounds. He abused Adoree' Jackson in the Rose Bowl. From what I saw, Godwin looks really good. Good size, strong, good route runner, good speed, really good hands. Would love it if we could get him in rounds 3 or 4

I don't see Ford in the slot, he's the prototypical outside WR imo. I love his skill set though, would absolutely jump on him if he's there in the 3rd.

After tonight, I'm praying Mike Williams falls to us at 16. Big bodied WR to go with speedy Perriman sets up Joe nicely.

He ain't you can throw that out the window after today! Top 10 most def might have to move up to get him

im pretty sure he was going top 10 anyway, but even if he makes it out of the top 10 there's no way he makes it past both the eagles and the titans to get to us

Just to be on the safe side, let's leak a video of him doing something illegal on draft night 😉

Mike Williams or Corey Davis would do wonders for our offense

[GrimCoconut]

I'll admit the whole game I was wondering what was up with Williams but after taking a punishment all game he finally shook off the beating and made some huge plays only he could make. He's insanely good.

i was sure he was concussed at one point coz he took a hammering and came up woozy - either the medical staffs whiffed or he has a head made of titanium - he took an absolute pounding and essentially broke the game open for the tigers

[ravensnation5220]

What do you guys think of Dareus Rogers WR USC. He's 6-1 215 so he has good size and seems to have very reliable ball skills. Fits the mold of "possession reciever" just haven't heard much from him. He's really been flying under the radar and I like what I see. He fights for the ball and most importantly for a receiver, he uses his HANDS to catch the ball.

JuJu in the 2nd realistic?

Not really. This class isn't very top heavy and He's probably the 3rd best receiver in the draft. Someone will like his skill set and take him earlier

I think it's very realistic, but it'll all depend on his combine/pro day results. If his speed checks out as poor as expected then I can definitely see him slip moreso than he already has. I've warmed up to him recently and think he can get some separation in the short field that some don't give him enough credit for, but he is what he is, I don't think his ceiling is very high compared to some other receivers in the class. We can't definitively say he's the 3rd guy coming off the board behind Williams and Davis as I believe that at least one WR will rise based almost solely on the combine and pre-draft workouts, how high they'll go is anyone's guess, but every year one guy jumps up the board - last year it was Fuller, year before it was Perriman, and so on. And, of course, the flip side also happens, guys bomb the combine and tumble like Treadwell, he was supposed to be a lock for the first WR taken and ended up being the 4th, probably mainly to do with his speed concerns.

Haven't we wasted enough 2nd round picks? Dude looks like Jaelen Strong 2.0

I disagree. He's legit. This squad whiffs on every WR and every 2nd rounder by over thinking this stuff. Look at his film he's a football player.

Alabama's ArDarius Stewart has declared for 2017 draft. RS sophomore only but since he is a father of two and apparently got a 2nd round grade, he wanted to do it while he is 100% healthy and not risk injury.

Pretty useful guy. He can get open and makes lot of YAC. Good hands and is tough guy, will fight for the ball. Can return kicks and blocks well, too. If he played in a different system, I think there would be lot more talk about him. 

[JoeyFlex5]

syracuse wr amba etta-tawo looks good. reminds me a whole lot of alshon jeffrey and a bit of kelvin benjamin, not too fast but big bodied and long as hell, tracks and adjusts well to the deep ball, powerful and doesnt let db's get to the ball as he boxes out and holds firm while the ball arrives, excellent YAC because he combines hard planting cuts upfield with momentum to either break tackles or drag tacklers for extra yards. 

arm catches a lot and needs to use his hands more(which is where i see kelvin benjamin in him) but still gives himself a better chance to make the catch than the db. 

i think he could find a place in this offense real quick and if im not mistaken hes viewed as a 5th round or later type of guy

Stewart reminds me of a young Steve Smith with not only his aggressiveness while blocking but also his decent speed and ability to catch everything thrown his way.

[Ngata Chance]

Are there any opinions on Josh Reynolds from Texas A&M?

He is 6'4 and had decent hands and is projected to run a 4.5 in the 40. I believe he could be a player from my limited views I have, and was hoping someone had more insight.  

[arnie_uk]

Think Corey Davis is probably the best wr in the class but will go 2nd to Williams. Think he'll be a stud.

Pity we only want a complimentary wideout and not a go to guy
