If the Ravens somehow came away with a combination of like Charles Harris and Cooper Kupp I would be super excited.

You and I both Buddy. Or how about  if we could trade back a few spots and still land harris- then grab kupp and Pocic in the 2nd?

Bingo. And just listening to an interview with decosta my interpretation is that OL and corner are equally at the top of the totum pole. If Feeney can play center, AND we can trade back and get him while getting an extra 2nd ....wow I can't even finish my thought thinking about how great that could be. Imagine this:

1)Feeney

2)Cooper Kupp

2) Desmond king/ White

That would be quite the scenario... I like it a lot.

Problem is I really do think Desmond King goes higher than most people think. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a late first round.He is a player despite what his measurables say. 

From PFF:

King has been a phenomenal player for Iowa’s defense all year. He allowed 19 catches for 233 yards on 46 targets, with only 77 of those yards coming after the catch. He allowed one touchdown and picked off two passes while breaking up eight others. He was also one of the best run-defending corners in college football, finishing with an 82.4 run-defense grade.

I would be ecstatic. I don't know why I am so high on Harris but I wouldn't be surprised if he was taken 8 spots ahead of us. He is one of my favorite players in this draft. Right behind Foster and Hooker.... Honestly both of those guys look like the second coming of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed respectively. 

I don't remember a free safety in the last few drafts that has the range, speed, and hands of Hooker and Foster is just a monster. I know he likely won't leave the top 5... But I thought Mosley looked phenomenal coming out... Foster looks like the best inside linebacker to come out since Keuchly.

Out of curiosity, where are you getting this list?  Also--Didn't Desmond King say he talked with the Ravens and he thought the Ravens would be a good fit for him????

Walterfootball, I think Charlie is the one updating it. I'm sure there are some interviews that we won't know about until a little later, I don't know if King ever said we had one on one interviewed him, all I remember is him saying he thinks he'd be a good fit.

'When asked which team he felt the best connection with during this year’s meetings, Iowa defensive back Desmond King told me the Baltimore Ravens seemed like a perfect fit for him, likening his connection with their staff to the relationship he has with his Hawkeye coaches.' (draftwire)

So they did meet, seems like, just not recently. I also misunderstood the article at first glance.

Not too much to take away from visits during the Senior Bowl, in my opinion.  Every team is meeting with a ton of guys down there.

Pocic eh? I've thought since last season that he would be a guy we take a keen interest in. 

I really don't like basham though... his tape was pretty bad

i am a big fan of cooper kupp, i was on his wagon a while ago, but man i just cant call him a mid 2nd. i love him in the 3rd and if we were to trade back for a late 2nd i would be ok with him assuming: evan engram is off the board, ethan pocic is off the board, and none of the popular 2nd round db's are off the board. 

budda baker is a guy im really getting big on, if we trade back for another 2nd hes a guy i hope we are focusing on. he could be an elite nickel player and really change the complexity of a defense by turning a weak package into a strong one.

Even after this week at the senior bowl I think he has definitely moved up to a solid 2nd he has had great production vs PAC 12 schools 6 TDs in 2 games. I want to see the game today to see his performance.

[Willbacker]

Kyle Fuller could be an interesting guy at C. All I hear is big and nasty.

[ravensnation5220]

Senior bowl! Final time to make a mark till the combine. This should be interesting 

[Wildabeast88]

Cooper Kupp had a 38 yard kickoff return to start the game

[Wildabeast88]

RB Donnell Pumphrey is looking good on this first drive

[ravensnation5220]

Man I love Donnell pumphrey. He's a little tough guy. If he can handle punt returns like he just did I love him in the 4th round. Funny thing is as mayock said he's never had any durability issues throughout hi career

[hn68wb4]

Pumphrey, Anzalone, and Boulware look good early. Kpassagnon almost got a sack as well.

Matt Dayes just fumbled, it's a deep RB class, he can't afford to do that, I believe it was Vince Biegel that knocked it out.

[hn68wb4]

Corey Clement made a nice run but went down with injury. Got up and walked off on his own, probably just got the wind knocked out of him.

It was the Michigan linebacker that got it. Beigel was in the tackle though

[ravensnation5220]

Dan feeney is looking impressive so far......wish Forrest lamp never got hurt though

[hn68wb4]

Kpassagnon is doing surprisingly well at DE, but he keeps falling real hard on play action

He showing off his run blocking prowess so far, Hunt and Clement are really taking advantage of that side of the line

[Wildabeast88]

Just as I was gonna post about Feeney he got blown up but I love his nastiness I read he has played a little C this week but unless we go O-line in the 1st he will not be available.

[Wildabeast88]

Zay Jones holy cow what a freaking amazing catch.

dude is making himself lots of money, even if he didn't quite get that second foot in that was a circus catch

[ravensnation5220]

Well damn zay Jones......i see why you had 158 catches last year....you can catch everything lol

[Wildabeast88]

I wish they had replay if we can't get Kupp I want Jones amazing catch looks like he has an NFL type build his Dad played LB for the 90's Cowboys but he was robbed of a TD that was a highlight reel catch

On the replay it looked like his knee hit out of bounds just before that second foot came down in. I think no catch was the right call.

They both really match that possession type receiver we need. I really like both of them. They're both high character kids too

Zay Jones would be a helluva guy to get in the mid rounds. GREAT hands, tough.... He's surely put that small school stigma to bed. The more he impresses, the harder it will be to steal him tho.
