[BR News]

The USC wide receiver draft prospect has very similar size and style of play to Boldin, who excelled in Baltimore during his three years with the Ravens.

Draft him and sign Boldin for what the Lions gave him last year. 2 mill for 67 catches, 8 TD's, a Red Zone presence, and a great downfield blocker. PROVEN WINNER.

I like this kid in 3rd rd.  OLB and CB in Rds 1 and 2.  Barnett/Harris and Moreau/White.  Love the heart of Ju-Ju and he's just we need to pair with Perriman going forward.

[JD08]

I think he is what we need.

[ravensnj]

I love receivers that are aggressive, powerful and work back for the ball. I have no tolerance for the finesse guys who don't fight for the ball.

Could there really be a chance we get him in the 3rd round? That'd be dope. I feel like we'd have to trade up to get him at that point though. Man this is a really good draft, immediate starter potential into day 3. Crazy.

Wouldn't that be sweet. Add some solid targets for the stretch and showtime under the big lights.

Sign Boldin to a 1 year deal then he can retire a Raven

No way do I see him making it past the 2nd round, I could the the Browns drafting him in the top of that round and if not the Niners need all the help they can get.

juju's going in the 2nd round im pretty sure of it, if he does make it to the 3rd he won't make it to the ravens pick without a tradeup - i think he's gonna end up just out of range of both our picks there - he won't be worth the 2nd and he won't get near the 3rd

[OzzieBisciotti]

Ozzie has no business drafting, or looking for that matter, a receiver based upon all the misses he's had, just like the safety and tightend positions as of late too

[sizzlingdoom]

This guy is Exactly what we need. If we selected him at any point in the second it would be a steal. Ju Ju is a first round pick in any draft class. If he switched places with Mike Williams last year, I think he would be selected before him in the draft

I've had the pleasure of watching Juju play live twice and the guy is an absolute beast. He isn't a burner by any stretch, but he is extremely physical, runs great routes(so he gets seperation) and has very soft hands. He catches everything. One of the toughest kids I've seen play. The Q comparison is pretty spot on, but I think Juju might have more raw athleticsim at the same stage. Juju would be a good get in the 2nd imo. He would be a good fit with Perriman and Wallace. While those two can stretch the field, Juju is the guy to move the chains, make tough contested catches, be a mismatch nightmare in the redzone and be a great, reliable target for Joe. Kid has a ton of heart and is built really well. Love him.

If we do get Juju in the 2nd, then l hope we get Barnett in the 1st and then a corner in the 3rd round or trade back to the second round and get a corner. But man l also really want to get Zach Brown though to replace Orr but it looks like they probably won't get him because they would've been interested by now. I guess the Comp picks will be affected.

[designermaryland]

we are not resigning Boldin. he made about $3 mil last year. why are people so interested in him coming back? like flacco, i cannot really recall any dominance or elite play from Boldin outside of that 4 game playoff run in 2012. if the ravens still after 20 years cannot even by chance find a quality wr in the draft process, ozzie should be ashamed of himself. they clearly need a new scout for that position. i mean, they cannot even really find a mediocre receiver. david reed, streeter, malette, doss, figurs ... these are the guys they are selecting and they are practice squad level guys.

[Tenacious Faulker]

One thing about JJSS is that he's about 0.3 sec faster in the 40 than Boldin was. If he has is other pass catching traits and situational awareness as well he should be a beast. But I just don't like the name "JuJu" - stick with John, bro.
