What Is Your Top Criteria For A Draft Pick?

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

For me there are two

on the field: A football player

off the field: A law abiding citizen

He has to love football, have a high motor, be quicker than fast, be a competitor, have a high floor, have upside, have rare athleticism, possess good instincts, and any other cliches I'm forgetting.

I think it is hard to know who will continue to work as hard as they can once they get the big paycheck.  Most of these guys have grown up poor so if you give them a million dollar + signing bonus for a first round pick how are you going to know if their main concern will be football or partying.

Going by Elam's Twitter feed I think he was already ruled out by LiT's criteria.

LMAO. Savage

[cobrajet]

Give me a guy with football passion. Someone who lives, eats, and breathes football. Someone who plays every down like his life depended on it. Ray Lewis had this kind of football passion!

You don't draft a safety or corner just because they can catch. They're main job is to be able to cover the wide receivers, not catch like a wide receiver. Of course it is good if they can catch, but you shouldn't specifically be looking to see if they can catch or not.

Especially since everyone knows if DBs could catch they'd be WRs. 

[ellicottraven]

Work ethic, talent that translates to production and leadership both by example and vocally.

"I love to win", "and I live for the big moments" spoken like a true first round draft pick........Zeke

Your vapidness is showing! This sounds like deja vue all over again. Call, call, call seth The Raven!

[frozen joe flacco fan]

All seriousness aside, at this point it seems as though the top criteria for a draft pick should be a defensive player, preferably from Alabama for some reason. It almost seems that drafting a weapon to improve the offense is considered offensive by our FO. Didn't Forrest Gump play for the Crimson Tide in the movie by the same name. In deference to The Raven, stupid is as stupid does.
