Mosley had a laundry list of injury concerns. Timmy Jernigan was rumored to be lazy and wouldnt stay in shape, also turned in a diluted drug test and wouldn't take a second one. Kindle himself had duis in college. 

Those are earlier though, after the ray rice debacle things have definitely changed.

The Mosley one I remember, now that you mention it (it was the sole reason I didn't want him lol). Jernigan's diluted sample controversy always seemed overblown to me though. I'm unfamiliar with any Alex Lewis pre-draft concerns, although he wasn't a high pick anyway. 

If we're including players with motivational problems, then add Carl Davis.

The more I think about it, the more i think John Ross will be a Raven. And Id be ok with that

Alex Lewis spent 45 days in jail and got 2 years probation for misdemeanour assault with some armed forces guys - not sure of the specifics beyond that

Jonathan Allen will fall to the 20s come draft day. 

It does say bold predictions.....

[Davesta]

We trade up to the first pick of the second round to draft Reuben foster. (One can dream)

Maybe not 20's but he isn't top5. He is a very overhyped player

[Maryland]

Bold prediction:

Derek Barnett is available at #16, but Ozzie and co. pass on him either by taking some other edge rusher (similar to passing on Tunsil last year for Stanley) or by trading down (similar to passing on Mack and Spence last year for Correa). 

[ravensnation5220]

Prediction: We will not draft a player who has any sort of off feild concern in the past year in the first round

This includes any history with drugs, DV or rape(obviously), recent injury, or even diluted sample

This takes players like Cam Robinson, Tim Williams, Reuben Foster, Jabrill Peppers, Corey Davis, Takk Mckinley, and Ryan Ramzcyk off the list....probably John Ross too

Jonathan Allen is kinda in that in between category with his shoulders

We will target a PERFECTLY CLEAN prospect and he will be in the building during the selection.

.....making our 16th overall selection.....*drum roll please*.....

Hasaan Reddick Linebacker Temple

The pick could be wrong but Im pretty sure the player will be there tomorrow night. Cam Robinson would be the one exception above

IF we draft Cam I'm instantly calling Ozzie out.

In a class with such poor oline depth, if hes good enough at 22 then hes good enough at 16

Hasaan Reddick Linebacker Temple

 

 

Im starting to think he wont be there at 16. 

I could see Jacksonville, Tenn, SD, Buff, NO, Phi, and Indy all having a look if theyre that high on him.

Apparently teams love this guy and he might have flown past Foster -- diluted sample or not.

[trevorsteadman]

Someone's mock draft I just looked at had us taking Corey Davis over Hasaan Reddick. I think it Hasaan is somehow there, I think that will be the pick. I love Corey Davis and I think he will be a starter in the league and be a solid wide receiver, but Reddick on film does everything right. He can play multiple positions. He needs to be on this team. 

Plus Corey Davis or not on offense, or any offensive piece in this draft I don't think changes how good this offense is. And the Ravens offense is going to be terrible next season. I hope that Perriman backpacks the team and carries them and I know there is still a wave of free agency but I already don't like what I see. The Ravens are going to have to run the ball to be successful on offense and that would mean the team needs to sign a veteran and have someone like Wesley step it up. 

Their defense though if Reddick was selected at #16 I think would be better at every level this year than last year except at the defensive line. I think the loss of Lawerence Guy will be the most underrated free agency loss for this team. I think young guys could replace what he did, but I think there are games the team gets ran over and people will be blaming it on Brandon Williams who just signed a new massive contract, even when it won't be his fault. 

Truth be told the Ravens getting back to the playoffs and winning another super bowl in the next 3 years relies on how this defense does. Especially when the playoffs will be going through Pittsburgh, New England, Oakland, etc.

Taking into consideration guys who should be available still though, it becomes a different story

[rmw10]

I'm trying not to bite into rumors, but some of these reports really want me to tear up my mock I just did on Friday, as I already feel it'll be way off.

Bengals could take him too, would fill their LB and pass rusher need. Guys who are as athletic as Von Miller with that kind of production and versatility don't fall far.

I take these rumors 0% serious.

Here's last year's Scouting Notebook roundup. Like 35% of it is true and most of that we as fans knew to be true.

[PurpleHorseman]

Corey Davis all the way if Available. If he gets by every fan will be so upset by his rookie season!! Reddick a touch overrated at this juncture. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't be to angry if we picked him. But a touch overrated so far. Not the thumper with instincts that Foster is. Not an elite edge rusher. He is somewhat a project edge rusher and ilb. May not be ready week1

I respectfully disagree. I think Reddick is a transcendent player. Foster needed Saban in my eyes and saban made him better than he probably is. And im a bama fan....

The idea that a WR in round 1 is the only way we win tbjs draft is crazy. I honestly dont like the value of WRs in the first but i understand it.

I think you should go back and watch Reddick's film more. He has burst on the line to play outside and he knows how to shed blockers and track down ball carriers probably better than anyone in this draft. I think he would be an okay OLB but I think he may be better at WILL linebacker. But if I had to pick between Davis and Reddick, I would choose Reddick based off of film.

you may be missing something regarding reddick... he has potentially the best film of any defender in the class. 

the only knock on this kid is weight. as far as what he actually has shown on the field, i dont know if any single player has been more impressive in this class. other guys may top him on measurables, but reddick simply jumps off film more than anyone in the class.

My dream draft pick. But deep down I know he won't be there. And it will make me punch my wall tomorrow night I already know.

The next DROY will be a day 2 CB.

After numerous balanced drafts, Ravens will draft a record low 2 offensive players.

I´m adding to this: Hooker will fall out of the top 10.
The former Ohio State SS is the only player in the top 16 since Kevin White (#7) with only one year as a full time starter.
The closest guys are Eli Apple (15 and 13 games in his last 2 years) and Arik Armstead (9, 11).
It might mean absolutely nothing but I throw it in there. 

 

Half of my last year´s predictions were correct.. expect at least one of these to keep the trend going

[Static]

Fournette Falls close or at our pick.

 

I dont know if Ozzie likes him though.

I wouldn't say all that, I think he's actually got a huge shot to be available, unlikely st this point but far from impossible. I'd say he's as likely to be there as Corey Davis.

If fournette falls anywhere close to 14 Ozzie is ringing phones off the hook because either philly or Indy would be certain to snatch him up. 

Not happening though, I don't see fournette falling past SF and jax
