Card's hooker. Philly Howard. Colts reddick ravens Dalvin.

3 out of 4 ain't bad.

[Grapple Raven]

Texans select QB Deshaun Watson!  I am happy for this guy, especially since he doesn't have to play for the Browns, lol.

I hope you're right

Figured it would be Watson to give up that much

[hn68wb4]

I still think that at this rate we're moving back, so many good players available, the phone has to be ringing and stock piling picks in this draft is a great move

[JoeyFlex5]

arizona is a tricky one here. i honestly have no clue. wouldnt be shocked to see them take jonathan allen but i doubt it

[JO_75]

With Watson on the Texans, with that defense and a healthy JJ Watt returning they are a legit threat in 2017.

Even if Barnett is there you think we take a RB?

[ALI624]

Hooker or Allen?

[rmw10]

I think Watson is a great fit in Houston.  Great defense to carry him and a solid array of weapons around him.  We know he can turn it on when the lights are bright.

[Grapple Raven]

I swear what the Browns do with collecting picks is almost criminal, especially since they don't know how to use 'em, lol.

i think this could be oj howard - but i think allen or hooker could also be the pick - i think the only guarantee is that this wont be barnett

This is really interesting we're gonna get a great player 16... or Ozzie will trade back

I kinda hope we just take someone. Not much point getting cute with the picks imo.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Defense wins Championships Ozzie

[Ravensfolyfe]

Watson to Texans

There's better players than barnett still on the board

With Allen dropping it may make sense to give up one of the 3rd and go up and get him. He's going to be dominant for us up the middle. I can't even imagine how tough he'll make it for opposing O-lines.

But if his shoulder issues is really a problem  which is causing him to drop them why trade up for him ? He's top 5 talent who may be falling due to medical concerns so not sure if The Ravens should trade up for a guy that may just fall to them regardless.

Where do you get a 20% chance?  That's just adding numbers to state your case.  My case is this.  If Hooker is as high on the Ravens board as he is mine, you take him.

Look at the top 5 picks for the past 10 years.  Tell me how many are top 5 players at there position.  I am GIVING you the fact that he pans out.  Is that small of an upgrade worth giving up a MASSIVE upgrade at pass rush.  I would rather trade back and take an O-Line and grab an extra 2 then make that pick because this draft is so deep.

Facts

[bioLarzen]

No 1st AND 2nd round pick for the Texans in the 2018 draft...

Wowsers...

[allblackraven]

So, Watson will be the end of O'Brien in Texas

I'm guessing they're putting together a package to trade for a proven QB.

Sometimes luck favors the brave assuming his shoulders aren't shot of course.

[rossihunter2]

the browns next year will have at least 2 1st rounders and 2 2nd rounders again

It's like giving Helen Keller a pistol. She could do some damage, but chances are she's just gonna be off in the corner shooting a lamp shade.

True . I honestly thought he was best quarterback in this draft .

Again, best player available.  Weddle at 32 isn't going to factor into me passing on a potential transcendent talent.

[Grapple Raven]

Watson seems pretty happy with where he landed.

[JO_75]

Have to echo what NFL Network was saying.. 

Colts - Luck

Titans - Mariota

Texans - Watson

The AFC South is building up a young solid core of QBs. Oh by the way...... we play the AFC South this year. So of course the AFC South gets better when we play them.
