[News] Ravens 2017 Draft Tracker

The top rated guys we could make great us of, still on the board for day #3:

Caleb Brantley DT
would have probably been off the board no later than round #2, but he hit a woman, so he's surely off Ozzie's board.

Dede Westbrook WR
Starting caliber potential - but the speedster kind we already have enough of, probably never a good possession/slot receiver, so not really the kind of reaciver we are looking for at this point. Also, good chance to see him picked well before we're on the clock.

Dorian Johnson OG
This guy would be my dream pick for us in round #4. A position of need, a guy who definitely has the potential to become a starter... Too bad he also has a good chance to hear his name called well before we're on the clock...

Chad Hansen WR
He could be a contributor as a possession type receiver - but he's already in the "more probably a backup than a heavy contributor" region.

David Sharpe OT
Needs to improve, but has the potential to become a starter. Projected to go in rounds 2-3, he also has a fair chance to be scooped up early today.

Carl Lawson OLB
Would probably be of thje board by now if not for injuries. Also, I guess we're done with pass rushers for this draft :)

Zach Brown OT
Could never become more than depth, but has the potential to rise.

I honestly don't care what happens from now to the end of the draft! We already won! Let's take a few more fliers and then snatch a vet WR and C after the draft!

Can someone please help me? I'm not seeing anything on this page. I feel like ever since they switched to the new mobile-friendly format, I've been unable to even see the tweets on the LFW, as well as several videos and whatever type of files are on this page.

Are you on a phone?  I always use the full-screen version.

Like the attitude kid, I feel the same way as you. They've gotten back to the roots, back to what made this team great years ago. DEFENSE.

I'm seriously loving this draft. Don't get why so many are picking it apart. We got 4 players that were expected to go in the first 45 picks. Last year's weakness is officially a strength. CB, Pass Rush... We are set for years to come

Our 3rd round picks are basically another 1st and 2nd rounder in terms of player grade. In general, in rounds 3 to 5th we picked players that could easly go 1 or 2 rounds higher, that's a great draft. I am excited with our LBs, imagine having Mosley, Correa, Bowser and Williams on the field together, anyone can rush, anyone can cover, offense has to guess who will do what and any time they guess wrong, they will be punished, add Suggs in some creative 2-5 set, and you bring chaos to any offense we face.

Only negative i have about this draft, is our 1st round pick. I like the Humphrey selection, great addition for now and for the future, but he might have been available few picks later, and trading down would give us possibility for another steal pick. Unfortunately noone had trade proposition good enough for us.

The common thread of this draft (which I think is a very good one) is physicality. These guys are going to impose their will on their opponents. In other words, they're Ravens. Wish we could have landed a WR, but no one ever gets all they want and the guys we targeted were taken before we could pick. We'll undoubtedly pick up a veteran WR later who will be more productive this year than anyone we could have drafted from Round 4 on. We shored up the secondary, plugged a big hole in the O line, replaced Jernigan, and added two quality pass rushers who will push Judon and Z. Smith for playing time. Good job, Oz!
