Now it's time for the Ravens to shine as they always seem to do. Find the diamonds in the ruff, undrafted free agents

I was shocked that they took him at all, let alone so early. I realize two of their qbs are injured and likely to miss parts of the season but they are both young and unproven. Why add another to the mix? As for the Ravens, 6th round, missed out on Perry, took offensive tackle, likely a guard Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, 6'6" 330, plays weaker than his size, terrible technique, likely destined for the practice squad... if he makes the team..

And again they take a flyer, this time at corner, a.position of desperate need. They chose Kyu Blue Kelly, Chip's son, in thr 5th (AT Perry still on the board) Kelly is sound in technique, has decent speed, straight line, but it take a few yards before he hits top gear. Quite a handsy player which may get him in trouble in the NFL. He may take a few years to develop, if ever... a 5th round pick, so...

Depth at defensive tackle/ end, it is with Tavius Robinson. He will need a full season of NFL strength training, but his quickness should help.

Hmmff, Eric said the reason for the Simpson pick was bpa, because all of their top listed wide outs were taken... Well Eric, I will repeat what I said earlier. Since you as a team, have not ever drafted a wide out who turned out to be productive, why not throw caution to the wind and say," hey, we think so & so is going to be a bust nfl receiver, so let's take him".. What have you to lose? If he turns out to be a bust, you were right, if you were wrong and he turns out to be an all pro, (very likely) you look like a genius! Isn't that a better gamble than drafting another weak, speedy edge/inside backer who while a manimal, is weak at the point of attack, Likely to be a rotational player at best?

I'm puzzled as to why Ringo is still there, yes he sometimes has lapses in coverage but his skill set and size, speed can't be coached, he can. Do what ever it takes to draft him. If they can't, get Rush, from S Carolina, he is raw but also has the skill set, size, quickness and make up speed this team needs. AT Perry is still there, adding another wide out could also be fruitful

Oh boy, they stood pat, drafted Patrick Queen, er umm Trenton Simpson, same player, same type player, athletic, relied on his athletism in college, doesn't cover well, gets lost in zone coverage... Queen wasn't happy, "sheesh" he tweeted.. yeah, I agree Patrick, I agree

As I said in the draft thread, I think they should try to trade up into the 2nd to get one of the top tier CBS left, Ringo, Porter, etc. Use Duv as bait if needed. This team need quality not quantity

Because he was one of the terms of the hostage release

I wonder does this mean the end of Duv, with cap savings, let Flowers return kicks? Does this end the Hopkins trade? Eric needs to be

Na, no where near Brown. He works hard on his route running and pass catching. If you want to see how Todd will use him, watch tape of how an average receiver, an over achiever in McKonkey, was able to have a stellar career at Georgia. Todd is going to have fun with Flowers. Now I wonder, do they don't have a true run blocking tight end on the team, with Boyle being let go. I wonder if they try to replace him with Darnell Washington, who is essentially an offensive tackle with great hands.

My biggest take away, as Eric said, the nightmare is over

Now, there are still some very good corners in the draft, but not likely to last to round 3. Maybe the team can and should trade up into the second to nab one...

Think Steve Smith, kid plays with attitude, a very good pick. Here is hoping he wasn't the Ravens highest rated wide, that they had Addison rated higher and tried a little reverse psychology

Lions pick is in, they take Gibbs, runningback, Bama, wow, major reach

Titans picks is in, commercial break, they pick a guard from North Western, has played right tackle, Skoronski

Bears pick is in, let's move along Roger, you shortened the clock to keep this draft moving quickly, it ain't working so far

Iggles move up to 9 to grab pick has been in for 5 minutes now, no announcement, lame Here we go, Bears trade places with them and get 2024 4th rounder Phile picks, tick tick tick tick what's the hold up? Jalen Carter

Yippie Robinson goes before(well) the Ravens could be tempted, to the Falcons at 8

Pick is in at 8 for the Falcons so sure, let's go to commercial. Man, the draft coversge used to be so great. Then they got full of them selves, out priced them selves... should get worse next year after another round of layoffs at Espn

Raiders take Tyree Wilson, defensive end, nice pick, if not a few spots early

Cards trade up to 6th, give Lions the 12th and 2nd round pick, 34 So that they can take Ohio St offensive tackle Paris Johnson jr

Colts, wow, take Richardson at 4

Cards get the 12th pick plus 2023 second (No. 33), 2023 third (No. 73), 2024 third

Wow Houston is nuts, trade up from 12 to 3 when you already have your pick for a qb (CJ).. just to take a smallish rush end who can only beat tight ends? Anderson might be the most over rated defensive end/olb in a long long time
