I wasn't here for that, being a transplant Marylander. But I've been here for longer than I lived in CT where I grew up. Not having a home football team stunk, I was a Pat's/ Rams fan growing up, my family were Giants fans.. So I don't have the fond Fandom of being a Baltimore Colts fan, but... Having moved here in '89, I was able to see the Ravens come to be, ditch the Rams/Pat's ( right when the Rams went on to Win the Super Bowl, go figure)... and be a home town team fan of the Ravens all these years now..

King has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. Thanks Max, that was a good read. I don't know how he will turn out as a pro, nor how he fell to round 3, but I would love to know where they had Dean ranked and why they didn't draft him in either the 2nd or the 3rd...

I have hopes for Williams, another shot at a tall wide out with big catch radius. Seems they draft one every other year. I'll never forget Clarence, what a work out warrior he was. He was kind enough to give Sock & I an interview after one camp practice. He just could never put it together in a game. Williams is very, very raw, he can catch though, he just needs to learn how to run routes, get off man press coverage...

There have been a number of players over the years where the draft pundits claim so & so was a steal only to end up being a bust...Elam was a steal, whoops, Chris Woremly was a steal, whoops, even Oweh, though it is too early to tell about him. It is the same for every team, some players are rated too high, some too low...

So, now that we learn that Brown has wanted out of this system, off of this team essentially since he was drafted, what does this mean for the franchise? Is any decent wide out going to want to sign here? Is our very good now 2n year wide out, now the star of this wide out offense, going to want out too? Yes Brown wanted out for "selfish reasons", but when we think on this, can we blame him? I think every fan has said "get rid of Roman", well, Brown just did... so to speak... We know the history of this organization, they have never developed a wide out. We've had a few older vets come in and play well; Smith, Bolden, both loved playing here, to name two... So is this just a selfish receiver who wantes big numbers to get a big pay day? Or is there far more to this?

He just needs to drop some weight, improve his foot work. He is a monster in run blocking

Well, Sam is getting O-L-D... so getting the punter they wanted was a smart move. All in all, not a bad draft, some talent there, we shall have to wait and see if we have any real talent or do we have an Elam, a Worley, etc.... can the big man become the starting right tackle in a year or so?

Damarian Williams cb Houston Only 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, and while he covers ground from the free safety position, size and length are an issue. Because he's undersized, he isn't going to contest many balls at the catch point.

Jordan Stout, punter, PSU Oy... Tight end Isaiah Likely, CSTCAR Slow into breaks. Small hand size. Would prefer him working up the seam rather than across the field. Frame is not going to hold up as a blocker

Tight end Charlie Kolar, Iowa St Lacks overall physicality to sustain blocks and high point the football. Consistent performer for the past three years. Needs to play with better balance, which limits his explosive opportunities after the catch

Draft tracker, Daniel Faalele offensive tackle from Min, great pick. As usual, they dip into Bama and get a cb who can't stay true to the scheme, who gets lost in coverage... Jalyn Armour Davis...

Trueth is not always positive... I give up on watching the draft, it's too horribly run...

Crushed it? Let's see how well he heals from the torn Achilles, how long it takes him. Even then, he was not great holding the edge, a lot of his stats were because of the piss poor blocking teams he faced and who was on the other side. The defensive tackle from Uconn is interesting, big quick guy. He might be a very good role player if he stays focused.

2nd round draft picks being duds likely continues

Man, this has been the worst run draft of all time; for shame NFL.. Ravens pick...Crap, they pick crap Ojabo

Yep, our first round pick from last year, if he can stay healthy, can pick up most of the slack. Now, does Proche or Duv finally get a chance to shine and take the next step?

Very likely if he stays healthy, Murray is a better deep ball passer and their system is far more passing concepts than that of the Ravens

True, however, he gained leverage with the trade. Essentially he was traded for the se value as Aj Brown. I would hate to be the Cardinals.. In his mind, with AB in his ear, $50 + mil guaranteed $100 mil is his starting point

He saw the writing on the wall. All of those big named receivers getting $100 mil contracts and knew in this system there was no way he could get that money.

I wonder if we can land Menchie, or if GB will reach up and snatch him. A true speedster, a bit rough around the edges with route running, but our favorite word, potential.. Still a chance to get Dean, man oh man I hope he lands here.. Raiman the tackle from Central Michigan would also be nice. He could be a very good right tackle. Roger Mcrary, cb, Auburn, since they missed out, apparently, on McDuffey.. Demarvin Leal, dt Texas A & M..

His 40 time, 4.59, shoot I could run that today, then lay down and die...

Lamar's Twitter feed says it all... clearly Brown knew this coming, having been working out with Murray, even attending a Cardinals draft party...

Should be a lot of movement the rest of the way, some good players left to help build the defense. The question is what do they do now that Brown is gone? Listening to Eric, while Lamar was pissed, Brown wanted out

Hamilton is slow, made most of his plays against terrible qbs/offenses. He does seem to have instincts which can help, but against NFL qbs, his lack of speed will be exposed. The draft, in all , coverage, was the worst first round of all time. They treated, the league, like a 7th round draft day. Falling way behind on pick announcments..announcements... for shame

#25- Linderbaun (solid pick) & #130 ( a 3rd rounder back)
