A "sleeper pick" from the NY Times, though serial assault allegations may have taken him off of their board Marshall outside linebacker Mike Green was productive last season (17 sacks, 84 tackles). He’s a twitchy and explosive athlete who can get to the quarterback and set the edge against the run. Green has also twice faced sexual assault allegations. There were no formal charges filed, and Green has denied the allegations. His former coaches and mentors speak

I read a USA Today article putting together a number of mock drafts from around the net. The concensus was the Ravens would draft the guard from Bama, a big mauler at 27. Not sure I would love the pick at 27, he needs work, better value in the 2nd or 3rd. Especially since those same drafts had a few real good pass rushers still on the board. Should be interesting tonight

He doesn't have very high ups, usually those high light plays are against shorter dbs, lbs, he does have very good hands in traffic, I'll give him that. Kelsey has wiggle, loose hips which helps him get open, but more, get yards after catch. Warren doesn't, he breaks tackles of smaller dbs who don't have good tackling form. Hey, nothing wrong with that, Bavaro, Gronk, others with his similar style made nice careers. As for the direct snap, meh, those worked against bad teams, undisciplined defenses. We get that now with Henry, even Riccard at times. Sure, he is a better reciever than Riccard, slightly more athletic, but not by much.

I'm not sold on Warren, not fast, limited athletism. Sure, he can catch, run straight and is a bull, but you are limited with the routes he can run. I doubt that they go for Stewart, yes, physical specimen at 6-6 280 or so. Excellent speed, long arms, but he needs a ton of work to learn how to use his abilities. They have a few guys like him already that don't seem to understand how to use their talents in Owa, Isaac's, etc.

If he slides out of the top 10, I could see them do it.

So does Pit trade up for Sanders?

Could this be what Lindy will get next year? Later this summer?

3 days away, at least until the 1st round, wish they would have done 3 rounds on day 1, start the draft at noon on day 1, but then, that would not make a lot of money....

Okay, I can see that, and have their likelihood of trading down next year, turn the top 5 pick into more quality draft slots.

Na, stick at 27, why risk losing a potentially key player hoping he will be around a few picks later or even further down when the Ravens pick in the 2nd. At 27, it is just like picking at the top of the 2nd. So you "reach" by a few picks, no biggie. Take what you need when he is there, why pay for a top 5 pick next year? What potential player next year will this team "need" that badly? A qb? Nope, a wr? Not likely even an offensive tackle, not sure they are worth a top 5 pick

I just hope they don't move back

I agree, big pay, big attitude at his age that spells trouble

Would you trade Andrews & a late pick to Miami for Ramsey? Redo his deal to make it cap friendly?

It's Todd Heap all over again. Great player who went above and beyond, a true Raven on and off of the field. But eventually father time and the cap catch up. They will save what, 10, 11 mil with a cut or trade, small dead cap hit, but let him play out his last 2 3 years at most, out West

Pending what Likely will want, given what McBride got, this will be Andrews' last year here, Likely will take over as the top end next year.

He will likely get a few plays a game as a receiver, there is just no way he can hold up playing 60 + plays a game. His risk of injury would double.

I'm not sure they could get a 2nd for him... Travis Hunter recently claimed that he would quit football if the team that drafts him does not allow him to play both ways. He also said he feels he can dominate on both sides of the ball. Frankly I think this is just blustering. But at in the NFL, he will get injured if he plays consistently both ways. This isn't college ball where they might play 10 games. Big difference playing 7 more games and possibly playoffs where it is even harder play. As for dominant play, all power to him but he is likely a slot player on offense where he is an okay receiver, more quick than fast. He is a very good college corner, who played against, and dominated, against average at best offenses. He should be a very good corner if he can hold up to NFL rules; you can't have as much contact in the NFL as you can in college. So we shall see.

Would you trade Andrews? For what, a 3rd or a 4th?

It's not a question of over paying Smith, the way the back up backers performed, the defense got better when they benched Simpson proves that. Now the question is, is Simpson going to perform as they expect, or is he just a special teams, back up player? Pending how the draft plays out, they will need to get a weak side backer in this draft or shortly after, if nothing else, for depth and special teams. Even so, who they get at 27, say edge or safety, could play a big role in maybe grabbing a good value backer in the 2nd. If he is rated above a right tackle of course..

Yeah, they are really good at finding that mid to late rounds defensive tackle, even undrafted, so while there are a number of them worthy at 27, I can't see then drafting a defensive tackle at 27. Inside backer is another possible position of need, but none worthy at 27. They don't really need a wide out, not sure there is even one worthy of 27. Offensive tackles and guards a plenty and a team need so that is likely at 27, but not sure they want to pay that premium. Like you, by reason of deduction, I think it will be a safety or edge

Little over a week away, so, who ya got for rd 1? Trade up, trade down, stay put, pick a position if it's easier fer ya

1 year, $4 mil, incentives worth up to $13 mil https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-14599261/Cleveland-Browns-sign-Joe-Flacco-NFL.html

In my opinion, no matter what the pundits say, Pearce is the best olb in the draft, size, speed, power. Tennessee used him in a variety of ways, he even covered tight ends on occasion pretty darn well. He knows how to not only get to the qb, but take him down as well. I would even trade up a few spots to get him

I agree, they can always find am athletic inexperienced safety and let him learn, either draft or undrafted. But if Pearce is there at 27, I sure hope that they take him

By & large the players love him, he has a long leash, sometimes to the detriment of the team it seems: safety play for example. But he never throws a player under the bus. Even Cleveland, who struggled with his personal issues, when many were screaming for him to play, the organization was quiet as to why he wasn't. Sure, another Super Bowl was "expected" the last couple of years, but despite the early exits, it wasn't because of coaching. The players for what ever reason just couldn't hang onto the ball, leading to loses.
