Five 4th round picks now. Bucs pick Spence

They get a 4th round pick from the Phish

Now the Ravens swap with the Phins

KC picks (they shorten the time for picks to fit in more commercials...) Chris Jones, dt

Ravens got a 5th with the swap

Jacksonville takes Myles Jack

Ravens must have traded out with Jax

Chargers tab Hunter Henry, a tight end

Cowboys get Wow, Smith!!!!!

Give the Ravens a better shot at Alexander There goes Dodd

Yes, if he has to have that surgery, his career would be over. There goes Ogba, nice pick Browns, if they can motivate him.

Seven dbs in the first round, I think Titans & Chargers are moat likely to go db, maybe Browns & possibly Cowboys. Chargers and Cowboys also need a defensive end so Spence/Dodd may go to them. I love how Spence seems to have turned his life around, and the Ravens were linked to him... He could be a great player nut his size, lack of moves and not being good against the run worry me. There are likely 3-4 dbs left in this draft who can come in and play well right away. The Ravens also neeed a safety, slim pickens now. With 4 Bama players slated to go high in the 2nd I hope they put Ozzie in isolation with no way of contacting the outside world....

Yeah, much like the first round, the Ravens have a real chance to land a top talent in the 2nd, one I don't think even they could screw up in this round...

It isnt how he does now, it is a degenerative disease that, in his words, might need microfracture surgery. Now, Dr Andrews, considered the best, said Jack would not need the surgery. Even so, a degenerative disease can cause him issues with pain, swelling, healing timely.... I would still take in the 2nd if Alexander is not there, he is worth the risk. Oh and if Preston hate the Stanley pick, I too might have to change my mind.

They should have a good shot at Alexander, cb , Clemson. Kendal Fuller, yes we know the Fuller name, his bother plays in Chicago, but he might be the best of all the Fullers. Good speed, quickness, instincts... He just gets a little too confident at times....

Kevin Dodd, defensive end, Clemson, is a good chance, Alexander, a solid corner as we mentioned, Chris Jones, defensive tackle, strong as an ox, Andrew Billings, another immovable object, my favorite edge rusher, Shilique Calhoun, not great against the run, but can he ever get after the quarterback. Maybe a guard? Cody Whitehair, excellent run blocker.

All I know is what I saw in games over the past 3 years. I watch a ton of college ball, including every ND game. When he faced tougher teams, strong pass rushers, he often was pushed back into the pocket, forcing the quarterback off his spot, rather than riding the rusher deeper and around the quarterback. He did well in run blocking, getting his pads low and getting to the 2nd level, blocking, locking on to the backers, safeties. Tunsel is far more athletic and when he dis play, which was not often because of suspension for school issues, or minor nagging injuries, he did well in pass blocking, holding off bull rushers, keeping speed rushers away from the quarterback. They all need work, none of them is great at anything, none ready to start day one on the left side. Conklin is the most run ready, he is strong at the point of attack but not great at pass blocking, slow feet. Overall, Stanley has potenial to be a good tackle, I am just not sure that is a left tackle nor worthy of the 6th pick.

The draft is "weak" for true, start now & dominate left tackles. Frankly, I was thinking the same as you re; Ozzie's comments on how they had Stanley ranked. I am just a couch jokey, but I find it impossible to believe he was the 6th best player on their board, let alone the draft. I know they have to say things to make the players feel good, and to some extent the fans, but jeepers, we are not that gullible are we?

No, different injuries. They would have known about the degenerative issue if Perriman had it and would not have taken him. So many false rumors floating around about Perriman, I thought they were put to bed...

Here is the issue I have with stats; subjective. I have seen a number of plays, yes they all have them, where he allowed the defender to push him into the backfield, forcing the quarterback to step up & out, rather than taking the defender behind the quarterback. He lacks power, upper body strength that may or may not come with better work outs. He is far better suited to a right tackle from what I have seen of him over the past few years. Picking him at 6 was way too high, granted, their top choice of Ramsey was gone and their deal with Dallas couldn't be made for some reason, and their was a bit of a run on tackles, they might have missed him if they traded back...

Yeah I am thinking Alexander is the pick, he would be a great pick if there...

Can't get past two things. He reminds me of Oher, hope I am wrong. Why did they not make the trade with Dallas, Ramsey was worth swapping picks and giving up a 2nd.....

Jack in the 2nd? He is worth the risk here..
