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..

Cowboys going Ramsey if he is there, if not, Elliot will be their pick per Espn. Titans also want to move up to get an offensive tackle.....

Seems, according to Jack, his knee issues are real, degenerative and he "might" need microfracture surgery some where down the line..... As great a talent as he is, I hope the Ravens pass on him if he is there at 6. That surgery, would it be needed, would end his career. As some one who has a degenerative issue, it causes all types of issues, especially whwn you least expect it..

What do you think of Scoobie Wright in the 3rd or 4th if he is there. He has the smarts and instict to be a great mike....

It is all on which games THEY watch. He gets low and has good lower leg drive allowing him to move defenders off the line of scrimmage. Pass blocking, however, he gets lazy with his feet and isn't the best with his hands placement at times. He can be bull rushed and the quick guys sis have success getting around the edge on him. I dont think he is a left tackle, maybe a good back up there, but he will be better suited at right tackle or even guard. Does that sound like a first round, early, draft pick? They can find a player like that with more potential in 2nd, 3rd even early 4th round.

Even in a 4-3 Bosa just doesnt fit. He isnt strong enough to hold the edge and his quickness\speed is questionable in pass rush. They have always tried to scheme to their strength. If they had more defensive linemen who could play, they used more 4-3. When they had 4 good backers, they moved to the 3-4. Lately, because they had neither, they turned into a morphing defesen morw often, even running a 5-2 at times. Tunsil, on a side note, is not a road grader in the running game. His skill is getting to the second level, turning guys in zone blocking. Maybe they do trade back and take the ND tackle who excells in run blocking but needs coaching and experience in pass set... This should be fun.

Irsay could have had 3 number 1's, I came away feeling really bad for Ernie. While they ended up getting a very good player, 3 # 1's wow... There is no way I would have played for Irsay either. Dan falling was shocking, the Jets, passing on him, but it all worked out well for him.
