Oh gosh I certainly hope not. While Lewis was good it was only for a short time and he never really got out of the stutter step. Gordon is much the same way, in the stutter department only. He is not a power back, don't let his size fool you. He got stuffed up the middle more often than a turkey at ThanksGiving. He doesn't catch well out of the back field, has trouble hanging onto the ball being stripped often enough to say he is a fumbler & is a terrible blocker. If any back has bust written on him, it is Gordon

Given the issues with Peters, if they stick to their "attitude rocks" they will not go for him. I could see a corner taken at 26, since both Webb and Smith are costly and injury prone, they could use one. I just don't think there are any worthy, who will be left, at 26 including Collins, Peters, Johnson. They can easily get the same talent and the "potential" from later in round 2, maybe even round 3, with the likes of the U's (of Ohio), Quinten Rollins, who also projects to be a safety, which the Ravens have missed on in the past two drafts.....

Not sure they will pull the trigger, but I could see DGB taken in the 2nd by the Ravens if he drops that far It would be a slap in the face and go against what they have been saying about questionable character & work ethic. Dupre would be sweet if he lasts that long, but I think they go with Virginia DE/OLB Eli Harold. It might be a reach for him, but he has the quickness they like and at 26, if all the receivers top rated are off the board, I could see them taking the chance on him.

Doubtful, he played all season with it,.... it isn't that serious.... bring him home Ozzie!

I thought maybe it would be higher. Any time you give young adults that much money, even at the league minimum, when they have no real education on finances, bad things happen. Throw in money grubbing family & friends, bad investments by people one would think they can trust and boom, it is all gone... http://www.cnbc.com/id/102585929

I guess it goes without saying I strongly disagree with their assesment of Strong..... BTW, in Mel's latest mock, he has 7 wide outs going in the firt round, none to the Ravens, having them take Marcus Peters from Washington, with Strong going to the Cheifs at 18, Funchess, talk about a reach if it did happen, going 21 to the Bungles, the 7th wide out going to the Saints at 31 Nelson Agholor..... If it fell that way, I wouldn't mind Peters, but I would expect Godman who Mel has going to the Pats at 32....

There is no difference. Both men said they would move the teams if they did not get new stadiums. Neither did, both moved; case closed.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2015/04/03/pj-williams-florida-state-dui/25265771/ stupid is as stupid does........

Mel's newest mock has 4 wide outs going in the top 10, the 4th, Perriman... Were the draft to go that way, I would hope the Ravens turn to Kentucky for a hybrid, multi-talented Dupre...

He has the instincts you want on a corner/safety. However, he is raw, didn't go up against the to talent there at UConn, and a team wil take him earlier than he should go, but were I the Ravens, a 2nd wouldn't be too high for me to nab him, you can't teach that athleticism and as I said, he hs the instincts.

Both are great to extend, worth keeping aorund for a few more years.

Such a great move, just hope they don't lose the pick because of tampering with Ngata........

He (Byron Jones) ran a 4.36 at his pro day to go along with a 12'.3" broad jump and 44" high jump!........ wowza....

as long as tey don't use the back side screen to the tight end, Shaub will be fine.......

McChicken has has 4 wide outs going in the top 15, 3 in the top 10; Cooper, White and Parker rounding out the 10. I don't buy that, me thinks the dirty positions will go higher than expected. With the Jernigan pick last year, I just can't see the Ravens going dt/de/olb this draft at 26, maybe if they trade down. Armstead is a solid player with a ton of potential, but not first round, in my opinion, he needs too much work. I have seen mocks that have him going well before the Ravens pick. I've also seen Goldman's name, FSU, mentioned as possible for the Ravens at 26. If anything, the Ravens have shown they can find solid defensive tackles, ends, outside linebackers late in the draft and as undrafted; their positional coaches are that good at teaching.

I played tight end on offense, was the long snapper and on field goals, line backer on defense. Yes, so long as one reported to the official, since I wore the number 16, I could snap the ball. The rule is that the ball must touch the qb's hands when he is under center. Thus, snapping it to him, him setting it on the ground. It's an old play, a small college team actually pullled it off last season. The full back is simply a misdirection... You are correct, these trick plays are against the spirit of the rules. However, there used to be, may still be a rule that says an offensive or defensive cannot do anything that would "trick" the oppossing team. Generally we see this called when a defensive player mimics the snap caddance, when a quarterback bobbs his head too hard to similate a snap, or when a center moves the ball ever so slightly. The Cowboys, way back, used to have their linemen set up bent over and when the qb would say "ready" they would stand up then get into their stance. This became norm for them, but was designed to draw defenders off sides. It worked for a bit, every now & then, they eventually went away from using it. My only point is that all the defenders had to do was listen to who was reorting inelligable, and not cover that player no matter where he lined up. Proper coaching would teach that, especially against Bill B.

We used to run, yes, I am dating my self, the fumblusky. either my self, 16, or our full back, 32, would report in as eligable and play center. It wsa normal for me to do this since I snapped for punts & field goals. Any who, the ball would be snapped to the qb under center who would then place it on the ground under which ever of us was runnging the play. The center, one of us, would then pick the ball up without leaving the snapping position, pretend to pull and circle back running the option... It worked.. We also ran a fake punt with me snapping the ball and goiing out for a pass; I could because I would report religable. Our coach told us every practice, 1) to report to the officials to declare and 2) to pay attention on defense for who was being declared inelligbale; follow were the lined up. We rarely had an issue, why? Because of proper coaching.

What "scares me" is Dick Cass back tracking, as it were, on the question about a players "criminal history" saying instead of; not any more, it is a case by case basis. I sure hope that doesn't mean they are considering DGB at 26..... Parker would be sweet, if he falls into the 19-22 range or lower I could see them trading up for him. Figure the Steelers (22) just signed DHB, the Bengals (21) don't need a Parker as bad as other positions, nor do the Lions (23) or Eagles (20) . So if he gets down into that range, (I do think the Browns will take a wide out with Gordon's issues at either 12 or 19) it could work. I don't think he goes top 15, unless the Phish (14) or Niners (15) take him. If he gets past them, the only other teams needing a wide out with, if it goes this way, the Texans (16), Chiefs (18), and Browns (19) { if they don't take one higher}, That would leave Parker, Strong, Perriman and DGB still on the board. Cheifs definatley need one for sure, Texans could go any which way, they need help in the secondary badly, but with the loss of Johnson, they could really look at one of those four wide outs.

Papa, I know remeber Mel and a few others saying on tv, prior to his injury, that he was a first round talent. I watched a lot of his college games and I tend to agree there.... I will see if I can dig up their report. An article from Buffalo- http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2013/08/james-hurst-a-top-draft-prospect-faced-with-taking-on-jadeveon-clowney/

Yeah I hope a team jumps off their seats after seeing his pro day and takes him in the first, that will increase the likelyhood of the Ravens getting a shot at a top wide out. Making great catches, getting open deep is great, but if you drop one that is in your hands, that you need to extend out to catch on a crossing route, you are no good to me.

That would depend on how much and how often he smoked. If he goes through an 1/8 ounce a day or more, normally, for say a month, it will take 3-4 months to get out of his system. Now, if he just used it recreationally, a few puffs per night, every other night or so, then yes, 30 days. A little less frequently, and I've seen it get out of a system in 10 days. It all depends on how much, how often and what types of fluids they drink each day. Faster metabolisms get rid of it quicker, yes, I used to be a 1/4 ounce per day smoker, back in my college days, 3 foot bongs etc, hash, as well... My biggest issue with him is not the smoking, but his claim, his words mind you, that he was addicted to it, but all of a sudden, now, after he was caught, AGAIN, he doesn't have an issue with it, sure, ok...

Stupid rule, just pay attention to the announcement of who reports eligible. We did back in HIGH SCHOOL, what, millionares can't? Just as dumb as saying they, the NFL, doesn't have the money to put four more cameras in the endzone for better coverage........

Perriman, 4.24 40 at his pro day.... wow,,,, too bad he doesn't show that type of speed on the field...
