Hmm, I don't care what the win rate stats garbage says, just watch the fricken tape; he ain't worth $13 mil. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong and gets 15 sacks this season, but I doubt it..

I think he just got lost in the shuffle, a few runs of different positions, he was what, thought of as a 5th rounder? Just got lost, Ravens will be happy. At the least, a special teams player, maybe good depth at safety

Too soon to really grade them, but on the surface, I would say a solid B+, maybe even an A, they landed two players the had rated high on their boards and who also filled a need. They should be great rotstional players to start, and be solid starters shortly. If they get the receiver to be a quality 3rd or 4th, as I suspsect, then yeah, A+. Of the street free agents, again too early, some may change their minds, sign elsewhere. But the Ravens are excellent at finding a Dimond in the rough or two. Some will fill out special teams, given how many players the Ravens lost to free agency. One maybe two, a runningback & or defensive player is likely to stick. Someone like Jamion Franklin, dt, 6'-2", 309, could stick as a rotational defensive tackle.

In agreement so far, minds could change, more will be added I'm sure.

6th round, Camp arm, Devin Leary, qb, Kentucky Family member on staff? Why draft a guy who was likely to go undrafted? Members, no biggie

Shame, would have been nice as a back up to Lamar

He is no Perryman, while he does need to work on his hands, alot of those drops were from him trying to do too much after the NCAA, suspended him for some bogus reason about transferring. His speed, likely our kickoff return guy, will open up the field.

Not sure I understand this pick, not fast, not much power, and a torn biceps too boot. Surely there were healthier, faster, or power runners left, even in the 5th...

5th round Rb Rasheen Ali, Marshall

Tez Walker, wr, UNC, Nice pick, a big body with speed. Needs to fix his route running, but the kid can split thr safeties quickly and tracks the ball well.

4th round, TJ Tampa, corner, Iowa St. A converted wide out

Another wasted PSU pick, man. I get it, 3rd round, slim Pickens, but at least take a chance on a player from another school. They may already have their guard in Rosengarden, I know that they were high on him and claim to want to give him reps at left tackle as compete for the right tackle spot. But he is not a very good run blocker, more of a finesse blocker. True, never gave up a sack, but then it's the pack 12, or was, and they moved Penix around a lot.

Oops, Iggles trade up to nab DeJean... I wish they would stop thanking Detroit, man, every draft pick? Just announce the pick move along. The draft was so much better back in the day.

Well, Sweat and Fiske just went off the board, I would love to have had one of them. Man, trades are flying early and often. The way this early round is going, I wonder if the Ravens will trade up or sit tight, maybe get DeJean anyway

Extra, extra, read all about him, he is the fastest corner in the draft, at the combine, only a few 100's of a second kept him from being the fastest player at the combine. The dude is effort personafide, outstanding for someone so young, he will be 21 at the start of the season. Has the height and long arms to contend with big receivers, has the instincts to read a receiver and know when the ball is in the air, then breaking on the ball. As I said way above, he does tend to rely on his speed too often rather than technique, but that is coachable. Some stats, key stats, yeah, it sure was a "d" pick..

Well they are entitled to their idiotic opinion

Nate's highlights, dude can fly

The Vikes made a huge mistake with McCarthy, wow. There is a reason Michigan would rather run 3 times and punt, and it wasn't just because they had a strong defense nor good running game. There are few edge rushers in this draft ready to step in right away, most need a few years. Plenty of offensive linemen left, even with that small run in the first many who can play right away. Defense linemen were thin to begin with but there are several who can be very good depth. Getting the speedy demon corner now was well worth it, 4.2 speed, coach him up on how best to use it.

One word I think describes Wiggins, cagey. May be the best corner in the draft, could also be a while before we see him shine. He is not the most, toughest, takes chances relying on his speed too much, rather than technique and route recognition. Like you, I would have preferred DeSean over Wiggins, more versatile and a better tackler. But can't complain. I'm sure, with Legget on the board, many fans were, are, clamoring this morning.

Teams only need a few games, tapes, to adjust to the nee offenses they face. As for as facing Lamar, they played him the same way, 0 blitz on key downs, tight man coverage sprinkled with match up zones, flood the middle of the field with deep lineback drops on key downs. They play Lamar, not so much the offense, limit his running force him to pass. How did that work this past year? He won another MVP. The only thing to really stop him, in the playoffs, was him; he got too stuck in trying to do too much in the passing game.

Don't know about you, but I am not staying up to midnight to see who the Ravens draft

There were signs last year that he was slowing down his reads and going through them in a timely manner. Sure, they were few and far between but I believe he will get better this year

I'm fine with his running for the most part. He just got caught trying to do too much and either would not run when he should have, holding the ball too long, getting sacked. Or He would just focus in the pocket on one side of the field for so long, he would get sacked. The part I agree with you on is his pocket awareness, which sucks. It has led to him being sacked, fumbling, quite often. Just a slight move up or over would not only give his linemen a chance to move their men past him, or keep the strip sack from happening.

I think this year will tell the tale, he will be well set in Todd's system, study film to see what defenses are doing. With Henry, the backers will have to step up, or freeze in place for a beat which should open the middle up more, a place Lamar is most accurate and where Bateman & Flowers flourish
