I'd like to see the stats on those taken after the first 3 rounds. Even lower than round 1-3 success rates I'm sure. The success rate is 0 though if you don't draft any.

Maybe we can have both. Draft OL in round 1 then package a 3 and 4 to move back into round 2 and still get a really good WR. It's a deep draft for receivers.

Great news,,,I just hope he gets more accurate.

Don't you think we should go WR for our first pick? Skill positions get gobbled up and we don't have (yet) a second rounder. Then OL and ILB? https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/

Hmmm... I don’t think 9 wins gets us into the playoffs.

Getting more picks is a good idea and giving OL is my priority too. But before I'd take an ILB I think I'd go for a WR then an ILB.

Just a 'for fun' question: on which position should the Ravens concentrate on in the NFL draft: WR, OL, LB, RB? That's assuming all of them have a BPA when our turn comes.

I'm not worried at all by the running game. I think with Lamar, Edwards, Dixon, and Ingrahm we're loaded. It's the passing game that I worry about.

OK, Max...sounds like they did as much as they can. You're right about not being able to draft a whole WR corps in one year. I still wonder, though: why only a one year contract?

His stats haven't been very impressive as far as I can see but his highlights indicate a tough guy on YAC. As long as he catches the ball and can block I'll be OK with it. I just wonder why we're still doing one year rentals.

Yup...cool article!

Maybe. Maybe they tried or are trying. His injury history hurts his value though.

I don’t know about this move. Smacks of another one year and gone guy.

Additional info...the last time the Ravens traded out of the first round was 2012. They took Upshaw and Osemele. The mess with Kindle and Cody occurred in 2010. Geez! Time flies! 9 Years ago!

All I can say is that I hope so. We'll know in just a few weeks I guess. What would you say to trading Jimmy Smith for a 2nd rounder? I don't think it's a great idea but it's something to think about. Also don't know if we could get a second round pick for him. And I hate the idea of messing with the secondary which may be the best in the league. Tough questions.

They've sure shown a liking for trading back and I don't mind that. I just don't want a debacle like we had with the Sergio Kindle/Cody mess where we traded out of the first round and took those two guys in the second. That was awful. And that worries me.

Well, we've heard from DeCosta. He sounds impressive but we'll have to wait for results. Our strategy seems to be like it was last year. Any ideas about how we can pick up a decently placed second rounder?

Yup.

I understand that...I'm just prioritizing. The secondary may be good enough with the pass rush we have now (cringe!)

No second round pick is killing us. I'm pro-Oline and WR for 1st 2 picks.

Agree with that.

Dammit! We don't want a WR with a dropping passes issue!!! https://ravenswire.usatoday.com/2019/03/26/2019-nfl-draft-ravens-draft-wr-in-draft-wires-latest-mock-following-free-agency/

Good one, varaven!!

I think they may have thought Mosley was going to stay because he was so verbal about doing so. In the end though, the lure of more money, big money, became too tempting for him. He certainly isn't worth all the money that he wound up with and the Ravens usually don't overpay.
