    Round 6

    Our good friend Lance is allowing us to borrow this information for 3 days. Chuck Clark. VT 6'0" HEIGHT 32 1/4" ARM LENGTH 208LBS. WEIGHT 9" HANDS OVERVIEW Clark is yet another tough-minded and athletic defensive back who has patrolled the secondary for the Hokies. One of the top players from Virginia in 2012, Clark stepped into a starting role as a true freshman in the team's bowl game, his second start of the year (22 tackles). Coaches lined him up at safety 11 times in the 13 games he played in 2014, making 73 tackles, 8.5 for loss, 1.5 sacks, an interception and 11 pass break-ups on the year. The interception came in the team's Military Bowl win over Cincinnati. Clark started every game in 2015, being credited with 107 stops, three for loss, an interception, and eight pass break-ups. The Hokies' two-year team captain received honorable mention notice from league media in his final year, as he made 94 stops, 2.5 for loss, and two pass break-ups. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Durable three-year starter. Productive tackler who shows no hesitation to step downhill. Tracks ball carriers with balanced, leveraged approach. Under control as a tackler. Efficient and diligent in his mirror of the quarterback. Head stays on a swivel from receiver back to quarterback. Plays with elevated instincts. He will start breaking on throws at the beginning of quarterback's windup. Has enough range to play over the top and will plant his flag in the ribs of pass catcher to dislodge the throw. Plays with good route anticipation in man coverage. Not easily duped by bunch formations or misdirection. Maintains leverage against slot receivers and crowds in-breaking routes while looking to disrupt at the catch point. WEAKNESSES A shade smaller than teams will like from a combination safety. Can be manipulated by quarterbacks who push safeties around with their eyes. Shows a little stickiness in his hips when faced with coverage transitions. Aggressive nature gets him tangled in the sticky web of play-action fakes. Occasionally voids coverage responsibility to chase running plays that aren't there. DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 6-7 SOURCES TELL US "I guess you like him more than me because I think he's JAG (just a guy). He's instinctive but what else? I don't see anything special. To me, he's a backup who will always be looking over his shoulder for his roster spot." -- NFC Director of Player Personnel BOTTOM LINE Clark is a little smaller than the NFL norm and that will likely hurt him some on draft day since the safety position is often drafted based heavily on physical traits. Clark is a willing tackler who can play a combo safety role thanks to his instincts and ball skills. Position coaches may end up liking him much more than the evaluators who are tasked with finding traits-based talent. Clark could become a third safety who works his way into playing time. -Lance Zierlein

    Round 5

    Make no mistake. This was all Kevin Byrne's call. The Ravens are playing London this year. Unplagiarized bio... 6'4" HEIGHT 33 1/4" ARM LENGTH 332LBS. WEIGHT 9 1/2" HANDS OVERVIEW Eluemunor (eh-LOO-muh-nor) grew up in North London, coming over to the United States at the age of 14. He played rugby in England but moved to wrestling and football in his high school days in New Jersey. He went to Lackawanna College in 2012 and 2013, earning second-team all-conference honors in his second season. Eluemunor redshirted in 2014 and was a back-up at right guard and he continued to learn the game in 2015. He finally got on the field in his final year, showing great promise while starting 12 of 13 games, three at right guard and nine at right tackle. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Girthy, wide body with big bubble and exceptional weight room strength. Functional lateral quickness makes him scheme diverse. Has feet to mirror in pass pro. Has the active feet and movement ability in space to handle combo blocks. Well conditioned. Able to withstand Texas heat and Texas A&M's offensive pace. Has limited football experience and should continue to grow in knowledge and technique. Shows potential to improve with unlocking hips. Hand strength allows him to punch and snatch inside the frame and lock into opponents. Powerful upper body and good core strength provide ammo for sustaining blocks. Experience at right tackle creates roster flexibility. WEAKNESSES Came from overseas and still inexperienced relative to most at his position. Football instincts and intelligence are a work in progress. Has relatively short arms and small hands. Too much wasted motion with feet. Hops and bounces as drive blocker rather than sitting down and driving with powerful, choppy steps. Darting three techniques could be an early issue. Has some forward lean into pass sets. Carries hands very low before punching. Will need to play with compact, quick punch as a guard. Inside hand flies too far outside the frame. Lack of experience creates confusion against twists. DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 3-4 SOURCES TELL US "I didn't think too much about him before we played, but we were impressed with him. He's a really powerful guy and he moves way better than I expected. I thought he was going to be stiff but he's not." -- SEC defensive coach NFL COMPARISON Alvin Bailey BOTTOM LINE Got a late start in the sport and his football intelligence can suffer at times because of it. Eluemunor's girthy frame and core strength are two big check marks for his move inside to guard. Despite his weight, he is light on his feet and can handle zone blocking responsibilities or can pull for teams looking to utilize him in power. Eluemunor is still considered a developmental prospect, but his size and strength could make him an eventual starter in time.

    Round 5

    Noooo! Real HISTORY! Bruno Sammartino is announcing the next pick!
  6. Hey wait a minute! You're asking me to be honest. Just watch. He'll turn into a great road grader. Big, strong, nasty. Low center of gravity and a huge Beyonce fan. He's not going to get pushed around. The Ravens will have a fabulous run game in a year or so if InMornhingwego remembers to call a run play.

    Round 5

    We are witnessing Ravens history.
  8. Great value at 122. This is where you find your lineman. Note: Forget what the experts say. None of them knows anything on any players after the top 10 rated players whom they got all their information on by reading Mel and Mike. They then take what they read, regurgitate it differently, add a twist (like he's a big Beyonce' fan) so that they can't be accused of plagiarism. Sorta like how I got through High School
  9. "It's great to hear from more of our resident experts!" We need to stay calm. As soon as the draft ends, DeCosta, as promised, will call and sign this man to protect Joe Flacco.... What an inspiring human interest story! Should be a great presence in the locker room. How about papa's well researched and thought out conclusion! "I think the offense is screwed." I'm sure we'll hear more from him on this. Here's a sneak peek at one of many fans lining up to call Ravens sports talk radio Monday morning...

    Round 1

    Well...Ok...to further bolster your point, let's add that Chris Hewitt is not doing a stellar job coaching and developing the DB's
  11. In an unannounced 2am meeting last night the ER Board of Directors called an emergency meeting to share thoughts, opinions, expert analysis and things they are not wanting you to know........ The following is the first time in public, that the ER BOD is accidentally on purpose leaking their secret, well thought out conclusions: Ozzie has 3 more picks left today to find defensive players. In a private conversation with Joe Flacco, Ozzie assured Joe that he will get his offensive weapons and O lineman from the undrafted rookies immediately after the last pick in the draft. Justin Tucker will make the most FG's and score the most points in NFL history this year. Ozzie to Steve Bisciotti: "It worked in 2000.Trust me." Marty Morningweg caught on camera leaving the Castle.... Today's fan fest may not be such a gala event....

    OLBTYUS BOWSERHOUSTON AAC Photo of Tyus Bowser DRAFTED BY: RAVENS ROUND2 PICK15 OVERALL47 COMBINE RESULTS GRADE 5.86 ? 4.65 SEC Top Performer 21 REPS 37.5 INCH Top Performer 127.0 INCH Top Performer 6.75 SEC Top PerformerBLUE STAR = COMBINE TOP PERFORMER 6'3" HEIGHT 33 1/4" ARM LENGTH 247LBS. WEIGHT 10 1/8" HANDS OVERVIEW Bowser was looking for a huge senior season, coming off of a junior year where he started every game, making 50 tackles, 6.5 for loss, and 5.5 sacks. Unfortunately, a fight with one of his teammates resulted in his missing a month with a broken orbital bone. He overcame that setback to still garner second-team all-conference honors, leading the team with 8.5 sacks among his 12 tackles for loss in just eight games. Bowser played basketball and football over his first two years on campus. He played all games on the gridiron as a freshman (26 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks) and sophomore (13 tackles, 3.5 TFL, three sacks), starting once each season. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Explosive, quick-twitch athlete. Bursts out of his stance and challenges the edge. Good shoulder turn at the edge of rush and can dip and corner with very tight radius. Showed ability to play in variety of spots. Crisp change of direction ability. Took to his coaching and showed drastic improvement against the run this year. Played two years of college basketball at Houston which shows up with his footwork and fluidity when dropping into space. Has ability to pattern match tight ends. Light is starting to come on for him. Should have a big day at the combine. WEAKNESSES Undersized on the edge. May not have the frame to carry much more weight. Can be engulfed by size. Needs to get better with hands at point of attack. Still has issues where he looks like a basketball guy learning football. Production as pass rusher doesn't match his explosive traits. Pass rush is built around athleticism and not enough around skill. Has to get even tougher and more skilled against the run. DRAFT PROJECTION Round 1-2 SOURCES TELL US "He's got all the athletic traits and explosiveness and none of the consistency of production you want. I still think you are kind of gambling on him if you take him too high but it's going to be really hard to pass on the athlete after what he's done this postseason." -- NFL general manager NFL COMPARISON Eli Harold BOTTOM LINE Ascending pass-rush prospect who is still learning the fundamentals of his position thanks to a late commitment to the sport. Bowser's movement ability in space creates interesting possibilities for teams looking for a twitched-up toy to play with. Bowser lacks production, but his explosive characteristics off the edge will push him up the draft board and give him a chance to play well above where some scouts might project him.
