oldno82 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Great move by Ozzie to trade up and take the best TE in the draft! This is looking like this draft has the potential to be one of Ozz's two best drafts. Quote
Robjr83 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 As Crav would say.."Doing the Bernie"....Picked up the best TE and screwed the Stealers at the same time. 1 Quote
thundercleetz Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Real good looking prospect. Not the fastest guy but very smooth. Looks like a perfect fit for our offense. We need a big TE who can block and be a red zone option. Williams ran a lot our delayed drag routes off of a rollout. We ran a lot of these plays last season. Love the pick. Quote
vmax Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Oh this is one sweet draft so far.Maxx is round 1 talent.I'm already thinking..."vMaxx" Quote
vmax Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 What do you think Mike? "Ravens following script left by former OC Gary Kubiak of getting big, fast receiver and new, big TE with additions of Perriman and Williams." Quote
vmax Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Williams’ highlight tape displays him making a series of acrobatic one-handed diving catches, a flair for navigating the sideline and red zone that allowed him to catch 36 passes for 569 yards and eight touchdowns as a redshirt sophomore last season. Williams led all college tight ends with nine catches of 25 yards or more last season. Eighty-two percent of his catches were for first downs or touchdowns last season.“I just like to go out there and try to make plays,” Williams said. “That’s the best way I can describe it. I go out there, try and make plays, try to use my body as a tight end, knowing that I’m a little bigger than a wide receiver. Just try to use my body, manipulate it and make a catch.” http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-ravens-trade-up-to-draft-minnesota-tight-end-maxx-williams-in-second-round-20150501-story.html Quote
cravnravn Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 And this draft is exactly why I don't get involved with mock drafts, i am tickled to death in what Oz does, this is an A+ draft in my book. Quote

TBird Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 The best part is, Ozzie stole him from the Squeelers. Wait til you see him in the red zone with that big target onhim for Joe to see. Quote
vmax Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 STRENGTHSFreakishly athletic for the tight end position, which will make him appealing to any team seeking a field-stretching option there. Quickly moves into space on short and intermediate routes, then accelerates to the second level and beyond. Difficult to bring down in the open field—he hurdled lunging defenders on multiple occasions during his college career. More than enough speed to challenge the seam. Creates dream mismatches for quarterbacks downfield, with speed to beat linebackers and pressure safeties plus a wide catch radius. Outstanding body control and hands, too, so QBs can throw him open. At the very least, should be a red-zone staple as a rookie. Sky could be the limit if a team unlocks the rest of his potential.WEAKNESSESEric Ebron learned last year that it takes more than natural gifts to be a successful NFL tight end. Williams must be careful not to suffer the same pratfalls. Can start by honing his route-running. Excelled on contested catches, but was he in so many of those situations because he could not clear more room? Right now, he cannot be counted on as an in-line blocker—ideal team fit would be one with a mauler already in place so he can play the move role in two- or three-TE sets. Subpar blocking goes hand-in-hand, to some degree, with a need to add some strength. Quote

Robjr83 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 He's saying the current TE'S on the team are the losers... Maxx is your day one starter. Pitta/Gilmore just got replaced. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 This is a fantastic pick. I never saw the Ravens getting him. He could be a huge star in a couple of yrs. I don't expect a ton this yr but in 2016 he should be coming. Quote

We reached on a first round talent? We'll see how you feel when Williams grabs a TD over your 5'8" CB you drafted. Quote
