cravnravn Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It's here, I'm so ready for football and hear how our top picks do in camp. And to throw gas on my fire yesterday was the first day of practice for the high schools down here, my work connects to a Daytona practice field. To hear that thump of a foot kicking a football, coaches whistles, players clapping, it was music to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado700 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Only one team in the entire NFL gets an A+ in this draft, and only one other Raven fan responds. I thought it would be a much better response with that kind of great news for our team. Guess I was wrong. It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I try not to dive too much thought into draft grades. Oz got solid grades when we got Kindle/Cody. Perrimans hands scare me, Williams is obviously a great pickup but you never know. These are not free agents but unproven NFL rookies. The word is always potential.

oldno82 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 It's certainly a feather in Ozzie's cap and, in fact, the whole organization. I didn't get too excited over the A+ because I've seen grades as low as B, but that ain't bad either. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I believe Perriman's speed, size, and ability to get open will overcome any drops he might have. Hell, even Steve Smith can have multiple drops in one game but I think he's too old a dog to be taught new tricks. I think Engram will have a positive influence on Perriman's catches and minimize the drop problem. Torrey had a bunch of drops his first year too and he got better and better with that.

Robjr83 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 IMO it wasn't Torreys drops that killed him it was that he was "soft". If Perriman has the guts to fight for the ball I'll forgive him making a few drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado700 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Ditto.Fox sucks- an opinion commonly shared by opinionated liberalsIt is a draft- DUHHH !Grading them is useless- I believe that the "grader" (Foxsports) determined them each by their college records and ability, not their pro careers, which haven't even started yet, so how is this useless?

dc. Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Re: disliking Fox - their sports coverage and news coverage are different. I don't have anything against their sorts, I just think most general sports sites post these articles for clicks not for true analysis. I more agree with the issue if grading a draft now... The Ravens did well for their needs, didn't need another source to tell me that. But real analysis can't happen till we know if these guys are actually worth it. So, I just don't much care what our grade was according to anyone at this point. Good for you if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
