Maylock says..."42. Baltimore Ravens: Kamalei Correa, DE, Boise State

This kid has fun tape, folks. His best fit is in a 3-4 base defense, so he will fit what Baltimore does. He's relentless and sets a violent edge. His motor and quickness will separate him in the NFL."

OVERVIEW

For three straight years, a member of the Boise State Broncos has left school early for the NFL Draft. Correa follows defensive end Demarcus Lawrence (picked by Dallas in the second round of the 2014 draft) and running back Jay Ajayi (fifth round, Miami, 2015). This year's early entrant is Correa, native of Honolulu, Hawai'i. He earned second-team All-Mountain West accolades in 2015, leading the Broncos with 11 tackles for loss and seven sacks on the year. Two of those sacks came in his last game with the Broncos, a win over Northern Illinois in the Poinsettia Bowl. Those numbers were actually down from Correa's sophomore year stats, when he was named first team all-conference after leading the Mountain West with 12 sacks and finishing third with 19 tackles for loss. In his true freshman year, 2013, he played in every game as a reserve (12 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, sack).

PRO DAY RESULTS

Vertical: 34 inches

Broad jump: 9 feet, 9 inches

Short shuttle: 4.18 seconds

3-cone: 6.96 seconds

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Well­-built and twitched up. Has see ball, get ball traits to work with. Rarely fooled by back­side bootlegs or reverses. Unleashed his impressive long speed and pursuit motor to run down a Utah State running back 51 yards down the field. Tackle finisher when he launches into target. Logged 19 sacks and five forced fumbles over last two seasons. As pass rusher, has explosion potential to create some edge panic with NFL coaching. Has second gear to chase from sideline to sideline.

WEAKNESSES Seems to be more focused on getting out of the blocks quickly rather than gaining ground upfield as a rusher. Hand usage is inconsistent and unrefined. Doesn't use hands as weapons of victory often enough at the top of his rush. As NFL edge player, will have to play with more jolt and power in his punch. Play strength is just average. Lacks feel for down­ blocks and cracks and can be pinned down too easily. Will come flying to the ball at full ­speed and overrun the tackle.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 2

SOURCES TELL US "I wanted to see more this year. It's frustrating watching him because you can see the potential, but he just doesn't unlock it as much as he should. Against that schedule he should have been more productive." -- NFC North scout

NFL COMPARISON Frank Zombo

BOTTOM LINE Correa will likely transition into a full-time 3­-4 outside linebacker as a pro. While he doesn't have as much play strength as expected and is still raw as a pass rusher, NFL teams will be attracted by his quick-twitch athleticism and moldable traits as a pass rusher. The tape says Day 3 of the draft, but the upside could get him called earlier. He might require patience as there is still work to be done for Correa.http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/kamalei-correa?id=2555339

Mike would tell you the pizza guy has a good motor and keeps things hot, on draft night

By trading back Ozzie got Correa and 2 more players.

That's the value.

 

Only value if the players make the team as more than just special teams players. With all the help this team needs on defense and offense, so far the jury is not even born yet, let alone picked and still out.

This draft is turning into this past season... Much ado about nothing...

 

The more I'm learning about and seeing on Stanley. the more I love this pick.

They couldn't get Bosa or Ramsey the sexy picks.

But the Ravens O line carried them to the Super Bowl. When Joe has time, he'll slaughter a defense.
