oldno82 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 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.
vmax Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Trade out of the first, get some more picks and then....OL... the game is won in the trenches.then a nasty monster LB to tighten up the middle of the D.
papasmurfbell Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Unless that dude from Mich is avail at MLB not at 22.
oldno82 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 Trade out of the first, get some more picks and then....OL... the game is won in the trenches.then a nasty monster LB to tighten up the middle of the D. 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.
oldno82 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Posted April 19, 2019 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/
vmax Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 It scares the hell out of me to go WR in the first round.
papasmurfbell Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 They can't draft from fear. At some point they will learn to draft WRs.
JPPT1974 Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Yeah but wonder if they will draft W.R. in the last round!
OutsideRzAcE Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 OL has to be the priority. You can draft a stud at wideout but if the Oline pass protects like it did against SD it wont matter
oldno82 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 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.
vmax Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Over the past 10 drafts, 19 of the 125 wide receivers taken in the first three rounds have reached a Pro Bowl. That's just a 15 percent success rate.......http://www.espn.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/49403/to-help-lamar-jackson-ravens-must-solve-biggest-draft-problem Not good odds.
oldno82 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 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.

Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat and Michigan’s Rashaan Gary – two prospects once widely seen as top-10 picks – could be there at No. 22.If this happens they have to pull the trigger.

oldno82 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 I agree with you on Ford. If he's there at 22 I'd take him and move him to LG.
vmax Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 I can go with this........... NFL Network's Charley Casserly released his latest mock draft earlier this month, and he has the Ravens taking Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown with the 25th overall pick.Brown posted big numbers for the Sooners as a junior in 2018, racking up 1,318 receiving yards and catching 10 touchdowns from Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray.The Ravens will enter the draft with the 22nd overall pick, but Casserly predicts the Ravens to trade down a few spots to grab a wide receiver. The move could turn out to be a win-win for Baltimore; the team needs an influx of talent at the position, and this year's group of wide receivers is as bunched up as Casserly can remember...........https://www.pressboxonline.com/2019/04/23/charley-casserly-ravens-will-trade-back-take-receiver-in-first-round
vmax Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said he was accused of having "a beaming smile" after the Ravens selected Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown in the first round of the draft. The next day, a still delighted Roman said that the Ravens' plans for the dynamic Brown will be "only limited by our imagination.""He has that kind of skill set," Roman said as he sat alongside Brown and receivers coach David Culley at the rookie's introductory news conference at the Under Armour Performance Center on April 26. "We can play him inside, outside, short, deep, all kinds of things. ... He brings that kind of versatility to the Ravens."In Brown, the Ravens see a dynamic complement to quarterback Lamar Jackson who can blow the top off the defense but also turn short passes or reverses into big gains with breakaway speed.At Oklahoma last year, Brown (75 catches, 1,318 yards, 10 touchdowns) tied for the national lead in catches of 40-plus yards (11), 50-plus yards (seven) and 60-plus yards (four)..............https://www.pressboxonline.com/2019/04/26/ravens-oc-greg-roman-marquise-brown-addition-changes-everything
