So what draft position will the Ravens be in? 14th pick

[papasmurfbell]

On the Bain front I hope it becomes a Suggs issue.  I take him in the 2nd easy.  The tape don’t lie.

[tsylvester]

Oh for sure take him in the 2nd, a better prospect, arm length or not, than Green. 

[oldno82]

He has had a history ankle injuries but if he's there in the 2nd I'd draft him too. But he's too risky for a day one selection.

[tsylvester]

The big question is, do they draft a center in the 1st, a bit high for one, check that, this draft is not great for centers, most are either not good at drive blocking or, lack the size/strength to do so. 

[papasmurfbell]

Round 3 or so for a center.

[oldno82]

ESPN's highest rated C comes in at 60th overall in draft. Conner Lew from Auburn. I don't know a thing about him other than that.

[tsylvester]

All of their top 5 centers lack power & or size. Not what I want in a center. This team needs one who can love a nt on 3rd & 4th and one

[oldno82]

Maybe a trade?

[tsylvester]

Free agency perhaps, where they could still find a tackle,Cam Robinson amd tight end, David Njoku, to solve two holes

[tsylvester]

3rd round, if he is there, I would love for them to draft Elijah Serrat, wr, Indiana. Not the speedster most teams are looking for, 4.6 in the 40. However, at 6'-2", 215, great catch radius and tremendous hands. He blocks out the dbs with relative ease, and makes the difficult coverage catches. His run after the catch is pretty darn good.

The Ravens need a slot man who can make those catches, over the middle, along the sidelines, deep, doesnt matter. The ball in the air is his. 

[oldno82]

I hope we're not going to pursue AJ Brown for a first and third round pick. We need higher priority positions filled before another WR. Plus I don't like giving up a first rounder as part of a package for anybody other than a young franchise quarterback which we don't need this year.

[tsylvester]

I highly doubt it. The guy has proven to be a malcontent, whether he is getting his touches and touchdowns or winning a ring, he is always complaining. 

[oldno82]

I think the draft is then a better option for another WR. Not in the first or second rounds but sometime in the 3rd or even later.

[oldno82]

I hope we're concentrating on the offensive and defensive lines in the early rounds.

[tsylvester]

With Minter, Weaver & Declan, will they sway the organization away from the bpa strategy they have been using since the beginning?

[papasmurfbell]

No.  Eric has all the control now.

[tsylvester]

He was trained under and with Ozzie, so we shall see

[papasmurfbell]

I could train under Einstein but I still won’t grasp quantum mechanics.

[tsylvester]

That's why you post on message boards like the rest of us, we are not worthy to be gms

[papasmurfbell]

I think I could do better as a gm than 2/3 of the league.  So many make such poor decisions all the time.
