Dunno Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 In the spirit of papasmurf's threads on various positions, I figured a similar thread but based on reported visits to the Raven's headquarter. Aaron Wilson reports Ravens bring in DBs Josh Robinson, Phillip Thomas, Ron Brooks and Buddy Jackson for visit Josh Robinson's 40 yard dashhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQgNyl0yVMw Josh Robinson vs Georgia (Liberty Bowl, 2010 season)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiO997bxcZY Quote

Dunno Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Philip Thomas (hattip papasmurfbell)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMKTJSsE_Js Can't really find any video of Buddy Jackson (except one special teams TD in a game recap vs Utah). Edited April 5, 2012 by Dunno Quote
ravensfanatic77 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Robinson and Brooks look decent but I am in no way blown away by either of them. I assume Robinson would be primarily a returner and 4th CB at best; he does have crazy speed but he doesn't look very physical. If he slipped to the 3rd I would consider taking a chance on him. Quote

Dunno Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 Aaron Wilson tweets: Delaware C Gino Gradkowski has visited Ravens Can't really find any film on him, only a few flashes in highlight films of team wins. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/blogs/sports/ravens/ravens-georgia-c-ben-jones-worked-out-for-ravens/article_0dbc122e-8673-11e1-9113-001a4bcf887a.html Georgia C Ben Jones worked out for Ravens I really like him. He could be had the 2nd day. Quote
thundercleetz Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Ben Jones would be a really good pick. Has experience at both guard and center. Tough guy with good insticts. He could give us immediate contributions at guard and could possibly be a quality long-term option at center. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 That is why I say no on Kronz. They need to get Something that is more valuable there. OC's just should not be 1st rouynders. Quote
Dunno Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 I don't see them drafting an OC or OG that can't also play OT in the first round. The value just isn't there, particulary not when they are zone blocking. Think about it, Grubbs was a 1st round pick, a starter for most of his time here and they still let him walk away after his rookie contract. In the first round, they are either going to draft someone with special physical skills (like Ngata) or off the charts intangibles (Lewis). I just don't see either with Konz. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I think Grubbs was a starter from day one. Quote
thundercleetz Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I don't like what I see of Stephen Hill. Don't get me wrong, the size, speed, and body control is tempting. However he does not go up for the ball at its highest point, he body catches, and in those highlight videos he had some painful drops. I am not saying Hill won't be a good player, but I think a guy like AJ Jenkins has just as much of a chance to have an immediate impact. Jenkins reminds me a lot of Jeremy Maclin coming out of college. Similar playing styles. This draft is deep in receiver, very deep. No reason to take Hill in the first when there might be a guy in the third that has just as much of a chance to succeed. Quote
ravensfanatic77 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 AJ Jenkins will be gone by the mid 2nd round. His stock has been going up since the Combine...if Hill or Wright aren't the pick in the first round then look for Sanu in the 2nd or a slot/returner type WR like TY Hilton in the 3rd. Quote
ForceEight Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Maybe it's just me, but I like Randle infinitely more than I do Hill. Quote
