DreamKid Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Luckily they don't have a 1st Round pick and he'll be long gone. It's irritating though. We better pick him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 7 hours ago, DreamKid said: I, for one, would be very sad if Gus Edwards was marginalized because the team drafts a top running-back prospect on top of signing Ingram. He's not elite but the dude was just plain productive for the Ravens this past year when the opportunity arose. Consistently getting those tough yards counts for something. Doesn't it? Le sigh... There isn't a Lamar Jackson fall-back option to boost spirits after taking a Hayden Hurst situation this year. Not without a second round pick. Yup, this is where I'm planting my flag this season. No running backs drafted in the top 100. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like what I see from McLauren. Definitely like him better than Campbell. I think he’d be the kind of player Harbaugh would love to get on the field. Harbaugh usually plays favorites, but McLaurin’s special teams ability, propensity to block, and deep threat skillset would make a lot of sense. Add in solid hands and he just needs to clean up his feet and he could really do damage at the next level. He’d pair perfectly with a double dip of he and JJ AW at some point earlier in the draft. Throw in Ryqell Armstead, Jefferey Simmons, and Sheldrick Redwine and that’s the perfect haul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danand Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I don't know if I/we are too far into the draft with regard to the knowledge of talents/draft prospects pros & cons, but most of those underrated guys isn't really underrated imo. Hjalte Froholdt might be the most obvious one, but it is also because most media pundits still haven't figured out, that he has played oline for only 3 years. After his first year as a guard, he was one of the team leaders and is in general described as a guy who wins because he has good mobility and a good head on his shoulders. He is far from a finished product. McLaurin could be a Patriots 1. round pick. While you want more than a #3-4 wr and a core special teamer out of your 1. round pick, McLaurin offers that floor, while a Metcalf who never figures the nuances to the position is a bust and out of the league and has little use. The Lamont Gaillard is a well known prospects on danish boards, mostly because he is such a dominant physical force. But again, in the current GM mock I am in on a danish board, oline and dline are coming off the board fast - we don't care much for skill position players.

DreamKid Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Big number for JJAWS. Cements him in that early Round 2 area I bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danand Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just completed my annual GM mock for the Ravens (also had the pleasure of destroying the Steelers and Bengals draft in the process) Wound up with this group: 1. round: Cody Ford, OL 3. round: Emmanuel Hall, WR 3. round: Ben Banogu, Edge 4. round: Sheldrick Redwine, DB 5. round: Darwin Thompson, RB 5. round: Jalen Jelks, Edge 5. round: Derrick Baity, CB 6. round: Kendall Joseph, ILB 6. round: Greg Dortch, R/WR Some idiot Steelers GM chose Jeffery Simmons right before the Ravens picked – had Simmons been there, he would have been picked. Obviously I am pretty happy with Ford. I believe he can be that physical presence on the interior oline that can help us dominate the running game, but also be an athletic option on pulls. He could also slide to tackle, if that is needed, although that is not the intention. Emmanuel Hall has his own concerns with hands and a somewhat limited set of routes in college. He came up big against tough competition, has the ability to separate quick off the line of scrimmage and I believe he can be a starter early simply due to his traits, where he atleast can work as a decoy and a WR that creates room for the rest of our receivers. Banogu will be a rotational guy – and while I much prefer his teammate in L.J. Collier, Banogu offers an athletic skillset and a high motor. In a scheme that relies on confusion, Banogu fits well in that regard. Sheldrick Redwine I think we have talked about plenty. Solid all around DB – my biggest hope is, that we can teach him to read plays better and then make him play faster. If we learn him that, I think we get a steal in the 4th round. Darwin Thompson is a supplemental pick – he doesn’t have the same burst as Tarik Cohen or is as athletic as Darren Sproles, but his ability to churn out 4-7 yards off screens and dump offs will be efficient with Lamar Jackson at QB. Jalen Jelks is a pure upside pick, that would most likely have to redshirt. Derrick Baity is thought of as a guy who can replace Canady next season. Kendall Joseph is depth at linebacker. Dortch is competition at returner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondbull424 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I really wanted to like Hakeem Butler because we share the same hometown city, but his feet were just so slow and lumbering. I thought his teammate Allen Lazard was a better more athletic option with better hands last season. Not sure why Butler is so well regarded yet Lazard, especially when compared to his former teammate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drd23 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Miles Boykin is an athlete who hasn't turned his athleticism into production in college. Given that the Ravens haven't shown an ability to actually develop WR talent, we should have nothing to do with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
