DreamKid Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 WR usage rates. The Ravens aren't looking to add a slot player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC he has found a negative correlation between a WR lining up in the same position in college and NFL success, but I don't remember how strong that correlation was or how he came to it. If it is true though, its not good for Metcalf, Harmon and Ridley as prospects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BareYourTeeth Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 At this point we can probably land Polite in the third round. Take Simmons in the first after trading back a few spots too? Yeah, that would be glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltimoreRebel Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just a little opinion here. I think Metcalf is out of our range now. I'm completely on the K'neal Harris train. If he's there when we pick, I'd run that card up real quick. Let him grow with Lamar. Big bodied receiver who can fight for the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has lousy separation on most of his routes, the same bad drops as the other receivers and doesn't really offer that much of an upside. I am somewhat surprised he is ranked that high.

The guy has tremendous upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from 2017 Of that list only 2 or 3 of them have been successful NFL receivers, and none of the ones from this list that were drafted in the 1st round have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously people will point out that planting a good WR on one side of the field isn't going to to make them a worse player, or necessarily damn their prospects as a pro. What the information does highlight though. Is an already steep learning/adjustment curve, possibly being a degree steeper for those with a less versatile deployment background. Developing receivers is already an extremely volatile process. So anything that could make the task more arduous/difficult must be accounted for. Good to see the guys I'm the most comfortable with check another box. Isabella, Hall, Butler, JJAWS etc. Ridley though is continuing down the ol' polarizing path. Which is a little unsettling, as I think he's inching closer and closer to being a likely 3rd Round pick for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It's astounding that Metcalf never took an offensive snap from anywhere but the left outside position at Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
