I waited as long as I could. Had Chicago, Tennessee, Houston, Minnesota, Seattle before our next pick. I figured each of those teams could scoop him up. Gave the 5th up. 

[drd23]

Big board for the next couple of picks (in case I forget to do it later as the next pick is at 3am here):

1. Marlon Davidson
2. Curtis Weaver (Baun could easily transition to be more of an off-ball LB)
3. Malik Harrison
4. DPJ
5. Damon Arnette
6. Ashtyn Davis
7. Josh Uche
8. CEH

With Curtis Weaver off the board, I would have my board look something like:

1. Clyde Edwards-Helair- He’s probably the best playmaker left in this draft class. He would pair well with Cushenberry and with our gap scheme. His 3rd down ability would also make him an instant contributor. I think he’s a clear cut BPA option (I mean 200 yds on Alabama?)

2. Malik Harrison- Would step into the NFL and pretty quickly could probably become one of the premier thumper LBs as he’s got good to great athleticism and size. Would complete giving us one of the top run defenses upfront. Teams would have to make waves against our opportunistic secondary.

3. Josh Uche- Kind of shares some redundancies with Baun, but between Baun, Uche, and Bowser there’s a lot of versatility for each guy to move in, rotate, play coverage, pass rush, etc. A lot of interchangeable parts there. Uche has elite explosiveness and throwing enough darts at the pass rush position with high level athletes, we would be bound to hit on one if not both options.

3b. Marlon Davidson- Very close between Uche and Davidson. Both are pass rushers with different types of versatility. It might make more sense to go with Davidson’s form of versatility considering Baun’s similarities to Uche, especially considering MD is by far the superior run stop specialist. Though Uche has the superior pass rushing potential. With Jaylon Ferguson potentially being able to play some of the same kind of role as Davidson might see, I would rather take the chance on Uche’s elite athleticism and ceiling over Davidson’s floor. But it’s razor thin.

5. Davon Hamilton- Late bloomer, but having given up a big body in Ellis, Hamilton would be the perfect option to come in as a dominant run stuffer with additional potential that could potentially be unlocked via the veterans along our DL.

Thoughts on double dipping IOL? Hunt is a big power blocking guard. Gives us flexibility with our interior. He is someone with 3rd round grade,  but I like his tenacity  

[ravens5520]

Running backs hitting stride with some late seconds. 
Akers to Pittsburg 

Edwards to Buffalo... bills with 2 rbs under 5’8” ... lmao small ball at its finest

Awesome breakdown of each player. Not to give anything away, each if those dudes are on my shortlist. 

[baltimoreRebel]

With the 63rd Pick in the NFL Draft 

Our Baltimore Ravens Select:

Malik Harrison - ILB, Ohio State 

[baltimoreRebel]

A quick breakdown of our first 3 picks. 

#28 - Zack Baun - OLB

#54 - Lloyd Cushenberry - C/OG

#63 - Malik Harrison - ILB 

[SalvadorsDeli]

Three really great picks from both a value and need perspective.

With the big holes all filled I think we've gotta get out of Round 3 with a wideout now, particularly given that so many of them have already flown off the board.

Although I guess I just remembered we traded for Sammy Watkins in this already, right? So maybe not as pressing as I had originally thought. Still, I'd be looking hard at Edwards/Claypool/Bowden over the next round.

We've made a trade

Ravens Receive:

#76

#156

Vikings Receive:

#69

I still think we'll be able to get our guy. Recouped the 5th we gave up for Cushenberry.

Wow... just realized that Raekwon Davis is still on the board. Would have him above Davon Hamilton. Also I’m extremely high on Tyler Biadasz. Might be some redundancy there with Cushenberry, but if we double dip with those two guys along with what we already have... I have absolutely no concerns with us fielding an elite OL next season, one that’s better than what we had this past season.

At WR there’s not many left that I’m high on. Donovan People’s-Jones and Duvernay being two guys I would have interest in. But not above the above options, especially considering we have Sammy Watkins here.

My order of operation would go:

1. Tyler Biadasz

2. Donovan Peoples-Jones

2b. Raekwon Davis

- Davis is the superior player but there are other run stuffers with potential available, however DPJ is probably the last WR that I’m high on... maybe 

4. Davon Hamilton

5. Lynn Bowden- Would be 5th, but I also don’t know much about the safeties so perhaps one of those guys as that is a spot where a spot can for sure be filled.

[ravens5520]

AJ Dillon HB

Ashtyn Davis S 

Robert Hart OG/OT

a few to add to the list above 

Brooks JR in the 4th could be the safety play if we don’t like Davis in the 3rd.
