Ragnarok Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 15 minutes ago, DreamKid said: As most know the Ravens have historically struggled to land hits at WR in the NFL Draft, and then have similarly failed to develop the guys we bring in. So I want them to stay away from the more dangerous early options and go with the safer WR profiles that are out there. Guys like Kardarius Toney and Rondale Moore are dice roll players with significant red flags. Toney is a 1 Year producer with a 21.6 BOA. Moore has a phenomenal BOA but his ADOT of 5.8 and injury issues are no bueno. Other teams with continually strong passing games, gifted offensive minds/coaches, and a tradition of developing a variety of receiving talents would be better off acquiring them. What is BOA and ADOT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyuk was a one year wonder with a later break out age. I'd say that pick turned out pretty well. And I think Toney can do a lot of the same things Aiyuk can in an offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyuk was also a JUCO transfer, which muddles the BOA evaluation. Very similar to Hollywood Brown for the Ravens who was a JUCO transfer as well. Both had trash BOAs in part because of that, and because they shared an offense with other pro talents- making it harder to accumulate enough production to qualify. Give credit to Kyle Shanahan too. He knows how to use the pieces he has and excels at giving high% opportunities to his guys. Aiyuk and Samuel likely would've had less early success with a different team. The surreal contact balance Toney flashed in some of the highlight plays from his one productive year at 21 Y/O isn't enough to cancel out his putrid production profile as a player for me. Another team wants to roll the dice, more power to them. The Ravens should avoid him like the plague though. I'm hoping for receivers like Rashod Bateman or Elijah Moore to the Ravens. Who have near can't miss profiles behind them, and stellar tape. Baltimore needs slam dunk options, not inebriated accountant taking blindfolded half court shots for a 2013 Camry at a WNBA game options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 For the Bengals it's no one that isn't Sewell or Chase at 5, but speicifically, please no Rashawn Slater at 5. Outside the top 10, ok, but he may be a guard at the next level and he won't be Quinten Nelson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so weirdly specific that I feel like there absolutely has to be a former Ravens receiver who busted and is now an accountant taking blindfolded half court shots at wnba games. Please tell me this was Yamon Figurs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly endless Ravens WR busts out there though, so who knows? Maybe Tandon Doss flashed that Super Bowl 47 ring around and got in good with some accounting firm somewhere?

Could be difficult for scouts to visualize that name in the top half of the NFL's Rec YDS leaderboard 😅. 'Name Scouting' is just a joke, but former scout and current NFLN lead draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah did say at one time he was asked to assign 'Face Grades' to prospects- so rule nothing out lol. Although, while Fryfogle might earn some friendly ribbing with the name conjuring up thoughts of LoTRs' Hobbits or something and other fantasy stories fanciful/silly names. It's likely not as bad in present day as the shortened 'Fogle'. Which conjures up thoughts of a certain predatory former sandwich peddler.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
