Nobellythrower Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 if the ravens want a guy that can stretch defenses then get legette in the 2nd, guy clocked in the fastest mph time in cfb and nfl, worthy just quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending that draft capital on WR's is borderline malpractice. That's how you end up having your QB retire at 28 in their prime like the Colts did with Andrew Luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I get the feeling this could be a rare 'Trade Up' year for the Ravens. Especially if a Tackle is the main target, someone they have as OT3 or OT4 dropping down into that late teens early 20s territory. A small bump to secure a better talent might be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 @wackywabbit You'll like this guy. Pearsall would be a solid Round 2 addition at WR if he's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I was just saying wr in the 2nd, don't want to focus on skill positions only good player on line is tyler, the rest are either regressing or question marks, I feel like if lamar has time him and the wrs will do good anyways.

BareYourTeeth Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Big interest in the Arizona Wildcats it seems. Unless a Fashanu or Mims falls to the 20s and they trade up like @DreamKidsaid I think Jordan Morgan is the pick in the first round. I'll believe a trade up from EDC when I actually see one though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need OL, but the calculus hasn’t much changed IMO. Patrick Mekari is still probably the best backup OL in the NFL due to his extreme versatility, we still have him. Worst case scenario, Mekari can be an above average RT starter in the league.. and an improved pass protector over what Moses brought to the table. Then the guard spots aren’t really that bad off considering we got to see Ben Cleveland in starting action with little to no discernible difference from Zeitler’s play. Saala was in strong competition with Simpson in training camp and we have Vorhees added to the fold plus we have another slot to add talent and depth within the middle rounds of the draft. Heck whatever player we draft could be someone with potential to be an elite guard as a rookie and plug into LT next season. In such a scenario where we grab a LT of the future option, Mekari would get an opportunity to compete for the RT position. Lastly we’ve got Ronnie Stanley, who after restructuring his contract is now on the final year of his deal (2025 Converted over to a void year) and with game day start incentives and other incentives for 2024… As it stands, I would quite easily trust what we could put together with our OL as it currently is, more than I trust going into the season relying on Rashod Bateman to be an impact option. So while the obvious answer is to draft OL in round 1 and draft WR in round 2 and probably CB in round 3… I think we have enough in the cupboard where if the BPA at pick #30 was a WR talent, the team could still feel comfortable enough with drafting best player over need. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO. I actually feel good(or at least better) about the potential Round 2 WR options for the first time in years. This class has some interesting options.

You can't be the best backup OL in the NFL and then "worst case scenario" also be an above starting average RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
