coordinator0 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 So. As of now, with a bit more than three weeks to go before the draft, my prediction for Baltimore's pick at 16 is... Derrius Guice. I don't know. He just seems like a guy this front office and team overall would be really high on (like Humphrey last year) and somewhat fits a need. Allen did a respectable job of getting short yardage when needed last season but I feel fairly confident in saying the Ravens want a true workhorse back there. Collins is the lightning, and very effective in a role that doesn't see him getting a ton of carries. Dixon is coming back but he's not exactly reliable and Javorius is in the last year of his contract. This makes sense since Guice might not be a reach at 16 now that things are coming to a head. Just to note - I don't want this to happen. I think Baltimore is fine at running back regardless. But it doesn't feel like drafting a wide receiver high is something the team (ever) wants to do and I'm not sure about another linebacker. If giving Mosley a new contract isn't in the plans, sure like I mentioned in the other thread it makes sense, but at the same time I still think he gets a new deal. If the dime is here to stay as a significant part of the defense, then the sets with two off-ball linebackers (base and nickel) don't have quite the importance they once did.I'm not sure that's happening but the NFL is trending that way and I think this is something teams need to trend with not fight against.

paraven Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I think... If there is a crazy run on WR's I can see ravens taking either Hayden Hurst or Dallas Goedert at 16. If they have the top pick at WR, then they will go with Ridley, if only Ridley is gone, they will pick DJ Moore. They will not though take the 3rd, 4th, 5th receiver in the 1st round like they did with Perriman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paraven Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 So my updated list of players I realistically think will be available at 16 listed in order id take them. 1A/B Ridley/Moore 2) Hayden Hurst (fills a big need) 3) Rashaan Evans (Smith and Edmunds are gone and this fills a big need) 4) Mike McGlinchey 5) Derrius Juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I agree, but taking the 3/4/5th best receiver in the draft at #26 is a bit different calculus value-wise than #16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Significant contingent of folks lamenting them getting a corner in the first over a WR. The 4th WR off the board? Zay Jones in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its insane how much his value has been inflated. I really liked him months back when he was considered a 4th/5th round pick. I liked him just as much as I liked Mike Gesicki and stated that he should be in that 2nd/3rd Round conversation. Dallas Goedert is still the class of the position. But even then, I might be convinced to take him with a late late 1st round, but not at 16. No tight end in this class is that good. I see them as 2nd round values. Perhaps if Goedert put up Mike Gesicki numbers at his proday and was healthy enough to dominate the Senior Bowl, I might’ve changed my tune some on him at 16, but certainly not Hurst.
