D.J. Moore. 

Ravens need a lot of help at WR. Moore is younger, more athletic, bigger, and higher ceiling.

[DaBoys]

Ridley, because the Ravens want Dez and I don't want Ridley on the board when Dallas picks.

Ew, please not Calvin Ridley. DJ Moore is easily the better prospect at 16.

[Texas_OutLaw7]

I think Ridley  is pretty obvious here.

[Woz]

The answer as to the position should probably be wide receiver. What player is to taste. Going with Ridley.

DJ Moore over Calvin Ridley for me as well.

I would be fine with McGlinchey or Connor Williams as well.  I'd still really like Moore, but if they potentially sign Bryant, I could see them not taking another WR until rounds 2-4 with the OL in round 1.

Well seeing as though Ridley and Moore are the only realistic options to vote for given the current votes, Moore is the obvious selection. Moore athleticism, moore productive, and moore potential.

Out of curiosity - who would you take if it wasn't a WR?

[paraven]

time to get on that DJ Moore train everybody

[drd23]

I'd definitely want to be trading down here.  If I had to pick between Moore and Ridley, I'm taking Moore

Probably Connor Williams

Im in the minority, but id go with Davenport 

[Dallas94Ware]

Newsome is known for two things in the draft:

-Ignoring need and selecting the best football players possible

-Picking a player from Alabama

He can do both here and select Ridley.

Marcus Davenport is likely the best player available here. So he would make the most sense. He’s raw on his technique and doesn’t have the best conditioning, so he will likely redshirt his first season with the Ravens, but he has an athletic profile similar to a Jadaveon Clowney and you can’t teach that.

That said, if I had to go receiver, I would go with Courtland Sutton. After watching and rewatching this class, I started off not liking him, but in the end, there is no top receiver that sees more double teams/bracket coverage than Sutton. His impact on defenses is clear. Even his poor performances he’s being slowed down with bracket coverage and a lack of arm talent to get him the ball in the windows he creates. Outside of Davenport, I think Sutton is one of the top 3-5 players left on the board. Like Davenport he has things he needs to clean up, for him his tendency to (blatantly) push off to create space is the most obvious fix. His intermediate route running also leave room to be desired. But he’s the most dominant WR in this draft class and probably the most compatible with Flacco’s playing style outside of Dallas Goedert.
