The funniest part - Kiper sucks with his drafts for several years now.Mel kiper have us taking Erik McCoy 22nd overall in his latest mock draft. With lindstrom going 1 pick ahead of us. The funny part? Cody ford to the chargers at 28...

has he ever been good at it or are there more mock drafters that are much better than him.The funniest part - Kiper sucks with his drafts for several years now.
He has always shown respect to the Ravens, so Kiper is okay with me.The funniest part - Kiper sucks with his drafts for several years now.
Kiper is awesome. Baltimore through and through. He is the absolute original draft geek. He used to spend hours on the telephone every day paying long distance in order to reach a trainer or assistant coach from some Podunk university. he did this stuff in an internet free world before anyone else had the gumption.He has always shown respect to the Ravens, so Kiper is okay with me.
I agree - I refuse to dis anyone in the national media with his profile who is a staunch supporter of Baltimore football.Kiper is awesome. Baltimore through and through.

Interesting that he only projects one of the OTs in the to 50 to be a OG at the next level (Jonah Williams). Ford was still projected as RT and was 5th O line on his list, behind Bradbury, who is well above (#22) the only other C on his list (Erik McCoy #40).not a mock but here's DJ's updated top 50 ranking

I think he gets heat for every poor prediction because of his profile as The Mock Guru. He basically created a cottage industry and that can't be forgotten. The enthusiasm he brings to the entire process is great and he's fun to listen to.
funny thing is PFF is also comparing Simmons to Chris Jones. I have a feeling Simmons ends up at the bottom of the 1st. I like Tillery as well. In the 2nd round of the FM, I was looking at both Tillery and Simmons and Tillery went before my pick, which didn't matter because I have Simmons rated higher.Remember when I touted the fuck outta Jerry Tillery and everyone was all meh.. pff did a head to head mock yesterday with Tillery going I think 12th, with them saying that Tillery has an extremely high pass rush grade similar to Chris Jones who they also touted as a top ten talent. Reinforces my feeling on Tillery a bit, especially knowing that I had Chris Jones pretty highly graded, although not top ten
Ya I’ve seen media say they’d be surprised if it’s not a WR in the 1st, but I honestly feel the opposite. I don’t see it happening because Ravens just don’t value the position highly (and other teams do) so most prospects are gonna go before what they think they’re worth. I mean I totally understand it’s a huge need, but it’s almost always a huge need that they never address.Interesting that he only projects one of the OTs in the to 50 to be a OG at the next level (Jonah Williams).

WR - Marquise Brown (#16) and D.K. Metcalf (#17) are widely separated from the next group - Ridley (#36), Brown (#37) and Neal (#42)
The more I think about it, the less likely I think it is that we end up with a WR for our 1st pick, unless we trade back significantly - even possibly in the 2nd round. I see a lot of mocks where people are force-mocking a WR to us and giving us a guy that rarely if ever appears in the 1st round in other mocks. That's the definition of a reach and I don't think we're going to do that.
I mocked Tillery I believe with my first mock of this offseason.funny thing is PFF is also comparing Simmons to Chris Jones. I have a feeling Simmons ends up at the bottom of the 1st.

If you think back to this time a year ago, a lot of people thought Ridley was a future bust... they were idiots and thought so for idiotic reasons, but yeah, that crowd existed and it was a big one, actually a lot of that crowd was ravens fans because dj Moore was the Maryland guy that everyone wanted and so they had to bash Ridley to convince everyone that Moore was better:..Ya I’ve seen media say they’d be surprised if it’s not a WR in the 1st, but I honestly feel the opposite.

I mean I totally understand it’s a huge need, but it’s almost always a huge need that they never address.
Also, there’s no complete WRs in this class just ones that win in limited areas. They all come with some decent risk and development needed. There is no sure fire, pro ready receiver like Calvin Ridley was last year. I still can’t believe we took Hurst over him, that was literally the perfect chance for us to grab a young WR (Already refined, wins with speed/routes, decent value, from Bama). Metcalf would be great if he falls to 22, but that’s very unlikely. It’s much more likely the FO waits until day two and three to take a few swings and hope one develops
That would be a great draft for us.Just watched PFF’s mock draft (3 rounds) on YouTube
1st round: Cody ford
3rd round: miles Boykin and oshane ximines.
I would be happy with this draft
