Tommy Kraemer RG #78

Mammoth sized man, mean streak, very lengthy, top notch flex and bend. IOLs are going higher these days, this guy might find himself going in the top half if he plays against CLEMSONS DL alike this, a season of consistently playing this well and he’s gonna have a high stock.

Since we have the capspace to fill out our roster with a ton of value veterans, the next draft would be the perfect time to trade the farm to go get that elite defensive prospect for the front 7. Someone like A.J. Epenesa or Chase Young.

Are those guys worth it though? I’ve seen none of chase young and I’ve only seen highlights of epenesa(if anyone has film please point me in the right direction) and epenesa looked... average to me

Epenesa has a scary combination of length, size, burst, and power. Here's him mostly throwing around Iowa's tackle:

Clean up his technique and he can be the type of guy to take over a game, and he really fits the power edge rushers the Ravens seem to like.

Chase Young though, he's on another level. Young is the type of guy that can be the face of the defense. Here's a really good breakdown of some Young's passrushing ability:

And note, he's just a sophomore when doing this.

realistically, what could the ravens do to acquire a shitload of draft capital for 2020... i cant see any way they can actually do it... id really like to see us go in with like 12 picks and have ammo to spend our first and then trade back into the first shortly after like the skins did. get ourselves a big time impact edge rusher and an ILB, or an edge and another WR, or double down on each side of the line with a derrick brown type of DT and a tyler biadasz. next year just really feels like a year where eric gets aggressive. he was aggressive in getting playmakers this year which is a far cry from ozzie days, maybe next year hes aggressive in terms of maneuvering, im sure he fully understands that we now have a 4 year window before lamar is due and hes not trying to waste it.

i mean depending on maxx's deal we might already have 9 picks next year and we've still got the opportunity to acquire maybe another 6th/7th for kaare vedvik/ any potential roster bubble guys (like correa last year or nick easton etc.)

Odds we could trade jimmy for an early day 3?

I think biadasz is better than the top 3 in this class so I’d take him all day
I do too, but the interior oline class next year is going to be better than this year's too. And this year's was pretty good.

I like Marquise Brown as much as the next guy, but we'd be fools not to take a WR in round one. As of right now, Brown is our only true source of deep speed, and Snead is likely gone. I like Shenault, but he's likely not even the third best WR in this class. Might not even be the fourth. And yet, he'd change this offense for the better. Shenault, Brown, Boykin, Andrews, and Hurst all have slot WR experience, and all three of those WRs have experience on the outside too, and project well there. Imagine the possibilities of Roman lives up to what he's capable of.

This is the draft where we need to finish building up the WR corps in my eyes. Only need one guy to do that.

We can get other Gs and fix the defense next year in FA.

Haare Vedvik to the Bears who are crying for kickers. Might be desperate enough to land a 6th

I would laugh so hard if the Packers drafted Jake Fromm in the first round next year.....
