Hey everyone been away for a bit been focusing on other things outside of football, hope yall are doing well and ngl I missed being here and talking to all of you
I haven't been too involved in the draft process this year but I've still watched a little bit of film and highlights as well as watching the majority of Edgars youtube videos.
Before I go on a tangent about some WRs I just wanna say I want Creed Humphrey over anything else rn. Center has been a huge issue for us the past 2 years and I think its a more pressing issue for us than RT with Lamar at QB. Internal pressure is always going to be any QBs worst nightmare and we've seen it derail our superbowl hopes the last 2 years. Humphrey could be one of those guys that ends up playing 10+ years at a very high level, you place him at Center and don't look back. He's a perfect fit for our scheme and we've had our eyes on him as a board since he was a freshman. If he becomes a Raven its a slam dunk.
My favorite WR prospects for us at least in round 1 in order are Bateman, Marshall, Moore. Bateman is obviously the best of the bunch imo as he's the most consistent and fills the void of outside threat. I think Marshall has a higher ceiling although his drops are a bit worrisome, he's only 20 and will only get better, comes from a prestigious university known for producing quality receivers. Moore is probably my crush of the bunch, has the best hands i've seen but I don't see us picking him as he'd take opportunities away from Hollywood. I'm not sure he'd win enough outside for us and that's really what we need from the position. If we don't go WR in rd 1 and trade a pick to drop into Rd2 2 id love for us to snag Dyami Brown, this kid can straight ball. He's been extremely overlooked imo and could be a day 1 impact player.
Edge is a position I've probably watched the least and that's more or less because I think this class is extremely underwhelming. Ojulari is prob my favorite of the bunch just because he's the flashiest but he's def a one pitch only kinda guy even though that pitch is extremely effective. Basham is someone I think fits perfectly for us but he's more of a rd2 guy, he'd get to learn from Mcphee and I think we'd be the perfect landing spot for his own sake.
Also I'd love to snag a slot corner somewhere in the middle rounds with Youngs issues staying healthy if ya'll have some recommendations on who to watch feel free to lmk. I havent watched any corners outside of Jaycee Horn during the season
sorry for the long post just wanted to get some thoughts out before the draft tomorrow. I'll be hanging out in the gameday thread during the draft to hang with everyone.
