General Draft Thoughts

AJ with Greenard seems unrealistic but at the some time amazing so far as a pass rush.
Judon...Campbell...AJ.....Greenard with our secondary? Thats pretty great.

another later round option. Perhaps AJ in the first with either of these two in the 3rd

Judon.....Campbell....AJ.....Taylor or Kareem
I’d be all about this as well. To me, pass rush just seems like the most glaring need (by far!) on our entire team. Our D-linemen combined for 4 sacks last year, and our only somewhat passable pass rusher is playing on the franchise tag. There is no guarantee he stays after this year. Waiting in the wings are Tyus (who is a free agent after this year) and Jaylon. We need more talent in the worst way. Imagine how good Wink could get our defense to play if we could generate organic pressure. Sure, we need O line and WR help as well, but I’m A okay with using two of our first three picks on pass rush, whether that is D line or EDGE. In fact, I’d be a bit disappointed if we didn’t do exactly that, with the other pick being a WR. I doubt Ruiz gets to us, so it’ll probably be Biadasz or someone like that in the 4th. Ideally Muti if the injuries drop him that far.

We need to take the top available WR in round 1, unless an epenesa falls. Robert Hunt has become a likely BPA at one of our round 2 picks for me, he’s such a fit here

cant get over how annoying ryan mink is. Even when you hear him talking about murray all he says is how big and fast he is and that he wouldnt hesitate to take murray .

never have i found someone so annoying . His face and voice doesnt help.

These guys just buy into what mainstream media say rather than watch tape.

at this point WR is now further back in our needs.

DeCosta takes advantage of every channel he has to spread rumors.

For Hunt we might have to trade down into the early second. Too many teams need o-line help and they might see him as a potential RT.

Idk, there’s a lot of true tackles in this class, and being a small school guy who’s obviously a better fit inside

In fairness, him and Garrett aren’t football people, just media. And in this case, then amplifying the mainstream Kenneth Murray hype makes it more likely someone we actually want falls.

Yeah, not a fan of Mink either, but I think both are annoying.

my question then to everyone is who are the realistic guys who might fall that we'd go up for into the low 20s?

For some reason Andrew Thomas seems to be considered a faller, but that’s all big speculation by people who likely know Jack shit, if he falls he could be a real target, any of the big 3 WRs, epenesa, which ever is the faller between brown and kinlaw.

the likely one id say is epenesa, strikes me as a guy the ravens absolutely would move up for, probably their ideal target this year and they’re probably loving the free fall he’s experienced from the combine, which btw wasn’t even that bad.

i was thinking epenesa too tbh - i dont think any of the top 4 tackles make it out of the top 15 and it would be wild if any of the 3 WRs you're referring to make it past the eagles at 21 - epenesa feels the most realistic of any of them but might also be the one the ravens most want anyway

Yup, and the biggest threat to take epenesa if he’s falling is one spot ahead of us, hopefully the cowboys don’t see him as a one shot fix all for their DL troubles and value him over a db. If he makes it past Dallas we then have to start making sure nobody is gonna trade back with Seattle.

Latest 7 rounder, picking only as the Ravens

I took Epenesa over Queen or Murray

Chinn is listed as S but he is very versatile, he has also been getting a lot of buzz for a small school guy, I took him on the belief he can play LB

I took Pittman over Aiyuk

Would have loved some help on the DL but the opportunity didn't present itself

Few disappointments here like Damien Lewis going shortly before 129, and it was really tough to decide between zack moss, Alex highsmith, and Khalid Kareem, but this draft would be as close to ideal as I think this generator would allow

yep this would be an unreal infusion of talent - i know you like zack moss a lot so not going to quibble with that but definitely would prefer khalid kareem based on my board

but those first 4 picks would be a great start to the draft with players who stylistically fit what we want to do and who add high impact in roles where we need help

it's a pretty complementary draft with Robert Hunt at 60 making KJ Hamler a great pick at 55 and likewise KJ Hamler making AJ Epenesa a great pick at 28

it's not completely far-fetched - it's a bit stretching the bounds of the imagination but its not out of the realm of possibilities and it's a draft class id really really love

Here's a mock draft, interestingly Joe Burrow fell to the Dolphins at 5 lol.
