I certainly hope so. I know I am the boards number 1 Bateman hater but I think at this point I finally have some company in that camp.

I mean the first 2 picks were 2 places they needed starters at and then next ones have been for areas where the Ravens needed depth. I dont know how they will pan out but if you listed the needs before the draft then this checks them.

So basically they drafted a fresh Kolar and Likely to develop into the roles by year 2.

Well if he can make plays against Pitt then he is already in my good books.

If there was a single player available who could fill those holes on day 1 they would have been drafted by now. There is not a day 1 starter available because those are taken in rounds 1 and 2.

I mean that's mostly because the picks the Ravens made left. You cant expect to fill holes with day 3 picks. You try to find prospects who can hopefully provide solid depth and if you are lucky they can compete for a starting job in 2-3 years.

Day 3 is about finding whatever prospects you think you can make into a real NFL player and if they are good that is a bonus.

I mean everyone kept saying the Ravens need depth and I guess using 11 picks is how you get depth.

The funniest part to me was the GM having the reaction "its just words on a piece of paper". Those words are basically the contract that guides the team so its a little more than just words. Edit: also its not that uncommon as others have noted. When you are a consensus top 5 coach you can...

I think 40 times are overrated already but I genuinely cannot imagine caring even a little about the 40 time of my TE.

That is a very Jets pick.

Bucs are probably thrilled that one of the elite prospects with all pro potential somehow fell to them.

I love the player but man I wish it were Bain instead. I think both have elite potential but an elite pass rusher is more valuable than an elite G.

If it is not Bain here I am actually going to be upset. Sadiq can suck it and Vega is great but not as high impact of a position.

ESPN clearly has not modified their program to account for 8 minute picks which makes me wonder why make the change in the first place

Okay so now there are 2 players I like a lot (and one I really dont) so they could nail this either way but man I really want Bain.

Including new ownership

Maybe they want offense and they just know the Cowboys want defense or maybe the Cowboys don't care about giving it away as its only one pick ahead of them so its not exactly like they are giving away anything valuable.

Miami needs everything though I am surprised they would make that trade as all it gets you is some low 4ths (and again in line for the value chart).

They also do not have a real pass rush... or LBs or any defenders of note. They really are the Bengals of the NFC.
