    Rossi's Big Board and Positional Rankings

    So basically, this is a list that you complied as if you were the Ravens GM putting together our draft board? That is a distinct difference from putting together a generic "big board" where players who are not necessarily a fit for us, but could be for other teams, will not rank as highly. It...

    General Draft Thoughts

    I'm cringing now every time I hear anyone being associated with Ruiz. I've been thinking more about it and he's my guy. I don't put in a fraction of the research you guys do, but I've read enough and seen enough that I'm seriously enamored with him. We talk about wanting to get Lamar more...

    General Draft Thoughts

    The other guy that I'll be rooting hard to not hear called before us is Espenza. Out of all positions in this draft that have limited depth and a position I feel we need filled for the future is edge. To get either a career edge or interior o-line guy in this draft would be a dream...

    General Draft Thoughts

    No I had not seen that. He's definitely someone I'll be hoping I don't hear called before we're on the clock since I just want us to have the option of taking him. Seems like the kind of guy we'd love to have on the type of offense we run. Probably are able to get a detail report from Harbaugh...

    General Draft Thoughts

    Reading the eval on "The Draft Network" here is what they say about Ruiz: "Ruiz projects as an early impact starter in the NFL with the upside to become the pillar of an NFL offensive line for years to come." If that's true, that sounds like a guy we'd love to have.

    General Draft Thoughts

    Ruiz is definitely someone who we may be interested in, so I hope he's still there when we're on the clock, just so we have the option if we are so inclined. On the o-line topic ... Eric said he sees some guys that played OT in college that would transition well to OG. I'm wondering if the...

    2020 WR Draft Thread

    Right that's why I stated Edwards attraction to us would be that combination of big bodied and tough. I think we've shown having that "Play like a Raven" attitude is critical in where we place a player on our board.

    2020 WR Draft Thread

    Reading this analysis, it would seem like Edwards is our best logical pick. He's sounds like the big bodied and tough guy that our team would rate highly. He's be effective in the run game and could get the contested catches. He's not been 1st rounder in of any of the mock drafts I've seen...

    General Draft Thoughts

    I've seen a mock where we trade up for Chaisson. That's an interesting thought. If there is a position we'd love to fill for both immediate impact and for future use, it is an EDGE guy. From what I've heard, this is a draft with depth, but only at certain positions. After you get past the first...

    General Draft Thoughts

    I think what is being said here is that if you are going to value an ILB as a 1st round talent, he damn well better be a stud ... a 3 down guy who can shed blocks, cover and be a leader on D. Is there such a guy in this draft? Maybe that's Queen but we may not view him as that either. Given...

    General Draft Thoughts

    Analysts doing mocks have a hard time nailing us down. Jimmy Smith was universally mocked to us but that was a long time ago. Mosley maybe ... Stanley no, but they did get the position right, but most had us taking Tunsil. Who knows, that may have been correct if not for the gas mask bong reveal...

    Conference Championship Round Discussion (Other Teams)

    Yeah - it is really hard to bring myself to watch this. When the Ravens are not considered contenders, this is a fun weekend. Given the circumstances, it is sickening. AFC: Maybe like to see Reid get the monkey off his back cause I always hate the narrative of quality coaches or players who...

    That’s a rule I didn’t know I though if the ball was over the line then it was past the line

    the ball and his entire body except for his big toe on his left foot is over the line. That’s not over the line?

    I told myself I was going to take the day off. Then my son texts me to tell me how KC is imploding so I tune in just to see the start of what will be an historic come back that media will be sucking Patty’s dick over?

    Divisional Round Discussion (Other Teams)

    If they stage a comeback it would have been better for them to just blow them out. I don’t need to hear about a magical Mahomes come from behind.
