2019 NFL Draft Gameday Thread
- Thread starter rossihunter2
- Start date
or the alternative - guys you loved even maybe as high as day 2 who for some reason keep slipping and eventually go undrafted and you never hear from them again and wonder what happened - that happens too
i just really worry at this point that no "guy" at wr is going to make it to our 3rd round picks and that we'll come away with literally no one we can realistically expect to have an early impact at that position - im starting to see lots of people speculate about where the wr run will happen but almost always it starts and ends between the ravens first 2 picks leaving not many potential options left even at our 2nd pick
id love the additions of those guys in the first 2 picks but worry about the opportunity cost of not grabbing a wr (and am especially worried that there may not be a worthy wr to pick once we get to the the 3rd round)

Cedrick Wilson, Derron Smith, that one corner from Oregon who was first round hype til he tore his acl senior year and dropped into day 3 who’s name I can’t remember...

So I've got my predictions.
If we stay in the first, one of he following will be a Raven
Devin Bush(please no, this would be so bad and would tell me Eric is incapable of thinking big-picture)
DK Metcalf
AJ Brown
Garrett Bradburry(which I'd be fine with. I still think McCoy and Jenkins are better fits, but he's still a monumental upgrade from Skura)
Brian Burns(he shouldn't, but someone is going to fall)
Jerry Tillery
Cody Ford
Chris Lindstrom

The ravens could have in mind a perfect fit in the fourth round or later. I still feel there isn't much difference rounds 3-5. If you go receiver in round one, maybe.

2019 - fuckin jaylon Ferguson
not a great list but not indicative per se - guys have been picked at 21 and 23 in the same period with much stronger pro pedigrees etc.
this is the 2nd time ive done this to you but...
alternatively the first round pick that would have be least surprised but most filled with trepidation would be Clelin Ferrell
i agree the difference between round 3 and round 5 isnt so big but honestly im more worried that the only guys left when we pick in round 3 are gonna be guys who arent worthy of that pick and that we end up (purely because that's how the board fell) with no receiver until round 4/round5 and you cant reasonably expect that guy to impact early (even if you might hope)
the issue im struggling with internally is that all the receivers who might make an impact early/are the most pro-ready look like they might all go in a run somewhere between 20 and 50 and unless we trade back we may well find ourselves having to start that run or miss out entirely

Yes. Thats a tough one to get excited about. I agree.

Trade back to number 26 and we have ourselves a future Hall of Famer.

or Perriman.

There won't be anybody on the board worth trading for at #22. Other teams won't call.
We'll pick.
We'll pick.
