Just Remember, there are a ton of people who were luke warm to cold on guys like Marlon Humphrey and even Mosley on draft day. If Murray is the pick, are people going to root for him to be a bust just to be right? Probably. Honestly I Think the Ravens go a different route on draft day. Last year, Eric McCoy was mocked to the Ravens in almost every mock right before the draft. I feel like the last pick the “experts” got right was when Mayock mocked Lamar to us 2 years ago, albeit it was at 16 and not 32 lol.

ive always said since the beginning that i dont want murray to be the first pick but if he is im going to root hard for him as a raven (after an appropriate amount of time when i melt down for a bit - melt down length will partially be determined by what else we end up doing over the draft)

I liked the mosley pick. wasnt that high on humphrey but watched more tape and was okay with it. murray though is a different situation altogether. I watched more tape on him than any and I'm actually beyond dumbfounded how he isn't recgonized as a midround pick. I have a late 3rd early 4th round on him. With humphrey i had him as a 2nd round or late first at the most. Mosely i was happy enough with but i wanted donald over him

Good god I HATED the Mosley pick. I wanted HHCD at that pick, but look how it turned out. If Murray is the pick at 28, in EDC I truss, though I think he and Queen will be gone before we’re on the clock.

Id rather draft Murray than Epenesa. Just dont see any elite traits. At least Murray has elite closing speed but I just dont see anything from Epenesa that jumps out to me

The Humphrey meltdowns were fun. Count me in as one that was confused about selecting a CB at the time, but the talent was never in question for me.

Just went back to the 2019 Draft gameday thread and my word there's some gold there right around the time we were picking...

@JoeyFlex5 was spectacular but so were a number of others lol

for what it's worth i found a post with who my top 3 players left on the board were at 25: hollywood, greedy williams and cody ford - feels pretty good in terms of being on the same page as the front office last year - we drafted hollywood and then tried to make a monster trade to get back up to get cody ford lol - and then in my pound the table thread had jaylon ferguson, antoine wesley and justice hill lol

hopefully im as on it as last year with the ravens plans

man i was frustrated a lot at the time - was pissed that my initial number 2 guy in the class sidney jones had got injured, and my favourite day 2 guy was akhello witherspoon the whole way through that class - so i was mostly pissed off at the fact that we probably werent double-dipping on witherspoon

but i was also high on quincy wilson in that draft and i was hella wrong on that one

then again im a much better evaluator than i was in 2017 - three whole draft classes of improvement

I'm with you. I liked Wilson a lot too. I'm usually one of the 'grade the player, not the helmet' types, but those Florida DBs...

I’m fairly certain the quote you just shared was mostly sarcastic lol, I was annoyed because I had concerns about Hollywood but I don’t recall legitimately thinking Eric was incompetent after it lmao

Lmao I just went back and looked, first page. Yeah I’m always a fuckhead on draft night. I have anxiety like a mfer and all the anticipation waiting for our pick has me acting a ass in a major way lol

On the other board that didn’t survive I made my username comprehensuv, but it confused a lot of people lol

Maybe EDC trusts young OL, Boykin and thinks front 7 is OK after FA, then beefs up our positions of strength even more?
R1: DB
R2: TE
R2: RB

you think he could play tackle in a pinch?
Click to expand...
Eh, I wouldn’t trust it. I won’t say he can’t because he played tackle most recently and he showed great low hips and a great anchor, the feet looked quick but I’m weary of small school swing guards at the next level, like those quick feet at tackle could look mad slow in the nfl
