General Draft Thoughts

[rossihunter2]

It's not that long taking into account you'll be asleep for around 35 hours of it

i think you overestimate how much time i spend sleeping - at most im getting 24 hours sleep

 

[rossihunter2]

35? Ha! I'd consider myself lucky 24 over the next 4 nights

jinx

I must admit that mock drafts are lame. and they get more and more annoying when they are churned out a few days before the draft
mental illness. immature reporting.

Just relax, calm down and wait for the shit to transpire.

OTC had a good article analyzing Draft Trades & Current Trends of General Managers/Teams heading into the Draft on Thursday. Solid read.

[JO_75]

I do wonder if we will see some pre-draft trades in the coming days to counter any potential technical issues that might happen on Thursday Night.

The lack of Forum Mock is seriously hindering my draft knowledge this year.

Honestly this year no one knows.

I think AJ Epenesa is the most likely pick we make at 28 - there are 3 big threats I think to take him ahead of us: Vikings, Patriots and Seahawks

 

[Deebo813]

I wouldnt be surprised if we traded for a player during draft..

 

[rossihunter2]

I wouldnt be surprised if we traded for a player during draft..

who?
and they'd have to be cheap given the cap implications of something like that

also would be completely against our M.O.

 

[Edgar]

If we need a LB in round two, I'm guessing we go Jordyn Brooks

 

[Dom McRaven]

I think AJ Epenesa is the most likely pick we make at 28 - there are 3 big threats I think to take him ahead of us: Vikings, Patriots and Seahawks

And are you good with that pick?

 

[rossihunter2]

And are you good with that pick?

i think that would be a classic ravens pick - i'd really like what it would do for our defensive front

I just mocked him to us in my final mock

Ngakoue or Thuney are the only ones i can think of.

 

[rossihunter2]

Ngakoue or Thuney are the only ones i can think of.

and are both almost completely impossible unless we get rid of judon which is also distinctly unlikely

Not in first rnd but just sometime through out the draft.

 

[Deebo813]

Id be cool with us taking two olinemen and a wr with our first 3 picks.. i kinda wanna go iol more now because yanda is gone. He made everyones job easier, from the center to our Rts of the past. Who knows what life without him will be like.

 

[rossihunter2]

Not in first rnd but just sometime through out the draft.

but like who? - who are we going to value more than the picks we could make at that point?

 

[JO_75]

You know what day it is today, combined with a bunch of rumors of teams trading up or down....

SMOKESCREEN SEASON!

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I'm not seeing Epenesa here. Just think he goes against the whole getting faster thing we've been committing to in the last couple of years. Round 2 if he happened to fall? Sure. Round 1? I just don't believe it until it actually happens.

I do like the player for what it's worth. Just not sure I see the Ravens being overly interested in round 1.
