Anyone have any information on WVU WR Marcus Simms, who is in the supplemental draft

The only way I can see ravens spending a draft pick for him is if he’s a standout returner as well as WR. But it doesn’t seem like he did it in college. Carrying 3 rookie WRs in the active roster is tough
Yea we have enough wr

we definitely do not
I didn't say the Ravens should do it, I was just asking if anyone had any information on him.

Nah if we were going WVU WR it would have been Jennings. Who I actually would have preferred getting later than Hollywood 1st. I said years ago I'd never take a 180lbs 5'10 receiver 1st . Just isnt worth the pick. Closest thing to him being successful is comparing him to Cook. Ah well fingers crossed that he breaks records here.
It's funny watching guys slide like Jennings and Harmon..like these million dollar decisions rely on the combine still. Video dont lie but the guy in body tights and running shoes with super sticky gloves well rested means everything. Harmon will have a good career is what I'm saying. Hollywood idk.

Lol every link contains ronnie stanley is one of the nfls best kept secrets.
How did you do that?
Jackson has over achieved I'll give him that. He had some solid years and if Brown could give us just 1 of those he'd snap the wr curse. Hill on the other hand wasnt a FIRST round pick. Cook was and so far has had 2 of the most accurate QB's throwing to him. Also those 3 lil dudes are all bigger than Brown. I mean I love an underdog story just as much as the next but this our team and we've missed 2 super bowl trophies. Cant be making these high cost low reward moves.
Wasnt here and what does that even matter?? Try again Sherlock

So people are misunderstanding what I mean, I figured I’d continue it here.
That’s a draft grade. A projection. If pro scouts who get paid to do this get it wrong, then what the hell do you expect out of a 21 year old who’s never played a down of football before? Whether they make the all decades team or not is irrelevant to what I deem a player that’s “generational”. Plenty of players who are in the hall of fame that weren’t top 5 picks. Or even first round picks. Or even drafted. Shows what all 32 teams know, and if they don’t get it right most of the time, then what is a fan supposed to do. I may be smart, but I’m not god.
Odell was a prospect I really liked but I didn’t watch him and go “gee, this guy could change the league”. I thought he could be a very good WR. He produced and developed way quicker than I think even his biggest supporters thought he would. But I still wouldn’t call him that. For all of his athletic talent he’s also had a tendency to disappear at times as well as be a problem.
I didn’t have Brown and Hopkins as that either. But they had questions coming out of school. This is where coaching came in. Antonio Brown was a sixth round pick. HE didn’t do too much his first couple of years as a receiver and a lot of his game came from a team that develops WRs better than anyone else. Same goes for Hopkins, who FWIW I really liked coming out of school. Didn’t envision him becoming the best WR in football. I don’t think anyone did, and if you claim so I call BS right now.
AJ and Julio set a precedent at the WR position. Green came in and dominated as a rookie, and for all intents has fooled most NFL fans into thinking that Dalton is a franchise QB for the better part of a decade. Green is overlooked because... Well he plays for the Bengals, who cares about them?

The 2020 draft is loaded with WR talent. I would've prefered to draft Harmon instead of McSorley (wasted pick). But Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith, CeeDee, Shenault, Reagor....
Brown has a great work ethic and is currently working out at the uapc. He is not only relying on his talents as so many others do. Don't forget that for the first time since like forever we have a 1a WR coach who knows what traits to look for in a top WR.
