to a certain extent for sure - ive not seen us devalue 6th rounders - but EDC shares the same view that i have about the 7th round... get rid of those picks and start recruiting those udfas

but it also works the other way especially when the classes are deeper than last year's (which almost every single one is) - that there's value to trading down in day 3 and acquiring 5th round picks because the difference between the mid-4th and mid-5th in most drafts in terms of quality of prospect is not that big and at that point, most teams's boards are so divergent from one another that you might be able to draft the exact same player a round later

the ravens are also consistently good at not really throwing around tons of bonus money at 1 or 2 udfas (basically putting all your eggs in one basket) - last year was the first time really and that was because, again, it was an historically shallow draft which thinned out the udfa pool also

sometimes the big-named udfa is the guy who makes it (like ardarius washington last year and TCC they specifically targeted) but guys like pat ricard, pat mekari, michael pierce etc. were often not the guys who were expected to challenge for roster spots when we signed them

in terms of the depth in this draft - i know we already have a load of picks in day 3 and especially in round 4 but i would not be opposed (value-wise) to us trading out of the 100th pick and moving out of round 3 and acquiring even more picks that way... looks to me like the drop-off into a larger jumble of talent seems to happen somewhere between the ravens 2 3rd round picks based on what ive seen so far

Completely forgot Pierce was a udfa. Thats crazy.
 
So... the fact the Ravens have their Schedule Challenge Game up for us to play, that means the schedule is coming soon? This offseason has been crazy and it has made me eager to find out the schedule and when we are playing certain teams and when other games are taking place. I know it has been in May the past couple years but damn I want to know now lol.

typically comes out this month prior to the draft
 
I went with the Dolphins for the home opener and the Jets for the road opener. Likely an 0/2 on my part lol. Also went with three primetime games.
 
I'll give Ryan a break since Marlon got hurt last season

I mean, wasn't Marlon having a rough year anyway? I felt like it wasn't his normal high quality year. Maybe I'm wrong though, could be.

He was still good but definitely not what we saw the previous two years. I don't disagree with him not being there based on the seasons those other guys had.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. He was good but not playing to his potential that we have seen from him.

he had a rough game against chase and didnt create the same number of turnovers or big plays that he had in previous years
still an upper echelon corner but probably not his best season while aj terrell had a phenomenal one (which ryan clearly noticed... and tells you he definitely has put some time into the tape... probably because he cares about the position so much lol)

i am surprised he's put trevon diggs there though

Obviously Marlons has had a rough year but this ranking shows that there are more high quality corners in the league - if we exclude Diggs.
