We traded the 7th we got for the 6th we used on Badie

So we got Oweh, Cleveland, Kolar and Badie in that Orlando Brown trade.

I remember when folks on here were going crazy on me for saying Shaun Wade would never make it. Turns out, he never even made the team.

many people hated that pick, just like you did. There was no depth in last years draft class and it was good we were able to flip him for two future picks (7th 2022 / 5th 2023). This turned out to be Badie and a future pick.

In the 2020 season he was playing injured and out of position at Ohio State. They were hoping moving him back to the slot would bring back the dog in him, but that's obviously not what happened.

I meant the one taken later proves more value. If he turned out to be Hurst quality that would be great too. Have a feeling one is going to turn out being a dog for us next to Andrews but think it's Likely.

I definitely think likely is the better player, thought so from college tape, kolar never really jumped off the tape, productive but looked slow and skinny and gangly, Likely was just one explosive play after another.

I liked Likely better as well and drafted him in the Forum Mock. Feel he has a lot of potential as a Hurst type of player, especially in this offense.

Likely will likely be Antonio Gates mini version, 1.5

 

[rossihunter2]

not what I was hoping to see but Oweh is worth it

have a feeling kolar is hurst all over again

oweh on his own might have been worth it for sure
no idea what cleveland and kolar will still offer us

you can also include tyler badie in the haul as well as a 5th rounder in 2023 to a certain extent

 

[rossihunter2]

So we got Oweh, Cleveland, Kolar and Badie in that Orlando Brown trade.

to clarify
we have currently got

Oweh
Cleveland
Kolar
Badie
and a future 5th round pick

for Orlando Brown Jr and Greg Mancz (who was somewhat involved in the shaun wade picks etc. which is why i included him)

dont think i remember anyone liking that pick the moment it was made

kolar looked slow and tested fast
likely looked fast and tested slow

There were plenty. I remember directly arguing with people that it was a wasted pick

I wonder what the moving commercial would have been like....

Him moving out and then at the very end, Watson comes up and introduces himself and says "pursuant to the laws of the State of Ohio and this court order I have to inform you that I am moving into the neighborhood"

I'll laugh if Progressive starts doing "At Home with Deshaun Watson." Baker meanwhile will be doing commercials for CPI security and Bojangles as a Panther.

I did, because in the 2020 draft a fifth round pick was a flyer and I want us to draft at least one cb every year. He wasn’t my choice of cb at all and the ravens rarely seem to draft corners I like, but there weren’t too many players at that point I really gave a shit about.

Ben mason though… that fucking pick… I don’t care how late we are in ANY draft, that was trash. If we picked him up as a UDFA I would’ve been mad. Fuck Ben mason.

Ya know you could predict that every fifth round pick of every draft wouldn’t pan out, and you’d be like 90% correct, it’s the fifth round.

Yes but there were members here thinking he was the next steal of the draft.

I think my favorite regular season play in Ravens history was the Will Hill kick six vs the Browns to win the game. That was just do crazy

For the last few years, I'd go with Elliot completely demolishing Henry

Ray Lewis tackling Darren sproles on 4th and 2

Josh Wilson OT pick six @houston

Owehs forced fumble vs KC

Flacco to Torrey 2011 @pit

Lamars 4th and 2 @seattle

Off the top of my head these are the plays that struck me the most. Kick six actually pissed me tf off at the time because we missed out on Ramsey and bosa with that lol. Like if we could pull the old forum boards you’d probably see me say at the moment it happened that we just lost bosa lol
