You're right. It isn't going to get any better in coming years either, I'm afraid. College game killed the O line.

I think he goes in the 3rd before we pick

I just hope we don't spend 2nd on him. Or any other pick, for that matter.
So Lance Zierlien on twitter says Wynn isnt going in the 1st - that seems crazy to me but if we can be the benefactors in the 2nd then ill be over the moon
that being said i think he's a top 16 player and would be fairly happy with him at 16 lol

It would certainly be good to trade back and get Wynn late in the first round.

It's always possible for guards to slide way further than they should. I can just imagine in a perfect world we trade back to grab Price to be our center for the next five years, and then up in the 2nd for Wynn to be our LG for the next four years. The middle of our line would utterly destroy defenses.
but it seems to be wynn specifically rather than guards in general but who knows
I agree with this. Prior to the forum mock, I thought the guard class was really good, but it’s only about four of them. Tackles are even worse. Anyway I learned fast that it’s a really thin class. Not saying they can’t develop, but when you need players right away, it’s not good.
And there has been chatter of Ragnow going in the first. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
well if teams are stupid enough to let wynn fall to us (if only lol) then who are we not to oblige them?
Didn't we say that about Lamp last year?
i personally like wynn a lot more than lamp
on the other side to zierlein - eric galko thinks 8 OL are going in the first round (that seems bold to me):
"Currently, I’ve got 8 offensive linemen I expect to be first-round picks: 4 OTs, 3 OGs, 1 OC. We had 9 go in round one in 2013. This year could tie/top that. Ten in the first wouldn’t surprise me."
when asked for the 8:
"Still fluid to be honest. The three OGs, Daniels, McGlinchey, and everyone’s favorite Kolton are locks. After that, think two of Williams, O’Neill, Crosby, Price, Ragnow. Maybe more than 2."
it's an interesting counterpoint to the alternative view and i imagine best guess is that we end up somewhere in the middle...
i think the nelson, hernandez , mcglinchey and daniels are locks and maybe wynn isnt a lock but he should be... beyond that i think connor williams probably will go
so id say at least 6 OL are going in round 1 but both ways arent that far-fetched - and in both scenarios the ravens benefit in some way or other - either lots of OL are being reached on and better talent at other positions falls or no OL are going early and the ravens might be able to snag a good one in round 2...

agree and he is much more versatile of a player and I liked Lamp.
I don't know why but all of a sudden I really want Will Hernandez...
he's a phenomenal prospect
