Allow me to correct what Rossi said. He didn't mean to say he disagrees, he meant to say to are factually and objectively on literally every point.

If we’re trading up that high I would legit be disappointed if it weren’t for a WR. I think we need to make that type of move for Ridley.

as long as this FO remains as it is, I never, ever want us to draft a WR in the 1st round. Just get a proven one in FA.
Quenton Nelson is a game changer in the run and pass game. He's that good and if we trade to the 11th i think he can be had as i see 2-3 QBs being taken in the first half of the first round.

I don’t blame you from not wanting to draft a WR, but the 2015 class of WRs has turned out to be a big bust as a whole. It wouldn’t be much different if we selected White, Parker or Dorset.
There has been times where we have liked guys like Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant and would have picked them had they been there.
I think the reason why we are in the position we are in is partly because of our lack of aggressiveness with the receiver position, so until we find a young talent we can keep around for years to come, then we’re not going to be able to neglect WR in the draft.

I love the O linesman in the draft. I want to build the O line and get a pass rush next year. Those are my two priorities.
Would be nice to find a Bart Scott like ILB bargain in the later rounds. Peanut is just not good enough and CJ is vastly overrated

Dude, stop. He is going into year 10. And isn't somebody that can afford to lose a couple steps. Need a WR whose best football is yet to come. We need to bring in a young established WR. Maybe trade for some talents that are behind established receivers on depth charts like Rashard Higgins, Demarcus Robinson, Malcolm Mitchell, Jeff Janis type bargains that can erupt. I always liked Rashard Higgins. And Demarcus Robinson has tons of potential. Identify up and coming receivers for a change as opposed to dumpster diving for over the hill vets and hope he has a couple good years of catching footballs left in him. Ravens need to begin doubling up on WRs and drafting them every year. As opposed to one late round receivers every 3 drafts. Then everybody says I think this one will do something.lol

If we pick Nelson at 16 then that’s a fine pick, just want someone special at a skill position in a trade up scenario.
We have so many ways to go it makes my heart sad when you look at all the problems... I love Chris Moore and Camp; the problem is everyone else. and pick up 1 in free agency and 1 in the draft (minimum). Hurst is gone so Og is problem. We need all new tight ends. (I like Watson but he is 37) we need actually interior rushers. Maybe outside rushers, Tim Williams and Tyus don’t get to play, maybe they suck. We need a new Ilb, I would love picking Roquan Smith.

Never have we needed to have as many picks in the draft as the browns do as we do this year.
If we had cap, we could do some interesting things but we don't..and it's mind boggling for a team to be a non playoff team for 5 years but still have the least cap in football.

wasted money on jefferson, brandln williams, flacco, maclin, webb and now maybe jimmy smith cause he cant stay healthy! Cj mosley, who is just barley an avg lb will get a big contract simply cause thats all we have and cant afford to lose him. We need talent at all skill positions.
I will get a ton of hate for this and hopefully it is due to injuries but I really think Mosley got exposed this tear. He has never been good at man coverage and he ducked.
I think he got covered up by Zach Orr Being great at coverage

FACTS!!! and to make things worse soon as we lost orr people starter dissing him and saying we dont need him
Nfc is stronger record-wise so there’s a few non-playoff teams in that side of the league with better records than us

I don't know if you saw it but Camp's leg fell off at the end of the game.
Hopefully he will be better by OTA's.
I agree I think we keep him at a bargain price and get huge dividends on the investment.

Dude is just injury prone. How do you find things 30 yards off of the field to trip on?
I loved Camp’s fire and abilities at Wake and hoped we would somehow pick him up. But now every time he touches the ball I feel like I’m watching a dog in the middle of a busy highway. Much like guys named Pitta and Smith I’m afraid he’ll never stay on the field long enough to reach his potential.

Yeah I agree. I don't know if will ever see his true potential, but he won't be in high demand, we will resign him pretty cheap with 1,000's of injury clauses, and when he is healthy and on, he is a quality player.
I wouldn’t want anyone over Crabtree if the available players, but Crabtree is currently 30 and at the right price he’d be good to have, not instead of someone like Allen Robinson or Lee.
Good news: this is the best ILB class I've ever seen. It's crazy crazy deep.
@Truth I'm sure you'll have fun with this one.
