DB Thread

[Ravensnation5220]

This wasnt posted yet so i figured id put it up. Doesnt seem to be the best DB draft in terms of depth (so far) but there is plenty of talent at the top.

You all know the drill

Quin Blanding is a player i think could have a seemless transition to our style of defense. Although hed probably cost us a second round pick. Which we kinda need to spend on the offense.....lol

mincah fitzpatrick

id love him on this team but also it would mean we didnt take an offensive player in the 1st round which seems counterintuitive at this point

Levi Wallace is a revelation for Bama. I see him play and i wonder "ive never heard his name before" turns out hes a former walkon at Bama and is a senior. Only played his junior and now senior year. Hes starting and has 3 picks and 9 PDs who the hell is this kid!?!?!?!?!? Anyone????

Call me crazy, I think we will have a shot at Derwin.

Would you take him though? If we had a chance at him, I assume we are top 10. I don't think we have a use for him on this team. I mean no doubt he would be an incredible player, but after signing Jefferson he is just useless.

I'd honestly be pissed if we drafted a DB in the first 4 rounds, our offense is just so awful.

I won't give you my opinion on him until I further evaluate him. But from what I've seen he could be a transcendant talent and you don't want to miss that. We like to use 4 safeties set (Webb, Weddle, TJ, Levine), and it's not like TJ and Weddle are excelling (plus Weddle is getting old) so S is a need. I'll dig deeper to see how he helps us.

It's weird but Ronnie Harrison plays more like a S than Minkah and Derwin from what I've seen. He's actually the only one I've seen play deep.

tbh id want minkah as a corner anyway even if he can play safety...

Well if we were to draft him I'd rather get a true FS who can occasionally line up at CB than the opposite. Wouldn't really be useful.

To me Ronnie Harrison Garners top 15 consideration. He has an elite skill set combined with impressive measurables. I always thought of him as dime backer but that seems to be Fitz role.

Marcus Allen is your prototypical Box safety.

Man, watching James really gives you the vibes of Jabrill Peppers with more size. Clearly he's a guy that will not be drafted as high as he's hyped to be.

He really doesnt have the production youd hope for. He got all the hype from his freshamn year and all those big hits he made

Agreed, and I saw on SI this morning that scouts agree too.

Hes really talented i just dont think he got good coaching and development while at FSU

Iowa corner Josh Jackson has made himself 1st rounder today. For sure.

He already had 2 picks and 15 passes defensed before this game. Comepletely overlooked

 

[Ravensnation5220]

We may be already deep at corner but i wouldnt mind taking another after round 1.

The safety from Penn State, Marcus Allen, is someone I'd love seeing play in purple and black. He's such a great back-end enforcer.

Yeah, I don't remember seeing him mentioned often but he's making plays all year. These 3 picks today were awesome - on two he read a play beautifully. Then, there's that one-handed grab, totally freaking great.
