Draft Predictions
- Thread starter Edgar
- Start date
I would love me some Josh Myers or a second round center to anchor us for the next 10 years.
Also, cornerback or tightened in the third round. Bet on it.

Ravens draft 4 Alabama defensive players and 3 Oklahoma offensive players

1. Only 2 offensive players drafted
2. 2nd-4th round WR
3. OL is the other offensive position drafted
2. 2nd-4th round WR
3. OL is the other offensive position drafted
I would feel very differently about this depending on which position it is lol
would be hyped about one of the 3rd round corners
would be despairing if we took a TE because I don’t really like any of them much this year
that would make a lot of sense - especially as I think it’s unlikely that a bonafide 1st round talent at WR will fall to us
I wouldn’t mind Marshall at the 1st pick as long as it wasn’t instead of Bateman or Elijah Moore - that would truly hurt me lol
but if those guys were gone and Marshall’s our first pick I wouldn’t have a problem with it - would feel to me a lot like how it would have felt taking tee Higgins last year

We won’t be taking Elijah Moore with our first pick lol
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the year we trade up a few spots to grab Bateman. Just a hunch.
That being said I'd prefer a tradeback

What slot corners should I watch or quick guys who can play inside?
From 2012-2017 I was a complete draft nut (probably average for these boards anyway lol) but invested in 7th rounders and udfas. The few years between I was always busy with life around that time (college applications, graduating, first year in college) and didn’t really even know half the first round picks. This year, I’m kinda obsessed again and it feels good. Link me some mid round players to check out I’d appreciate that!

kary vincent jr, i also think ardarius washington is more of a nickel corner/FS hybrid who would be perfect in baltimore, elite in zone concepts, elite range to disguise coverages, and is able to come up and man up in the slot when we blitz, is able to blitz from the slot himself, ive heard elijah molden is one of the better slot corners in this class but havent looked for myself
kary vincent jr is one of my favourites
asante samuel jr might be the best shorter corner in the class
tre brown i really like but he's never played inside despite that being where he's most likely to play in the NFL
aaron robinson has some good quick feet and shows some nice physicality in press - overcommits vs fakes but has some nice tools and athleticism
elijah molden is one of the more highly thought of slot guys - i think he's got some athletic limitations but he's very intelligent and has the look of a great underneath zone defender
there's some safeties who can play in the slot too this year (and even some linebackers)
any particular positions?
some mid/late round type guys i like: janarius robinson EDGE, rashad weaver EDGE, Damar Hamlin S, DJ Daniel CB, brenden jaimes OL, Kayode Awosika OL, Kendrick Green OL, Aaron Banks OL, Jonathan Adams Jr WR, Josh Imatorbhebhe WR, Shi Smith WR, Trey Sermon RB
tons more but there's a cross-section across a variety of positions
the 2 most commonly mocked guys to them I’ve seen are teven Jenkins and najee Harris but I’d be really surprised if it isn’t Jenkins if he makes it to 24
i mean that would be amazing - not sure what team would give up a 5th for him though... if we don't want him then what team is going to want him lol
i'd be fine with marshall as our 1st pick - he's my 27th guy on the baord lol - and he really does have rare physical traits (which i know we always covet pretty highly) - i know i've said this before but he does remind me enough of tee higgins that i could definitely see us interested in him in much the same way as higgins last year (who i also had later than we would have been taking him but only slightly)
with watkins here, marshall would be a good fit in the sense that he'd be allowed to moved all over the formation and play a lot of the slot where he thrived in 2020 for LSU especially while he develops his releases
