It's possible the Ravens are looking for starters at safety and corner (or at least starting level players). And some more talented youth would help this unit given how many second contracts we've already got on the backend (3 corners and 1 safety).
I’m a huge fan of Ahmad Gardner, daxton hill, Brandon Joseph, roger mccreary, Garrett Williams, Allie green iv, and Martin Emerson.
I think hill is gonna be a first rounderYeah, Daxton Hill and Martin Emerson are both standing out to me as hopefully 2/3rd round gems.
Jordan battle looks a lot like a deshon Elliott type of guy to me, I think he’s a rangy shallow/box safety, I’ve seen too many bad angles taken on routes in front of him for me to grade him as highly as the media seems to. Just doesn’t look very natural picking up routes in zone.almost nobody names jordan battle, yesterday he was very good, he looks smart, puncher .
in an interview he said “The main thing is to use your eyes and breaking on the ball when you can,” Battle said. “When you have a quarterback that can scramble you have to keep your eyes on the receivers before you come out of the top because they can look down the field when they are scrambling and make big plays.”
convinced me

lol, what does he do Tuesday?We need to grab Smoke Monday, no idea what he plays like but with a name like that we need him.

I said the same thing with Marcus peters and I’ve been real high on Gardner for a while, he’s a natural ballhawk with all the length and ball skills needed to not only undercut and jump routes and what not but he can straight up play like a receiver when it’s needed. Smooth af in all his transitions, way more than guys usually are at his heightIf we do go CB in the first, I would love getting Ahmad Gardner. Tall, long, fluid athlete that plays with tons of fire. Also, he's capable of actually catching the damn the ball. In fact, his skill set and style of play actually reminds me a lot of Marcus Peters.
I think he’s got a shitload of potential as winks dime/strong/robber type. He’s a really appealing safety but my concern is how much more could he offer than what we already have? He’s ten times the athlete Clark is but A. Is he a green dot guy? and B. Can he play back any better than Clark and Elliott? it could be a net gain in the front but for a first round pick I don’t want it to be a lateral move for back end coverage which is where we struggle the most, if I draft a first round safety on a win-now team I want some goddamn back end coverage, and I’m not saying he can’t do it either, I just don’t know.To my cfb guys or film junkies, what’s your thoughts on Dax Hill? The cut ups I’ve seen of him look legit but seems to mostly play from the slot. Although, if he can play deep with the same instincts he would definitely fit Winks defense as his flexibility would be a huge plus.
Unlike most years I’ve already began to shift to off-season mode a bit early as I just don’t see us making the playoffs with our depleted roster.

I think he qualifies for both, but what kind of playmaker? I think he’s a dime backer and can man up on TEs, I think he can play nickel in winks scheme extremely well especially as a blitzer and a screen/run support, and I think his shallow/intermediate zone game is gonna be really strong, but a safety is a safety, and if you can’t play as a traditional safety when needed then I’m really not feeling you as a first round pick.a 1st round safety has to be a playmaker and has to be able to play nickel

again that’s not to say he can’t, I just don’t know if he can.
