Rob Quinn. His bend is awesome for a big 6’4 265lb edge rusher. Watch his college tape. A Demarcus Ware Clone. Could be a gameplan destroyer on ravens schemes

My bad. Yep greg. Not even sure if he plays tackle anymore

Lol, I don't think he ever did actually.
In the last two years my top choice in the 1st...my guy each time was Jalen Ramsey and Derek Barnett
Both were guys that were in our draft range and I was gutted both times! With the Ramsey one, knowing what Dallas wanted for the trade I just couldn't believe we didn't do it! Generational talent and he was right there.
And with Barnett, I didn't actually think he would fall to 16, but as the draft went on it was like pick 12 or 13 and I was thinking...its happening!
For the record, Love Stanley and Humphrey as players
Also recently, couldn't believe we had Myles Jack fall into our laps with our 2nd pick, and trade back. No hindsight needed on that one it was a bad call regardless of injuries he was worth that pick

he doesnt really play any spot anymore - teams look at him as the number 2 pick and think there's something salvageable there but under the radar he's an enormous bust
the rams moved him to guard and then to right tackle and then traded him for a 6th round pick to the lions who tried him as a replacement for injury and then they waived him injured midseason...

I wanted to throw my remote through the tv when we traded back.

I was pissed when they traded the second time, I just KNEW they were after spence, who I was pretty big on(not pound the table big, but thought he filled a need in a good way), and then they fucking traded back again and my jaw just dropped. I wanted Michael Thomas or spence there, but I thought we wouldn't touch Thomas because he's just not the kinda wr the ravens draft high. I just still can't believe we took correa. Contrary to @Sledge Hammer 's beliefs I really didn't like the pick and it pissed me off quite a bit.

I hated the pick and the second trade back almost made me as mad as the first one.
it's very rare for me to have this impression but my honest first reaction when i saw that kamalei correa was the pick was "who?"

I had watched him, I loved his first step, speed, and motor. He really played with some fire and he had the best first step of his class believe it or not. He even did well flexed out to the slot in man coverage. But he had zero disengage, weak anticipation and reaction time, and was basically a fast hustle player and I liked his potential but didn't like him for us and definitely not anywhere near where we were picking.

Timmy Williams' first step was better.

Different class. But yeah, twill does everything better. He made more impact getting barely any snaps and in the wrong role than correa has had in 2 years

Would love Timmy Williams and Rob Quinn as our rush linebackers this year. Then draft Roquan Smith at 16. Would be the most explosive set of linebackers the league has seen in a while. With C.J. Slowsley as the weak link but solid overall. With Tim n Rob closing in and Roquan up the middle next season. enjoy your ring this year Brady.

No doubt Gronk was the steal of any draft. We screwed up by acquiring Redman for QB imo.
