Hall of Famer
Gonna do a first round mock then all ravens with a few key FA moves

FA losses/cuts:
ZDS
Weddle
John Brown

FA signings:
Lamarcus Joyner, S, rams
Mitch Morse, C, Chiefs

Trades:
Joe flacco to jags for 3rd and 4th

Comps: 3rd for Jensen

Mock Draft; im doing one trade because I could absolutely see it happening

1. Cardinals- Nick Bosa, DE, OSU
2. 49ers trade back to NYG @6
Giants- Dwayne Haskins, QB, OSU
3. Jets- Quinnen Williams, DT, Bama
4. Raiders- josh Allen, OLB, Kentucky
5. Bucs- Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson
6. 49ers- Brian Burns, edge, FSU
(Not a big fan but I think he’s gonna end up going high and I think John Lynch is done messing with tweeners and massive 5techs, he goes and gets a burner off the edge to add some speed to that slow ass rush)
7. Jags- Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
(Clear bpa and jags can’t resist another defender)
8. Devin White, LB, LSU
9. Bills- DK Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
10. Broncos - Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma
11. Bengals- Jonah Williams, OT, Bama
12. Packers- Jachai Polite, edge, Florida
13. Dolphins- kelvin harmon, WR, NC state
(They only want Kyler Murray for qb, when they miss out they collectively decide to tank for tua)
14. Falcons- greedy Williams, CB, LSU
15. Redskins- drew lock, QB, Mizzou
16. Panthers- Cody ford, OL, Oklahoma
17. Browns- Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
18. Vikings- jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
19. Titans- N’keal Harry, WR, ASU
20. Steelers- Nasir Adderley, FS, Delaware
(I should change this just because the Steelers are incapable of making s good secondary pick like this)
21. Seahawks- Greg Little, OT, ole miss
22. Ravens-
deebo-samuel.png

Isn’t much I have to say abou Deebo Samuel other than a lack of elite measurables and an injury history make him fall, which I think is realistic and even likely. Pro comp. Dj Moore, better qb play expanded his playbook allowing him to showcase elite route skills better than Moore

23. Texans- Dalton Risner, OL, KSU
24. Raiders- Hakeem butler, WR, Iowa st
25. Eagles- Rahsaan Gary, DL, Michigan
26. Colts- Montez Sweat, edge, Miss St
27. Raiders- josh Jacobs, rb, Bama
28. Chargers- yodney cajuste, OT, WV
29. Chiefs- Deandre baker, CB, GA
30. Packers- Mack Wilson, LB, bama
31. Rams- Deionte Thompson, FS, bama
32. Patriots- Noah Fant, TE, Iowa

Round 3 jags pick:
beau1.jpg

Beau Benzschawel, G, Wisconsin
Built like a power tackle, plays like a power guard, stiff hips, heavy feet, but concrete anchor in pass pro with long reach to seal off gaps and power in that reach to stagger quick rushers with ease. Point of attack mauler who likes to bully defenders with punches and just nasty play. If there was one OL in this class I’d choose to NOT to line up against, it’s this mean son of a bitch.

Round3:
CtsNE90XYAAXnW6.jpg

Nate Davis, G, Charlotte
One of the most powerful and violent drive blockers in this class. Horrible outside pass protector but his issues there become a near non factor at G. He is 6’3” with a lot of beef packed into that frame and plays like it, when he arrives on mobile blocks he absolutely crushes his targets, pops out of his stance low and coiled and delivers that first strike with extreme power and consistently pushes. Feet need work, the foot speed is adequate if he’s playing inside, but the issue is discipline, he gets a little Trippy against quick rushers and stunts, but otherwise he is a pretty ideal prospect for this system.

Round 3 comp:
fau-rb.jpg

Devin Singletary, RB, FAU
extremely elusive, explosive slasher and instant accelerator, a bit of a Mighty Mouse, being 5’9” and wiki’d at 200 but looking like he’s more mid 190s, regardless still brings a good bit of pop on contact by lowering and exploding the shoulders forward. Great cutbacks and jump cuts, and is a guy that can use that to make big plays out of nothing, he is just a really explosive and crafty juke artist with a low center of gravity, really high ceiling guy and the slipperiness of lamar and the explosive elusiveness of singletary could drive defenses crazy.

Round 4 jags:
Granderson_Carl_UW_at_IA_09_02_2017_TB_03.JPG

Carl Granderson, edge, Wyoming
Long and strong, no homo. He’s a violent and handsy edge rusher with length, average burst, weak flexibility, but great inside counters, good arm swats and rips around the edge, and crashes and stunts well, he could be an ideal replacement for ZDS in time

Round 4:
DUUB4C2XUAAr4mB.jpg

David Long, CB, Michigan
Stout, smart, and feisty corner with average top speed and sitting at only 5’10”. He sits well at the LOS with patient feet and dictates leverage with good positioning. When playing off-man he catches the route very well, and anticipates quick breaking routes in front of him. Plays the qb well in zone and has a firm understanding of dropping and picking guys up in his assignments. Tracks and plays the ball incredibly well. Can get bodied by big receivers on the boundary, and can get beat over the top by high caliber burners, but from the 1-20 range when facing the typical receiver he has potential to be a ball hawk with smarts and ball skills, and a shutdown corner with his leverage and positioning. Reminds me a good bit of prime Webb.

Round 5:
usa_today_10502431.0.jpg

Bryce Love, RB, Stanford
Yeah I think he’s gonna fall this far, he was looking like a day 3 pick already, but the acl drops him even lower, and falling 3 rounds further than anyone anticipated at the start of the season makes the ravens pounce. I know, 2 RBs is too much, I know we have Dixon and gus bus, but Dixon is hurt and let’s be real, gus is limited as hell and a beneficiary of the system with no home run ability. Singletary is our future workhorse but Bryce love is a home run hitter who can turn any crease into a TD. They didn’t use him as a catcher at Stanford and that’s worrying, but if he can be coached into that role then he is an incredible value at 5 as a quality speed back with good patience and vision.

Round 6:
David Sills, WR, WV
usa_today_10352515.0.jpg

here’s a flyer, I don’t think David sills is gonna go any earlier than this, matter of fact cedrick Wilson is a deep ball specialist in the same mold and we swore he was going in the third or fourth, so I think he’s available at this point. He’s the lankiest player out there but he knows how to get open deep, and he can catch the ball when it’s in his wide reach. He needs coaching on an nfl route tree for sure, but hopefully our newest coaching hire can handle that and his understanding of beating leverage in the first 5 yards of the route is encouraging in that regard. Not a contested ball type of catcher but does track and attack the ball well when it’s a difficult catch. Worthwhile flyer on a guy who at least knows what he’s doing and standing at 6’4” with some decent speed and hops.

General breakdown:


ive recently come up with a theory, draft an OL, a DB, and a front four defender every year, try to hit these things every single year, because one ol or secondary injury or FA loss can fuck your whole season, and secondary/front four require a heavy rotation in this day and age, and taking swings on these positions every year(smart swings) gives you a chance to build dominant groups at maybe the 3 most important position groups in football. Our OL needs massive improvement, Morse in FA fixes C, either benzschawel or Davis could start day one at LG, and then we have excellent depth and even better when yanda retires we have a starter for him as well. With these 3 additions we go from 2 massive liabilities to the OL being a monstrous run blocking unit and incredibly sound in pass pro with the most genius OL innovator I’ve ever seen coaching them.

More on my theory: Granderson and long are quality additions, Granderson by no means fixes our pass rush woes, but he gives us a strong rotational piece and a guy who honestly has a really high ceiling, and long is a guy who would allow us to move on from jimmy and Carr next year when averett develops.

Samuel gives us a future elite receiver who can crank out production at every level of the field, this isn’t up for debate. If he’s injured, that sucks, if he’s not, he transforms our team. Sills is a flyer pick who has exciting tools who needs to prove he can physically handle this league and develop his route tree

Singletary I’m convinced is a workhorse and more dangerous than anyone on this team by far. Bryce love still has a place in this league and we’re working with a really dynamic tandem in a lamar-Roman offense with these guys, if Bryce love develops a receiving game in this offense, fucking watch out lol.

I agree that trade could happen but would rather Ravens trade back if a WR is BPA especially if he has an injury history because even if he doesn't yet he will soon.

Deebo Samuel just doesn’t bring enough risk for me to pass. We still need a WR, and injuries or not Deebo Samuel could be and likely will be a really high end wr in the nfl and his contributions should start immediately. I’m just not buying into that perspective because he’s just too good. That kinda “but this prospect is...” attitude about elite looking prospects is how we’ve missed out on great players and taken nobodies right in front of them for years. Doing what you suggest, would end like another 2015 where we passed on the obvious choice of Michael Thomas for a minor trade back and kamalei fucking Correa. Sometimes, just don’t do it...

If Samuel isn’t there, in this case I’m going Montez sweat, Lindstrom as plan C, and trade back being plan D unless by some miracle we get offered something like a 2020 2nd

Thanks for the future prediction. It's not like there's countless players in college that have injury histories that prove to be nothing in the pros, and not like there's countless other cases where players are iron men in college but don't have injury concerns. One freak injury his junior year and a series of minor scuffles his freshman year are not warranting of a concern. Can I have tomorrow's lottery numbers too please?

@JoeyFlex5 Samuel's tape suggests a first round talent but if he has a mediocre combine I could see him fall to the second. Teams are still enamored with that shit for some reason.

I'll be posting my mock later this week. Don't worry @DeVito52. It will have pictures.

He doesn’t strike me as a combine killer either, not based on the tape at least

Mock is finally finished and up. Every time I got started some shit got in the way and I had to stop, then the draft would get wiped clean lol.

Nate Davis had a great senior bowl and DJ said something really interesting about him - he’s already so powerful but he’s way too low in his stance on a consistent basis - it’s an easily fixable issue that could make an enormous difference to his mobility and power at the snap

He’s so low it’s probably difficult for him to kickstep effectively - some fine tuning and he could be a real gem for whoever drafts him

He’s almost ass on the ground in his stance lol, I think it’s because he’s so big and thick but doesn’t have the longest arms, a normal stance probably feels really labored to him. But man he’s a powerful ass dude, he’s in a league of his own as far as raw blocking power goes, guys looks helpless and just start backpedaling with him like they’re trying not to fall. And when he lands on pulls, holy hell he HITS.

I think Bryce Love was hilariously overrated last season but round five seems right for him. He really strikes me as a super limited back, but in this scheme as a guy who can spell Singeltary and/or Dixon, he's a weapon who opens up the offense a lot more.

Singletary could go anywhere from 2nd-4th round. It really depends on his combine(For some reason the 40 time is an end all be all. I have a second round grade on him personally, but while he plays faster than this he really strikes me as a guy who is going to run a 4.5-4.6 speed. This plus his height, lack of overall competition, and the fact that he really doesn't have much of a workload as a receiver for me might drop him even if he doesn't deserve it.

I love how you trash ZDS as your comparison for Granderson.

that being said, I think it's more accurate on a round by round scenario.
Um... No. We see players fall all the time for utter BS reasons. I know you're referring to Singletary and Beau not falling but if they have bad combines they're very likely to do so. I could see the same for Deebo. He plays faster than a 4.5 but if he posts that or a 4.6, when you combine it with his recent injury and lack of amazing production, and a few mind-bogglingly stupid drops, I could genuinely see him fall too.

We don't know. Love at the beggining of the year would've been projected as the first back off of the board. You can't make statements like that.

He had to get one last dig at the poor man's poor man

Yeah man, I like what he did this year and I changed my tune a lot, but he is what he is, a pusher, gap slasher, stunt specialist, and that’s a lot of what I see in Granderson.

Granderson btw is a guy who’s train I’ve been on since I first saw him in week 1 2017 when I was trying to follow josh Allen and ended up disgusted with him and following Granderson instead lol
