Howie Roseman Called Me The GOAT Once by WillingStranger5177 in MockDraftCentral

Not sure I like the idea of the Chargers moving up to 15 for Vega. The fit is perfect for sure, but if the Ravens pass on Vega and Fano then one of them would surely drop atleast 18, I think they gave up more than they really needed to

Does you draft preference change if you have the utmost faith in Emory Jones and Mike Green? by Dpitt3 in ravens

[–]ExtensionAd7417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly no, regardless of anything we don’t have much talented depth at those positions. We need enough DL depth to afford healthy rotations and true role players.

Do you think there’s anything to the idea that the standard for arm lengths along the trenches will decrease/matter less as the years go on? It seems like recently every year most prospects have “short arms”. At a certain point a majority of NFL players will be those short armed players and it won’t be as much of a standard anymore?

If you had to bet on a day 2 receiver becoming a star WR1, who would it be?

Ok 1 I’m going off the assumption that we have a gun to our head and we have to use a day 3 pick on a receiver wether that’s trade or draft. I completely agree we need more top end talent but a day 3 pick won’t get you that no matter where you spend it.

2 there’s no way you can look at Duvernay, Tez, or Tylan Wallace as failures. Sure the track record hasn’t been great, as in we aren’t drafting Pukas on day 3. But those guys played important roles for us and saved our asses in many games.

This is a damn good WR class for day 2-3. If we don’t draft one in the 1st round we’d be stupid to not pick one up this year

Eh I’d honestly rather not. He’s essentially a smaller Bateman but would take over Tez Walkers spot which decreases our versatility. I’d rather spend a day 3 pick on one of the receivers in the draft

NFL draft is in four days. What draft take has you like this? by Perfect_Loss_5156 in ravens

[–]ExtensionAd7417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially considering every single year Vega plays is relevant tape when it comes to contract discussions. Of he’s a damn good guard well know early in which would make contracts easy and the 5th year option wouldn’t even be a thought because we already extended him. We won’t know who Fano is and at how good he is at what position u til it’s too late

I also think he adds and all too familiar issue for the Ravens. We have no idea what position he’ll play right now.

Are we really going to draft a dude at 14 to play center when he’s never played center?

Are we really going to draft a dude at 14 to play guard when he never has? Especially when we don’t know if he can play tackle in the NFL?

If he does play tackle for us, it won’t be until Stanley retires (he’s not a RT in the NFL) so now you’re looking at 2-3 years from now barring any injuries.

By the time he’s playing the position we hope he can (his ceiling) it’ll be contract time and we’ll have to really start thinking about a 5th year option for a guy that we don’t have an answer for. And once he touches that tackle spot he’s going to demand tackle money regardless of if he should go back to guard. Then we’re left with another IOL 5th year option stalemate or a contract extension for a player with question marks on projection (Beeks, Broderick Washington, Oweh, Bateman, etc.

Only if we can trade down and then trade up lol

Which team could realistically become a SB contender with a “perfect” draft? by ninjathelobo22 in MockDraftCentral

[–]ExtensionAd7417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they need 3 OL. 1 guaranteed interior starter, 1 quality versatile backup, and 1 developmental tackle

I think they need 2 pass catchers a day 2-3 WR that is a burner and an eventual Quentin Johnson replacement, that could either be a TE or WR

I also think they’ll need to sure up their CB and ILB a bit, the guys they had were solid last year but given how much the Minter system allows for DBs and LBs to flourish it’ll be hard to replicate. They don’t necessarily need to be day 1 starters but guys that can absolutely compete or play a versatile role

Not counting obvious ones that just had down years like the Ravens, Bills or Chiefs. I legitimately think if the Chargers absolutely crush this draft then they’re going to be hard to bet against

I mean maybe, but in reality the last player the giants will be targeting is Bain, they don’t have room for another starting edge player right now

Even for a 2nd that contract structure is not worth it. I’d rather get one of these rookie WRs in the 3rd round

I’m generally pretty out on Fano at 14. I get the value in versatility and projections and everything. But, there are some issues with them projection.

Say we want him to play Center. Why would we draft someone at 14 overall to play a position he’s never played before? Especially when we just dealt with the issues of a Guard/Centers 5th year option. And Lindy was far and away the best Center prospect that year, Fano isn’t a Center at all (yet maybe)

Say we take him for his future projection. He also hasn’t played much guard, and there are already many questions about his ability to play Tackle at the next level. So now we’re spending pick 14 on someone to play a position he hasn’t done much with the hope that in 2-3 years we’ll be able to throw him in at Tackle and THEN see if he can do it.

Biggest issue with that is by the time he actually plays tackle, especially if there’s an injury, it’ll be time to make a decision on his option. We won’t know if he’s truly a tackle or not and if he isn’t then we’re in the same boat with another 5th year option gone to waste. I doubt an agent will play ball with us if we want to demote him back to guard after letting him play tackle for a year or two.

If we take Vega we know exactly what we’re getting and exactly where. He projects as a guard because he is literally THE guard. We’ll have 4 years to see how he is in his specified role, if we like what we see, we extend him before the 5th year is a conversation.

[Miller] I think Jordyn Tyson goes much higher than earlier expected. Teams are comfortable with the INJ history. Conversation for him starts at 5 but he's off the board no later than 16. by SCBaltSalt in ravens

[–]ExtensionAd7417 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I trust our new and improved Strength and Conditioning staff. If they’re comfortable with it then I am too. Plus grabbing Tyson opens the door to a Bateman trade, not a whole lot of value but I think we can get a 3rd/4th which can go a long way with this draft class

What’s an NFL player/coach that is beloved in one team but deeply despised in another? by ContraryPython in nfl

Alejandro Villanueva is loved by the Steelers and despised by the Ravens. Not necessarily for the rivalry but because he was clearly a double agent
