Some big names in this DB class.

Travis Hunter (might also be a WR...)
Will Johnson
Shavon Revel Jr
Maxwell Hairston
Malaki Starks
Nick Emmanwori

Ravens not necessarily desperate for a CB, but I'm sure they'd grab a guy they liked if he was available, especially on the outside.
There might be more interest/need for someone to come in as another option to play free safety to allow Hamilton to be used more flexibly.
 
Xavier Watts has quickly become my draft crush. He has such a natural feel for where plays are going, and he regularly makes game changing plays. He's going to be a special player in the NFL.

Also having him on the back end lets other players be more aggressive in coverage, or for us to blitz more.

Is he a rangy safety? What's his projection? @JAAM , we might have a #SIIE :eyes::eyes:

He has pretty good range, and a very quick trigger, running to where the ball will be without hesitation or wasted movement. Also pretty versatile. I think he can go late 1st to mid 2nd depending on his combined and who is looking for a safety. Potentially a trade down target if we could get a good deal.
 
I love Xavier Watts but I think he’ll be gone by our second pick which is the earliest I would want to take a safety.
So it led me to look into other safeties and while I still like Watts more. I’m intrigued by Andrew Mukuba. Dude has a light frame but he’s rangy as hell, has ball production and will hit. Anyone else watch him yet? If he’s there in the 3rd, I’d be happy with the pick.

I like mukuba a lot, I think I might like him over watts. I might like Kevin Winston over watts too.

I like watts, but something looks kinda sluggish and/or stiff about him, it turns me off a bit

Who are some rangy safeties coming out this year? Feels like these are rare nowadays. Everyone pretty much a SS / Nickel type when I watch these highlights lol

Nick Emmanwori paired up with Washington would be a dream come true for me

Haven’t watched Winston yet. But I think Watt is going to be good. Who is your favorite deep safety in the class?

Depending on how the draft plays out I wouldn't mind a trading around to get into a spot for him. If Green is gone a possible trade down into the 2nd for more picks would be fine.

Nick Emmanwori is another deep safety I wouldn't mind going for early. He has crazy range, and can bring a real fire to the defense.

emmanwori is freaky
 


Amazing time for him. He’s one of my sleeper draft crush at 27

Kind of hoping Nick Emanwari blowing up the combine pushes Starks down to us. I think he’s would be a slam dunk and the type of pick we make historically.

The natural talent is apparent. I do wish he'd keep himself in the play a little more often. Far too many instances on the tape where he takes awful angles in coverage and against the run. But you can see him read it so there's clearly something to work with there.

When i first watched him, i thought the mf was just kind of scared to tackle or a bit hesitate like he dnt wanna get injured or something..We need some playmakers though so i think he is worth the risk.. i do think he got better a shot at being a bust than nick but i still like starks better
