Ehhh. Maturity/character unless it's real crime doesn't take you to 32 if you're considered the best LT or at least very close to best LT

Ehhh. Maturity/character unless it's real crime doesn't take you to 32 if you're considered the best LT or at least very close to best LT
unless they just don't think he's got the work ethic or love of the game etc. to actually be a good NFL prospect
it's a case by case, but they obviously took nate last year with some maturity issues and that's been great so far

The Minnesota kid?
OL is a different story, but this DL class runs deep. I’m not worried about not being able to fill that hole.

That is a nasty as F secondary. I know we were juiced for that last year and blew up spectacularly for 8 weeks, but this one has sky high ceiling.

The Starks pick is a heavy signal they want to get back to 3 safety looks with Ar'darius, that makes Awuzie the dime back. Good role for him.
I think it will take starks atleast a year or two though..
for sure it's a very deep DL class
EDGE has been surprisingly left alone in R1 so i'm hoping a good one can make it to 59
but idk that there's going to be many OL left who have much of a chance of impacting this team in 2025

I don't want to see us make anywhere close to 11 picks. I hate the idea of 4 6th rounders and a 7th. But I know EDC will probably make like 9 or 10 and there won't be any serious movement up. I'm looking to be optimistic when it's all said and done, but I'm expecting to feel very lukewarm on this year's draft
I don’t think they want to use them all either, but those late picks aren’t valuable enough to constitute any significant move up. I know they hope to flip 1 or 2 into a pick next year but no guarantee anyone is going to want to bite on it.

CB:
Will Johnson, CB (big red flag on his medical)
Trey Amos, CB
Azareye'h Thomas
Shavon Revel Jr (coming off an injury)

Nick Emmanwori
Andrew Mukuba
Xavier Watts

Aireontae Ersery
Marcus Mbow

I don't disagree. But that just makes me think this is gonna be a really weak group from an overall weak class.
It's so ravens to say more darts means more bullseyes. Its true on paper but this team needs impact players at multiple spots to be in it for a SB. You're not getting that with those last 5 maybe even 8 picks.
it's only the top of the class that's weak
it's got a strong middle
as EDC just said in his presser, the talent flattens out in this class all the way through to the 4th round before it drops off again

Hope we go aggressive. Trade up for an edge in the 2nd.
1. Donovan E
2. Nic Scourton
3. J.T. Tuimoloau
In any other year I might agree, but this is a fairly deep class. Not a lot of top end talent, but a lot of NFL-level players. There are likely to be role players available way late in this draft, which has not been the case in the last few. We’re starting to get some of those seniors that have gotten NIL money to stay, medical exception, etc. finally come out.

Well maybe it's actually worth trying to get an extra 4th this year. Even if it means giving up 3 picks
The trade chart isn’t everything, but to illustrate how “worthless” those late picks are…
The Ravens could trade 4.27, all four 6ths, and the 7th. And that only gets them to 4.3
Trading all of the 6ths and the 7th outright is an equivalent value of 4.28
So possible but the chances of them giving up all of that capital is slim. I think they’ll be open to trading up at times but I doubt it’ll be anything significant

That's big yikes. It's 11 picks but it's really like 4 or maybe 5
we have the most picks in the draft but nowhere near the most draft capital in the draft
but also that's how you have to game the draft if you're always picking late - more picks = more chances to hit
