I like him for his ability to sell his route even more so than his athleticism. That being said, he’s pretty far down my list amd I left Cain and Washington off my list.

His hands just disgust me, he is a dropper plain and simple lol.
And I like Cain but damn for some reason I just can't see him in the same light as some others see him, I can't put my finger on it at all though
I’d love either one of those options. Absolutely love it

weird because Cain dropped 13 balls on 140 targets while DJ Chark only dropped 4 on 116 targets
I wouldn't even be opposed going wr 1 2 3 at this point. We literally are throwing to Chris moore perriman williams and boyle ay present.
That would be contender for worst in history

Sadly, I'll have to bite my tongue on Weah.. Been watching some more tapes under O'Neill and came out totally unimpressed due to the lack of separation and creativity when the play doesn't pan out the way it's designed.
Great run blocker and has some potential on contested catches (horrible QB play didn't help him either), but that's it.. I'd say 6th rounder now.
My top guys for the Ravens are still:
Tate (1st/2nd)
Deon Cain (2nd)
Ishmael (3rd)
Burnett (as a pure slot, 3rd/4th)

Love either of those!
The more the board is shaping up I am hoping we go WR in round 1, because at 52 I think if we can get Gesicki who should be in play around there then we have upgraded massively with those 2 picks

I don’t like Washington at all!! His game doesn’t translate to the nfl. He will be the newest bust if ravens get enamored with his college production and character/effort.

If our first two picks are Moore/Washington you won’t hear a peep from me. Washington does only one thing but he does that thing well. Torrey Smith, Kenny Stills, Mike Wallace, Travis Benjamin have all made successful careers out of being nothing more than deep ball players. He’d actually be an ideal fit here
Robbey Anderson, DeSean Jackson.
Not to mention he's a much much better catcher than all the aforementionned.

It’s unlikely Washington ever turns into a #1, but he fits here. I wouldn’t hate that at all if he was a compliment

Dude I get it. Its very easy to get enamored with him physical production. It’s very seductive!! Almost as seductive as when a WR has elite physical traits. But he isn’t Mike Kenny nor Torrey. And even if he was. There are much nicer(more complete) things available in round2. His style and traits are not gonna translate. Well never say never. But if I were to have to bet a very large sum of money. I would never bet on him translating to the nfl.

I don't disagree with their being potentially better options there.. But Washington isn't going to be bad if he ends up with a team that goes deep a lot..
Now if we're looking at a team that doesn't go deep you're looking at Devin Smith 2.0. But otherwise. I wouldn't be too mad if he ended up here.
Washington's game translate because it's based on overcoming average physical traits with intelligence, physicality and control of the opponent. Those traits translate. Not into Antonio Brown for sure, but production wise you could aim for Marvin Jones' tier.

I think you're looking at the wrong things. It's not about production, although his production is impressive. He's not a deep speed burner or a 50/50 jumpball guy, he is a highly intelligent and highly physical receiver who knows how to gain the upper hand consistently, he doesn't gain big separation but the way he gains it is what is impressive, his game is based on leverage and positioning, he dictates the play from the snap and doesn't get rerouted and is always in great position to attack because he works sides and angles on defenders to keep himself as the guy who can play the ball and not the defender.
You know who he plays like?.... and I hate myself for saying this because I hate how often ravens fans have said this about every big bodied wr... but boldin. The positioning and leverage aspect of his game is very impressive, he has a better use of these skills than maybe any wr prospect I've seen. He isn't fast or quick or 6'3" so he worked very hard to mold his game around his strengths and clearly understands the wr position on a cerebral level far more than most WRs prospects you will ever watch on film.

So, post-combine Ridley has dropped in projections and Moore skyrocketed. Most analysts still rate Ridley as WR1 in the draft, but it is close now.
Do you guys see Ridley as actually having hurt his stock enough to drop him into our range?
Did Moore improve his stock to where picking him at 16 isn't a reach?
If both are available, which one is the best bet?
How shocking would it be if both were available and we took another position and who could that possibly be?

I'll believe it when I see it. No WR selected in the first half seems unrealistic to me.
Moore improved his stock. At 16 it's still a reach, but an acceptable one. At the end of the day no one will complain if he produces like we expect him to.
If both are available, Ridley should be the pick. Lower ceiling, but higher floor, and more natural fit. Day one impact and we never look behind.
Extremely shocking, and that's an understatement.
I'm watching Kirk, if he's the pick in the second round for us this is a huge boost for our offense. He fits like a glove with his ability to separate quickly and to get extra yards. Can have a big impact on play actions slant patterns or out routes from the slots. His routes are so precise, it's surgery.
