bmorecareful - great stuff. I think if I were to re-do mine, I may have them looking at LB a bit different with the whole Rolando McClain debacle going on.
I kind of agree about Harper though. I'm not entirely sold on him and I think there may be better options at WR in the 4th round, but we shall see. The Ravens really need to draft at least 1 receiver and Harper's straight-line speed at 233lbs is pretty impressive. It is also difficult to gauge Harper coming out of K-State's offense because Collin Klein was putrid as a passing QB. That guy probably won't even be drafted.
I love the Kyle Juzscyk pick. I had him going a lot earlier (4th round to Arizona).

He's not my favorite receiver in the class, not by a long shot, but it seems like the Ravens are very interested as are the Packers, and I trust those teams' scouting departments. I didn't like him a lot when I first watched him but he does show flashes on tape.
By measurables I can see the Marcus Smith comparison, but I do think Harper has more upside. He came to KSU as a QB, so he is still learning the WR position, but he already has hands and athleticism that Smith never had.

I just hope they draft a "receiver" and not someone who played receiver in college and won't ever develop into anything more than a ST's player...a la David Reed, Marcus Smith, LaQuan Williams...

I get the Ravens and Packers interest stuff.
But don't forget that Marcus Smith was a running back for 2 of his 4 years at New Mexico State and still out produced Harper...so Smith was still raw and learning the WR position as well.
Smith did have pretty bad hands.
But I just don't see Harper doing much better at the pro level. JMHO.
