6th to undrafted. He's kind of stuck between being either a big Strong Safety or a light OLB. Kam Chancellor is the only NFL guy who is similar and made it work.

Apparently schefter is reporting it was Hopkins' and Harrison's bedroom that was trashed, not Patterson.

Very surprising.

Immediately followed by reports that a GM said that Hopkins had left before the trashing took place!

Yeah. I get the impression by his game, demeanor, and how he has improved over time that Hopkins takes football waaaay too seriously to be involved in some adolescent nonsense like this.

Hopkins said he left much earlier than Harrison.

lol...Good Lord! Travis Kelce is the most vicious blocker I've ever seen at the TE position. Definitely PLAR.

To-date, I've seen mostly 3rd round value on him and he's had a private workout with us according to Walter.
I could see a trade back from #62 or maybe just take him right there and then.

This guy plays like a Raven on film, he has one hell of a mean streak on him. Personally I like him better than Ertz, but he's going to get pushed down to the 3rd/4th rounds because he has some character flaws supposedly, and the fact that he doesn't really play at a flash school doesn't help him either.

**The Excellector** · 04-20-2013, 08:08 AM

Can we please go into detail about the character flaws?

**GreatWhiteNorthRaven** · 04-20-2013, 08:52 AM

I'm sure they could give up a 6th to move up in the 4th if he reaches the middle. I think 3rd is early for him and I like Rogers in the 3rd

Unspecified, but apparently really serious. He was not only suspended by the team for the Sugar Bowl, but also for the entire season following for breaking team rules. How bad must it have been that he would be suspended for an entire year? However, it was also 2010, so it wasn't like it was yesterday.

He says he has learned and grown up since then:

“Just let them know that I’m a high-character guy,” Kelce said. “There’s stuff that’s happened in my past that’s happened. I’ve dealt with it. I’ve learned from it and I’ve overcome everything that’s happened earlier in my college career. And to let them know who I am as a person, that I’m willing to do whatever the team needs me to do and I’m all for the organization as a whole."

His coach has also said he has moved on and has grown up significantly:

However, a few months ago the Bearcats’ head coach, Butch Jones declared that ‘Travis Kelce has come as far as anyone in our football program.’ One of the reasons for his turnaround is the inspiration, insight and support that he has received from his brother (and former team-mate) Jason, who started every game for the Eagles in his rookie year.

I think if the Ravens want him, they are going to have to move up in the 3rd round, because he won't be on the board by the end of the third. He might even go in the 2nd, even if that is a high projection. Some team is going to want him and jump.
