Re: Three years from now who will be your favorite Raven from this draft class?
Matt Elam.
Big time play maker. Big hitter. Speedy. He can cover, he can blitz, and he can tackle. I think he is going to be a good one.
I actually really like this draft more and more.
Elam - Day 1 starter at SS.
Brown - Day 1 starter at ILB (Probably Will with Rolando and/or Bynes at Mike)
Williams - Rotational player. Will be a contributor in year 1. Could start at NT if Cody blows again and they keep Ngata at DT.
Simon - Rotational player. Excellent depth at Sam backer behind Upshaw. Has starter potential. He's a lot better of a pass rusher than people give him credit for.
Jusczczyk - Contributor in year 1 as a blocker/H-Back. Will probably split time with Leach and Dickson in certain sets.
Ricky Wagner - Potential contributor in year 1 as a reserve tackle/guard. Has potential to be a starter at RT or G.
Lewis-Moore - If he weren't hurt and going on IR, he probably would be a rotational contributor this year much like Art Jones was his first season. This guy definitely has the potential to be a starting-caliber 5-tech DT. Maybe as early as next year.
Jensen - depth center/guard.
Mellete - Ideal size/speed for an NFL receiver. Nice hands, but is a small school player. Jury is still out on him.
Anthony - depth corner who could contribute on STs right away.
So, by my count, that is 5 guys who will either start or being a major contributor this year. 1 more who will see some playing time like Gino did last year on the OL. 1 other guy going on IR who probably would be a rotational DT on running downs. 1 guy who will contribute on STs right away and another WR with a ton of upside.
THAT is a good yield from a draft. The Ravens legitimately drafted 7 players who could all be starters within a year or two.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
