This draft would be sick. Except in hindsight I'd probably take Morgan Moses who was on the board over Cyrus, just a safer pick.

Re: FanSpeak Mock Draft Simulator
I think this draft is a bit more realistic than the fanspeak one. I agree on Moses too. With Monroe in his prime and capably anchoring LT for a while, I don't see any real need to gamble at RT. It's not a position that requires a gamble. Give me Moses any day. He has some upside, with infinitely less risk than Cyrus.

Re: FanSpeak Mock Draft Simulator
I see this over and over and over. I fail to see the need to add a 7th and 8th WR to our team, when we have glaring needs at S/CB/DE. I think it's unlikely that the Ravens take more than WR in the draft. Using 2 of the first 3 picks on WR is indefensible, given the talent we already have at the position. I can't see the logic in taking 4 offensive players with our first four picks too. Right now, IMO, we need a RT and the offense is looking good. We have far more holes to fill on a very pedestrian defense that really hasn't added anyone from last year.
I'm not sure how you can expect the 12th/12th ranked defense to be better when you lose one of it's top 6/7 players (Art Jones) and two other solid role players (Ihedigbo and Graham) while adding only adding one backup S (Darrian Stewart), and using NONE of your top 4 picks on defense. Our defense seemed better than it was last year, simply because our offense looked so badly comparatively. Don't fool yourselves into thinking that this defense will be very good unless there is some talent infusion through the draft. If you look at the top 7 Ravens defenders on the current roster, only two are ascending players (Jimmy Smith and Elam).Last edited by LukeDaniel; 04-07-2014 at 03:48 PM.

Re: FanSpeak Mock Draft Simulator
I actually think the defense will be better by simply having an offense that can stay on the field and play with a lead...without any significant changes.
I know I've been critical of the defense last year, but honestly it's a miracle that they played that well with the massive ammounts of 3 and outs and turnovers.
By simply staying on the field and not turning the ball over, the defense should be better by default.
I think a defender or 2 early would be smart too, but in no way would I say it'd be indefensible not to take one in the first 4 rounds. We could use some depth at spots, but other than FS, there aren't any glaring holes there either.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: FanSpeak Mock Draft Simulator
^ CB!!!! and DL. People seem to overlook it trying to get our offense up to date. Myself included. We currently only have 4 CB's on the roster. No BS. We need ALOT of help there. Most teams carry 7, some even more. I wasn't even thinking it till I saw the depth chart. And our 3 and 4 were Chykie and Asa and thats it!
