I think we'll go pass rusher in the first.
Re: 2016 Draft Thread. Is it too early? Never.
If we could somehow land Joey Bosa without giving up the entire year...that would be sick.

:word, next draft season seems like the time to do it.
Re: 2016 Draft Thread. Is it too early? Never.
Can someone tell me why Hackenberg is the #1 QB prospect? He had a 55.8 completion percentage and threw 15 picks vs 10 TDs.
Re: 2016 Draft Thread. Is it too early? Never.
It's probably my heart talking more than my head but I would love it if Barry Sanders ended up on the Ravens.

Hard to know. He looked pretty good at Stanford's spring game. He has his Dad's style, obviously not to the same levels of skill, but when he gets in space he can explode out of a cut and show great vision when setting up his blocks. His touches in college have been limited by a talented backfield ahead of him but I think he has a chance to break out this year.
Like I said, I'm basing a lot of this on my affinity for his dad. And while his high school tape is obviously worth a rat's whisker in terms of judging his talent, you should check it out. It is a hell of a lot of fun to watch and see the similarities in running style.

A guy to keep an eye on is Shilique Calhoun from Michigan State. 6'6" 260lb DE with nice pass-rushing ability.

It seems logical, and it is a need, but Ozzie goes for BPA in the 1st. Why reach for a specific position when a superior player can be found at another? Perhaps when the Ravens choose (#32 :)) the top player on our board will be Oline or RB (?) Remember, that in 2015 we needed a CB, but Ozzie waited until very late 4th (comp pick) to do so... Bc

Wicked, Calhoun (if he declared) was the guy that I really wanted us to draft this year. When he decided not to come out I just mentally filed it away for 2016. I really hope we have a chance to draft him next year.
