The debate goes on and on over this guy vs that one.
Something I asked a blogger on twitter was, excluding guys the Ravens have no shot at...what is your ideal player for the Ravens at each need spot
WR
OT
ILB
S
NT?
For me...
WR:
Hopkins
Allen
Hunter
Patton
Bailey/Rodgers
OT:
Armstead
Watson
Faulk
Quessenberry
Long
ILB:
Ogletree (seen him going lower and lower in mocks)
Brown
Teo
Alonso
Klein
S:
Elam
Cyprien
Reid
Swearinger
Shmarko Thomas
Looks about right to me. I'd probably add Minter as a third round guy at MLB.
Forgive me Scally, I used your template since I'm at work for a quick post. I switched a couple players. I agreed with most of your list, but added a couple players as well.
WR:
Hopkins
Allen
Hunter
Woods
Patton
Dobson
OT:
Armstead
Watson
Faulk
Quessenberry
Long
ILB:
Brown
Teo
Ogletree (I don't really like this player for some reason)
Alonso
Reddick
S:
Elam
Cyprien
Reid
Swearinger
Phillip Thomas -Fresno St (Got a feeling he could become something special and had 8 picks in 2012)
I'm not that high on Minter either. I'm in no way a professional, but the only ILB I like in the 1st rd is Arthur Brown and maybe Olgetree at the very end. Not a big Ogletree fan on just a feeling and not so much his tape. I heard an interview with him and while he isn't rah rah which I don't care about, he just had an undertone I didn't like.Quote:

I specifically left Minter off...he was actually the reason I started this. So many mocks have us going Minter, but the word on him is best against the run, no real cover skills, and mainly, doesn't do anything great.
If we need an ILB, I think we either need a good coverage LB, or someone who is VERY good in one area at least. To me, Ogletree is the best all around ILB, Teo is the best coverage LB, and Arthur Brown isn't the typical ILB, but is the best LB prospect that can play ILB. I just don't really want Minter unless he's coming as a serious steal.
Similarly, I like Armstead and Watson, but if we can't get either, I'd really want us to target Faulk. I think Faulk, without his injury, would've been right in the mix between the big 3 and Armstead/Watson.
The blogger I was tweeting to said his top OT for the Ravens was Justin Pugh. I need someone to sell me on him, because right now, all I see is Adam Terry v2.
There are actually a couple of WRs who I think could be sitting there in the middle of the third round who I like as much if not better than any of the names on that list. My hope is that the Ravens use their first two picks on an offensive and defensive lineman and then grab either Markus Wheaton or Da'Rick Rogers with their third selection.Quote:

TE- Eiffert, Esobar or Michael Williams(late)
cb- Mathieu
Brennan Williams, he's only going to be able to play RT, correct?
I know at one time, he seemed like a great pickup, but I really want to look mostly at guys who have the ability to play on the left side eventually.
Thats not the impression I get with him. He seems to have LT potential from what I can tell.Quote:
