    Re: All Things Draft:

    I'm a little concerned about Armsteads size and arm length, that's the main thing that's holding me back from fully joining this new bandwagon.

    34 inches isn't favourable, but I think he makes up for it with his quick feet. His feet move like a hiccup and he shuffles quite well. They balance out IMO

    Re: All Things Draft:

    Question, last training camp we had a fellow named Connell. I think on PS now. Is he a tackle or just depth for guard? I know the coaches really liked him.

    Jack Cornell. Depth for both G and T. Played mostly G in college, but played some T during 2012 camp.

    He had a pretty epic beard in the SB run.

    Re: All Things Draft:

    I like Hankins or Jenkins for the 1st pick at DT/NT. If the heavens aligned meaning every team took the "duh" pill before the draft, I would love Shariff Floyd, but no chance there.

    Outside of that position, I could see Jarvis Jones scaring a lot of teams off, but I see the Steelers taking him for some reason.

    Tavon Austin would be a good hometown pick and would be a steal at 32, but someone jumps up before he would get to our slot.

    Tackles I think will not be picked at #32. We go into FA before we pick up a rookie tackle to start IMO unless it's one of the top three Joekel, Fischer, or Lane Johnson. I think Fluker is a RT in the league.

    This is the toughest draft ever in my eyes and I think that a lot of teams screw their drafts, but not my Ravens. This draft is so muddied with talent, but also very flawed prospects. Thank heavens we don't need a QB.

    With my eyes Clemson's Hopkins physically looks like Houshmandzadeh.
    Hopkins hands >> Housh's (who was mostly a body catcher)

    Well, at one point TJ Whosyourmama was one of the best possession receivers in the NFL. I actually think he made Chad Johnson better.

    When Doss was coming out of college I evaluated him as a similar prospect to Houshmandzadeh. Taller, long-limbed, thin receivers with sub-par straight-line speed and underwhelming "quicks" but good body control and catching radius to serve as a possession receiver. At their best, both of them can find the hole in the zone, make the catch, and get a little YAC.

    I think Hopkins is a much better prospect than either of them and more Roddy White than TJ. I was surprised by his 214lbs weight-in at the Combine--that's an extremely solid build for a 6'1 WR, but he doesn't have an ounce of fat on him. He plays faster than his 4.57 on tape.

    The Ravens need to walk away from this draft with a legit outside-the-numbers receiver, unless they feel a miracle can happen and Streeter is going to become that guy (I wouldn't bet on it.)

    Agreed that he is more of a deep threat than Housh ever was.

    I really think Hakeem Nicks is a good comparison. Similar build, great hands, good route runner, tough to bring down, and deceptive quickness.

    Justin Hunter might be that guy. I also like Da'Rick Rogers a lot. He isn't a speedster, but his size and separation ability make him intriguing.

    I agree with both. I wasn't disparaging Hopkins, btw. That's just who he reminds me of with the eyeball test.
