Ideal Draft

Fifth round - FB (I liked what Rickard did, but we need a better FB)

Sixth round - WR

Seventh round - QB

We could then move Flacco to WR or TE or QBs coach.

So much for getting playmakers. I'd hate this draft and prolly boycott. How do you not address wr until the 6th? A fb before a rb or wr? Or is this a joke?

but when your picking 31-32 every year you're always already a solid built team.

We need impact players.

My draft

Ronald Jones II HB USC
DJ Moore WR Maryland
Caleb Wilson TE UCLA

Oh trust me I agree we need impact players, I want a rb, 2 wrs in the first 4. What's the deal with Jones not being a receiving threat or is that just how he was used

It's a joke. After every game for the last 5 years no matter what the circumstance any and every news sources has blamed every woe the Ravens have on Flacco. Half the people on this board follow that same rhetoric. I'm just so fucking tired of it and you can clearly see by how this past year played out that Ozzie is a fraud along with Harbaugh, yet the franchise QB who's contract is the same as 20 other QBs in the NFL is the one to blame.

I dont think they utilized the HB or at least him in the passing game. I have no idea what his hands are like but he's got the RAC ability to be a nightmare.

I won't pretend to have really graded TEs but here's the list of guys I see being touted. In the games I saw, a few of them did stand out. I think we can certainly get more athletic than Boyle, younger than Watson and more dependable than Williams or Waller.

1. Mark Andrews | Oklahoma (Baker Mayfield's go-to guy; big target and athletic)

2. Mike Gesicki | Penn State (towering 6'6" and athletic. Huge red zone threat)

3. Troy Fumagalli | Wisconsin (fits their scheme in that he's a great blocker and reliable target in the seam)

4. Adam Breneman | Massachusetts (Was stuck behind Gesicki and transferred out after being a big time recruit; nearly as tall at 6'5")

5. Dallas Goedert | South Dakota State (Ravens have done well finding FCS guys and he's worth looking at with big numbers, including 17+ ypc avg.)

6. Hayden Hurst | South Carolina

7. Drew Sample | Washington

8. Ryan Izzo | Florida State

9. Cam Serigne | Wake Forest

10. Ian Thomas | Indiana

11. Dalton Schultz | Stanford

12. Marcus Baugh | Ohio State

13. Brandon Fritts | North Carolina

14. Tyler Petite | USC

15. C.J. Conrad | Kentucky

* List from Draftwire; comments mine

Very nice! I really like Gesicki and Goedert.
Both are simply playmakers and would instantly upgrade the offense, especially in the red zone. Big targets, especially Gesicki.
They both have great hands and have made some really difficult catches. If I could only pick one, it would be Gesicki with his height, but make no mistake, Goedert is legit too.

Define "instantly upgrade?" sadly, very rarely do TE rookies make a difference in this league.

Catching the ball...of course, if Watson is retiring, and Jimmy Graham is available and affordable, Gesicki would be a nice pairing with him.

You get your wr by moving Flacco. Did you even read the post?
