I would love to add a great Center to this O-line. I think things would suddenly open up wide across the board, with a great player in the middle. Everything else would flow much easier.

But sloppy technique, even if it has been improved, is still not great. It's hard to break some of those tendencies.

Come to think of it, shouldn't Jim be doing write ups on the Michigan players?

They're all great. High-effort, high-football-IQ players. But really, they're even better men than they are football players. Any team would be lucky to have any of them.

Would you say any of them are mighty?

Last year I argued here about Lamar Jackson every goddam day.

**ravensintennessee** · 02-17-2020, 02:42 PM

I really really really want Tee Higgins. Huge frame, great hands, can win above the rim and along the boundary, which would hugely help Lamar. Certainly some room for improvement, but I think he'd take us to the next level on offense. Hollywood, Higgins, Boykin and Snead with our TEs would be wild. I don't think he'd be the kind of guy to light up the combine, which hopefully keeps his stock in late R1. Would love to hear thoughts on him from folks who have studied him.

Tee Higgins is very high on my list. I just don't think he'll be available at #28 and I don't see the Ravens trading up to the teens to get him. Higgins looks like a taller version of Devante Adams. What's not to like?

I dont think he's as fluid as a runner. I saw AJ Green as a comparison and I can see it a bit. Uses some really nice hand techniques to get separation and if you put that ball up he's doing everything he can to get it.

I'm for it. With so many WRs writhing in the first round, he might just fall that far. I wouldn't trade up for him either. I hate to stunt Boykin's growth if he can breakout, but considering Marquise is not going to be a high-volume targets receiver, those two could profitably split time and Higgins could get as much attention as he can handle.

Higgins would allow Boykin and Brown to play reps in the slot and at Z too, which interests me.

Boykin isn't good at breaking off routes down field, but his first step off the line was one of his greatest strengths (weird how acceleration and agility can change like that)

I don't think I've seen Higgins mocked higher than WR6, he should be there at 28 and even later. It's not as if we need a high production WR anyway to spend our first round pick in one and I think there will be a lot of value for a WR in the second and third rounds. We are probably better off drafting IDL, iOL or even LB at 28 (or trading back a bit)
