Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
I'm not AGAINST drafting a WR (even early, if that's how the board shakes out), but I think we HAVE TO find a quality 3rd OT in this draft (or FA, if the opportunity presents itself).
We can't go into another season crossing our fingers that Stanley / Brown stay healthy the whole year.

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
We may get a WR at pick 32 (we'll hope 32) that on a normal year would be picked around the middle of the 1st round. WR isn't a pressing need, but that may be too much value to pass up. Lining up say Justin Jefferson on the outside with Hollywood, with Andrews and Hurst at TE and Ingram in the backfield looks pretty damn awesome. I think a complete top tier outside WR would literally make our offense unstoppable.

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
Hurst looked damn good at LT in 2 games.
OT is on my list for sure, but I think it's a 4th-5th round target for a developmental guy.
And even then you almost have to cut Hurst to keep him.
2020:
Stanley-Bozeman-Skura-Yanda-Brown
Mekari-Hurst-Powers
That's your 8 and we typically don't keep 9 (I think the last time we did was when Yanda was injured and we wanted the flexibility of a couple of OG's - we traded for someone from JAX and signed another).
So if you bring in a new OT, who leaves? Won't be Powers or Mekari and is 2.5M enough to cut a guy that played competently for you?"Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
I'd like to answer you both in one post : Yes, if a WR is rated as BPA (in whatever round, hopefully within 1 - 4) then EDC has got to take him. Nothing wrong with a yearly inflow of young WRs to develop as our talented QB gets stronger and more experienced. I'd even add O-line too. As much as I'd like a "defensive draft", you've got to weigh each round/player against the Ravens yardstick of valuation, need, assessment, etc. to get what our brain-trust feels is best for our specific team...

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
Id be happy with our current WR crop if we get some studs in the front 7. We will have a 2013 seahawks/2015 broncos level defense if the offseason is focused on defense.
Our defense right now is pretty damn good don't get me wrong... but imagine a defense as good as the 2015 Broncos with this years offense, there is potential to go unbeaten with that.

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
It’s crazy, CeeDee is my favorite WR prospect in years and he’s not even gonna be the first off the board
My list btw:
T1. Lamb/Jeudy
3. Shenault
4. Ruggs
5. Higgins
6. Jefferson
All those guys are first rounders to me though I imagine one or two fall to the top of the second. I don’t have clear cut preferences yet on the day two guys but there’s a ton of talent there as well.

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
I think we're set if we sign AJ because we have two guys that can stretch the field at that point, putting the defense in quite the conundrum of having to put 8 in the box or leave AJ and Hollywood flying down the field in single coverage and us being so run oriented will help keep him healthy. We could focus entirely on defense in the draft. Seth, Snead and Boykin are all on cheap deals so we would have depth if he did get hurt. Hollywood, AJ and Andrews would be a receiving core that would make a case being one of the best in the league.

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
A guy like Julian Okwara (DE/OLB Notre Dame), Yetur Gros- Matos (OLB Penn State), or Kenneth Murray (ILB Oklahoma) would all be great, but, I would think it would be awfully hard to pass up on a burner like Ruggs in the 1st to pair with Hollywood. Preferably, it would be one of the defensive guys discussed and Devonta Smith in the 2nd. Smith's hands are impeccable and he was absolutely torching the LSU defense who is star studded with NFL guys.

Re: An Even Closer Look: 2020 WR draft class
Need DE, Linebacker or DT. I'm fine with the Ozzie approach of WR in later rounds.
