Re: 2021 NFL Draft prospects
I'm going to say no. I watched some of his film and he can be beat.
Personally I feel like Quenton Nelson was the best OL prospect I've ever seen. I know Nelson plays LG and Sewell plays LT, but Nelson to me was nastier, had better hand placement in both pass and run blocking, Nelson gave better effort play in and play out, and Nelson was about the same size if not heavier than Sewell is. Which is kind of dumb to say because it seems like I'm painting Sewell in a poor light when really he's an all world player.
But for me it was Nelson

The history of those really Offensive Tackle prospects has not always been good.
Tony Mandrich
Greg Robinson
Eric Fisher
Jake Long
Matt Kalil
Jason Smith
Those were all at least top 5 and many top 1 or 2 picked. Sewell looks amazing but I really wish we could have seen him this year.

I’m a HUGE Rashod Bateman and Ardarius Washington fans.
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft prospects
You know, I really get tired of people mentioning Julio Jones as an example for the Ravens to copy as a draft strategy. While he is a great player, the Falcons F*&ked up their team's chances for about 3 years with all of the draft capital they gave up plus it weakened their already shitty defense by not having enough draft picks to pick defensive players.
Those years it was the Falcons trying to out score everybody as the only way to could try to win a game and it didn't work.
I don't mind if the Ravens trade up if it's reasonable. However, not for what the Falcons did with Jones!

Re: 2021 NFL Draft prospects
This is undoubtedly true. Grant Delpit was a sure fire 1st rounder and even considered as a Top 10 prospect entering his last college season.
I can't see an OT run in the 1st round like last year but on the other hand there are probably 3 TEs worthy of a 1st round pick when in 2020 the first TE was taken at 43.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft prospects
Well......................I agree, and I kind of don't. I think the Falcons shouldn't have done it because they were more than just one player away from being a championship team. They had a few holes on defense and a couple on offense. The offense was really Matt Ryan, Roddy white, and Gonazalez (all pass). They needed help at more than one spot.
The reason I brought it up though was because it does seem like this team is just a player or two away. We need one great pass rusher and an alpha receiver. The Ravens have a QB, they have a run game, they have a lot of complimentary receivers, they have a secondary, they have some young and promising LB's, they have run stuffers on the DL. They need pass rush and a true impact threat at WR.
Now would I give away an entire draft to trade up 20 spots? no, I'm sorry, but no. This team is above most of the league because they hit on 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks. But I would certainly entertain the idea to give up 3 or 4 picks to move up 10 to 15 spots and get a stud at a position of need. Once upon a time this team was considering trading up to get Khalil Mack in that 2014 draft, they'll do it if the opportunity presents itself.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft prospects
Yep, yep, and yep.
You never know what position groups will really emerge with top end talent and you never know who retires and what positions of need to be filled on what team and who likes what person etc.......
The draft is a crap shoot honestly, but one thing I can gaurentee EVERY SINGLE YEAR, people fall. People get drafted way below where they're projected. Where they're projected in September and October vs where they're projected in April, and hell even where they're projected on draft night. It always happens!
