Re: 2021 NFL Draft Mocks
Failed to land a center but otherwise, pretty happy with the haul after a couple of trade backs. Sorry, no WR, it'd be criminal if EDCC doesn't address that BEFORE the Draft.
37. Jaelan Phillips - EDGE Miami (FL)
63. Dillon Radunz - OT North Dakota State
78. Hunter Long - TE Boston College
98. Andre Cisco - S Syracuse
113. Quincy Roche - EDGE Miami (FL)
130. Adetokunbo Ogundeji - DT Notre Dame
139. Keith Taylor - CB Washington
170. Cam Sample - DT Tulane
220. Marco Wilson - CB Florida

Re: 2021 NFL Draft Mocks
Another WR to keep a watch for is D'Wayne Eskridge. Small School Kadarious Toney. If we add another WR I think it will be one of those types. The speed is the draw. I think Boykin gets phased out as he does fit the speed that they want on offense. Hollywood, Duvernay, Toney/Eskridge as your 3 WR's is a track team with a great deal of YAC potential. I think this is type of unit they want. We'll see.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft Mocks
Agree with this. However. Last year there were 4 RBs. And there is now one less.
I'd argue that the Ravens have 2 speedy RBs and 1 big RB. Maybe the Ravens find another big RB, because the Ravens should want to make sure that they have a big RB there. If a big RB was gone, there might be a greater problem than if one of the 2 smaller RBs was gone. Dobbins and Justice Hill are roughly comparable in terms of size, and Gus is the outlier.
I'd say that Stevenson from Oklahoma, if he's cheap enough, like day 3, might be a good choice at big RB and possibly FB. Basically, if you can find a 240 pound 4.55 40 guy, that's a good choice. It seems like Stevenson is about that.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft Mocks
The Ravens already move the ball down the field quite well.
The Ravens need a BIG pass catcher - either WR or TE - for Red Zone.
Every other team needs more speed at the QB position. Because the Ravens have the best and most speed at QB, the Ravens need things that aren't speed, like size, for blocking for the incredible speed they do have, in Lamar Jackson.
Hollywood Brown and Duvernay, also Justice Hill, all have excellent speed. The WRs, outside of Boykin, and Dez if he counts, lack size.
If I'm Lamar, and I'm the best QB at running and not the best QB at throwing, I'm going to want big targets that are easy to hit. I, personally, would feel more comfortable myself throwing to a pretty slow 6'9 hybrid TE/OL than Hollywood Brown, who is small and very fast. I would end up throwing behind Brown and probably over his head. A mostly immobile giant TE would be the easiest for me. I'd end up throwing it out of bounds, over his head, or maybe it's accurate enough to catch.
Before the Ravens got Brown, especially, and then also Duvernay, the Ravens did lack a speedy weapon at WR. But now that they have those speedy weapons, they don't need more. Adding a speedy weapon is not evidence that the Ravens want a whole bunch of speedy weapons at WR, when what the Ravens should have is a mix of, very important, WRs who can block, reliable catchers, big red zone threats and speedy weapons. The Ravens pretty much do have all of those things. Would argue in favor of big red zone threat at TE or WR or possibly both.
The Ravens don't really have problems moving the ball, and they don't really have problems scoring TDs, but they did in the playoff loss, and it's fairly clear that an additional big TE/WR might have helped.
It seems like the choices to throw in the end zone are mostly shortish WRs and Andrews covered by many, because you really don't want to throw to the shorter guys in the end zone. You'd think that Boykin should be able to catch TD passes in the end zone because tall + big vert, but you don't see that a lot. Boykin runs along the back of the end zone, jumps and he catches it or it's incomplete.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft Mocks
I don't necessarily agree. To me a guy like Tony puts the offense in overdrive, especially when he can also be used in the run game. And to me the Chiefs are the model and that's really all they are at the position outside of Sammy Watkins who you really don't hear too much about in their offense as of late. It's Hill, Hardman, Robinson at WR. Also, to me one way to back the Chiefs up against to wall is to match their speed. I just think a guy like Tony adds more dimensions to the offense than any other WR in this draft.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft Mocks
To simulate a possible OBJ trade with the Jags, I did trade a few 2022 Ravens picks + 2021 4th to get picks #33 and #65 (So in effect it would be OBJ + #134 for Jags #33 and #65 picks)
Also assuming (hoping) both Center and WR are addressed in FA (no Arob, though)
So after a couple of extra moves:
31. Liam Eichenberg - OT, Notre Dame
A Fighting Irish combo at both tackle positions. A guy that could be good enough to eventually take Stanley's place as LT if needed (not saying he'll be an All-Pro, mind)
33. Jaelan Phillips - EDGE, Miami
Edge is along with OT the most flaring need. Bowser, McPhee and Ward are back, no Judon/Yannick. That could amount up to 4 3rd round picks in 2020 when you add our own 3rd, Culley's comp and what these two would bring by walking, yay!
59. Jevon Holland - S, Oregon
A safety that can play single high you say?
65. Deonte Brown - IOL, Alabama
The best of the bunch by the time. That makes 5 guys to fight for both guard positions.
95. Alim McNeill - IDL, NC State
For all those posters that are sick of hearing about another BWill contract restructure. You need to find a replacement first.
167. Josh Imatorbhebhe - WR, Illinois
For all those posters that are sick of hearing about Boykin and how many chances he's had (or hasn't)
207. Marco Wilson - CB, Florida
Because you can't do a Ravens mock draft without picking a cornerback.
248. Luke Farrell - TE, Ohio State
Maybe the only name I recognised?
