Re: Players you want drafted before pick 27
Those are my two top targets at #27. Bateman lit up his Pro Day and likely doesn't even sniff #27 though. The Titans are probably his absolute floor as a Corey Davis replacement.
Phillips concerns are all medical. So as fans we don't really have much say in that as we won't know what the Ravens medical staff concludes on him. If he's cleared then he's a top 15 talent. Best pass rusher in the class easily.
- Bateman could be the next Justin Jefferson, two big thumbs up if he falls to us somehow
- Phillips, who the hell knows... love his talent, we're probably not going to know about his medical clearance on draft night to have a firm opinion on his value

Re: Players you want drafted before pick 27
I watched Bateman play a few games in '20 and he stunk. My concern is which guy is he? The guy on the field or at the combine? The '20 or the '19 Bateman?
Give me Marshall.
Phillips could be the next Tim Williams. I don't like him much for the Ravens scheme where he will have to do more than put a hand in the dirt and come off the edge to rush the pass. If we're taking gambles on pass rushers, let's do it in the second or third round, and use the first round pick on a more trustworthy option."That's what."

Re: Players you want drafted before pick 27
Well, I think Jenkins is a home run at 27. But I don't think he's getting past Pittsburgh, as I wrote in another thread. Marshall, yes.
From there maybe Dickerson. I know that sounds dumb. How can I call Phillips risky and not Dickerson? Most of my objection to Phillips is scheme fit, not injury. But as to Phillips' injury, concussion is a different kind of ticking time bomb. Dickerson is either going to black flagged by the medical staff and they don't draft him...or he is green lighted, in which case he's a legit 1st round talent.
I also think you can drop into the second and get him because teams will be scared off.
I actually think Barmore is a better bet than people are giving him credit for. Most of the negative on him stems from his tendency to play outside the scheme, trying to do to much, and getting himself into poor positions to make tackles. I'm confident that the Ravens will pound into his head to just do his job. I like his fit for the defense because they can move him around. Pairing him with Madibuke as they get ready to move on from B Will sounds pretty good to me.
So, for me, I think I'm rooting for Jenkins, Marshall, Barmore, and Dickerson (if cleared) to be on the board at 27. But, other than Jenkins being there, I'd also be just fine with trading back."That's what."

Re: Players you want drafted before pick 27
Shas, I'm right there with you on both. Bateman's 2019 and 2020 seasons are like Jekyll and Hyde. Unfortunately the Hyde came in his latest season @ Minnesota. I'm leery of guys who are outstanding at the Combine, and maybe in the gym or on the track, but their play on the field doesn't reflect it.
Terrace Marshall @ LSU in 2019 (46/671/14.6/13 TDs) and in 2020 (48/731/15.2/10 TDs). Good size (6' 3" - 200 lbs) and seems steady.
I not only agree about Phillips, but all the possible Pass Rushers when we get to pick seem "iffy" to me. I'd rather wait on that, but as you posted, not too long (2nd or 3rd)... Bc

Re: Players you want drafted before pick 27
He nearly averaged 100 yds a game in a 5 game season. With all the COVID protocols effecting practice, travel, and pretty much everything I won't kill a college kid for having a difficult time.
Bateman is by far the superior route runner, and is a natural catcher. He passes the eye test when you watch him play and watch his Pro Day.
Marshall is solid as well, but limited in his route tree and seems to fight the ball at times when catching it. I'll take Bateman all day over Marshall, but won't be mad if Bateman is off the board and we end up with Marshall.
