Who Do We Draft in April?

I’ll be thrilled. That would be a coup for us.

Shit, I’d be thrilled if Hey-Bey drops to us. I have a feeling that after he blows up at the combine and runs a 4.2 forty, his stock will be on the rise.

I’ve never been a big Harvin fan, but maybe I’m biased since I don’t like Florida. Can anyone convince me why he would be better to take then Hey-Bey at #26, if both are still on the board?

I am just as confused as you Dan about why everyone loves Harvin. Maybe because its Florida and he is more of an athlete than a WR. I just dont want that little speed demon type of WR anymore. I am tired of getting guys 5’10", 6’0" who are supposed to be good because of their speed. Hey-Bey brings so much more to the table than these guys do, in my opinion.

Hey-Bey is just starting to get his football career going. The man was a Track and Field Star all through out high school and never really focused this much on football until he came to MD. He was only a two year starter in High School but excelled when the ball was thrown to him. The two reasons I feel the Hey-Bey is the 2nd best WR in this draft behind Crabtree are the speed and size combination he has (4.23 forty and 6’3" 206lbs) and the potential. He is still not as complete of a WR as he and others want him to be, but the fact that he was able to showcase his abilities with Chris Turner at QB and that UMD offense that rarely got the ball to him was amazing.

Not just because I am a Terp, but I truly feel that this man is the best first round pick for us with the 26th pick.

We traded the 26th pick for boldin if available. Or trade it down for a top ten pick in the second round and an additional 4th round pick.
I hate the idea of looking for a wr to draft since it hasn’t really been the ravens strong point. I say go after the top corners or trade that 1st rounder for an already developed Wr or more picks.

WR Kenny Britt, CB Darius Butler should both be considerations.

we need a receiver who can tackle about 10 yards downfield on the right side

no florida receivers please..they are surrounded by talent and its hard to tell how much is them…rather have star from a loser school in a tough division..then you know he did it on his own…I like Bey because he made a name for himself and did not get the ball lioke he should have..he also had a very average qb..what he did was all on his own. i think we have only seen a fraction of what he can do..he’s a big guy as well. fast ect. nice combo. if he has a good combine look out. he’s gone very early.

But if Harvin is there I think he would be a great pick. Could definitely give us another dimension on O, I think cam could design something for him.

Otherwise, I say we go DB.

Rexx could you e-mail me (address is in my profile) I’m covering the AFC North for the newly revived Mocking the Draft and want to get your thoughts. The email in your profile was just returning my message to you.

Thanks,

His name is Ramses Barden. He is a 6’6" 227 pound freak at Wide Receiver. You are asking yourself, “who the hell is this guy and where is he from?” Well, just like our cool and calm QB, he hails from another Division 1AA school, Cal-Poly.

Here is what www.BaltimoreRavens.com had to say about Ramses Barden.

The 2009 Senior Bowl is stocked with wide receiver talent but a player that has caught the attention of scouts is Ramses Barden of Cal-Poly, a division 1-AA school. Many hadn’t heard of Barden before this week, but at 6-foot-6, 227 pounds, he’s hard to miss on the practice field. Barden registered 67 catches and 18 touchdowns in his senior season, grabbing a total of 50 touchdowns in four seasons with the Mustangs. Scouts were interested in seeing just how Barden would compete with players from the nations top college football programs.

Barden’s take on the Senior Bowl

"The competition isn’t really a shock or anything like that. I’ve played against good guys before, people that are going on to play in the league," said Barden after the North team practice on Wednesday. "The biggest adjustment this week is probably the same that a lot of people have, and that’s not having played in a practice in a month or two months, for me. Now that I’m here, it’s business as usual."

You never know what Ozzie and crew is going to do…..

Hakeem Nicks from North Carolina. He wont run a great 40 time( low 4.40’s) but the man catchs everything thrown at him. He may have the best pair of hands in this draft class. He runs smooth crisp routes and hes Physically built ( 6’1 210). Been compare to Michael Irvin but he reminds be of (dare i say it) The G.O.A.T JERRY RICE. Im not saying that he is the next Rice, but the comparisons are crazy. Coming outta college, both ran great routes, have excellent hands and Nicks will most likely fall in the draft because he doesnt run a 4.3.

So lets say Baltimore goes ahead and takes a WR with the 1st pick. We will most likely go CB with the 2nd(unless a guy like Tyson Jackson was there). So if this is the case, who do we take. I few guys who might be there are Victor “MAcho” Harris, Alphonso Smith, Sean smith, etc. Who do you guys think we take?

Even though Heyward-Bey made him look like a fool this year : )

But he is considered to be the best Senior CB at the Seniors Bowl and made some really big plays this week in practice according to a lot of scouts. Smith is only 5’9" 190lbs though but has great ball skills.

Other guy I like is Darius Butler from UCONN. I saw a few videos of him and he would be a steal if there in the 3rd round.

Hey everyone, first post. The one glaring weakness that Harvin has is he is injury prone. I don’t know if he would survive in the AFC North. If JMac from Mizzou falls that far he would be perfect for the Ravens.
