I had no interest in Ray before, definitely not now. A dumb move just like Gregory. The difference being Gregory looks way better on tape.

[Biggsy]

He hasn't done anything stupid, at least not yet, but I just want to note, I want no parts of Bud Dupree. He's an athlete, but he is not a great football player. He put decent numbers up, because he was physically superior to his opponent. He won't be in the NFL. And he has very little natural football instincts. Just my opinion.

Dupree has a ton of potential. He's only a pass rusher right now, but an impactful one.

I mean, I'm not here to cop bash, but wrong cop at the wrong time can easily lead to an arrest even if you're being polite when you're a 6'3'' well built black man.
 
Also, this is what the article I read (http://time.com/3837...souri-football/) said:
 

 
I don't really like the fact that we're calling this kid an asshole. It's a really stupid thing to do right before one of the biggest days for your life, but honestly this kid has probably been rolling around with this kind of pot in his car or around him all his life. And hasn't even thought to change his ways. I'm not calling that right, but I'm also not going to call the kid an asshole. Or jump to the conclusion that he was belligerent with the cops. 

He risked millions...he's an asshole, lol

I may end up being wrong about this, but I sense we will go with a " clean" guy in round 1. No Gregory, no Peters, no Green Beckham, etc. After Round 1, when there isn't as much press around them, I think they'll be more willing to take guys with " issues".

Impactful maybe. He had 7.5 sacks last year but only like 16 career college sacks. Kind of subpar for a pass rusher with his athletic ability. He's an athlete. But not a very good football player. At least not right now. With proper coaching, he may put it together, and if he can, he could be really good. But right now, you're getting a specialist. I was watching some video on him, he gets stood up and stone walled by TE's in college

One of ESPNs insiders, Adam Caplan, thinks Gregory goes in R2.

I don't see it. I think he falls, but not out of the round.I really hope the Ravens take him if he is available. He is a Top 10 talent.

He also said he was told there are only 10 players worthy of a first round grade...Golic said he had heard 10-15. Eagles GM said less than 20.

Hard to think In a draft without many true first rounders that too many teams wil pass him up.

Also makes me think the a Ravens will potentially be over drafting but may not be able to do anything about it.

Yup. I don't really like 26, but thats the spot we are in. Not the greatest spot to move back either.

I wonder if players are off the board that they like and teams want their pick, if they would trade their first this year for a first next year and punt the first round?

I know it takes 2 to tango, just saying if that offer was there.

I think Danny Shelton is the pick, if he's there.  Gurley will be gone.

Wasn't it Peters yesterday. Shelton won't be there but certainly would be in play if he were.

If he is there, they would take him.

Doubt he will though.

Mayock did his mock tonight and had the a Ravens take Peters.

The one thing I will say about that is he stands a good chance to drop because of issues that may not be a big deal and since he is a legit first round talent, he could be the pick.

Personally, I don't like going corner in R1 but you have to take the best player you can.
