Agree, resign Wallace for cheap and cut Maclin.

Landry will be too expensive, I think. I don't see how we can get a 5/$50M type deal under the cap, but maybe we can work it. I'd draft a WR #1 or #2 if it makes sense.

BTW I'd try to bring Camp back too. That guy will carve out a career as a WR if he's healthy. Understandably that is a big if but it shouldnt cost too much.

Can't see us being able to afford Landry. Getting Jeffery would have been the difference of this team making the playoffs this year and finishing how they did. I honestly believe if he would have chose us over Philly, our offense would have looked a lot better.

Also like his return skills. Shouldn’t cost too much.

Allen Robinson is another interesting name.

Marquis Lee...Watkins

[Biggsy]

It'd be nice if both Darnold and Rosen come out this year. I don't particularly like either, but it would push a great QB prospect down the board. I want Baker Mayfield if we go QB. He's probably a top ten lock at this point. But I love that guys passion. He can be a bit over the top, but after a decade of Flacco's demeanor, I want a guy like Mayfield who wears his heart on his sleeve and shows a ton of emotion, like Phillip Rivers.

[Mackus]

I think we will be more in the Donte Moncrief price range.

I'd take flyers on Watkins or Robinson. Almost a guarantee they end up on IR though

[Mackus]

Those guys aren't gonna be cheap, either. $8-9M AAV would be my guess, though fewer years and less guaranteed.

Robinson may get a 1 year deal to re-establish value

[Mackus]

Maybe, but that would be a difficult deal for the Ravens to work under the cap. All the hit guaranteed in Year 1 is the opposite of how the Ravens need to structure a deal. Also not sure Baltimore is the destination a WR would seek out when trying to have a big year to go get paid.

Physically I think he compares well with Russell Wilson.....undersized, but mobile and can make all the throws with decent accuracy. The main difference between the two coming out is the offense they played in. Wilson was already in a pro-style system his final year at Wisconsin, Mayfield obviously isn't and would likely have a greater learning curve making the jump. The other criticism of Mayfield is that he might have too much "gunslinger" in him.....he makes big plays, but takes big risks. In college you can get away with it a lot more. In the NFL it could make him go from the next Russell Wilson to the next Rex Grossman.

[bnickle]

I'll admit I haven't watched Mayfield play a snap this year but reading scouting reports two red flags have stuck out.

1. They think he's barely 6 foot. If that.

2. He struggles to read defenses.

[SportsGuy]

Mayfield could be very good but he’s too Johnny Manziel to me.

I’m not convinced he can win games from the pocket.

He’s the type of guy I want to see our rivals take.

Josh Allen is the one who scares me. Boom or bust for sure but probably the highest ceiling in the draft.

[BSLMikeLowe]

While there are some maturity concerns with Mayfield, I wouldn't put him in Manziel's category. No evidence (yet) that he's a partier or might have substance abuse issues.

[bnickle]

Let's just hope Cle passes on Rosen or he refuses to play there. He's the stud.

I expect Cleveland to sign Cousins.

Then take their five picks in the first two rounds and improve a lot.  

If they can sign Cousins, I'd expect them to draft Barkley with one of the two 1st rounders.

If they sign Cousins they need to trade that #1 pick.

[bnickle]

Allen will definitely end up going Top 5. He's 6'5 with mobility and a rocket arm. What makes NFL scouts drool. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being the 1st QB drafted.
