Jk, my bad... totally missed that. Know Moses missed the season, but was seeing recent mocks with both still listed.

I could see going OL or DT in the 1st round as well, maybe even Edge although I don't love this class of pass-rushers once you get past the top 2-3 who are gonna be taken already.

Yeah they're not getting a difference maker edge guy at 28

Gross-Matos is a name that could be linked to the Ravens a lot

Also something Orioles fans were saying a lot in the mid-2000s.

Moses is re-evaluating things or he was as of last week.

My understanding of the situation is there is some kind ambiguity stemming from his injury/insurance, and there is only a very small chance he would still declare.

Some kind of passing coordinator to pair with Roman may be good for the team.

I still don’t believe in Roman as a guy that is all that creative in the pass game.

Yes...but i think he ultimately says, it’s not worth the risk. He’s a first round pick regardless.

I think they will need to find an edge rusher in free agency or trade, and draft somebody for the future.

That would be very surprising. I think it's likely they draft one in the later rounds, but not with an early pick

I wouldnt be upset about Etienne especially if you get him round 2 or later.

I love that you included Etienne. I'm not sure I would be so dismissive of him being an option. If this team were sold on Edwards, Ingram never would have been a thought. Ingram will be 31. And Justice Hill didn't really impress in his chances.

Etienne may be a luxury pick. But he offers you a do it all back. He also gives you a HR hitter that gets 6 if you focus too much on Jackson.

I'd prefer a WR or a LBer/edge player. But I wouldn't be mad if they grabbed one of the stud RB prospects either.

Free agency may determine that 1st pick. If they find an edge guy, BPA may be it.

I think edge rusher and O-line are equally large needs. You could argue for WR too, but I have hope for Boykin too.

I think anything except QB, RB, S, and CB is in play in the first round.  And RB, CB, and S could be if it's either a guy they have ranked very high who drops or if it's the top tier on their board and nobody wants to let them trade back.  Only QB is absolutely a given that they won't take it.

 

I think in general that interior OL or MLB makes a lot of sense given both the team's needs and what is usually available that is still highly regarded.  Pass rush is an obvious need, but the studs all go early.  

 

Stupid draft talk.  God dammit.

TE isn’t in play for any round, much less first, IMO
