I'd be livid with all of those.

Booker or Conerly would be good picks.

[McNulty]

Not at 27

Not at 27

I'd agree with Booker, but Conerly is definitely a 1st round talent with a high floor and really good potential. And considering we only have 2 OTs on our roster, I wouldn't be that upset with the pick.

27. Baltimore Ravens

 

Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Baltimore re-signed LT Ronnie Stanley to a three-year deal and continues to further lock down their offensive line with a smooth mover like Conerly Jr. who allowed just one sack over 523 pass block snaps last year.

I do think the Ravens will ultimately pick the best player at 27. Most draft people expect it to be to 3 or 4 players depending on who slides down the board. Conerly is probably the most likely to become a Raven but EDC always has a few surprises up his sleeve.

I feel like offensive line or DB are the most likely. Just lines up with who is expected to be there. Conerly would be a good pick. But so would about 10 other players projected to be there at 27. Holding out hope that 26 other teams lose all sense, and Will Johnson slides to 27 for the Ravens. A man can dream.

[jamesdean]

Considering the NFL is starved for shut down corners, I'd say the chances of Johnson falling to 27 is slim to none. With 11 picks, maybe this is the year EDC trades up and grabs a player they really covet and I could see Johnson being one of them. But at the end of the day, I still think OL and pass rusher are their two priorities.

[Mackus]

I feel a trade up is less likely than usual, and it's usually not all that likely. No glaring holes and more and more good players needing to get paid. Hamilton and Linderbaum need deals now that'll get real expensive by year 3. Zay can get a deal after next season though I expect they stick year-to-year with him. Cap space is going to get more tight and that means needs more draft picks contributing and that means not turning two or three picks into one earlier pick.

Right player drops and that goes out the window, but I think they stay or move back, not move up. Especially not a big move up to mid-teens or higher that would cost a 2nd or more.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Yeah they arent moving up many spots. Lock that in.  Wont be trading a 2nd or 3rd round pick to go up. Very unlikely they make a small move up but possible.

I feel a move back is more and more likely. Feels like the stregth of this draft are on the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Feels like a year they may move completely out of the first if they can get multiple day 2 picks.

With 11 picks, I'd like to see them stay at 27.  There are some high-quality players who could conceivably fall that far so even if EDC does trade back, I think he'll wait it out until he's within a few positions of 27.  I know the odds are long, but I'm still hoping Mike Green is there when the Ravens pick.

I'm not crazy about any of those picks for the Ravens.

Who are you thinking the pick is going to be?

27) Ravens
 

Kenneth Grant DL

Michigan • Jr • 6'4" / 331 lbs

Projected Team Baltimore PROSPECT RNK 30th POSITION RNK 5th

 

Kenneth Grant spent his college career alongside Mason Graham, which sometimes caused his prowess to be overlooked, but he's a disruptive force on the inside as well. Plus the Ravens staff - considering Michigan has felt like a Baltimore farm system for coaches at times -- will have familiarity with him and know precisely the player they'd be getting.

I doubt Grant falls to 27 but if he did, the Ravens would have to seriously consider him.  He would be a great replacement for Pierce and has the potential to be an elite run stuffer.

I think the Ravens basically replaced Pierce last year with Travis Jones, but I like the idea Grant too.  The Eagles showed that dominant line play can lead to big things.  Keep building the trenches on both sides of the ball.

Pass rush is an issue with Kyle Van Noy up in age and Odafe Oweh is in the final year of his contract. Green is a productive edge player who could help a group that needs it. Offensive line could also be in play here.

He's not going to fall to 27 but man, that would be sweet. 

[Mike B]

Yea, the run on edges that happens every year will likely mean Green is gone by #27.
