    Hope the Ravens don't trade down with the Titans and go big for Tunsil or Bosa.

    If Jalen Ramsey doesn't fall into our lap(which I don't think he will) then I'd be happy enough for us to trade back and pick up another high end 2nd round pick. Tunsil doesn't really fill a need for us and I'm not sure Bosa would fit our scheme. I think DeForest Buckner would be a better fit for us than Bosa.

    We need to strengthen the OL after Kelechi left and Bosa could be the best player left at 6. Not sure though it will be interesting!

    If we trade back who do you see us taking at 15? They are talking about WR Josh Doctson.

    I agree we need to fill the hole at left guard, I just don't think Tunsil helps us do that. He'll slot in at left tackle which will mean either Eugene Monroe shifting over to right tackle and Ricky Wagner dropping to the bench or Wagner will stay at right tackle and Monroe drops to the bench. It doesn't really fix the problem. It would be an upgrade at left tackle though, Monroe has been a bit of a disappointment to be honest.

    My ideal scenario would be to go Defense in the first round and have Cody Whitehair fall in our lap at the top of the 2nd round. He'd slot straight in to that left guard vacancy.

    Who would we pick at #15? Definitely don't think it would be a WR. I think with Perriman, Smith and Aiken as our 1-2-3, we're fairly well set there. The talk is that the Ravens really want to get the Defense back to where it should be. I hope that is the case! So if we were to pick a defensive player at #15 then I'd be hoping for Myles Jack to drop(gotta take him at #15!), Shaq Lawson or maybe Reggie Ragland.

    Who do you fancy at #15?

    EDIT: Just looking at our roster, we are desperate for a DE. If Buckner drops to #6 I think we pretty much have to take him.

    Yeh with all the talk of Jack falling, I would hope he's still available at 15... but would be a long shot. I think Lawson will be gone too.

    So for me it's got to be Bosa, Buckner or Tunsil at 6... I know how Ozzie loves to take the best player available.

    Have you done the predict a pick thing on nfl.com?

    On my board, both Jack and Ragland would be gone by #15. Lawson would still be there though.

    You're right, Ozzie does tend to go by the best player available mantra. I was really hoping it was gonna go Goff-Wentz-Tunsil-Bosa-Jack-Ramsey. But this thing with Myles Jack's knee has pretty much killed off any hope of us getting Jalen Ramsey. Unless we trade up to #3 and I don't see us doing that.

    I'm surprised the Chargers took Bosa, never considered it. Makes sense though.

    Stanley over Tunsil? Not sure I like that pick with the players that were on the board, we could have traded back and got him.

    I bet it's that picture that has made them pick Stanley over Tunsil.

    Oakland Fans have been some of if not the most loyal and supportive fanbases in the NFL for decades, if the Raiders leave Oakland I hope the suffer twice as long as they have since they lost the Super Bowl

    Smart pick I guess especially with how Monroe has been. However, it's not the most exciting. That being said there are great 2nd, 3rd & 4th round players (LB, CB, DE & WR), being the remaining needs for the Ravens.

    Ps * Tom Brady.

    Apparently Tunsil's instagram account hacked too, messages of him talking to coaches about money leaked, admitted it in the presser and was quickly ushered off stage by the Dolphins PR.

    Jack (MLB/LB)
    Spence (DE)
    Correa (DE)
    Ragland (MLB)
    Alexander (CB)

    In that order would be my preference for round 2.

    Ideally we would take a CB in the 3rd:

    Jones
    Redmond
    Davis
    Worley
    Howard
    Fuller
    Sanchez

    All of the above would be good options.

    The 1st round talent left is crazy. I think the Ravens should take the risk and go for Jack, he's too good. Dodd, Ragland or Alexander are great picks too.

    Not sure how I feel about the Ronnie Stanley pick. I'm sure he'll go on to be a solid player for us but I am quite worried about the lack of talent and depth we have at DE. DeForest Buckner was sitting there when we picked. I hope passing on him is not a move we live to regret.

    As for Laremy Tunsil.............what a douche. First the video then having to be rushed off stage at his press conference. :52:

    It's always an anti climax for me when it's a OL that is picked because everyone loves a playmaker. But Stanley will prove to be vital I reckon, they say he's the better run blocker and that could be vital for us.

    Who you feeling for our 2nd round pick?
