What a waste of time.  Mine, yours, the writer's, the editor's, the printer's, the web guy,etc.

obviously a NE fan.

 

I think the NE/Barkley thing was for clickbait.

 

Judging by the article, this guy seems like an Oklahomer...or a misguided Ravens fan. He has Orlando Brown ahead of McGlinchey somehow...and then has Mark Andrews in the middle of the 1st round. Both played at Oklahoma and both are current Ravens.

Saquon Barkley going 23rd is the stupidest thing I've ever seen and totally invalidated the entire list.  Guy won Offensive rookie of the year with over 2000 yards from scrimmage and this list has hi at 23...  Every team in the league would take Barkley right now and that includes the Rams and Cowboys who both already have a dynamic back like him...

Not sure Smith's play would push him to the first round.  

 

Turay is interesting. . . he was getting pressure and sacks but he stopped seeing snaps.  

 

Leonard and Nelson for sure would be first rounders if the draft was done over.

Turays decreasing role was surprising tho i assumed others were better at run stopping which seemed to be priority one on defense.  Curious tho.

I know the talk was we were facing more run heavy teams. Plus there is a rookie wall and he really didnt get a ton of snaps in college so maybe they are trying to slowly work him up? :dunno:

I think he'd go in the 1st round if the draft was done again.   A starting O-line player who can play guard or tackle would be sought after.

What happened with Ballard's first draft which was mediocre

at best and last year's draft which was one of the best ever for

the franchise? 

 

Was it trying to find players to fit Pagano's system, poor scouts

or was last draft a lucky fluke? 

Ballard's first draft injuries ended up than main reason you call it mediocre.

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, but his first draft was solid, and the last draft was obviously a great success, not like anyone expects that every year...  

 

2017 - Rd. 1 Starting FS, talented, injury issues.....

            Rd. 2 Enigmatic CB, they sometimes take time to develop, on track to                    start, this year, 3rd corner probable worst case scenario....

            Rd. 3 - Miss

            Rd. 4 - Miss

            Rd. 4 - Starting RB in 2nd year, nearly 1k in RBC....

            Rd. 4 - Rotational DT in 2nd yr, solid backup with potential

            Rd. 5 - solid nickel CB as rookie, Dime/depth CB in 2nd yr.

            Rd. 5 - Solid starting MLB by 2nd yr, talked about as "QB" of D by                            coaches and DROY teammate and others

 

That's not mediocre, it's not great, but is slightly above average, with room for improvement as it ages....

I too was puzzled at calling Ballard's 1st draft mediocre.

Anytime you can draft 8 players and 6 of them either start or contribute is a very successful draft.
