I prefer Donovan Jackson over Booker

better athlete,better pass protector,and can play tackle if someone gets hurt

He won’t be there by the time
Ravens get to pick

I’ll bet ten bucks they’ll go defense
in the first round :francis:

I agree with the better athlete part. ….. but I think Donovan is gone by pick 20 at the latest
I think he'll be there but I agree with @BujuBoombastic that we're gonna go defense :heh:

Im about 80% sure were gonna take a pass rusher

If not a pass rusher then CB or Malaki Starks if he falls

I would go oline tho

Post Combine/Free Agency Mock Draft 1/3

Pick 27 Mike Green - OLB/Edge Marshall
Strengths
Explosive first step and bend around the edge reminiscent of Von Miller - consistently beats tackles with pure speed and ankle flexion
Advanced pass rush repertoire featuring devastating cross-chop move and fluid spin counter that keeps blockers guessing. Violent hands and natural leverage allow him to consistently defeat longer tackles despite size limitations. Relentless motor and closing burst - recorded multiple coverage sacks by staying alive in extended plays. Wrestling background shows up in his sophisticated hand usage and ability to slip blocks in tight quarters. Elite change of direction skills enable him to redirect and flatten to QB when tackles overset outside. Natural instincts for rushing the passer - sets up moves early and counters based on tackle's tendencies. Consistently takes efficient angles to the football and rarely gets pushed past depth as a rusher.
Weaknesses
Lacks ideal bulk and length for setting the edge against NFL tackles in the run game. Will occasionally duck inside gaps and lose containment responsibilities when hunting splash plays. Upper body strength needs development - struggles to disengage once longer tackles lock onto his frame. Limited experience dropping into coverage with only 21 snaps over two seasons at Marshall. Tendency to leave his feet as a tackler leads to missed opportunities in space.


Pick 59 Tre Harris - WR Ole Miss
Strengths
Masterful at the catch point - displays exceptional body control and timing to box out defenders and high-point throws like a power forward snagging. rebounds. Natural hands-catcher who plucks the ball away from his frame with vice-grip mitts, rarely allowing it into his body even in traffic. Elite ball tracker on deep routes who feels defenders and adjusts his path without losing speed, making him deadly on go routes and posts. Physical monster in the red zone who understands how to use his frame to wall off defenders, giving his QB a massive catch radius. Shows savvy in his stems and breaks, particularly on in-breaking routes where he sets up defenders with subtle head-and-shoulder fakes. Excellent field awareness - consistently finds soft spots against zone coverage and works back to the ball when his QB is under pressure. Brings a dog mentality to the blocking game, showing consistent effort and physicality even when he's not the primary target. Clutch performer who elevates his game in big moments - see his 153-yard explosion against LSU and Peach Bowl heroics versus Penn State.
Weaknesses
Acceleration off the line lacks explosiveness, sometimes struggling to beat press coverage cleanly against longer, physical corners. Route tree remains somewhat limited - relies heavily on vertical stems and could add more nuance to his intermediate breaks. Can round off his cuts at times, particularly on comeback routes where sharper breaks would create more separation. Play speed is not elite - builds to his top gear rather than showing instant burst to threaten corners vertically. Contact balance could improve - sometimes gets knocked off his path by physical coverage mid-route, disrupting timing with his QB.

Pick 91 Tate Rutledge - OG Georgia
Devastating power at the point of attack with heavy hands that jar defenders on initial contact, consistently creating immediate displacement on drive blocks. Exceptional anchor ability in pass protection, displaying refined technique to absorb bull rushes while maintaining pocket integrity. Natural leverage player who consistently wins the pad level battle, using his thick frame and strong base to control the point of attack. Executes combo blocks with impressive timing and feel, showing fluid transitions from double teams to climbing to the second level. Brings a nasty demeanor to the trenches, finishing blocks through the whistle and setting a physical tone that energizes the entire offensive line. Shows impressive recovery ability when initially beaten, rarely giving up on plays and fighting to re-establish position. Demonstrates excellent awareness of stunts and twists, communicating effectively with teammates to handle defensive line games. Outstanding grip strength allows him to latch onto defenders and sustain blocks, particularly effective on down blocks and seal assignments.
Weaknesses
Limited position flexibility with experience almost exclusively at right guard could impact his value to teams needing versatile depth. Can occasionally get overaggressive in pass protection against quicker interior rushers, leading to balance issues and recovery situations. Injury history raises some durability concerns, with two significant lower body injuries during his college career. Sometimes struggles to adjust in space against smaller, shifty linebackers when working to the second level. Hand placement can run wide against defenders with good length, allowing them to get into his chest and compromise his leverage.

Pick 128 Kevin Winston Jr. - SS Penn St.
Strengths
Elite run defender with uncanny ability to diagnose and attack run plays; showcases rare instincts when playing downhill that separate him from peers.
Plays with controlled violence that creates highlight-reel collisions; brings the kind of thump that makes skill players aware of his presence on every snap.
Possesses exceptional closing burst that turns angles into straight lines; erases ground between backfield and tackle point with frightening acceleration.
Shows excellent block deconstruction at point of attack; uses length to create separation before shedding and finding the football with natural efficiency.
Tackling technique borders on textbook; combines wrap-up fundamentals with explosive finishing power rarely found in secondary players. Length and frame create ridiculous tackle radius; can corral backs and receivers even when seemingly beaten by initial move or play design. Displays quality zone instincts when keeping everything in front; most comfortable patrolling intermediate areas where he can read and react downhill. Brings a physical enforcer mentality when covering tight ends; uses hands effectively to disrupt routes and timing at line of scrimmage.
Weaknesses
Man coverage skills lag behind run defense ability; struggles to maintain hip fluidity when matching routes vertically from press alignment. High-cut frame creates tightness in transitions; labors to flip hips and accelerate when forced to cover ground quickly from deep alignments. Ball production doesn't match physical tools; lacks anticipatory instincts to jump routes and create turnover opportunities in zone coverage. Can be manipulated by quarterback's eyes and play-action; takes false steps that compromise leverage against more sophisticated passing attacks. Medical evaluation critical after partial ACL tear limited 2024 exposure; minimal starting experience (13 games) raises questions about NFL readiness.
