The 2025 Baltimore Ravens thread

[STAN JONES]

I already said...I don't care what position it is, just get the BPA we need.

The Obi comp is disrespectful lol

First round offensive lineman, maybe Harbaugh would be forced to start him...idk

Our L's came from offensive line penalties, Justin Tucker missing FGs, and mediocre DB play (Williams + Stephens)


Offensive line, DB (specifically Williams/Stephens), and all phases of Special Teams were terrible.

Linderbaum
Faalele
Rosengarten

Faalele was getting better as the season progressed.
Mekari has no business starting

Obi comp isn’t disrespectful

They very similar and people are overrating Nick just like the they did Obi because of his performance at the combine

Hes not a good football player

let some other dumb GM take him in the 1st round. If we take him i I’ll be pissed

IMO guard is still our biggest need

We don’t have a good guard on the roster

Faalele is trash and cant move

If we go into the season with Vorhees and Faalele as our starting guards we’re not winning shyt

Pass rush is definitely a need but atleast we have quality starters and depth there

We don’t have that at guard

a 3rd interior dlineman is also a bigger need than pass rusher to me

we have nobody on the interior after Beeks and Travis Jones

IMO our first 2 picks should be oline and dline

Faalele did start playing better. If he picks up where he left off and has gotten into even better shape, I think he'll have a great season.

I agree with you though, that they do need to get a guard and I wouldn't be mad if they go dline oline with the first 2 picks either.

I'm picking Walter Nolen. He can be dynamic in this scheme and with Beeks drawing attention, he'll develop even faster and his confidence will sky rocket with the success he'll have.

I like Revel too, the CB out of ECU, but I don't see him being an immediate impact. Could be wrong, but I don't think the Ravens have been putting a ton of pressure on rookie defenders recently and easing them in.

You might be onto something with Emmanwori

Nolen is a little too boom or bust for me

he has the potential to be an elite pass rusher as a DT but I could also see him getting pushed around alot in the running game and struggling to see the field

I would take Harmon over Nolen

far as CB goes I dont think any of them would see the field much barring injury

we gotta take a starter in round 1 and we dont have many spots on the team that I can see a rookie winning the starting the job

realistically LG(Vorhees),DE(Brodrick Washington),SS(Ar'Darius)and ILB(Trent Simpson) are the only spots I can see a rookie stepping in and taking the job day 1

my guess is our pick will be one of those positions

I'd prefer oline or dline

we can wait for safety and ILB later in the draft...same with CB

IMO improving in the trenches will help the team way more than drafting another CB or safety

 

[STAN JONES]

You might be onto something with Emmanwori

hes not good

im convinced that people who hype him never actually watched him play outside of youtube highlights

Andrew Mukuba is easily better and hes projected to go in round 3 but Emmanwori is somehow a 1st rounder...shyt doesnt make sense to me

I don't see Jahdee as solely a nickel corner. He's smart and athletic enough to play on the boundary and deep safety (if needed). I'm also high on Makuba.

Jahdee and Josh Simmons are pretty close to me. I'm also prioritizing a 3-4 year short-term window. If we can Nate Wiggins level impact with Jahdee on a his rookie year....that's win and an immediate upgrade from Brandon Stephens
