But yours won’t include Zay Flowers 😉

I do agree with you on the positions that I think the Bills will take in round one because LB and tight end are not Premier position to them. I also hate the idea of taking another D lineman early, but because we have no defensive tackles signed for next year it’s still could be a possibility. I just want to protect Josh and get him as many weapons as possible.

I love Kincaid too! Flowers and Kincaid are my two favorite pass catchers to just purely watch in this class but I agree I don’t think the Bills take him as he can’t block and the bills like their players to have versatility

With the 22nd pick in the 2023 NFL draft the Baltimore Ravens select Iowa’s versatile DL/edge Lukas Van Ness. True to form the ravens take best player available and nab the high motor, super athletic Hawkeye, who can play all across the D line for them and helps fill the void of losing Justin Houston and Calais Campbell this offseason. The Vikings and @BigdaddyinOrlando are now on the clock at pick 23

I’ll preface this by saying I think this WR class is underwhelming at the top of the class compared to previous years, most notably last year but… Zay Flowers passes the eye test more than any WR in the class. His height, arm and hands size are all concerns but the kid is a gamer just like Bryce Young is ar QB. If he was at least 6’ with 32”+ arms and 10”+ hands he’d be the NFL scouts consensus #1 guy in this class imo. https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/article/nfl-draft-preview/nfl-draft-wr-rankings-debate-zay-flowers Read the article about his work ethic and we already know about his athletic ability. “Flowers is still a rocketship, posting a 4.42s 40-yard dash (92nd percentile) and a blinding 1.49s 10-yard split (98th percentile), showcasing his trademark burst. Flowers is the rare sub-190 pound receiver, from a noticeably small 2023 WR class, who can win on the inside or outside” The kid can run the route tree, has amazing separation and after the catch he’s like a human algorithm with finding the most concise route to get the most yards out of every opportunity. I absolutely love this kid but if I were just looking at measurements I could see why many will stay clear. Past Pro WRs with an arm length of 31.5 or less that produced at least 1 top-12 season: Greg Jennings DeSean Jackson Pierre Garcon Mike Wallace (Ole Miss) Golden Tate Antonio Brown Eric Decker Randall Cobb Robert Woods Amari Cooper Stefon Diggs Cooper Kupp

I’m with you on Wright but Hyatt doesn’t make much sense. He’s basically a one trick pony who takes the top off of the defense. We just got that in Harty and when Davis doesn’t suck he does the same thing. He doesn’t run the route tree very well at all. This isn’t a sexy draft for amazing WRs but I definitely could be talked into Zay Flowers because the dude can do it all as a little guy. Reminds me of Steve Smith back in the day

I’ll hold out for another hour or 2 at most for my pick of the Ravens but then I’m hitting the sack fellas

Good move. Don’t love Levis but Seattle is a great place for him to develop

Teams have traded other teams in their division before (lions and Vikings have traded twice in the last 12 months) but honestly if you all don’t think it’s possible then just switch the pick from bengals to ravens. I was between Johnson and porter at pick 14 so either is fine. Bengals have a plethora of receiving options and probably aren’t going to pay Higgins so they unload him to the ravens for a chance to get a cheap option with Tee Higgins upside. I also think Mac Jones needs a proven weapon outside of Andrews to start his Ravens career out right You guys decide I’m having fun either way

@aristocrat and the bengals are trading Tee Higgins, pick 28 and pick 92 in the 2023 draft for the Ravens #14 overall pick in the 2023 draft. Bengals are now on the clock

Baltimore is interested in moving down in the draft

The ravens are content with Mac Jones and think they can revive his NFL career now that he won’t have the inept, Matt Patricia coaching him up lol

@inaugural balls and the patriots traded Mac Jones, this years 14th and 76th pick to the Baltimore Ravens for Lamar Jackson. Lamar signed his tender and thanks Baltimore for his time here but is ready to move on and lose to Josh Allen twice a year lol

Lamar is in the building and will sign his franchise tag tender in order to be traded to a team willing to give him at least $200 million guaranteed for 5+ years. Ravens are open to trade offers but must include at the very least this years first round pick Being a PT I know you can run and cut again depending on the damage to your other ligaments but you want to immediately start rehabbing and strengthening your quads most importantly because those bad boys atrophy quick. I definitely can’t move as quick as I could before and I wear a Z-12 berg brace when playing sports but I just don’t want the surgery right now. You can always get it later which is nice with this injury

I tore my ACL last year playing hockey and I remember that pain. The worst part was the bone bruise. Took over a month until I could get a good night sleep. Didn’t get the surgery just rehabbed my knee and stopped playing hockey. Play pickleball instead now lol

I’m all for trading Lamar for the right offer but we may need a poll to make sure everyone is ok with that. Ravens own his rights no matter what this year and he can be traded contingent on him signing his franchise tag. And he wants to be traded…

Good pick by the lions if they don’t trade down and the draft goes this way top 5 that’s exactly what I think they do. Witherspoon is the clear best CB in the draft imo

I actually agree with you on that… they’ve got the right head coach the crazy owner and they’re sticking it to their old city, but it’s more fun to trade him for the purposes of this mock ha ha

Yes, this is all hypothetical, saying that he will sign the tender so he can be traded. Just like Aaron Rodgers hasn’t actually been traded yet but it’s OK whatever the consensus wants. Just don’t be surprised if he actually does get traded during the draft 😉

In this mock draft environment, should the ravens be allowed to offer up Lamar Jackson in a trade with the prerequisite that he signs his franchise tag?

Fun stuff.. looks like alot is filled. I’ll take ravens, panthers or packers

Hopefully we can find a way to do both

Although I’m a fan of most of these guys I think Adetomiwa Adebawore, Josh Downs, Trenton Simpson and Darnell Washington will be around after pick 27 into the 2nd round. But I do love that they’ve had a visit Zay Flowers! That’s my boy

I’m all for getting offensive lineman, especially versatile ones that can play tackle but I’m not sure Brandon wants to go back to the Oklahoma well for his high draft picks on the O line

I actually like their sportscenter guys like Randy Scott but yes the talk show cast is absolutely awful. Once Mike and Mike left it was game over
