mike nolan just stole staley from us

[jkpigskin]

Ben Grubbs it is!

time to make a sig of him!

[Ravens1991]

jk can you get me a Grubbs sig, you know that I was probably his biggest fan on here. But can you wait because I may want our second round player on it also if you can.

if you can find pics of grubbs that are big enough... i cant seem to find any

[Ravens1991]

what size do you need?

[BigDawg819]

Ok I'm not willing to poo-poo the Grubbs selection but check this out:

Ogden - Left Tackle
Brown - Left Guard/Center
Flynn - Center
Vincent - Right Guard
Terry - Tackle
Chester - Right Guard/Center
Rimpf - Right Guard


So why Grubbs and not depth at Tackle? I mean can Grubbs be a Guard/Tackle guy and I'm not aware of or is Vincent on his way out? Any one care to weigh in?

I hate Ben Grubbs, and I really hate SF!!! STALEY WAS OURS!!!!

Well the Ben Grubbs pick definitely suprised me a bit. Very solid pick, I had Grubbs in the 30-35 range, but it wasn't my ideal one. I like him, but there were guys on the board that I rated higher than him. It fills a need, but as I said, there were some guys I liked more, namely Chris Houston. He definitely fits well though, and he solidifies our interior offensive line for the next 5-10 years with Jason Brown and Chris Chester. Mel Kiper seemed to love the pick, and he also seemed so sure it was going to happen.

Welcome to Baltimore, Ben

[Ravens1991]

I guess Vincent is out of here. I mean we could have taken Aaron Sears who has expierence at LT and RT.

no way...

GRUBBS >>> SEARS

[dcarey20]

Also, Kolb to the Eagles at 36. Unfortunately that takes him out of the question for us. He's one of my favorite players in the draft.

This pick is extremely surprising. The Eagles taking a quarterback at 36 is a surprise in itself. Then you factor in him going ahead of Stanton, Edwards, and Beck. I feel he's worth this pick, but with all the hype surrounding those guys, it's surprising that he went this early.

A bunch of picks are showing how unpredictable the draft can be.

[Ravens1991]

wow I hope we get Moses, I think we can bring him in as a 3rd down pass rusher, I think he will do well since he probably wont get double teamed a lot with our team, he also has a bit of expierence at dropping into coverage so hopefully we have JJ play 1st and 2nd down the Moses play passing downs the he practices his coverage so he can play 3-4 OLB and 4-3 OLB.



^^^^^^^^What do you all think about that.

[EdReedUnstoppable]

I think we should have taken Justin Blalock at 29 at not Grubbs thats what I think about it.

[Ravens1991]

why do you have Blaylock ahead of Grubbs?

I like Grubbs better because he is more mobile and with Terry and Chester it seems like we are going to have more athletic o-lineman. Plus I think McGahee will work better with more athletic lineman.

[ccB]

I defintely like Grubbs better than Blaylock. Not too pleased with the pick but not dissapointed either.


I really hope we take Josh Wilson with our second. He, Quentin Moses, Charles Johnson, and Iaskjasldsa Alamamsdams Francis are 4 guys I would like here.

[Ravens1991]

Josh Wilson just got picked, now I am on the Quentin Moses bandwagon hoping he can develop into a 4-3/3-4 OLB player.

[dcarey20]

Congratulations to my boy Josh Wilson, who just came off the board to the Seattle Seahawks. I really like this pick for them and for Josh. The Hawks get a guy who can be an instant contributor at nickelback, and may even challenge Kelly Jennings for playing time.

[ccB]

Well there goes Josh Wilson. I am officially pulling for Marcus McCauley. I have a sinking feeling we end up with Trent Edwards.

[Ravens1991]

I read on a different forum that on Sirius Radio McNair wants the FO to get Troy Smith

I like McCauley and will absolutely hurl if we get Edwards or Smith. Who would have thought that the Ravens would have a horrid first day in the draft? I think our secrets have been leaked too much and used against us. I'm scared......

[Ravens1991]

I am not that happy that we traded down, I really wanted Quentin Moses.

[go_ravens94]

I was happy about the trade-down, especially when Trent was on the board, but YAMON FIGURS and Staley & Quinn getting stolen? In Ozzie I'm losing faith.

[dcarey20]

Damnit I'm really pissed right now....Yamon Figurs, what were we thinking? You take him over a guy like Jason Hill out of Washington State? And that's just a better receiver than him. There were guys at other spots that were twice the prospect Figurs is.

UGHH. I hope he proves me wrong, but I'm extremely dissapointed with this.

I can't remember being this mad at a Ravens pick.

****! THERE WERE SO MANY BETTER OPTIONS. I'M SPEECHLESS. DAMNIT OZZIE WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

[Ravens1991]

looking on the bright side he beat Devin Hester in a race in high school.
