We honestly probably could've gotten this guy as a UDFA.

Everybody said the exact same about Mayo, he's turned out to be a beast and has 1 year before he probably leaves for a starting opportunity somewhere. Ron knows his LBers in the draft. Carter will be just like Klein and Mayo for us and we needed LB depth with Mayo gone and TD probably retiring. Will be a solid pick.

+ TD is supended for first 4 games and will retire at end of season

+ David Mayo will be UFA after the year.

+ Jared Norris and Ben Jacobs are strictly special team guys. 

= Good pick 

 

So, are you suggesting tthat an undersized rookie LB is going to fill in during TDs suspension during the first four games of the season?

NFL scouts and "experts" thought Jimmy Clausen was a 1st round talent-- the gap between real fans and scouts isn't is big as you make it out the be.

Nah, there's a big gap, but scouts and GMs get it wrong all the time. There's busts and steals in every draft and there always we'll be. It's really hard to predict how guys will translate to the next level and it's really hard to predict how they'll handle getting all of that money overnight. I think the latter is a really underrated part of the projection.

Projected by whom?

 

The reason I say this---the projections are wrong, not the GMs for not drafting according to the projections.

How many teams passed on the OT from Ohio state since his projection window--

All of them.

Pretty much every writer/source you read out there.  Nfl.com, walterfootball, you name it

 

And yes the OT fell when most were projected much higher, it happens.

 

I probably would have as big a issue with it, if it were not Hurney as his track record.  Itd be me refusing to take free throw shooting lessons from Dwight Howard and everyone telling me im dumb for refusing since he's a NBA player

True, I think a lot of scouts and GMs fall in love with players who look the part more than have actually shown they can produce at the next level. Scouts fawn over physical attributes and other measurables all the time while I'd prioritize their performance against quality college opposition (SEC and Big10 specifically).

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
