I'm happy with our picks so far. Boost that defense to be the best in the league again and the offense won't have so much pressure on it. Playing Ravens football again.

Fuck pit for taking juju tho.

Well, Ravens have made 4 picks, where they seem to have way more information on the players than anyone else.

We take defense like we should. We kept blowing leads and not being able to stop anyone when we needed to.

First, I just want to say that I love that our FO just attacked the rush-LB position to shore up one of our greatest weaknesses. Between Tim Williams, Bowser, Judon, and Suggs, our edge rush should be pretty legit. Hell, maybe Correa will even contribute (doubt it though, lol). Also I think you can expect Za'Darius to be cut; he does literally nothing even average.

Juju Smith isn't really a special player, just a tough possession receiver. I'm happy with that pick as a division rival; we have the personnel to cover him (Humphrey shut him down during their game in 2016, allowing 1 catch for 9 yds). The media had him overhyped if anything, as is typical of USC WRs.

I'm going to have to trust in Oz regarding Tim Williams. He's widely considered the best pure pass-rusher in this class, but his problems regarding passing drug tests scares me. He has insane burst off the line and good bend around the corner, but if he can't pass drug tests, he can't play. Hopefully he's not another Randy Gregory.


Really the only pick that underwhelmed me was the Wormley pick. It screams "meh." He's very strong vs. the run, and he's going to be a decent 5T for us, but he's never going to be a player who wow's you by generating pressure or getting sacks. He has a high floor and good character, but I guess I was just hoping for someone with upside to be great like Kpassagnon.

I know juju was over hyped. I don't expect him amount to nothing spectacular but I like the big body position wrs and I think that's what Joe needs, it's a guy to get right in the way and make it so the db can't get to the ball like boldin did. Really miss that guy.

Enjoy Bowser. Didn't think he'd last until Green Bay's next pick in the second round and if course he didn't. Kid caught my attention early and I'm sad we couldn't get him
